And the real scoop is that FO4 is being made with Valve's Havok engine, and will be delivered in weekly instalments via Steam. :D

Halleluja! Amen. Kreia is the One True Prophet! The Anti-Force Force will defeat the tyrrany of the Force by destroying it (as the Force has foreseen and wills) and consequently restoring free will to the galaxy ...

Maybe the poster hasn't used those menus ...

You did. Go back and play it again.

I have lots of savegames, but only with female characters.

There were four ships that the remote had to visit, and supposedly thousands of ships on M5 ...

Underwhelming? He seemed pretty shaken up by it. Not to mention it's difficult to point to a movie and create an effect of how those many deaths would actually appear on screen. Should Obi-Wan have fallen over unconscious? Should he have began screaming? Luke was new to the Force thing. He barely had access to it at that point so he wouldn't even notice it. ... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So, the mighty Exile almost dies; forced to be deafened to the Force on pain of instant death; Obi-Wan gets a headache and Luke (the offspring of the Chosen One, who was created out of pure midichlorians) says "You alright, daddio?". Yep, that's about as consistent as GL gets.

Still, Obi had a pretty underwelming reaction to it (considering the Exile was in mortal danger). Ditto for Luke. I always interpreted that scene as just a halucinatory trip; the Jedi in the everlasting-Hsissis room says pretty much this in his journal. In other words, the imagery is just window-dressing for the Sith Assassins ... after all, it's not really the companions, is it?

You make some interesting points; the one I have quoted above I would add a small clarification: if the Exile was deaf to the Force, that doesn't mean the Force wasn't still a part of the Exile. Beethoven could still feel the effect of the orchestra's playing through the wooden floor, for example. Because that was the fate he resisted at Malachor V. ... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> How do you figure that? I would argue that if the Force makes fate. So the only fate for the Exile was for the Exile to survive M5 and complete this quest. Just like every time you watch Star Wars, Luke always hits that vent shaft, even though it's not much wider than a Wamprat that he used to bullseye in his old T16. :D No, I don't agree. If there is one thing consistent about Kreia throughout the game, then it's that she cares more about being right in her theories and teachings than anything. She constantly wants the Exile to listen to her advice, but she has problem being threatened or used as long as the Exile does so. Kreia was exiled by the jedi, because they [viewed] her teachings as misguided, flawed and corrupting. If Kreia wanted to kill the force, then why did she wait around on Malachor V for the Exile to stop her? Because her intention wasn't to actually kill the force as much as being confirmed in her theories and teachings and proving that the jedi were wrong about her. ... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, the explanation I understodd as to why Kreia waits at the end of the game (apart from the obvious) is that she wanted to kill the Force, by creating a new, bigger wound out of the previous Wound. (And she was going to do this without the Exile if necessary, by committing suicide and causing the Bond to transmit the fatal Force wound, but I digress into highlighting poor plot progression. I won't even bother raising the point about how the death of Nihilus, another Wound in the Force, didn't seem to achieve this.) So Kreia was waiting to kill the Force. When she failed, then I guess she was just being philosophical about it ... PS I wonder if they were leaving Bao-Dur as a place-holder for any future K game. After all, he was left without a clearly vocalised destiny ...

Over-rated: Bad sex. Under-rated: Good defecation.

Watch more tv.

That sounds like a prediction ... over here, guys: I think we have another for the un-American Trials ...

Another case solved by Lou Gutman, PI.

I was kidding. I don't think your savegame could be edited: if it is corrupt then you have to throw it away and start again.

Right, so K2 had too much Revan, so K3 = kill Revan. Got it.

When you say "collectively greater than the sum of their parts", do you mean it is worse or better, as you were summing negatives ...

I blame spin. In the age of the soundbite, if an advocate can be quoted with a criticism emitting from their lips, then that's repeated on a loop ad infinitum. Consequently, free speech is stiffled ...

Australia will.

Oh, what times we live in when knights are free to ssay "Ni!" to ladies in broad daylight ...!

Germany = political posturing ahead of election. (Also Germany currently has no effective military force AND it may have been a political man

It looks very picturesque there in the land of Richie Cunningham and Fonzie ...

It was actually a coded polemic, subtitled: "communist whine" ...

I'm recalling (correctly, I believe) from recent current affairs summaries. What are your facts?

If, by promoting the dispossessed and providing them with a voice, the UNDP achieves less violence, then I think that perfectly fulfills their mandates (including the over-aching UN mandate).

I would have thought that the best solution was not to isolate the Jewish peoples in a hermetically sealed country, but to help re-intergrate them back into all the world's communities. After all, I don't want to be sent off to Geekworld, just because so few people understand geek holidays and we speak a funny language ...
