One big annoyance (that, perplexingly is also present in the NwN parent engine) is the role of the Charisma attribute. Now call me old school if you will, but Charisma used to have a direct effect on the PC physical appearance (comeliness, as it was in AD&D). I would like to think that if I have a charisma of 42 that I am not a victim of the ugly stick, and I look better than someone who has a charisma of 8. Oh, and it would be a good idea to cap the bonuses that can be added to a characters attributes, so that it is not possible for a weakling with innate strength of 12 to wear some armour and stuff and end up with strength of 48. That's just silly. (Same with adding 1 to BAB every level.) The NwN caps bonuses at +12 (including negatives etc), which seems more sensible. :cool:

Is that forty years before K1 or 40 years before K2?

I'm interested.

Not possible or difficult / unpopular? Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Arthur C. Clarke, "Profiles of The Future", 1961 (Clarke's third law) English physicist & science fiction author (1917 - ) I would be reticent to say it is impossible to create a lightsaber. After all, one hudred years ago a television was not even a dream for John Logie Baird, and now we are on the brink of conductive plastic (!) screens that roll up like a roman blind. That George Lucas should recognise the delegated authority of his technical designers, such as Edlund, rather than making simplistic ex-cathedra pronouncements that make him look like a simpleton? " True you don't have to vapourise a planet to destroy it, but that certainly appears to be what happens to Alderan (no debris of any significant size after the explosion). And I think part of what these people are doing (

And that is the saddest truth; the game suffered from a final effort that would have propelled this game from the ordinary (moments of innovative brilliance marred by basic competency failures) to the superlative (groundbreaking design without flaws). Agreed, but T3 could fix the Hawk -- presumeably there is a plethora of repair parts on M5. I agree because the remote replaces Bao as a playable character, this explains his apparent omission from the save game file (which is only circumstantial evidence of his death). The biggest mystery is what happened to the Exile to lead the others to think she died. Maybe she fell out of/ejected from the ship before it crashed? :D

Are they standing inside a giant speaker? And why does all Japanese anima/manga look like pron? I guess if you can be bothered to spend that long creating 240 images per second, you probably want to look at something good. Obviously another career path not open to females, yet. " So is there a picture of the KOS-MOS ?

Yep, I hear ya. And what's up with the bronze crystal? Does hat mean there are gold and platinum crystals, too? Now that's a good idea (the multi-coloured lightsaber, not the spice ), a sort of Pink Floyd Dark-Side-of-the-Moon-type newtonian refrative crystal.

... and a black lightsaber beam.

Or Revan had just aquired an interest in a Czerka mask-factory, and was trying to start a mask-wearing fad amongst the Jedi so that it would prove profitable.

More information? Which movies are you referring to? Xbox movies were at 640x480. These have been / will be upgraded in the patch for PC (not sure how big, I haven't checked.)

Yeah your probably right bur I was trying to make a point: You can't measure SW ships <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But you can, because people have created them based on real ships, so it is quite acceptable and reasonable to extrapolate the original designs and eventual results to acertain "real" (read: virtual) measurements. I don't know about you, but I have a lot of difficulty with any fiction that is not based on reality: the suspension of disbelief is critical, and it depends on some sort of cross-over between our reality and the imaginary virtual world. Otherwise, you are correct, we might as well discuss how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. But as this forum is about SW, then we shall discuss, amongst other things, the size of capital ships in SW.

Art allows the artist to speak through the medium to the audience. And a picture is worth a thousand words.

It really does cast the game in a harsh daylight to see what the end could have been. Instead, we got an end that was so lacking in meaning that I have not had any interest in playing the game again. As Silvershadow said, your summary (even though it might pre-empt the mod! ) actually helps sort the mess into some sort of cogent denouement. I suspect that the Exile would have had to be taken (perhaps miraculously, like a teleport, or similar) from the group for them to think her dead. (Actual death would have had repurcussions on M5 and Kreia, after all, and some of them -- e.g. Visas -- would have known that.) Perhaps she set off first and missed a scheduled communication? Then the team would have to assume she was dead or captured. Perhaps if there was also some big explosion in the general area where she was heading, that might help them to their erroneous decision. Who knows? Probably one of the plot points they hadn't decided on and so it was not scripted yet when the command came to ditch everything not finished. Also it is not clear whether the fights between the competing love interests (Micah-Atton / Visas-Brianna) are fatal for LS, which would have an effect on the end battles.

Of course it is and to quote Coran <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I especially like the interpretive eyes; Kreia is portrayed as a far-seeing individual who is more than capable of looking deep within someone, penetrating beyond their feeble defensive tactics and devouring their naked soul. And the grey hair suits her, too.

Yup Baley-spaming SW since 2005 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Right, so how big do you think the capital ships were? Or, to make it easier: - artistic rationale (e.g. Death Star RotJ c.160km) - scientific rationale (e.g. Death Star RotJ c.900km)

So we can conclusively say that, based on the statistical evidence, males are the weaker gender! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Or that I suck at building them :"> <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Don't confuse the public with multiple conclusions: we need a simple, dumbed down message to summarise any subject, regardless of the inherent complexity.

So we can conclusively say that, based on all the (available) statistical evidence (a huge sample space of two), males are the weaker gender!

Maybe there are Gothics in SW, and it was widely known that Revan had a few friends who dressed in black, used black makeup and wore heavy period costumes...

I meant using the rapid shot (thankyou) feat in conjunction with the repeating blaster.

Oh no! Probably she is still playing catch-up: I see you have been very busy closing down multiple threads over the weekend... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It wasn't all my fault...I almost never spam alone :"> <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I know, you guys probably need an intervention () to help break the pernicious cycle of spamming to prevent continual recidivism. Perhaps just having a SW topic to talk about might be better?

Bingo...and it's better to use that sword with reballence mods :cool: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What was your maximum un-modified?

I wanted a black one.

Oh no! Probably she is still playing catch-up: I see you have been very busy closing down multiple threads over the weekend...

It is the minimum and maximum size range of a planetoid that can sustain an atmosphere, given that it exists in a universe with laws of physics similar to ours. (Which, according to leading opinion -- i.e. Stephen Hawking in A Brief History of Time -- is not only possible but mandatory.) Which you would know if you bothered to read any of the link you are trying to dismiss. If you are trying to support the converse ideology; i.e. that whatever the illiterate artists have written in some of the official fanboy books that accompany the film releases is canon, then you should be aware that the article also quotes from an earlier source: namely an interview with Richard Edlund of Industrial Light & Magic. " The Deathstar, I think, will be a lot more interesting than the one in the first Star Wars

The easiest, most plausible and simplest explanation for starting a character at a lower level is due to a loss of training. For example, if a soldier in the special forces takes a holiday, their training is interrupted and they no longer are fit enough to fight. They would have to re-train to regain the level of fitness they once had. So, like Jolee Bindo, Revan or the Exile might have stopped, or been prevented, from gaining experience and maintaining their level; it is quite reasonable to assume that they would lose some of their ability to fight/wield the force.
