Ok, this is going too far. Why not remove swoop bikes althogheter ?!? This is KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC, i want to swing my light saber and save the universe, i don't care for swoop races. It's a retarded idea originated by the terrible prequels to boot, enought already, the devs have FAR more important things to worry about, and i remind you that Lucas Art didn't exactly gave them an eternity to make this game. At contrary, they are on a very short leash, would you really want them to waist time on a swoop bike Add On ?!? Are you out of your mind. ?!?

How old, 1st grade ?!?

^ A few points. First of all, all though this is a RPG, Star Wars comes first, and there's no way around that. Sadly enought, Star Wars was not developed with balance in mind. Jedi are supposed to be the all end of powerful characters, and that's the way it's supposed to be. The fact is, an RPG is not about balance of power, it's about usefulness. A fighter is always more powerful then a thief, but if you design a campain where thievery is just as needed as combat prowess, the fighter ain't going anywhere without a rouge in his party. If we establish that the Jedi is the number one powerhouse class, then you need to base all other classes on something besides combat. Make scoundrels more skillfull, adjut scouts to be more unique, make soldiers have unique abilities not accessable by Jedi. Balance the game in order to make skills much more needed, this way the player will have to balance his party beetween at least one powerhouse characters plus 2 skill based characters, this would balance the challenge rating of the game somewhat. Next, increase the power of ranged weapons. A good way to do this is by giving a more important role to personal force shields. A blaster bolt should kill anybody in one hit, as shown in the movies. To counter this, armor may offer some defence, whereas a shield may give complete protection for a certain amout of energy hit points. What's more, a blaster bolt will be much more effective against a force shield then a light saber, whereas the latter will be more effective against non shielded opponents. And of course, Jedi CAN'T use shields, too much interference with that light saber. And what happend to those wonderful shielded droids we see in the movies ?!? Those shileds seemed invulnerable to light sabers and blast bolds alike, unless of course, somebody in your party discharge an EMP granade. And what to talk about those pesky rancors ?!? They are rather lovable, shouldn't there be more of those things around ?!? And now that i think of it, why can't the Sith employ more interesting weapons ?!? This is sci-fi after all, where are all the stun guns ?!? Why don't they use projectile weapons against Jedi ?!? Here's another idea, make soldiers more efficient with granades, armors and blaster weapons. Frankly, i could go on forever.

You found that entartaining ?!? I pity you...

If you are 15, sure...

No my friend, it's the hollywood syndrome and their failure to portray strong female characters without having to use the old 'b*tch on a power trip' routine. Such boring cliches are Bioware's trademark. What you think is great characterization is just your prepubescent mind getting confused on her polygonal boobs...

I agree. Plus, Bastila was a snobby b*tch to boot.

Try the 2 millions of Diablo 2 preorders...

No he didn't. He made about 10% and took credit for the rest...

It's prepubescent talk. Ironically, George Lucas is making millions with the very same idiom...

So it was Lucas who came out with this idiotic characterization of the Sith. Figures...

Jedi Knight is still one of the best FPS i ever played. Outcast improved on several issues, but the original was still vastly supirior in most areas, and that game was 5 years older. I liked Oucstat, but Raven disappointed me there...

Looks arounds, sees all the retarded questions, polls, suggestions and obsbure and irrilevant personal feuds posts. Yep, i think this board already IS like Bio's...

They need to make 2 separate forums for Sith lords, one for the PC version, one for the Xbox version. All the 11 years old wussies will eventually migrade all their questions, polls, suggestions and their obscure and irrilevant feuds over there. Works quite well on Bioware's board, at least the few times i went there...

Just another failed Troll who's mother we wish had medical plans that included abortion...

Yep, the setting simply doesn't led itself all too well for a combat RPG.

What white get up ?!? Are you confusing her with the yet to be announced silver haired girl from the concept art ?!?

Somebody nuke that sig...

So, does every minor critisism of KOTOR translates into bashing Bioware ?!? What are you, a fanboy ?!?

Before Bioware approached Star Wars and the Xbox, we had it all...

The best at what ?!? Bad writing and puerile plots ?!? i already said, for those with a slow computer, or the whole "i dont wanna pay 20 bucks for something i already bought" Huh ?!? Why, are all PC RPGs heavy on hardware like first person shooters and do they all require monthly fees ?!? What the heck are you talking about ?!?

The best at what ?!? Bad writing and puerile plots ?!?

*Raises his hand!* Alone amongst the billions, you just can't win.

But then again, they are supposed to be. You can't be seriously complaining about Jedi being too powerful, i don't think Lucas was thinking about some geeky table game when he was making Star Wars. Jedi are not the problem, Jedi as playable characters are. They are like Dragons in D&D, you can't be giving the player so much power, but then again, who would want to play a Star Wars RPG without Jedi ?!?
