NeverwinterKnight

i think this is just the mods' way of messing with our heads.

happy new year, everyone! hopefully everyone had a fun and especially, safe, new years.

i think this quote explains how i viewed both games, pertaining to their respective stories. kotor1's was more fluid, but a bit less indepth, whereas kotor2's story was a bit more jumbled, but had more depth in what it was trying to say.

i know. i also hate coming off as a 'fanboy', but these people who dont have a clue about facts and use absolutely false statements (such as ephiphany did) to try and 'prove a point' are annoying. the fact that they keep quoting a lucasarts employee's statements as some kind of proof that obsidian is at fault just makes it even more annoying to read.

especially when the original post didnt even really have a valid question that needed answering. i doubt theyre going to answer all 'hi, say hello to me' posts. <_<

i had to vote for the 'maybe' option. i think that depending on the ratings the individual games are given, then it shouldnt be a big deal. it would be much like movies where if there is a lot of blood and guts or a lot of gratuitous sex then it will get a high rating and minors will not be able to view it. im wondering how strict game stores are about selling 'r-rated' games to youngsters. as a whole, though, i dont think violence in general has gotten too high. there are some extreme cases that maybe should have toned down, but as long as the mainstream of games remains in that 'acceptable' level then i dont think its a big deal (as long as the ratings system is followed and adhered to).

yet another person who likes to bash without the actual information. as i said to the other whiner, mike gallo is a LUCASARTS employee. he was in charge of the project from lucasarts' end.

yeah i was wondering why she kept doing that for me too. after every battle i had to deal with running in super fast mode since shed cast it every time. <_<

who surprised you the most? who disappointed you the most based on expectations before the game was released? based on two play throughs (it might change after a couple more play throughs), these are mine: warning: since i posted this in the spoiler forum, expect spoilers in my explanations. most favorite atton rand - he had a deep backstory and i thought his comments were entertaining throughout the game. he was this game's 'carth onasi' but without the whining and prissy attitude. handmaiden - i enjoyed her backstory and her interaction with the exile. i also enjoyed her ties to the main story and atris' academy. mira - gotta say i love her wrist rocket launcher. overall a fun character. visas marr - great backstory and an overall interesting character. like handmaiden, she has great interaction with the exile. kreia - honestly, i loved the character. she reminded me so much of palpatine and thought she probably had the deepest and indepth backstory and interaction with the exile. t3-m4 - while he still isnt one of my favorites, per se, i enjoyed him much more in tsl than in kotor1. this time he actually had a part to play in the grand scheme of things. darth sion - i liked the character. i liked the voice they chose for him too. i thought he was the most fleshed out (pardon the pun) of the antagonists and had an interesting story. least favorite mandalore - imo, he was better in kotor1 as just canderous ordo. since his backstory was already known from kotor1, he just wasnt as interesting or as deep this time around. bao-dur - i just never got in to the character. he seemed a bit boring and his interaction and story with the exile wasnt as fulfilling as the others mentioned above. his 'special ability' was ok, but not enough for me to bring him along except when i had to or when i purposely was trying to gain influence with him. hk-47 - much like canderous, his story was more interesting in kotor1. his story probably would have been better had they not removed the whole 'droid factory planet' level. goto - i guess im just not a big fan of droids. although his 'revelations' were interesting, i didnt really enjoy the character much. i dont think i ever even used him in my party. all my interactions with him were aboard the ebon hawk. darth nihilus - considering he had his face plastered everywhere and it seemed as if he was going to be the main antagonist, he turned out to be very disappointing, imo. his story, while...believable, wasnt really expanded upon and other than the odd dialogue with kreia and visas, we never really 'saw' his power. i would have liked to see much more cutscenes illustrating his 'power'. atris - first off, i thought she was going to be the bastila shan of this game. the 'young female love interest' so to speak. i didnt realize she was going to be so old. maybe it was just the character model, but she looked not much younger than kreia. also, like nihilus, despite getting so much cover time on magazines and what not, she wasnt a main player in the overall story. yes, she had her part to play, but my expectations were high for her and she turned out to be just a supporting cast. someone like visas marr or kreia should have been on all the magazine covers since they were in the game much more. note: i havent played as a female yet, so i havent had disciple in my party. and my play through as ds, i must not have been dark enough since i didnt get hanharr in my party either, so i cant comment on either of them.

thats simply not true. you were told about what happened on each of those worlds as well as your party members.

also when you talk to handmaiden about whether jedi love or get married. one of the dialogue responses is something like "it's known as pulling a bindo".

its not broken.

youre going to be disappointed then.

nwn2 dragon age fallout 3 the new morrowind (hey, you never know. the idea was right, the implementation just wasnt)

neverwinternight2. i enjoyed the first installment despite its weak sp campaign. so i want to see what that game can truly accomplish when the sp campaign is going to be one of the main priorities this time instead of an afterthought.

that was a very good user made module. not that id necessarily vote for kotor, but its curious the original thread author adds toee but not kotor. the thread question should have been 'of the games that i, roshan, enjoy most, which one do you guys like?' <_<

since i had zero (zip, nadda, none, the big 'o') technical issues with my game, theres only two things that were unsatisfactory about it: 1)the difficulty level or lack thereof and 2)the last planet.

i thought both kotor 1 and 2 had their strengths and weaknesses. enough to say that kotor2 was a good game but about equal to that of kotor1.

i was disappointed when i found about this. i played through and got the entire hk-47 speech and expected that maybe one of the major quests would be to destroy the droid factory. then all of a sudden theres nothing about it. i do agree that if a planet is removed due to time constraints then maybe the coinciding dialogue and story should be removed or atleast altered so that were not left wondering why we cant complete a quest.

for what its worth though, i dont think the influence system is 'flawed'. in my current play through as a ls male i think its implementation and idea works fine too. i think the problem people are having is they are always picking the 'extreme' answer when they talk to a npc based on their alignment, and that just doesnt work. it seems if someone is a darksider and they want to turn a lightsider to the ds, theyll respond with all the 'darkside' options rather than choosing the option that would manipulate the npc. i think senator palpantine is the perfect 'real' example of how the influence system works. by all intents and purposes hes a darkside character to the max. yet when you see him around 'npcs' hell tell them what they want to hear and sound sympathetic to their plight.

glad im not the only one that has this graphical anomaly.

mine works fine.

i played through as a ds male (although the influence system had me a bit confused so i ended up playing 'neutral' through much of it) and i never encountered carth. also, i never got in to that cave because you have to be either extremely ls or extremely ds to enter (thats the message i got when i tried) so i never got to see bastila either. atleast now i know i have stuff to look forward to on my next play through.

through the development we heard that there will be more npcs than what you can actually have join you, so im wondering how many total are there and who are they? i had kreia, atton, handmaiden, visas, mandalore, bao-dur, mira, goto, hk, and t3. the only one i can think of playing as a ds male that was unavailable to me was disciple. who else is there?

vroom....isnt that the sound a car makes when driving fast? <_<
