Ecrir Twy'Lar Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 I personally would like to see more characters that start out with a history of growing up in the academy.
Kaftan Barlast Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 It would be more realistic with a game that spun the entire length of a characters life and not just the brief few weeks it takes her/him to save the galaxy from the ever-present doom. you play the intro as a small child 10 years later you play some levels as a padawan 5 years later you embark on your first tasks as a young jedi 5 years later as a full jedi you embark on the usual quest to save the galaxy from the threat youve seen slowly building in the previos parts of the game. Has this EVER been done in a RPG? I think its a grand idea that would add tons of potential depth to the story and your attachement to your character.

But, I like your idea of actually participating in the childhood a bit. btw, I like the picture if Bariss.
Laozi Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 what about potty training, that could be a very challenging level People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world. What they don't understand is, I mean a jellyfish with long, blond hair.
Kaftan Barlast Posted October 7, 2004 Posted October 7, 2004 well, mr. fancypants, you havent seen jedi-potty-training..

YOu have to raise and lower the seat with the force, and FLush the toilet with the force and without your hands. The power is VERY usefull on highway truckstop restrooms
alanschu Posted October 8, 2004 Posted October 8, 2004 System Shock 2 "sorta" did this. You enlisted in one of three factions, and then got to choose how you progressed through the faction, with all factions' 4th tour of duty ending up on the ship, starting the main plot. It only really gave you additional training and skills...but it did give your character some background.
DSLuke Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 Hm. A more active Jedi trainning. Maybe including some puzzles and stuff as you progress your trainning. Sounds good to me. And by the light of the moon He prays for their beauty not doom
I don't like usernames Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 Sounds more of an idea for Jedi academy 2 than a viable suggestion for the KOTOR series to me. But please skip the five year old or even ten year old parts, let us start playing at age fifteen or sixteen with the Padawan missions. Just ask some questions about our early childhood at the start and let the game decide which master will pick you based on your responses to those questions.
Kaftan Barlast Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 The child part would ideally be just a scripted cutscene where it shows you being discovered by a jedi master and then brought to the academy for the first time. It would add depth but if you havent got the patience you could just clickskip it.

ShinIchiro Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 I've always wanted interaction in the Jedi Academy...would be awesome.

DSLuke Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 It cold be done but only in cutscenes. And by the light of the moon He prays for their beauty not doom
tripleRRR Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 How about, none of the above. TripleRRR Using a gamepad to control an FPS is like trying to fight evil through maple syrup.
Barzarel Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 Personally i am for the reconnect to the force, but nevertheless start with it as a choice. Thought story in Kotor 1 was good and i saw reason as to why he dident have force powers at start, but in the new one id like the option at picking jedi classes from start less the first lvls arent counted in lvl total, it rather annoying to only half a small amount of force points because you had dual class prior to being jedi especially if you counsulor class because it depend more or less one alot of force point since it more mage minded. I played through old one as gaurdian and light way, but eventually i started to pick a counsulor since i thought it would be fun, but i got so sick and tired of having half jedi power pick and half force points that i dident bother playing through with him. Really hope since i believe they said you been former jedi and trying to reconnect to the force that they at least either make any class, prior to jedi not count in lvl total or allow jedi full leveling from 1-20lvl if they have same lvl limit as last. And for logic it suck, dont remember Kyle from JK having less force powers than the other despite he reconnected to the force, please either remove the dual start or remove how it works Exsample make it and option to repick point on your jedi again, gaurdian=warrior or such so you get same as the other gaurdians, if you reconnecting to the force it should work as it does with PALADIN in D&D, you lose your paladin powers while your fallen till you atone, then you regain them. Shouldnt mean you completely lose your past powers it sucks for logic.

starwarskid15_19 Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 and u start the game with MINIMAL force abilities. so u have the basics i guess the force is what gives a jedi his power. its an energy field created by all living things. it surrounds us and penetrates us. it binds the galaxy together
Barzarel Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 thats good enough for me just dont like having nothing but prime class type outside jedi since game surrounds jedi.
KoToRfReAk Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 is an academy, i mean luke starts on a moisture farm, anakin starts on a mechanic shop, i mean break away from the norm
Barzarel Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 Think reason students was taken yearly was to allow bigger growth in their control of their force powers, and to teach them yearly to prepare them and make them less likely to fall to the dark side. Older student have alot to learn and they had prior lives outside the academy which would for some make them more open to the dark side. For instance living longer in community strenghed bonds to it family and such, if childs removed yearly it easier to protect them from grief or other things like loss. But either way taking adult students is possible but a higher risk to them falling to the dark side.
