What do you guys think? Putting in and taking out implants sure sounds pretty painful in KOTOR.

I pick the last option.biggrinumbrella1.gif

Just because you're a bit thinner than your even fatter mum it doesn't mean you're in excellent physical shape, if you could fit through the door and view the normal people you'd notice that cheeseburger boy. Squid suck.

I know we are short on convo choices at the mo but sheesh IS THIS THE BEST WE CAN COME UP WITH PEOPLE <_<

Please stay on topic. Thank you.

Never assume malice when stupidity is to blame.

Thank you.

 

Anyhow, who here who played KOTOR avoided the implant feat because it seemed painful to your character?

Not me since it was that quick and easy as changing your boxer shorts, you are thinking in our reality terms, in the SW universe it wouldnt involve surgery at all more than likely :)

I assumed that you had a jack already in your head to allow the different implants. But maybe I read/play too much cyberpunk.

Presumably gaining the three implant feats involves surgery (to have the first port fitted and then the two improvements), then switching implants just involves unplugging the little device from behind your ear (or something) and then plugging in the new one?

 

Bit like that chip attached to the Headmaster in Remembrance of the Daleks. Well, maybe. OK, that reference was rather obscure and irrelevant but I thought the thread had a silliness level to be maintained :)

Damn, got there before me :)

I'd think they'd simply plug in some where, perhapse attatch to the skin or something. Implant Surgery isn't something u do on the run.

i chose the latter

To interface with the brain as it would appear most implants do in KOTOR, they would have to have an extremely low density so as not to damage the existing brain tissue.

IMO the implant things you see is just the packet the implant comes in and they are a very fine fibrous mesh that has low enough density to go through the skin, and rests in the brain to interface with the existing tissue.

No more Scoundrel? You mean Scout, right?

 

And... Get a life.

Curious about the subraces in Pillars of Eternity? Check out 

Hehe, the Cursed gender changing implant.

No more Scoundrel?  You mean Scout, right?

 

And...  Get a life.

 

I was confused about that, too. You mean Scout. Not scoundrel. And that second option is gross.

Eddo loves the poll option....

 

I picked the last one because the second option was kinda weird and it sounds like that is something Eddo might have experienced because who can think of something like that?

why do you all think that to have an implant, means that it has to be on you head?

 

i mean the constitution implant certainly wont be on your head coz there it would be useless. A much better place to have an implant would be you shoulder or some place like that. Those places are close enough to your spine in order to make direct connections with ur brain.

 

besides have u ever seen the implant on your character's head?

Have you ever seen it on their shoulder? :(

Its all part of growing up.

I thought the inplants sounded scary, I mean you had to get separate feats to use them... Which probably meant you need training to use them right, in my first game I didn't use them because I thought they would get hit by an enemy or something stupid like that.

 

But now I use them every time I play KotOR.

 

:)

 

;)

They were usefull, but now that in TSL we have no scout class it may not be worth spending 3 feats to aquire the use of the good ones.

Scary thought: An intelligent topic ...,.... somewhere on this forum! :blink:

Yeah, without starting as scout spending 3 feats on implants sounded good at first but I dunno now. 3 feats for what was the best one? Dexterity +5?
