Sorry I wasn't directing that totally at you....but rather more of a general statement towards the legions of these types of posts that I see a lot. But I guess that is the nature of hanging out at boards that involve D20 and swords sometimes. I also really enjoy martial arts, but I'm more a Brazilian J/Hapkido type guy. I just find it frustrating to have to have to wade through tons of 'reenactment sword master posts'. Its the nature of the the Net to have certain people make long winded replies on something that they know nothing about I guess. Especially since there is no way that anyone can prove anything on here.

It never ceases to amaze me how many people claim to have indepth knowledge of sword fighting techniques...I especially like those who try to claim that they're masters of a style that only ONE Japanese Samurai in history has ever been known to do decently in warfare. And that kind of the what the real test is, isn't it? Theory is great but unless you have any evidence its just heresy without proof. I love armchair generals. Honestly guys, get a clue. You aren't out there fighting everyday, I doubt that a single one of you has ever been in a fight where you actually USED swords....how is your opinion any different from that of the devs? Oh...and don't try to tell me that you're a master because you're in some kind of 're-enactment' society...all that really says to me that you waste your time in the park sitting out there messing around in mail and plate armor. What you're doing is acting, and how many people take actors as serious references for history? Its like an actor from ER claiming that he can give advice as a doctor based off his experience on the show. Fencing is great, but how many two hand weapon fencers do you see? None? Yeah....Sitting in a room messing with swords is far different than living a life where you know that eventually you're going to be a fight to the death against another person. Its just so different that this conversation is effectively worthless.

It looks like the original bugs from KoToR I came through in the sequel. Anyone else remember the slowdown issues with certain Intel chipsets that would go away if you disabled sound? That is exactly what I have. The game CRAWLS if I try to play with sound, and kind of smoke sends me into a slideshow. Speech stutters and fails consistently. If I disable the sound, the game runs fine...except its a world of deafness. This is a real problem. Here is my DirectX report. Everything works fine and meets the reqs and far surpasses most: Anyone have a fix or also have this problem? Please post. ------------------ System Information ------------------ Time of this report: 2/14/2005, 01:00:24 Machine name: TABLETONE Operating System: Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 1 (2600.xpsp2.030320-1720) Language: English (Regional Setting: English) System Manufacturer: TOSHIBA System Model: Portable PC BIOS: v1.60 Processor: Intel
