Fardragon Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 As I've mentioned before Onderon will probably be one of the worlds since Dxun is so close. Also in the background on the earlier video clip was a dragon like creature which could have been a beast rider mount. Onderon has a pseudo-medievil feel to it. I personally I can't think of any more stories to tell on Kashyakk. We had Wookie slaves in the first game. 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!!!!!

Dereth Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 I personally I can't think of any more stories to tell on Kashyakk. How about a rampant attack by lumberjacks! I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay. I sleep all night. I work all day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinion42 Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 Well if there's going to be 7 planets, and those already revealed are Dantooine, Dxun, and Telos, I think the following would be cool choices: Hoth - just cause it's home to the coolest battle ever, and snowstorms would make for some interesting saber duels. Alderaan - isn't anyone else interested? Ord Mantell - it's a cool place Nal Hutta - please oh please let us kill a hutt If we had to go back to any planet from the first game (besides Dantooine obviously) I'd choose Taris. It would be decimated, but it would be an interesting sight to see. Maybe the sith have taken over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fardragon Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 I think Hoth was cut from the first game bacause there was nothing interesting there (it is supposed to be uninhabited at this time). After you've killed your 32nd Wampa it begins to get tired. Everyone knows Science Fiction is really cool. You know what PoE really needs? Spaceships!

OLD SKOOL WHEELMAN Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 Alderaan sounds awesome, but were they still uptight about law this far back? But, it might be fun to have you're weapons confiscated, find a weapon, and defeat the Sith Lord...but how did the SL get on Alderaan without notice? F***! More F***ing CONSPIRACIES!

Darth_Gandalf Posted June 25, 2004 Author Share Posted June 25, 2004 These are all very good ideas. I don't know very much about Onderon or Ord Mantell. Does anybody have more information on these places? "You shall not pass!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nur Ab Sal Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 Onderon is a crucial planet from Tales of the Jedi series. It was an isolated world at the fringes of the galaxy where infamous Freedon Nadd started dark-side dynasty who ruled The Great Walled City of Iziz (spreading through the centuries the city blossomed with kilometres-deep subterranean levels) - ruthless tyranny ignited the Beast Wars which lasted for 350 years until Jedi Knight Ulic Qel Droma as a head of Jedi Mission brought peace and overthrew evil dynasty. The worshippers of Freedon Nadd then started so called FREEDON NADD UPRISING and besieged jedis in the Onderon Jungle. Then Republic announced blockade of entire system and sent Nomi Sunrider with an army who crushed darksiders once and for all. Remains of Freedon Nadd were transported to Dxun moon near Onderon and sealed in cortosis sarcophagus. Later on Onderon came Exar Kun in search for forbidden sith knowledge. He released the ghost of Freedon Nadd and traveled with him to Korriban and Yavin IV where he gained the mantle of the Dark Lord... From what I saw in comics city of Iziz is one of the most interesting Star Wars locations. But I don't think that devs would be able to bring this city onto screen appropriately - it has very ancient look and KOTOR is very modern in climate and doesn't have many in common with Tales of the Jedi where you really feel the difference of 4000 years. HERMOCRATES: Nur Ab Sal was one such king. He it was, say the wise men of Egypt, who first put men in the colossus, making many freaks of nature at times when the celestial spheres were well aligned. SOCRATES: This I doubt. We are hearing a child's tale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Gandalf Posted June 25, 2004 Author Share Posted June 25, 2004 That's right, it was Freedon Nadd who was buried on Dxun! Yes, it would make a lot of sense to go to Onderon, then. It seems to be so integrally related to Dxun that it would make perfect sense to visit Onderon. "You shall not pass!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I would disagree with! I think the dev could make the ancient world look the way it should. They did an excellet job with the Valley of The Dark Lords on Korriban. Rakattan World also looked pretty ancient to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nur Ab Sal Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 Valley was OK but sith look like some nazis or KGB officers - in one word terrible. Rakata was ancient indeed but I can't say that about other locations like Manaan or Taris. And what cybernetic implants are doing in an ancient galaxy? Man just read Tales of the Jedi series and you will know how things should look. I get an impression that our small talk will achieve nothing becouse I don't see any devs who would be interested in fans' opinions HERMOCRATES: Nur Ab Sal was one such king.

Azazis Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 I get an impression that our small talk will achieve nothing becouse I don't see any devs who would be interested in fans' opinions I doubt that they'll change their planned design no :3 Have some faith. I made this guesses earlier on: 1. Pegasus. It IS marked as one of the seven planets. its been said in more then one interview. ( but I don't keep them stored :\ ) 2. Telos. I think this is the planet with the rain and laser towers in the distance. could be off tho 3. Dantooine. Yup yup 4. Dxun. Ahhh the Jungle planet has been named :3 Sounds promising 5. Cityworld.... Could be any cityworld. But it has a more dark atmosphere then Taris did. Perhaps Sith controlled? 6. Snowworld. Well, they implented snow didnt they? =p I seriously DOUBT its Hoth tho. And I hope it isnt. I mean.. what on earth can you do with Hoth? its a big clump of ice. I hope for more mysterious snow planet. 7.... Anything BUT Tattooine please ;.; Would make sense if it was a Korriban like planet to end it all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be any cityworld. But it has a more dark atmosphere then Taris did. Perhaps Sith controlled? Um, Taris WAS Sith controlled...we don't need another Taris do we?

Nur Ab Sal Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 They were supposed to look ancient not like Cold War era villains. Have ever read Tales of the Jedi comics? That's how ancient sith should look! Don't get me wrongo - I really love KOTOR but as a SW fan i'm obliged to criticize things that are certain mistakes. HERMOCRATES: Nur Ab Sal was one such king.

Judge Hades Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 The only thing I would want out of the plaents is real exploration instead of everything being constrained. I hated that in KotOR1. When I was in Kashyyk(msp?) I wanted the chance of getting lost. Not going to happen in the way the set it up which was downright sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kdy-worker 1138 Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 I belive that lucas wantet the Galactic Impirere to be like nazis (which succeded) , the nazi sith are a Bioware invention..though i may be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nur Ab Sal Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 You still don't understand? I'm criticizing the LOOK of the sith not their sick philosophy! They should look ancient not like XXth century villains. Read "Golden age of Sith" or "Knights of the Old Republic" or any other comic and you'll understand...

In KOTOR the Sith were not the TRUE ancient Sith. They were not even Kun's Sith. So yes they look different. Remember they all started off as Jedi's and republic soldiers that followed Revan to the dark side. So it's easy to see how they would have simply adapted their previous look rather than trying imitate Sith fashion that came before them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightcleaver Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 Shdy: Agreed on that. Azazis: It's Peragus, not pegasus Unless there's a pegasus as well. Also, I don't know if you know this, but we know that the Jungle/beach area of the walkthrough video on the main LA site is Telos. Is that what you're talking about? I don't remember any laser towers (in screens, concept or otherwise), but I'll go check up on it. I'm sure I could've missed it easily enough. Nur Ab Sal: Why don't you trust the dev's judgement? They're the ones that are making the game, and THEY are the only ones that know what can be done in the time given by their publishers. I personally like the idea of another city world, and I don't think it'll be like Taris; it'll just be another city. Oh, and I just realized something... this sequel is technically continuing the same war, despite the small separation; The Sith are occupying the outer rim, now, even though they were pushed down for a time with the Star Forge... which seems to have only stopped them from totally destroying the Republic. (However the star forge was destroyed, It wouldn't make much sense for it not to be) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
