One thing I would like to see "enhanced" is when using lightsabers to open doors/strongboxes. If you could somehow implement it in a way like Qui-Gon Jinn did in the opening combat scene of Episode I where he used his lightsabre to "melt" the door -- would be cool.
Good idea.
Sabers don't need to 'bash' doors open, they can melt the lock.
If they do it Qui-Gon style that would be great.
-
I am sure you will only be sabreless for an hour.
Longer than that I think, like the time it took for you to receive a saber in Kotor. Of course you weren't even a Jedi on Taris. You have to "work" for your saber, that implies more than a quest.
-
Besdies, there's already a whole bunch of imature punks on this baord - me, and Drakron being two of them.
-
Possibly. Don't bet on it though.

and kefka, how would another twist be ludicrous? eery half decent game storyline has at least one twist in it. but if you mean a reven-esque 'i was satan himself' twist then, agreed that would suck
Yeah, I meant a revan-esque twist. There should be no 'revelations' for the PC. A storyline twist is fine.
-
Yes, that picture is sweet, but the simultaneous release is even better - very wise since there'd be a lot of pissed off PC owners. I'd expect a few suicides too.

Not me, every sith lord is eventually overthrown by his apprentice. Even the original dark sider, vecna. You would think they would eventually learn.
yeah, probably true, but even the darkest sith needs help to rise the ranks and reach the top. After that you can discard or kill your followers. A few might be apprentices but they know their role. You lead, they follow.

About time!

I couldn't get rid of the feeling, that I was shopping in a supermarket when walking around Ahto city
They reused the Korriban theme in Ahto city? That's sick! Those fish heads have a lot to answer for.
-
what i don't understand is why KOTOR2 just doesn't start you off as a proper newb, instead of these bloody stupid conceits.
There must be a reason for that. I'd prefer a newb, that would explain the lack of powers and lightsaber, but in Kotor2 you are a 'veteran'. I'm sure they're setting us up for something, we just don't know what yet. Another twist would be ludicrous.
-
Is this board going to look like Bioware's KoTOR forum?
Yes.
Sad, but true.

In the attack of the clones, the sith lord Palpatine says, "I will not let this republic that has stood for a thousand years...."
However, Knights of the old Republic is set Four thousand years before the films, so some how all record of the old republic has been destroyed
Don't let it bother you, Lucas can't explain it either. Continuity was thrown out the window a long time ago.

Why was the music lackluster? Believe it or not but that is SW music and will forever remain.
When I say lackluster I don't necessarily mean bad. I just don't think it felt like a Star Wars score, except for the famous music at the start! Korriban was the most dramatic to me because that reflected the situation. It gave you a sense of dread which suits Korriban perfectly. The other themes I can't even remember.
-
An original game please, not a rehash or sequel.
-
I'm a darksider, and I'd be more than willing to keep any character around that helps me. It means they've learned their place. If they have nothing to offer they can leave or die.
-
The music was okay, I wasn't exactly blown away though.
My favorite piece was on Korriban. That was the most epic in a rather lacklustre score.
-
I don't think Coruscant will appear in Kotor2...
It's impossible to do justice to Coruscant with the odyssey engine.
Yeah, we have no proof yet so call it a feeling.
-
I'm not so sure about the majority, but how about more puzzles and quests/missions involving critical-thinking skills, instead of just blasting people in a linear dungeon or somesuch?
I think most people would agree with you, but not if it means those floor/ring puzzles.
You know, Naga Sadow's tomb to get his sword (ring puzzle), and opening the Rakata computer room (floor puzzle). Some people had major problems with the H pattern. They never found that journal - haha!
Critical-thinking skills are fine, but not if they're so frustrating people give up.
-
Meh, ofcourse it doesn't say who will return, but thanks for the quote though.
No it doesn't say who is returning but the designers have to be careful.
In my game; Jolee, Juhani, and Mission died. Carth ran away of course. If I'd played a female Carth would also be dead.
That's 4 characters who can't return if they allow you to choose darkside.
So the list you made is fairly accurate I think, except for Mission (dead), Carth (possibly dead).
All this is avoided if your decisions at the start decide who appears, but I don't think they'll go that far.
-
More stuff like the first half of the Leviathan. Solo character, separated from your gear, sneaking around and avoiding the guards (Mission was the most fun).
I always use Mission on the Leviathan. The situation cries out for a stealth approach. I've never even tried the other characters. I probably should but I can't bring myself to - Mission feels so right. You get that "Obi Wan sneaking around the Death Star" feel.
So yeah. More sneaky infiltration and less all-out assault. The last I checked, Jedi weren't supposed to kill beings that they didn't have to anywayJedi would like that but what if you're a Sith? The assassin prestige class might answer that. That should involve lots of sneaking around with silent kills.
-
ok, here's a quote
Whether it answers your question fully is another thing.
Many characters you knew from the first KOTOR will make appearances (if only cameos) in this game. But don't expect to see everyone (Gallio says they "had to be careful about who died and who lived") and don't expect them to all to play major rolesSo, some will be returning but not all, which is a smart decision, imo.
-
Can i have a direct quote on that from the devs? I don't remember reading that anywhere...
I can't give you a direct quote but I'm sure I read it somewhere.

Icewind Dale II "The Town Of Targos"
http://www.inonzur.com/music.html
(mp3 version)
It is reminiscent of Conan but not exactly the same, definitely borderline rip-off though.
-
not if they're dead they won't.
I meant when they're alive. Looting dead bodies is fine by me.
p.s. and as darque pointed out, obi wan didn't have any problem loaning his lightsabre to anakin to DW against dooku in episode 2.I don't mind that either so long as it's their choice. In Kotor you can take NPC weapons and leave them fighting with their fists. That ain't right. Some items should be personal that you can't use, e.g. Carth's blaster.
The simultanius Xbox and PC release...

I don't expect Kotor2 to be radically different on PC. The first game was a decent port except for the controls, poor mouse support, etc. You can't change the design too much. The simultaneous release probably means that both platforms have their own 'version'.
