TKEON230 Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 One thing that bothered me about KOTOR was the fact that once you started putting on different sorts of head protection it obstructed the view of your face. I know once you started to progress to the different levels of Light and Dark side characters the face would change to reflect that. If you are wearing something, however, the changes aren't visible. I think there should be some way of making the upgrades a little less obvious so we can still see what our character looks like. One implant that comes to mind was the night vision goggles. Those things took up the entire face. What does everyone else think about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victus Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Yea, goggles/masks tend to take up parts of your face so, that's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NInjaPirate Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Deal with it, some people like masks and you don't have to use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderAndrew Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 I thinked the head-gear looked silly in KOTOR. I couldn't take it seriously. I imagined that most of the implants wouldn't be too visible since they are implants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD SKOOL WHEELMAN Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 I don't care because it was optional...but it did look stupid on your PC though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dereth Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 If you wanted to see your character all you had to do was take the mask off for a second. I loved the masks, and I'm hoping for actually helmets, like the mandalorians' helmets, that covers you're whole head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKEON230 Posted June 15, 2004 Author Share Posted June 15, 2004 I guess I was kinda leaning more toward the items that affected gameplay but also appeared on the character. Like I said, the goggles looked just plain silly as they were the size of your entire head. If the item was purely cosmetic, such as the masks, then I wouldn't mind it as much.

Drakron Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 They have to be that way, its how models are set ... no way around it short of replacing the head model when putting some headgear on that is not very feasable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nydas Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 I agree completely that the headgear in KOTOR was often terriblly bulky and silly-looking. I'd like to see much more subtle stuff in KOTOR 2; contact lenses, inauspicious headsets, subtle eyepieces, earpieces that fit inside the ear, and so on. Headgear which looks like starship engines sticking out of someone's head is just plain distracting. It should be an aesthetic choice, if at all.

Maria Caliban Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 I loved my pink visors. So much more fashionable than anything NeverWinter Nights have us for headgear. "When is this out.

Opus131 Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 I loved my pink visors. So much more fashionable than anything NeverWinter Nights have us for headgear. Better fashionable then any of the I.E. games as well. Frankly, i hate helmets, visors were pretty cool actually... Opus131 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fardragon Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 I liked the way the headgear was done in KotOR. It was a shame they didn't get it working on the wookie model though. Not to show headgear would be a definiate step backwards. A bioimplant is internal so you wouldn't expect it to show up on the character model. Everyone knows Science Fiction is really cool. You know what PoE really needs? Spaceships! There isn't any game that wouldn't be improved by a space combat minigame. Adding one to PoE would send sales skyrocketing, and ensure the game was remembered for all time!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quasar Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Things should defenitely be more discreet... I was carrying around something the size of the Ebon Hawk on my face for a lot of the time... The aural amplifiers are the only things I can stand wearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meiz Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 So true... Aural amplifier style (two blue thingies) and that red visor were the only headgear i could use. The rest of them were just too ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Child of Flame Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 So true... Aural amplifier style (two blue thingies) and that red visor were the only headgear i could use.

And the Genohardan Visor just seemed to top off the entire outfit rather well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderAndrew Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 The Geohardan gear required you to _kill_ people to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quasar Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 You're required to _kill_ people to get past the opening area. And don't say "let Trask do it" because he's still part of your party! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnderAndrew Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 just close your eyes while doing it... you know, "trust the force" and all that ... LOL! That's pretty much what I did. I played pure LS except for two exceptions. I killed Bendak, and I did the Geohardan quests. Bendak was a killer, and the Geohardan quests involved going after scum-bags. I closed my eyes and reminded myself the galaxy was a better place for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniggy Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 i can see why i got DS points for the G quests- but why did i get some for bendak? i mean it was HIM challenging me to a duel to death, actually. as an alternative, i might have as well just manipulated the arena controls back to "stun level" and then talk to him in sickbay once he wakes up. he'd leave his armor and just go into hiding. everyone happy. It's very hard to be polite if you're a cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maria Caliban Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Siggy, You could have killed Bendak without the arena. It was the using his death for entertainment that gave you DS points.
