To what purpose? If someone doesn't want to hear the NPC's sob story ...BOOOHOOOOO... *GASP*.... then why should they have to hear it? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Purpose? Why would anyone want to fight alongside you or help you in any way except as paid mercenaries or other such tributes unless you are involved? Why would they even stick around or acknowledge you as leader unless they were totally lame? Listen? Why listen, If you dont want to get involved, pay them, ditch them or kill them. Should be a price, imo. If they are just in as a designer choice to make it easier for you, I expect all manner of hints popping up along the way "Click this if you wanna..." and helping hands and pointers...sheesh. Maybe on novice mode, sure, then please add normal, hard and impossible too for people that want to RP the RPG's, they way they were meant, and not just a hack-fest.

That sounds lame, like they are just puppets. You can play with them, dress them, feed them, etc. like little sims or whatever people do with those or forget about them, but still enjoy their 'company' and they will 'gladly' follow. Should be a requirement. Either you solo or you participate to some extend with the 'other' business. At least if you don't do that, they should suck more than they would if you actually did involve..immerse yourself into the game. Not quite sure if #8 actually does the opposite, 'rewards' is a loose concept.

I wish they would just cancel that XBox version or get it out as fast as possible so Obsidian can start to focus fully and undivided about making the PC version even greater.

I didnt really notice any of these rant threads or the moderating, but since it's sort of an encouraged to-do thing now I guess I should add a comment about it. I think it's odd that a new company such as Obsidian that repetitively use credentials and references to award-winning PC games such as Fallout, Baldurs Gate, Planescape:Torment, Icewind Dale and talks about more than 40 years of combined gaming experience should pick a CONSOLE game edition as their first achievement. Interplay had their share of problems, allright, and a lot people were saddened when they more or less turned their back on the PC gamers, shut down BiS and CONSOLEs got top-priority. Maybe the Ex-BiS devs that now constitutes Obsidian took a blow to the head in the same round and switched sides. At least they didnt forgot about us PC-gamers completely - even though it's gonna take them 3 months to remember (Feb, 2005.) <_< . Thank you.

When Revan was turning DS in the beginning he went to all the starmaps on his quest to find the Starforge after his first visit to the starmap on Tattoine with Malak. When he came to Korriban he would have been corrupted allready.

Modern vampire movies are really amazing. Gone are the bat wings, coffins and the bug eating minions. The magic and the mystery is now replaced by the latest and the greatest high tech weaponry. When I read through the above I had Blade and Underworld mixed up for a time. Funny how these immortals seems to be very shortlived creatures bend on their own destruction with superpowers to ensure the max action-bang for the buck. No need to tire us with purpose, overly complexity or depth. Very commendable indeed.

It would certainly add a point to his presence, which I missed entirely.

Who's gonna care but here is my ugly muck shots. The bearded one to the right is a week old... And the other to the left contain my avatar in a slightly less modified version...

Well, all of those people in your little party are also 'People that you've met' and they do actually react to the things you do, personally regarding their own side quests, some people you meet and generally regarding your LS/DS shifts and the Bastila rescue. Some of the loyalty checks from a DS perspective does have some extreme results on your little team and the fate of the galaxy, unfortunately it doesnt spread beyond each area or unto non-team members. And it is quite superfical... Better stop before I start repeating my previous post.

...as little as possible, unless they are ugly of course, but then all they need to wear a bag over their faces...seriously: Think those SF robes were really awfull. Especially the LS, they just looked so wooly ...fuzzy...like robes for a monk on a polar expedition...way to impractical.

Sure, but I wanna see some viking faces too, with long curly red beards and horns, might attract some nordic players and make me feel at home... Honestly, No.

Well, NOT exactly *agree*...but close, howeer You are recognised on Taris by the crowd in the bar after your duels and the rumour of your fight vs. Bendiak is recognized by at least one shopkeeper. Of course when Taris is destroyed so is your track record apparently...guess they don't have or use inter-planar-net in this galaxy - anywhere. However, all of those cases where you manage to pinpoint the Sith as the great villain on Manaan should at least remove them from the streets or otherwise make their visible number dwindle, as they are being scorned or whatever, but they don't, do they(?). Think I've blown about 50 sith fighters out of space, before hyper-jump, but there's no renown or combat rating involved. A bit lame, but it's apparently just a mini-game like everything else that isn't really story related. No elite Pazaak competitions f.x. and no entanglement with the story. If you go to Korriban after your Revan revelation there are a few nice twists, but it doesnt really make any visible lasting effect i.e. you don't get to lord the academy or see anything really evolve.

Bastila was part of the re-programming of Revan's mind. The way I see it is: the only one that was fooled was Revan. As DS Bastila was just as much a groveling pawn as she was LS, apprentice all the way, but her sex appeal was greater as DS I think (hehe) even though DS and good physical appearances are mutually exclusive apparently...given time. Yuthura Ban was really pathetic too, but with a dark and sexy voice. I start to see a pattern here...as I choose Lashowe.

Bugs are annoying, but it doesnt subtract from the quality of the game in itself, imho. BioWare did a very good job with KotOR Whining again now? That's ok, with me I am too lazy to dig up old post to see if there is anything to add. I just go with 'View New Posts'. We should never tire of voicing our opinions, it would be the downfall of democracy if we did that.

Don't really know much about rom-keyboards, I prefer synth's and making my own sound. But, it really depends on what you are going to use it for. It's a proffessional keyboard. Saw a page if you are interested: Kurzweil - User Reviews it has all the other models as well.

I think the Dantoine experience is just as much as I wanna know about Jedi Masters. Next game please.

Well...building a game upon the world of the Rakata sounds more like it would be appealing as mainly a strategy game. However, I wouldnt mind seeing the first human whether Jedi or not to pick up on the force and discovering the dark side and evolve it...KotOR style.

This thread really seems to be a huge chunk of relatively few questions and a lot of chat. Question for devs: Do you really read all this or would you prefer that people create individual threads for the questions they have?

Try the "Brown Noser" tag instead, think it might work.

Agree. But I think I'd like to see some nasty side affect or class or lvl restrictions on all the

The same blunders with Lightsaber colors for Jolee (only) appear on the website as well, by the way, hehe...but if you look at the few screenshot from the game in the manual you'll notice that they at least got the colors right. ...and blue being the color of Jedi Guardians...as Juhani have after her return from the DS.

Relativity. By adjusting the difficulty ratio to your own level. No matter how much xp you get you will never have the feeling you are overpowering unless that was the initial balance. But some people actually like to feel that all their work made them

Oh but we do, they are just hidden. Ever notice how sometimes your posts are deleted and moved and you encounter strange errors, well that's 'Jinxed' for you...

Problems.

(K1 = KotOR, K2 = KotOR II) Think Arcanum had some kind of background option, but I cant quite remember if they were actually kinda like Traits in Fallout or less. But as well as the tribal background in Fallout had some RP smalltalk and even a sense of pride build-in I guess the same could go for K2. It has allready been mentioned somewhere that the PC (mainchar) once followed Revan, tho I am still unsure when...didnt dig that deep, so pardon me if I jump to conlusion vs. know-all. Was it in the beginning when Revan was as pure as newly fallen snow, was it when Revan was turning towards the DS or was it when Revan was an amnesiac. Part of the background could answer that. But that might as well be part of those checkpoints the story will give you to adapt the story. If K2 moves in the same pattern as K1, background checks could be like in K1 partially based on your non-jedi class Soldier, Scout & Scoundrel...Scoundrel: where did you smuggle and what did you smuggle...could have a little RP impact on being accepted among the other dubious NPC in a 'he's a friend' sort of way.
