EnderAndrew Posted July 7, 2004 Author Posted July 7, 2004 I updated lots of the new information into the original sticky post. I have to go back and reread all the interviews and magazine articles and search for info there as well. But I'm about to head home. I'm tired.
Product of the Cosmos Posted July 7, 2004 Posted July 7, 2004 Wow, developers answering questions. This is amazing.. lol. Thx for taking the time to answer questions for us. SW fans r probably the most picky irritable bunch and you guys r satisfying.. lol. Kewl. I have a few questions for the devs. Do you think you guys have a very good chance to get the game out B4 or at Feb 2005? If you did major amounts of content for XBL content download. Do you think it would cost downloaders money(I'd pay gladly as long as it is worthwhile content) If a talented developer/programmer opted to work for you guys for free helping make a game like KotORII would you guys let that happen? Thx even if you dont answer the Q's. Can barely wait for the game.

OLD SKOOL WHEELMAN Posted July 7, 2004 Posted July 7, 2004 Yar! I'm going to take a page out of alanschu's book: Having an apprentice is so much cooler than having a master, don't you think Obsidian?

EnderAndrew Posted July 8, 2004 Author Posted July 8, 2004 All the current XBL content merely requires an XBL membership. If you pay for that, the content itself is free. I imagine this will stay the same.
Wraith Posted July 8, 2004 Posted July 8, 2004 I wander what the rating will be I would think t maybe could you guys help me out if you can
John Morgan Posted July 8, 2004 Posted July 8, 2004 I wander what the rating will be I would think t maybe could you guys help me out if you can That's up to the ESRB... we can't *pick* our ratings, but we can aim for one or edit content to obtain a lower one (just like the movies). I can't imagine it will be any different than KOTOR1's Teen rating. ...Don't quote me on that SiO2
Wraith Posted July 8, 2004 Posted July 8, 2004 Yeah I know the esrb has to rate the games I was just saying what level of violence were you aiming for anyway thanks for the reply
Grand Edgemaster Posted July 8, 2004 Posted July 8, 2004 Yeah I know the esrb has to rate the games I was just saying what level of violence were you aiming for anyway thanks for the reply It's long been the custom for Star Wars games to be at the "Teen" rating. They're never more, never less. I don't imagine it'll be different this time.
Renegade Posted July 8, 2004 Posted July 8, 2004 Yeah I know the esrb has to rate the games I was just saying what level of violence were you aiming for anyway thanks for the reply It's long been the custom for Star Wars games to be at the "Teen" rating. They're never more, never less. I don't imagine it'll be different this time. This one should be mature for violence to match the dark setting.

The kittens can be eaten, however. And anyways, why does the PC do such an act? Fnord.

It's been done to death

It's been done to death I guess we could change it to Gizkas and Tachs for originality's sake SiO2
-Master of All- Posted July 10, 2004 Posted July 10, 2004 ^Devs, if you think you're helping to keep these forums on topic, with this twisted, runaway "puppies and kittens" fantasy, you're not. -Master of All- (Self-Appointed Moderator)

And to make sure *this* response isn't considered "OT"... Are there anymore questions? SiO2
Craftsman Posted July 11, 2004 Posted July 11, 2004 How will generla NPC reaction be handled in KOTOR 2? Will they be more responsive? eg running away when you take out weopones?
SilverSun Posted July 11, 2004 Posted July 11, 2004 Heh,not important questions really but some I've been curious about. When you first are able to get a lightsaber will you: Be able to pick what style you ues?(I.E. Dual,staff) Will all the colors in the game be able to be selected? Or just the ones from Knights?
John Morgan Posted July 11, 2004 Posted July 11, 2004 How will generla NPC reaction be handled in KOTOR 2? Will they be more responsive? eg running away when you take out weopones? From what I understand (which is little enough), the AI we inherited from the first game isn't reactionary like that. We would have to script every instance of that event happenning which would take years. This is a good question for Akari. SiO2

Weiser_Cain Posted July 11, 2004 Posted July 11, 2004 Ok here's a question, who do I have to harass to get modding support materials released? Yaw devs, Yaw!!! (
John Morgan Posted July 11, 2004 Posted July 11, 2004 Ok here's a question, who do I have to harass to get modding support materials released? Someone higher-up than me. ...but let me save you the email: "Dear Weiser_Cain, In regards to your request, NO. ~Management" Seriously though, there simply isn't enough time to make the toolset ready for public release. This was addressed somewhere else I believe... SiO2
