Actually, PJ co-wrote the screenplay, with Philipa Boyens and Fran Walsh, so he shares some blame for the story, considering they were brave enough to change large parts of The Fellowship of the Ring; it was well within their remit to edit The Return of the King (which they did, but not to its betterment, imo). :cool:

OK, so you start with a loaded gun, fire a shot... reload, then fire again, 2.3 seconds later. elapsed time so far is 2.3 seconds. reload, then fire again, 2.3 seconds later. elapsed time is now 4.6 seconds, and 3 shots have been fired. oddly, in less than 5 seconds. a feat previously thought impossible because...? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ...because somebody thought it toook 6.9 seconds....? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ah, the power of numeracy ...

But beware the bukkake head shot my little friend. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Mine, or theirs?

I'd like to see a lot more interaction between the party members, for example, like the Kreia-Atton enmity. Some NPCs should not want to work with others, on principle. Others might work, but grudgingly, and even make snide criticisms when they make mistakes, etc. A bit like the Tomb challenge on Korriban, but better.

I couldn't disagree more. just because it is more difficult, doesn't mean it's not worth doing. For example, back in the eighties, Infocom published Planetfall. In the game, very early on, you meet a little robot, who becomes your companion, until it suddenly risks its life to further the plot . Granted this is linear, but the only difficulty with scripting optional characters is managing the difficulty: this could easily be adjusted with "magic" items and enemy NPC numbers, for example. I really don't see how it is so difficult to script in the death of a party member, and have it affect the plot. (It was done in K2, albeit poorly, in Malachor.) There are numerous sections of both KotORs that have enforced solo and mandatory companions gameplay sections. It's really not much more difficult than that; I don't see why you think this is so hard. Even if it was just one of the party, randomly chosen, that would be a step in the right direction. Or a random party member (default love interest / padawan / master) or, failing that (if the party member survives, for example), an innocent hostage is taken (LS) or special "magic" item is stolen / escapes with retreating enemies (DS), impelling the party / solo character to give chase. It's not hard, really. That's LS, DS, male and female all taken care of, in one paragraph!

Because Canderous, aka the Candy Man, is more a gay icon than an object of female attention. "

But, they're releasing a patch to fix that soon! "

You can still get access; IIRC the Czerka woman gives you the forged credentials.

What is the medal second from the left in the top row? It looks like a baggy Australian bush hat!

Yeah, but Divine Divinity still sucks.

Ha! That just makes me feel older, like when I see the police walking their beat, and I think they can't be out of school, yet. Maybe Kreia, whilst living under the guise of Kae, had one of her (fertilised) embryos kept frozen until some event later in her life ...

Revan who?

useless info: there are only a couple of mystery ingredients (making up less than some fraction of a percentile of the weight per volume of the mixture), and they are kept in a locked safe in the headquarters in Atlanta. Coca Cola actually turned down a lucrative Indian bottling venture because it was insisted that the product had to be made on site, and not shipped in in syrup form; this meant that the ingredients would have to be revealed (to a very few people, admittedly, then again only two know the secret ingredients presently).

You are underestimating the Force. (That's the Force of the Carth Fangirl club membership bloc voting ...)

Yep, Creaming Soda = Sarsperella. :D Guava.

It is a little presumptuous to rule out Kreia based on age, anyway. How old is she meant to look? I can't tell, she's got a blinking hood over her face!

There's a couple of unlimited plasma / carbonite weapons for T3 (should you not want to directly control him, but then again, all the characters are pretty mindless when not under supervision, due to the combat queue AI and bugs); just have only the one waepon useable for the little bin. The biggest problem was the combat queue and AI voiding and populating of same.

Maybe the padawan's master's master is the padawan's master, too.

Not David or Eva, then ... *sings: "C'mon, get happy ..." *

It is best practice to have the latest drivers. A lot of hardware vendors will not even begin support calls until the drivers are up to date (e.g. Compaq). I have found the later ATi drivers to be pretty stable, although the movies still give problems if I leave them active whilst playing the game. (I can watch them in batch, but after a couple of the movies in game, my system crashes with a illegal memory call. This was a problem with K1, too, although it was nowhere near as bad.)

Announcing Metadigital's new card game

I'm excited.

I would even say there should be a seperate NPC for the PC's padawan / apprentice (Jedi / Sith), to be picked up late in the game. PS Oops, I forgot the Scout. :"> Scouts are a magicless-magic user, crossed with a thief: or just a high-INT thief (loads of skills points but no magic). Anyway, they could have a male/female option, like K2, or not. They could have a romance option, or better yet tie in your padawan (LS): there is certainly a filial agap

By Orac, the only bad thing about Blake's Seven was the acting. Great ideas, though. :cool:
