[KOTOR2: Hottest Male Character]

Yeah there are girls that play video games (points to self) might I direct you to a site called LadiesofNeverwinter.com. :cool:

 

Anyway I voted for Bao-dur.

[Did You Like Most Of The Planets In Kotor II?]

Peragus: Wonderfully eerie and Kreia was not helping. I liked having to piece everything together from the holo-records.

 

Citadel Station: the only planet/place that I did not like. I personally thought it boring except one side quest (High Stakes). Fortunately it wasn't very long.

 

Telos: I loved this planet. It was just gorgeous like a mixture of Dantooine and the Unknown World.

 

Dantooine: Great place to get lightsaber crystals, but looks pretty much the same.

 

Nar Shaddaa: By far my favorite planet. So much to do and if you get the airspeeder working it flows so much easier.

 

Dxun: I loved the rain effects in the Jungle.

 

Onderon: Was okaym but it really wasn't anything to get excited about.

 

Korriban: Wasn't much different from the first time though I did like the little bits of history the Kriea gives you about the tombs.

 

Malachor V- Really creepy. I loved it.

[Congratulations on Screwing it up Obsidian]

What experience? Playing the Harry Potter game? Nope I don't think too many people here would play that game

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Did you even read what I wrote? I meant (which I thought was clear in my post) that there might be viruses on people's PCs and that is what is causing the problem. The viruses I had on my PC kept crashing my games (and yes I play Harry Potter games I feel sorry for you if you think that is <begin sarcasm> such a horrible crime<end sarcasm>) It also eventually froze up my entire computer to the poinst that I had to take it down to the shop to fix. Maybe you should try to help people instead of posting useless drivel that I have seen in your posts in the short time I have been on this forum. :angry:

[Congratulations on Screwing it up Obsidian]

I thougt of something last night, a few months ago my computer caught a virus (several viruses actually) which caused it to kick me out of programs, especially my Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets game. I was just thinking that perhaps the people who are having so many problems with K2 crashing could be having a similar experience? <_<

[Bao Dur]

You need to take Bao-dur with you in order to get ingfluence with him as it cannot be done through most conversations.

[Did I get something wrong? G0T0 vs. Remote]

He didn't destory the remote he just reprogramed it. If you notice it doesn't blow up it just falls to the ground.

[nar shadda questions]

Just use the the intimidate line that says if they want a fight to get on with they attack you if you fail it. You don't get an alignment shift either.

 

About the swoop droid don't use the [lie] option. That's what get you the darkside points.

 

And about the scientist and the droid this plays into something else later in the game don't worry about it.

[What the heck with PC implants?]

This is the one thing that I really really hated about K2 was that they took away the Implant feats. I usually play scoundrel/Consulars in K1 so I never gave my characters any constitution and put those points into wisdom or dexterity where is would be of some use know however I have to waste points in constution.

[Congratulations on Screwing it up Obsidian]

Well all of the quests above are finishable you just have to know how to go about it or finish them before you do other things.

[Congratulations on Screwing it up Obsidian]

I never even figured out how to finish that quest and it's not in the Prima guide either...

[Congratulations on Screwing it up Obsidian]

-Random crashes (that never happened in the original)

My PC has crashed only once and I am almost finished with the game. You can take this as it is, but K1 and both HotU do this to me as well. Usually when I've been playing for a long time.

-Voice-over dialogue sequences being skipped/don't display properly at times

I've had this problem in K1 several times, as well. Especially on the Ebon Hawk when talking to Bastila.

 

-Horrible framerate at times

If I've played the game for too long both in K1 and K2 I've had frame rate problems. There are however serious framerate problems on the Xbox, but that may be because my Xbox is a referb.

-Many spelling errors/typos in dialogue

The only dialogue errors I have observed is that NPCs keep referring to Revan as "he" when I had specifically said that Revan was female.

-Trained Feats reseting and forever lost after training them (flurry mastery, for example)

This I have never see, though that does not mean you have not. I take it back I have had this problem but not in K2 and only with Carth and Canderous' feats in K1. I'm not sure it actually happened but I was positive that I gave either of them a feat and then had to give it them again. But I can't prove that it happened so...

-MANY broken side quests (especially on Dantooine)

There are four sidequest that I know can not be completed after completing other quests. TSF bounties: criminals (Citadel Station/Telos), Ghosts to Rest, Cave Crawling(Dantooine) and Vogga the Hutt (Nar Shaddaa). <_<

 

While I agree that more testing would have resulted in a better game, the game on the whole (to me at least, I can not speak for everyone obviously) is not that bad.

[Filling in the plot holes at the end...]

1) Darth Nihilis.  His point in the story was... what?  Sure I *thought* he was the new Lord of the Sith, or something similar, which was causing all this trouble.  When you run into him, he is nothing.  What he is, why he is doing what he is, his background with Visas (and her background with him)... never explained.  He just ends up being nothing other then one more person I have to kill.

If you'll notice he tries to drain the PC of the Force or life force which ever you wish to call it, during the battle which exhausts him. That is why he is so easy to kill. If you talk to Visas enough she says that when her master killed everything on Katarr, her homeplanet, she was the only one left alive. That is why he didn't kill her. It's obvious to me that he was using her to find force sensitives for him to feed off of with her special gifts. Also Nihilis is a failed experiment of Kriea's I think perhaps either he was at Malachor and the same thing happened to him that happened to the Exile or Kriea attempted to recreate what happened to the exile but failed.

 

2) Darth Sion.  Led to believe he is in charge of a different sect of Sith.  See him, along with Nihilis, defeat Kreia in a cut scene and watch him cut off her hand.  Only to suddenly be Kreia's student again... what!?

