Designer Rambling: Wookiees


Recommended Posts

Hypothetically, you may be able to have a wookiee join your party. If you do, one difference between wookiee companions in K1 and K2, is the ones in K2 have the ability to enter a "Wookiee Rage," Chewbacca style, make the screen flush blood-red and then proceed to rend through any opponents they encounter. Don't forget to use it if your wookiee friend is in a tight spot.

 

Other than this one wookiee, however, you won't encounter any others that made it off Kashyyyk in K2 - and you certainly won't encounter as many as it looks like you're going to encounter in Episode III.

Does it mean that Zalbaar is a full party member again?

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.

Are wookiee's comparable to the chupa cabras?

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.

I think whatever Chris Avellone decides to ramble about here is going to turn into a dozen-page thread.

 

So if you've been looking for a forum to talk about that strategically-placed boil that's been worrying you, Mr. Avellone, you've found the right place.

I made this half-pony half-monkey monster to please you

But I get the feeling that you don't like it

What's with all the screaming?

You like monkeys, you like ponies

Maybe you don't like monsters so much

Maybe I used too many monkeys

Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you?

Me neither. I don't think Zalbaar will make an appearance at all. I have yet to encounter someone that actually liked and regularly used him.

 

I don't like wookies at all, so let's hope that you're right.

I hope the wookie is a Jedi

No hate here. I'm amongst those fervently waiting for any pitiful scrap of information he may deign to throw to us, and I'm certainly certainly not implying that Chris Avellone should stop posting these threads. I'm just noting that nothing draws attention like a Lead Designer-posted thread on a gaming board. He could talk about just about anything and get a sizeable response.

 

On the subject of Zaalbar, he was second only to T3-M4 in being an undeveloped, uninteresting character in the first game.

 

'So, Zaalbar, have anything to say about yourself?'

 

'Nope.'

 

'Have anything to say about this planet?'

 

'Nope.'

 

'Could you help me with a problem?'

 

'Nope.'

 

Even on Kashyyssk he felt like an empty shell. I mean, he spends the majority of the planet locked up in Chuundar's tent, and when it comes to the final confrontation you actually have to decide for him whether he'll support Freyyr or Chuundar. What a tool.

 

Let's hope 'Big Z' is staying in retirement and we get a new wookie with something resembling personality.

I really liked having Zaalbar as a party member in KOTOR, he was quite useful in many battles, given the right weapons...I usually used the wookie blade he got given and Ajunta's poison blade, and he kicked serious ass.

 

Sure, you didn't have much interaction with him, but how cool was it doing quests on Korriban with a wookie by your side? :p

 

It'll be great to have a wookie back as a possible party member, even if it ins't Zaalbar.

Heh. You couldn't even get him to disembowel some of those arrogant Czerka morons. I guess that would have prevented him from winning 'the most passive NPC ever' award.

- When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

What's wrong with Zaalbar? He was a great melee fighter with the wookie ceremonial blade and baragwin blade both upgraded.

 

Sure he didn't great AC but usually he killed everyone before that.

 

Sure he didn't talk much, but I don't have wookie partners for the stimulating conversation. Who wants an eloquent wookie going "Hrrrwarrrrr!" al the time anyway?

Wookies are there for the menacing physical presence.

Wookiees, like any other type of character are as good as the story that's built around them
