It is possible to get HK-47 into a confrontation, despite all the cuts. Check out CanterwoodBoy's thread on Finishing K2 in 7 hours: (<{POST_SNAPBACK}>)

It did feel like that, didn't it? I guess the argument would be that KotOR2 had deeper characters and an influence system to interact with them better. Well, that was the plan, I'm sure.

You are just another sheep in the flock that end up in the larder of the Force Sensitives. PS Socrates is attributed with saying: The unexamined life is not worth living. I wonder what he meant ...

I would add that it was told like we were watching a "what happened previously in KotOR:TSL" ... PS I thought Cathari's plot synopsis was sooo good it needed cpr! :cool:

Ion Storm (male and female). Then to avoid confusion on later games I use the random function.

grphiw, you have the same location as Darth Flatus ...

Ah, the only power greater than evil self-interest: teenage lust!

Yeah, I think the calculation is all the energy produced by our sun for a few minutes just to power the transporter: that's a lot of juice! Other impracticalities are the focusing mechanism: obviously Heisenberg's Uncertainty makes it very difficult with any modern technology, however there is a possibility of using quantum "twin particles" and identifying one twin from each pair ... of course that means you have to create a pair of quantum particles for each existing single one, then use the copy particles to work out the map of particles, then convert and send the other particles to the target site (not overloading it with all that energy) and then re-create the creature using the map ... and the map would probably be larger than the beam of energised matter, as it would need all the administration data (like location and order and such). Phew. I think I'll walk. Incidentally, I forgot to mention that Gene Roddenberry only threw in teleportation in Star Trek as a device to avoid spending the entire episode landing the space craft and taking off again (remember this was before the Gemini test flights and Apollo Moon landings).

You don't know the POWER of the DARK SIDE! GIVE IN TO YOUR FEELINGS! STRIKE CARTH DOWN!

Where did you get this information from? Soylent Green are pure algae. I eat it for lunch every weekend. Man, if I wouldn't know better you'd just have spoiled my appetite... :ph34r: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It'sokay, they clean them up first. " (And I'm not so sure about Soylent Red and Blue ...)

Yes.

I wanna play. Can we play by email?

How do you define "evil"? Is it purely self-interest, or is it willful hurting of others for no gain, or something else ...?

... When will it be finished? " (Y'know, the whole series, from part I - XXCVII?) Also, what were you doing here? "

It's not uncommon for japanese adolescents to whip out and read some hentai on buses and trains, so... Of course now, when you hear the screams of cartoon virgins begging tentacles to stop what they're doing, you get to know what kind of hentai they're playing. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> "Oh, no -- Chief, we've got a maniac on the loose and he's threatened to kill any Japanese school children he can find! What will we do?" "It's okay, detective: I have a plan. Listen to the virgin screams for the tentacles to stop ..."

chocoloate. No, wait vanilla ................. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

You cannot negotiate with a terrorist. Any form of aquiecence to extortion will necessarily grant carte blanche to all future demagogues to use the tactics to gain whatever results they want. The only way to deal with terrorism is to refuse to deal with it. This presents the dilemma of how to netiate a settlement to an intractable conflict (like the centuries of skirmish in Northern Ireland). At some point, negotiation is possible, but it requires the cessation of all use of force and especially terrorism. Until that point, it is a war. And war is ugly. War has few rules, except that the winner is right. (Chemical and biological weapons banned by the Geneva convention? Who has the largest stockpiles of biological weapons? Countries of the former USSR, the US, the UK and China. And they have a LOT, including smallpox, the only virus that humans have ever destroyed.)

I never believed those were real until I saw them. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> "Seeing is believing." I suppose if the authorities put a (camouflaged) CCTV camera on them then it would be a useful "honeypot" security device to attract and mark such deviants for closer observation ...

No producer/developer wants the aggrovation from card-carrying loonies screaming "Death to the purveyors of child abuse!" on their front lawns. It's much better to just avoid the issue entirely. As for sensitive handling, there is a community mod (by Adam Miller, iIrc: Dreamcatcher 3) where the PC has to decide whether to kill a child who has a fatal illness, or give her vampire blood as a "cure". Obviously this is a pivotal moral dilemma. (Is it right to end a life, even if it is suffering, or is it better to curse the little girl to eternal undead?)

Europe has a very long way for such an japanese way of looking at porn. And most likely will never get there or even want to get at that point. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, Europe are still waiting for their first "soiled teenager panties" vending machine. <_<

I agree with your sentiments almost totally. Except that it is not possible to compare the SW RPG classes with D&D, as there just aren't enough types. D&D has two types of magic: arcane (magic users, illusionists and sorcerors) and divine (clerics, druids and high level paladins/blackgurards and anti-/rangers). SW KotOR has Jedi/Sith, which are basically the equivalent of the paladin/blackguard classes. (All Jedi and Sith can wield a lightsaber as well as any soldier / fighter can wield a sword). So you aren't going to find as much satisfaction in the KotOR games (we haven't even touched on the Thief / Assassin and Monk classes, let alone prestige classes like Shadowdancer, Dragon Disciple or Necromancer). Still, limited classes can still provide good RPG environments: look at Deus Ex.

Bao-Dur was a very useful NPC. (Just the voice acting was attrocious.) Hmm, T3, Kreia or HK-47? HK-47 didn't really get any more than a cameo, thanks to the editing. T3 did most of the work (he's the real criminal mastermind in the KotOR universe: cleverly ducking behind the G0-T0 droid when things get too obvious ...) Kreia was by far the deepest and most interesting character in both games.
