DSLuke Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 What according to you is the best period for KOTOR 3 (as I firmly believe there will a third installement) Personally I would like it to be a bit later than both KOTOR 1,2, maybe 1000 years after them.

Pope Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 A few years after KotOR2, so we can have a trilogy of related stories, much like the movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSLuke Posted October 2, 2004 Author Share Posted October 2, 2004 Yeah right and in the third gam the npc would have to ask what happened to both first two games, you would need half an hour to tackle with the question alone Also continuity wouldn't be a problem if the third game would take place long after kotor 1 and 2. Maybe we will get to see Revan and the new guy (pc in kotor 2) as spirits guiding you.

Nur Ab Sal Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 3-8 years after TSL, we would then have second ancient series of related stories after excellent TOTJ 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...
DSLuke Posted October 2, 2004 Author Share Posted October 2, 2004 are there any books written for that specific era?? And by the light of the moon He prays for their beauty not doom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOTORFanactic Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 About 2-10 years after KOTOR2 so that it has a feeling of continuity, and it feels like a real trilogy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nur Ab Sal Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 are there any books written for that specific era?? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah quite a lot: COMICS: Golden Age of the Sith Fall of the Sith Empire Knights of the Old Republic Freedon Nadd Uprising Dark Lords of the Sith Sith War Redemption BOOKS: Tales of the Jedi Companion A Guide to Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi Universe Bane of the Sith (short story) + 2 hardcover novels by Drew Karpyshyn and Elizabeth Hand scheduled for 2006-2007 release. 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.

sickboycp Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Speaking of Drew Karpyshyn, he was one of the writers behind the original KOTOR, so we should get a few references to Revan & co in the books when they appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nur Ab Sal Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Yeah Drew wanted to write KOTOR's novelization but finally got Old Republic novel with for now unknown storyline. Guy has great potential and I'm sure he will link KOTOR with his novel. Hand will probably go her own way in inventing setting & heroes but she has great talent too. 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.

sickboycp Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Yeah, I'm looking forward to these novelizations more than any other. But going back to the topic...I'd like KOTOR 3 to be Knights of the NEW Republic, set after the Battle of Endor. In fact, I seem to recall Feargus mentioning he threw the idea out to Lucasarts but they weren't biting. Still, I can only hope B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nur Ab Sal Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Yes it would be very cool to have a team with such NPCs as Mara Jade, Kirana Ti, Kyp Durron, Streen, Kyle Katarn, Corran Horn or Luke Skywalker himself! At last I could interact with characters I know very well from novels and other video games. Action should take place 14-15 years after ANH when Luke's Academy is fully developed. Knights of the New Republic could be unrelated to KOTOR series aside of similar title and KOTOR 3 could be released also. HERMOCRATES: Nur Ab Sal was one such king.

Nur Ab Sal Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 I think that in that case they'll just choose one plot ending as official. HERMOCRATES: Nur Ab Sal was one such king.

Really everything besides the thrawn trilogy really really suck The funnest thing is that people think Kyle Katarn is anything more than a video game character. I hope that one day there are more movies, so that the "eu" becomes known for what it is, authors who can't write mutilating the star wars universe. I love Salvatore, but the New Jedi Order books are a load of crap. People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world.

Nur Ab Sal Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 I don't like general plot of NJO. It looks like authors didn't have any fresh ideas so they decided to blow up entire lucasian galaxy...I mean the yuuzhan transformation of Coruscant (with moving moons) is sickest thing in history of star wars. NJO is toxic but I like few books (Edge of Victory, Unifying Force, Final Prophecy and Dark Journey) , admit that artistic level of NJO authors is better than crap produced by Barbara Hambly, Kube Mc Dowell or Roger Bride Allen! I like Zahn but I do not worship him like you. Besides guy is finished. All he does now is endless exploitation of Thrawn. Survivor's Quest sucks more than NJO. But his first novels were great, true. I like novels about Kyle Katarn, they were quite interesting HERMOCRATES: Nur Ab Sal was one such king.

DSLuke Posted October 2, 2004 Author Share Posted October 2, 2004 I would also like the idea of Knights of the new republic, of new rebuplic knights (product differentiaion) I would be ultra cool to have control over Luke Skywalker and his company, but a project like that should be epic (alowing for a play time well over 80 hours) to make it more difficult they could use the yslamaris creatures (or how they are called) so you could have some levels with no force at all (or at least for more parts of the level). NRK (New Republic Knights Volume 1) Yes I can feel it in the Force, it won't be a long time for it to be revealed And by the light of the moon He prays for their beauty not doom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nur Ab Sal Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Considering tons of EU material that devs have to study and proper presentation of everybody's favourite characters in case of such game, I think that production process would take 5-6 years and a team of 80-90 people.

Laozi Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 You don't seem to get what I'm saying. I don't worshipp Zahn, I just think that hes the only one who did an acceptable job The main problem with "eu" is that it has already been too congested, every area of time post ROTJ has been filled, and filled poorly. Even if a compitent author wanted to make a contribution it would be too difficult, because he would have to make provide for the crap that's already been writen. I say scrap it and start over. Take what little good there is, Mara Jade and a handful of good characters, take Zahn and maybe a couple of good established authors outside the star wars realm, most likely fantasy, and have them get together and write a competent and consistant storyline.

sickboycp Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 The only EU is really enjoyed was the stuff by Anderson, the first Zahn trilogy The Unifying Force and Shadows of the Empire (though Lucas has even said he considers it canon) That being said, a well-done Knights of the New Republic that ignores the Hambly, McDowell and co crap could give me a modicum of faith back in the EU. However, I DON'T want to see Knights of the Rebellion, or some such game that tries to weave an original story through the movies. They're trying that with the upcoming LOTR RPG, and frankly it strikes me as a BAD idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSLuke Posted October 2, 2004 Author Share Posted October 2, 2004 For such a game I would wait. Altough I don't know if Lucasarts can wait for that long without cashing for a game. Well surely they do have enough money and they own it to the funs. And by the light of the moon He prays for their beauty not doom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laozi Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 And if anyone thinks the whole suncrusher books were any good then you're immediatly disqualified from discussing any of this, because of your stupidity you are incrediable biased People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world.

So much so that Anderson's background (both here and in TOTJ) becomes the "official" background according to Lucas. Indeed, I read somewhere that Lucas even based Darth Maul on Exar Kun. EDIT: I think you forgot an 'of' somewhere in there. Mentioning someone's stupidity and using bad grammar while you do it kind of undermines your point, don't you think? I expected more from someone who has a Frank Blake lyric as their sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laozi Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Happy, and the fact that anderson wrote the sun crusher is proof he has no business writing in the star wars world People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world.

Nur Ab Sal Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 I think that Suncrusher is a brilliant idea And don't forget dear Laozi that personal preferences cannot be measured. I know a lot of people who claim that Thrawn Trilogy is a crap and only idiots like it. I like Thrawn Trilogy and Jedi Academy Trilogy equally... HERMOCRATES: Nur Ab Sal was one such king.
