Reasons for replaying
Any enthusiasm I had for playing this game evaporated on the second playthrough, when I realised that the entire endgame is scripted exactly the same, regardless of what I do. I may load the game again, to play the content mod. Or not. If I do, I won't play the game again afterwards; there are too many better games out there.

The point is the visions weren't part of the past or the future. They were just images.

Revan & the Exile's gender/alignment
Ugh. I. HATE. THESE. TOPICS. "Official"? What a load of garbage. Both the Exile and Revan were chosen by the players of the game. I do not want someone telling me what to choose, nor that my choices are invalid. Therefore I reject out of hand all attempts by sad anoraks to pigeon-hole the already-overly-simplistic characters into even more mindnumbingly shallow stereotypes (if that is possible). What is Revan? She is female, or male, LS or DS. Depending on what I chose when I play. Ditto for the Exile. Mental invalids that require an "authority figure" to choose for them can indulge themselves in this digital onanism, I shall treat it with the disdain it deserves. All we need now is some idiot to suggest that they "really, really love each other, very much" (for the benefit of the Right Wing militant Religious Conservatives) and there'll be a baby. T'rific. Just what the lame series needs. A lame PC to end it. /digusted.

1. Senator Organa. 2. Force is not a spacial force; "Judge me by my size, do you?" (Yoda, ESB) 3. You cannot possibly know that. She did for a short while, and that's what I think the tomb shows. I considered the whole tomb like a "second chance" test to Exile and I played it with the (trying to be LS) reasoning that you don't regret anything because it made you the person you are now. ... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No. The Koriban tomb was all in the Exile's mind. It was not a timemachine, it was not a view of the past or future, or even alternate realities. It was a bunch of Assassins, masked by the DS, in the guise of familiar people to attack the Exile's mind. None of the team mates in the tomb, for example, were really there. "Apathy is death!"

Yeah, the reason Mandalore doesn't ever take his mask off is because Canderous is just making faces all the time ...

KotoR 3: Ideas and Suggestions
I think a lot of people are in danger of limiting the game unnecessarily; sure Brianna wasn't involved in the game if your Exile was female, for example. This doesn't mean she doesn't exist, for the purposes of future games; she already felt different and was ostracised by her sisters and Atris, so it is not a big jump to her joining a female Exile / Mical / Bastila / Atris / whomever ex post facto. Especially if Atris was spared (all the sisters weren't), then she would look upon Brianna with different eyes ...

Sound
I think there is cause to seperate the score from the sound, which is why I titled this thread "sound". Of course a good score can improve the mood, immersion, tension, suspension of disbelief, practically everything (just watch The Omen and tell me it isn't so ...), but equally music on repeat can soon take away almost everything that it gave the game. The GTA series seems to have clevery invested in audio, so that it is even possible to load up the player's own music. I think the soundscape in NwN was pretty well handled; the soundtrack of the first game, particularly when the PC had to descend into the jail, was very apt (chains and screams).

KotoR 3: Ideas and Suggestions
<{POST_SNAPBACK}> 1. Controversial, but I have no problem with bringing any of the Grey Jedi back as teachers. If Jolee is still around, he would provide just the antidote to the illness that the Jedi Council seems to be suffering from (or rather, seemed to be suffering from, before they were all killed). Sure, it means that Revan couldn't have killed him on the Star Forge, but that is not a big assumption to make, after all he might never have gone. 2. I see no problem with this either, despite Calax's (wrong) assertion that it is impossible. I would like to play every race as a PC (well, except for Jawas and Hutts, but that's personal preference). 3. If you remember K1, there were more and more common instances of the Rakatans being Force Sensitive; recall the barbarian leader was FS. And, um, you could always just copy and paste from the post immediately above, if you had a problem with spelling ... it must have taken longer to type your explanation than to do that. Also, Revan's dead, Zed.

Read my response to kotorkyle's post. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Look, if you're not going to take this seriously ... ... We can make stuff up and back-form reasons as to why the inconsistencies exist, even make them look like they had to be there for continuity ... still doesn't change the fact that it was garbage. "
