I don't know about the developers, but it is clear to me how organised the project is; the update is beautiful in its simplicity and efficacy. Well done! I had a small question: when you say that after the 60% of work completed so far on the second level (I assume droid planet) and the rest needs to be scripted, how will this be done? Obviously you can't add any dialogue, so I guess you are just adding some hostile NPCs to the map for the PC to kill. Is that correct? (I'm just curious.) (Geez, and here I was thinking you guys were working from Los Angeles ... if I had known you had all flown out to the island of Fagatogo in American Samoa then I would have volunteered, too.) :D

I think we have some McBain fans in the audience .... "Oh Maria, my powerful heart is breaking!..."

Ah, very interesting. Thanks! I didn't know that. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, but I did like the cartoon, as well. Saturday morning, early 1980s. :D

I'm your Huckleberry. (After a fire/plasma/molten attack) "Let off some steam" (To the crew back on the Hawk after pushing an opponent to their death down one of those convenient gaps; alternative dialogue for Darth Vader when updating the Emperor after the end of ESB) "I let him go." "

Interesting. I thought the concept of Kreia -- was a good idea. I agree the execution of just about every theme, leit-motif, character sketch and plot device was botched. This rendering a very good game foundation into a series of fight scenes, with a misguidedly- and poorly-overpowered PC, interspersed between NPCs mumbling philoso-babble in order to guide the oilslick-deep-plot to its next critical point. I did think some of the battles were very good, especially the second trip to Dxun and Onderon. (There we go, I started and ended with a positive point!)

Live Long and Prosper ... er, I mean: Die quick and painfully! :cool:

Interestingly, Schmoo first appeared in 1948 ... (no, I'm not that old!) and the character is meant to be a force of total goodness and love (sound familiar?). The intrinsic paradox is that the Schmoon (singular Schmoo, plural Schmoon) actually cause the human society -- that they wish to help -- to break down. People went nuts for Scmoo paraphenalia (a bit like SW )

I would recommend reading the exhaustive (and exhausting!) commetary on the issues of the endgame that have been posted in the Spoilers forum. I have a link to Saberist's post (which has some cracking themes explained therein), but the whole discussion is well worth reading to help decide how to handle characters and their relative significance to the story's elements.

It looks like one of those little pigmy zombies in "The Mummy Returns", or even better, there was a little humonculous in the 1985 Stephen King film version of some of his short stories, called Cat's Eye... Little things can be quite frightening ...

As difficult as it is to beat this one, how about: "That's the last mistake you'll ever make"

Well, I feel for your pain, but I happend to think NwN was/is a good engine. I would recommend to you the Community mods, especially the Hall of Fame members. I also think you are being a bit harsh on Bioware; it is not their fault that after their engine was released no-one else has stepped up to the challenge and produced anything similar. You can't expect Bioware to create teo competing engines! I think NwN 2 will again set the standard, and I hope, for all our sakes, that it is good enough to impress you(!). :cool:

Ah, then it is in the hands of the Empire! I wonder what Darth Soft's plans are? "

The interface would be beyond the Xbox.

Well, I suppose lusting after a totally different game from a different developer makes a nice addition to all the complaints about K2 and pining for K3 on the Obsidian boards...

I like the Herculoids. I used to watch them when I was little. (They were on the Space Ghost show.) :cool: PS I think the word you are looking for is plagiaristic. "

Just watch this space.

Me too. I lost Atton. I gained an army of Iridonians. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They all go to a nice tailor, though. "

Siding with Kreia the apparition finally disappears after the third time. I've been trying to figure out which is the 'correct' response, according to what this apparition was supposed to 'test'. I'm thinking maybe there isn't a correct response, only that you side with someone, or realize that 'apathy IS death'. Exile turned away from getting involved with people, too. That's the only thing I can come up with. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There is no "correct" response to a moral dilemma. And, as far as K2 is concerned, there are no consequences for your choice outside the immediate battle. I would have liked this to have an impact on the ending of the game in some way ... use this vital information about who you trust and how you resolve disputes to bury the audience deeper into the game. Light Side points. Pah. It should affect the Jedi Council confrontation and Kreia's attitude towards the PC, at the very least.

You're mad. Go back and re-install it and play again as a proper Jedi.

I've had as few as three levels before re-awakening my Force Sensitivity ... and I read some-one else had made it with only two levels ... crazy fools! Don't they know the fate of the Galaxy hangs in the balance?

I'd like that ,tho MCA could still do it all <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Other: Aurora and her Magnificent team (w00t)

Sillly rabbit, forums are for kids. And anyway, the rabbit isn't hiding in your last post, he's gone to Washington with Mr Smith, for a wonderful life. Now, back to the topic ... After a perusal of your site, Aurora, I am: 1. impressed with your professionalism, dedication and achievements, 2. stunned that so much of the game is missing. Without belittling your efforts (which are obviously heroic under the circumstances) I cannot understand how so many little scenes were not included in the game. (Effort for Obsidian, who had all the resources in place, would have been significantly less than that which you have had to make: pciking up the pieces, re-discovering what was the original story line -- detective-like -- and then designing, and then splicing sound and coding ...) A lot of the side quests just end. The multiple ends are pruned into one. If I had to guess I would say that a lot of the work was cancelled from the top, probably because of delay/critical development path issues (maybe it took longer than expected to code the new powers, or similar; maybe the deadline was brought forward). Warmest regards for your (team's) efforts.

Couldn't agree more. But it still is an exploit. (If you exploit it, you must be in really bad shape -- punching above your weight or running around Taris without levelling up in order to have more Jedi levels before the level 20 cap ... oh, that's another exploit, isn't it? )

I think the genre you are looking for is FPS ... try Doom3 or even the Quake series. KotOR is a Role Playing Game. There's a good lad. "

I must say you present a persuassive argument. At least Calo was the biggest of the minor cast of villians ... he got to come back for a rematch.
