Personal oppinion ? He's a poor weak thing under pressure from way to many powerful interests. Probably not evil, just not too bright.

Please don't even think about it... A big unnaturally strong jedi, with a miniature giant space hamster pocketed in his jedi robes... wielding a two-handed lightsaber and yelling "Buttkicking for goodness!" B) Prone to go into a berserker rage when fighting Sith and smugglers

Much logic I sense in that one...

Pervert! Go look up under Volourns skirts... In the unlikely event that I should ever end up in the gaming industry, I would prefer something where I could exercise my AI skills. I really miss working with that. Not sure which job description it would fall under though.

Is this a beginning of a developer diary ?

I could imagine that swoopracing would benefit from Ac/Dc's "Highway to Hell" as background music.

I might just save that one for a future occasion Unfortunately you're right. Even the name TSR (Tactical Studies Rules) suggest that it's old games like DnD was about tactical combat and the fine art of creating a framework for all that combat. Also, one of the reasons that games like Fallout and PS:T has a cult status instead of being a commercial legend. In those games, you could avoid most of the tedious combat and find other things to pass time and gain benefits from. But like a previous poster mentioned, people who like a more complex approach to problem solving are a minority, compared to the munchkin masses with the loose money. Whether it's lack of imagination, inferiority complexes, plain boredom, whatever, the majority of buyers seems to prefer games where they can whack something on a regular basis (perhaps the wife is bigger and stronger than themself ?) So, gamers like "us" (us being those who don't care much for overabundance of combat in crpgs) will still be a small niche market, with the occasional exotic title thrown in our direction every decade or so.

What happened to producer ?!? Btw. how do you pronounce Urquhart. [ur-ku-hart] or [ur-kart] ?

How many npcs could possibly survive from Kotor1 to Kotor2... Revan Canderous T3 HK-47 Isn't that pretty much it ? The rest, including third party femily members etc. could be disposed of somehow, even if it was just at the end. Canderous and HK-47 are busy following Revan, so that leaves T3 for a new player. That means, T3 is pretty much the only one that can tie the old story in with the new story. ... Now comes the twist! ... Revan downloaded the blueprints for a weapon of gargantuan dimensions from the Starforge, aptly named "The Deathstar" and stored them in T3's memory. That would tie Kotor2's story neatly with the 27 sequels and the movies Episode I and Episode II

Kotor2: The Lich Lords... :ph34r:

Thank you And it probably didn't even hurt...

T3: Rise of the machines...

Charging into combat with the dark jedi on the Starforge, lightsaber blazing, to the tunes of "I was made for loving you" by Kiss... ...can't you get enough of me ?...

Why are you going through that much trouble to ensure that people do *not* read your post ?!?

...and a less obnoxious signature...

Since the announcement of KOTORII, i'd wager most of the pople here are mostly rabid teenagers... I would put my money too on that the announcement lowered the average age of the boardmembers.

Yes please ? It is sort of nice to see what makes up a game, what makes people tick etc. Besides, it would give of something of substance to complain about regularly.

I'm not exactly an expert on ATI products and AGP, but I know that around the 4x and 8x generation, they came with different voltages. But then, you shouldn't even have been able to force the card into the slot. Have you tried borrowing a gfx card from a friend (assuming you have those ) and plug it into your board ? Might eliminate one of two possible causes (defect motherboard or defect gfx card).

(You) "Now listen you..." [force choke] *Urrrrkkk...*. (You) Your predecessor once made the mistake of questioning my directions for the Ebon Hawk. I said: "Fly through that asteroid field!" (Unfortunate NPC now piloting the Ebon Hawk) *Gasp!* "Yes M'Lord! Right away. I'll punch in the new coordinates!"

Imagine the start of the game...: Was Revan male or female ? Beep! Beep bop! How did the romance between Revan and partner end ? Beep beep peeuww... Beep bop beeeep! BLEEP! When did you last see Juhani ? Beep! Beep beep! Booop! Etc.

Thanks Although I'm getting to the point, where getting out of the bed in the morning is like fighting rigor mortis...

Why spoil it ? Perhaps it's supposed to be unknown ?

My GeForce fx5900 Ultra w. 256 mb ram did leave the xbox version very dull looking. But then, not everybody wants to spend like 500 us$ on gfx cards alone. I never checked the sound on an xbox, does it have 6.1 or 5.1 surround sound ? It does look good in very high resolutions and all effects Even the Selkath (may their planet turn to desert) looked appropriately "wet" and fishy when exposed to a lightsource. So no reason for me to consider investing in other hardware, that I wouldn't really use anyway (it would just gather dust...).
