More bountys

[Craigboy2]

In the last game there were only 15 bounties but it would be cool if there were like 50 in kotor2 so it can be a real mini-game.(better awards aftereach bountie)

[ShinIchiro]

maybe a little excessive?

[nightcleaver]

'might shift the focus a bit... though it could be fun.

[icebox15]

I'm on board with it.

[EnderAndrew]

I could be down for a few more bounties. I didn't play DS, but I thought there was only like 8 bounties. (5 on Taris and 3 Geohardan bounties). Was I mistaken?

[OLD SKOOL WHEELMAN]

Well, now we can team up with Mira the bounty hunter, and if you follow her rules, you don't get a darkside penalty, however if you kill them, you get DS points and less credits...just a thought...

"No disintegrations."

 

Damn, there went the paper-towel clean-up!

[nik_bg]

Yep, it is nice to have a sidequest like Genoharadan, and 5 bounties is definitely too low (50 is definitely too much)

 

May be 10 will be OK, spreaded over all planets.

 

Nik.

Remember, this is KOTOR, not Bounty Hunter. Too many bounties and we sort of loose sight of the game's objective.

[Craigboy2]

how about there are people who you can get bounties from from most of the planets and you get like 10 bounties from each one

[OLD SKOOL WHEELMAN]

How about different numbers on each one instead of a set number which doesn't sound too realistic...max=8 and min=4 on each planet...that might give you a good number...

[EnderAndrew]

I have no problem with bounties being optional side-quests. If you don't want to take bounties, then don't.

Yeah that sounds about right to me. Personally I hope they flesh out the bounties more with more sinister and well guarded targets and far more people begging for their lives.

 

Cheers!

One of the problems with expanding the bounty system is that is exposes the combat system. There is no stun setting, nor concussion damage. What if someone wants a bounty alive? Are we supposed to beat them to 10% of their life, and then suddenly they surrender?

[Judge Hades]

That is the problem in the way the game handles hit point loss. There is no such thing as subdual damage.

Good point. Since players go unconscious couldn't you drain a npc's health bar and then administer some aid which brings him back but not in fighting shape this would be followed by an in game cut-scene of you leading him off to the bounty office. I don't know just an idea. Personally I hope they no bother and just keep the bounties like they were before which is basicly mafia style hits. I just wanna hit some better marks who are more than just the local punks.

 

Cheers!

[EnderAndrew]

I think the Geohardan shapechanger bounty was nice.

 

What about bounties that require stealth or costume changes? It would be nice to see, but I doubt it would happen.

[Judge Hades]

It is more of a challenge to bring them in alive. Hell, we could put cells in one of the storage bays to take caputred bounties. The bounties, except story specific, could be somewhat random to.

Whoever puts out the bounty might give you a special weapon to knock them out then you drag them in to collect the prize.

[Judge Hades]

Or they could just set it up that one could buy such a weapon from the bounty office.

[icebox15]

That works.

[EnderAndrew]

The more I think about it, I think the way to handle it is with an event. If hitpoints drop below 10%, a scripted event occurs. The target surrenders. You then either kill them regardless, or take them into custody. They then appear in the cargo hold. You can only have 1-2 bounties in the hold before you have to return to Planet X and return them.

Yep that sounds good to me. It would be pretty awsome to be able to have bounties locked away on your ship. Personally I would torture them physically and verbally for Dark side points. On second thought why bother I could always just hire Donald Rumsfeld and his cronies for that.

 

Cheers!

That would be cool to have the bounties locked up on your ship. You go back to the bounty office and tell him you have a bounty in your ship and then when you return you see a couple of armed guards pushing him out in a Hannibal Lector getup, face mask and all.