Another of Kriea's failures in the fact that he didn't kill her not once but twice. The reason... he wants to be excepted by Kriea and has failed because he could not kill her. So he falls back into the hole of being her student instead of becoming the master.

 

3) Atris.  I spoke with Atris at the end, getting a dialog option to the effect of "You have fallen to the Dark Side, you must realize that" -- when I myself haven't realized that.  We see (or hear about) her 4 times.  (1) at the beginning, no indication she has fallen.  (2) Kreia talks about her, with no indication she has fallen or is heading down that path.  (3) The second time we see her, *bam* we suddenly know she has somehow fallen.  (4) At the end when Kreia talks about having to stop Atris' teachings... huh? ...exactly what teachings are these?

 

Atris... when you first meet her she assumes you are there to kiss her butt and beg for forgiveness. She says she is the last of the Jedi when she knows very well that Vrook, Kavar and company are still alive. Atris also is the one that leaked your name to galaxy that you were the "last" of the Jedi. When you talk to HK-50 at the beginning of the game he mentions that it was him that told everyone that you were a Jedi and had been in Exile. There is a line there that the PC can use that says that that information would not be in the coreward databases but only in the Jedi archives and who is the mistress of the Archives? Atris. In the final battle with Atris she says that she released your name to the public so that you would lure the Sith out of hiding so she could kill them so that she could be the hero of the galaxy this time not you or Revan. Also I have my suspicions that it was Atris that lured Nihilus to Katarr not just the Jedi there. If you tell any of the Jedi Masters that Atris is on Telos they all say they thought she had gone to Katarr.

 

4) Your shipmates on Malachor V. 

-- Boa-Dur is implied to be dead, based on how I saw it.  Is he, is he not?  He tells Remote to activate some big bomb thing that I never remember hearing about.  They the GO-?? driod flies in and talk about preventing the worlds destruction.  The story is left at that.  Nothing more.

Actually no. Bao-Dur says if your seeing this we've returned to Malachor V. And askes the remote to activate the mass shadow generator. Obviously you did not gain enough influence with Bao-Dur or did not train him as a Jedi because he tells you he created what destroyed Malachor and that the exile gave to order to use it. As for Go-To and Remote if the Mass shadow generator blow the planet then Remote overroad Go-To reprogramming.

-- Mira.  Kreia seems to indicate that she is a threat to her plans... first, *what plans* and second, all she does if fight Hanharr and it is left at that.  Huh!?

-- I guess I just have to take Kreia's word that everything turns out a-okay for all the rest.

Okay this I have no clue about. The only thing I can think is that she followed me at least to the door and then realized this was out of her league and went back to the Ebon Hawk.

 

5) The Eban Hawk.  Falls into a pit, and suddenly rises from one to save me.  Ya... okay, very open ended but I'll live with it.

This I think was to show you the Ebon Hawk managed the get free of that crevice it was wedged in.

 

6) The Jedi Masters.  So I'm exiled because I lost the connection with the Force because the Jedi Masters see fear some huge disconnect in the Force.  I go through all this work to find them all, to "combat the Sith threat", only to have them judge me again and strip my power again?

It's proof of how arrogant the Jedi Masters are and it's a betrayal. Which is a very obvious theme through out this game. Kreia was betrayed by Sion and Nihilus. Atton betrayed the republic by joining with Revan and Malak after the Mandalorian wars, etc. They do not fully understand what happened to the Exile and instead of helping him/her reconnect fully to the Force and understand what happened instead the kick you out a second time. Kriea says you brings truth and they condemn it. They fear you because you lived without the Force which they believe is impossible.

 

7) The Ending.  I have a choice to "follow Revan", "return to exile" or go back to my friends (or something).  None of which have any effect on the ending (I tried them all).  Kreia talks about the "greater Sith threat" that Revan discovered and went off to fight -- aside from telling me why I can't talk to Reven in KotOR II, what does this accomplish?  No matter what option is choosen, the ending is that of the Eban Hawk flying off alone into a nebula.  How bloody anti-climatic... I got to see a fleet destroyed, the Star Forge destroyed and I got a medal in KotOR I.  I get to see myself fly into a nebula for KotOR II.

Canderous says that the Sith came to the Mandalorians with an offer to fight a worthy enemy in a battle that would be remembered for ever. These were not Revan and Malak's Sith were talking about here these are the real Sith. Revan and Malak were just Jedi who followed the Sith path. Well no matter what you choose you have to leave Malachor V, don't you?

 

Kreia... and the twisted thing at the end I think was supposed to be the plot...  I'm just lost here.  So, was all this about Kreia just getting the chance to kill everyone who crossed her?  Wasn't she trying to create some huge void in the force?  Wasn't I bonded to her, and very uncertain about the effect he death would have (backed up by Atris' hint that Kreia is willing to kill herself to kill me to accomplish her goals)?  I seemed to get the impression, eventually, that I was somehow the key to unraveling the Force... and then the story just ends up pittering out, leaving that point behind.

Kriea talks constantly of manipulation and betrayal. She despises the Force and would like to see it's end. Which is what she sees in the Exile. However, along the way she sees that you have the potential to be greater than her first (who I assume she means Revan). As to the force bond ask anyone, Vrook, Kavar, Disciple and they will tell you that they have never, ever heard of a force bond being lethal. I have also heard that bonds end with some act of betrayal. Which Kriea betrayed you did she not? And I would believe everything that Kreia told Atris because Kreia is a manipulative old witch. It could be she told Atris all those thing just to get you to follow her to Malachor V.

 

I'm lost.  The point of KotOR II seems to be a chance to see what a few folks from KotOR I are doing 10 years, see some of the effects the war had, with a bunch of quests and bad people to kill in order to make it last 40 hours.

 

What exactly did I just save the galaxy from?

You tried to save the galaxy but for once failed.
