maybe this thread isn't for junior mod wannabes.

thanks, but i reckon this thread is for those who aren't self-important little prigs.

in homage to the biggest movie twists of the past 20 years, it will be one of the following: 1. malak's your dad. 2. T4 sees dead people. 3. bastila is really a guy. 4. T4 is keyser soze. 5. the sith lords are just projections of your alternate personalities.

if you wanted to represent it through a game mechanic, this would probably be the best way - like becoming the Slayer in BG2 = a good way to beat tough fights but you start turning evil. what i dislike about that approach is that it makes the slider a guage of roleplaying, it'd be better to implement it through the story itself. problem is, it's hard to create visceral emotions in a CRPG setting, such that you would forgo what you know to be the more sensible course of action because you're overcome by anger, fear, hatred, etc.

it's definitely a good idea to make the DS more tempting, but it's an open question whether it's better to do that by way of a game mechanic (as in d20) or through the story itself. i hate alignment, alignment sliders, and - by extension - LS/DS sliders. at the same time, i recognize that at least Star Wars has a justifiable excuse for a slider (unlike D&D). i don't know that any slider or mechanic can capture the idea of "the lure of the DS" properly & it's probably better to have a story that forces you into situations where it is easy for a good character to turn in desperation or anger to the dark side.

huh, i hope they make KOTOR2 more like the Sims, except with more drug abuse and ritual sacrifice.

you assume wrong. i'm talking about luke and leia's kentucky love in the first two movies.

I agree. Go play GTA if you want senseless violence. f***tard quatches. uh, why not have senseless violence in both? it'd be really good to crash a landspeeder in KOTOR2 and mug passers-by for a fresh vehicle. fights with cops, flashy cars, b00ty: these are things that every game should have. plus GTA has more strippers, celebrity voiceovers, and a much better soundtrack.

it's a shame. if the movies can show dismemberment, charred corpses, chainmail bikinis, and incest, then why can't the games?

because it makes economic sense to release seperate versions for xbox and pc. whereas it makes no economic sense to release seperate adult and kids versions. and, as like meshugger points out, lucasarts prob wouldn't approve anything more explicit than what was in KOTOR1.

i'm proud to say i was one of the first to post on the old KOTOR forums. it kinda went downhill after that.

arguing with Visc about CRPGs is like wrestling a tar baby: tiresome and ultimately pointless.

uh, how was BG2 such a big advance from BG1? or IWD2 a big advance from IWD1? or FO2 a big leap from FO1? graphically and enginewise, all those CRPGs were basically the same as between game 1 and game 2. why expect KOTOR to be any different? edit: uh oh, volourn beat me to it.

i think it's "burning hands" - a LS force power. the sith equivalent is "burns when you pee".

will there be cloaks of elvenkind in KOTOR2?

who's worried?

great jumping jedi! p.s. what's with the polygon count? it looks lower than KOTOR1.

i just hope they have +2 lightsabres this time. and a +5 holy avenger lightsabre for when they introduce the jedi paladin prestige class.

he refused to share his cheesypoofs.

here's the list of names i used: holden mcgroin. that is all.

"prestige" classes - the very name reeks of munchkinism. the problem is, there's no upper limit on the number of the stupid things. if 3e D&D is anything to go by, we'll eventually get to play an epic mystic theurgist windchimer jedi in KOTOR4.

carth was a whiny little bitch. hopefully KOTOR2 will have NPCs who know how to deal already.

feh. coruscant. taris. trantor. bladerunner. mega city one. the fifth element. you seen one futuristic cityscape, you seen em all.

here's hoping or maybe the sith had him stuffed and mounted, and you'll encounter his head on the wall of a sith hunting lodge somewhere.
