Caelib Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 One of the things that really annoyed me in the original game was how the player's lightsaber wouldn't "shut-off" until 5 - 10 seconds after a battle was over. When NPC's controlled a character, it would shut off immediately, as expected. It should do the same for players -- Jedi shut off their lightsaber immediately ... reference the scene from Episode I in the hanger bay when Qui-gon was fighting the droids and the amount of time that transpired between the last hit, shutting off, and back on his belt was less than a second.
Fingolfin Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 I'd like to see lightsabres manually ignited. I liked the flourish option, but sometimes you just want to light the thing and not wave it about. So what would be cool is a button to ignite/turn off your lightsabre manually.
GhostofAnakin Posted November 3, 2004 Posted November 3, 2004 I wouldn't mind having this included, although I don't want it to be a "manual" shut off, since I'd rather it be automatic.

Laozi Posted November 3, 2004 Posted November 3, 2004 this just really doesn't seem too important 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.
Barzarel Posted November 3, 2004 Posted November 3, 2004 As long as shut off is easy dont wanna have it feel like a chore, rather than a neat feature.
Caelib Posted November 3, 2004 Author Posted November 3, 2004 this just really doesn't seem too important <{POST_SNAPBACK}> As a software developer myself, 10% polish goes a long way ... it's the little things and attention to detail that make a good game a great game. For example, they added weather effects to the engine ... not important ... but more polish ... see what I mean?
starwarskid15_19 Posted November 3, 2004 Posted November 3, 2004 why do i come to the suggestions forum??? 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

Ever Faith Posted November 4, 2004 Posted November 4, 2004 I wouldn't mind having this included, although I don't want it to be a "manual" shut off, since I'd rather it be automatic. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah prehaps it should just shut off faster. Like 3 to 5 seconds after a fight. Evolutionary Development

Board Guest#1111111111 Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 It would be to much of a hassle. You should be able to holster your lightsaber and other weapons though.
SoulSwindler Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 I dunno...when you equip a lightsaber and it ignites itself in front of a bunch of people who you don't want to know you're a Jedi..it kinda ruins the fantasy. Like on Taris...lightsaber waving about in front of Sith troopers who don't seem to put two and two together...it should definetly have a manual.
NiCK-LeSS Posted November 6, 2004 Posted November 6, 2004 would be nice to see a "Lightsaber On/Off" Option
