definitely the fallout series. you dont necessarily have to play 1 before 2, but since you have them both you might as well.

then suggest that they make a brand new game set in the star wars universe instead of suggesting that kotors current system gets a major overhaul.

irrelevant to anything ive said or stated. ive never mentioned story or anything other than the action-based combat you want implemented.

weirdest comment ever.

combat is optional? name one rpg where you can avoid combat 100% throughout the game. especially using kotor, since thats what your original post is about. it is IMPOSSIBLE to play kotor (or kotor2) without entering combat. so therefore the combat is not "optional" at all, and thus how combat functions is very much important.

please dont even joke about that.

its still much more of a "twitch gamer" ability though. i was equally as "newbish" to the star wars d20 rules bioware used, as i was to vampire: the masquerades combat system, yet in bloodlines i succeeded when my ability to properly target an enemy became better. at the beginning, when i had no clue what i was doing, i was getting beaten up by the weakest of enemies. but once i was able to get the "twitch" aspect down properly, most of the supposed harder bosses werent much of a challenge for me. in contrast, when i played kotor, it was always, ALWAYS my characters abilities that determined whether a battle was easy or difficult.

last time i ordered video game software off amazon, the shipping wait was actually 3 weeks. which surprised me, since anytime i ordered a book off amazon it took literally a day or 2.

that review makes the game sound incredibly disappointing. too bad. i was actually looking forward to this game.

actually, you dont get it if you keep saying that we have a "fear" of anything remotely action based. i dont "fear" action games, or twitch games. i just dont like them. i prefer it when my characters ability determines whether i win or lose, not whether my ability to press buttons is good enough. this is especially true in games in which you go to a large amount of time and effort to build skills and abilities for the character. if my ability to push the right button combination is what determines if i defeat an enemy, then what difference does it make if my character is built as a stealth assassin as compared to a walking tank of a fighter? it doesnt. whereas if my characters stats determine the outcome of a battle, then creating a stealth character will actually differ from creating a walking killing machine. see? nothing to do with "fear" at all and everything to do with playing to the strength of the genre. and in the case of rpgs, the strength of the genre, imo, is the ability to build and mold different characters based on how i allocate their skill points. adding a twitch element to combat would make all those decisions moot.

so yeah....has there been any new news regarding troikas situation? didnt leo say something about a february press release? i know its just the first week in february, but i figured thats usually whats implied when someone says theyll have an official comment in february.

The force is strong in this one... though I fear he is no match for Darth Gallo <{POST_SNAPBACK}> always 2, there are. but which is darth gallo? the master, or the apprentice? :ph34r:

you dont know the power of darth gallo do you? only now do you understand!

and coleco vision is still the top selling video game system.

You should talk to G0-T0 and he will tell you where Goto is <{POST_SNAPBACK}> haha yeah sounds like someone didnt get goto to open up enough, otherwise that answer would have been known. "

them? you mean him. im only refering the guy who made promises then broke them and never bothered to actually address why he did so, and yet again is presented with valid questions about bugs and glitches being fixed and chooses to ignore/sidestep the question.

you mean the same guy who sidestepped every single question about whether the bugs and glitches in the xbox version were fixed for the pc version? "

i dont think so. the atton one that was posted above happened automatically when i "have" to talk to him on peragus (ie. it wasnt an optional conversation).

i hope its delayed until the summer. "

there was an area like that in kotor1 too though. in the vulkars (or was it the beks) base.

next to the boss dude guy.

have you played vampire: the masquerade bloodlines? youd have your answer why twitch combat, combined with pc abilities dont work too well.

what was the point of goto anyways, other than as a plot device character? he might as well have been a non-party npc, since most of his importance came through the story, not through being part of your party.

if you do get special items, ill never receive them. i dislike swoop racing with a passion and never bother with it after maybe one trial run on each worlds track.

can it even really be called a romance?
