Spoilers

[DesertHawk]

I believe the PC is the one with the red saber. Malak has a purple saber behind him ( a la the critical strike motion).

Bastie indeed looks like she is running towards you. However, why wouldn't all the Jedi (notice we have to evil sith robes around us!) try to cripple a sith?

 

Notice the caption underneath. Could it be possible that these "ghosts" of allies are trying to turn you? That they're like the "vader" that luke encountered on degobah?

 

Back on handmaiden:

 

I could see the clone idea working. But to me, she doesn't really look a lot like Atris.

[Kazic]

No malak's got the red saber I think. Good quesstion. Who knows why? I don't think they're evil jedi. I think they look like jedi.

[Bastilla_Skywalker]

Well as I said about Atris she plays a "vital" role in the sith lords but she isn't in your party!

 

now from the screen shot that everyone is talking about with "the Bastilla and Malak models."

 

"FEW Possiblities of the "talk about screen shot"

 

1. Hopefully the developors haven't put the "famous" models of Malak and Bastilla as NPC's you fight against to cause all this confusion.

 

OR

 

 

2. Either as everyone is saying either you go through a" time portal" or somthing to go to korribon and have to do a task in the past that is "very inportant!" and the time line happens to be before KOTOR! and you end up fighting a bunch of Jedi or somthing!

 

OR

 

3.Its just a force vision from the past or somthing and you were there when it all happened...and you are re-gaining your visions from the past or somthing!

 

 

OR

 

4. They are force Ghosts of Malak and Bastilla fighting long side you or against you bla bla bla

 

 

 

 

 

 

OR

 

5. The devs just put this in to get everyone off the track!

 

 

 

OR

 

5. the makers just put the "famous" heads in of Malak and Bastilla because they ran out of heads.

 

 

 

LOL

 

 

any way this is just my speculation from my point of view1

 

 

cheers

 

 

[Azazel005]

Placeholder models maybe?

[Darth_Gandalf]

Is it not all so very confusing!?

 

Also:

 

Who would the new romance options be?

 

For a male, Handmaiden and Visas Marr both look like they will be fiercely devoted to you. Can you get them both in your party at the same time, or just one or the other? I think something's been stated on this, but I don't remember what it was.

[jaguars4ever]

Placeholder models maybe?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

That was my first reaction too, but the screenshot is from the gold version.

[nightcleaver]

I just sorta figure she's YOUR handmaiden; pretty simple.

 

The screenshot... well... I don't get that. It intrigues me, though... a lot.

 

to Neo: We can't assume the path KotOR II will assume, although we can make assumptions about the circumstances of the particular screenshot. It seems odd that Jedi, along with Darth Malak, would be attacking the PC, so I sort of suspect Force ghosts are still a possibility. Also, Malak MIGHT very well regret his path on the dark side ending, and he might not fully regret his path on the Lightside ending. We can't read his mind, so that's definitely territory that can be made up by Obsidian.

Oh my god the gold version still has placeholder models how incredibly lazy

 

Ok, well I am it will be well explained, the story by our limited accounts is excellent so I am not too worried.

That is not darth malak in that screenshot. It's just malak. I'm going with the hallucination theory. The heads aren't placeholders.

[Craigboy2]

they can't be place holders

[mastaGAW]

Hey Kaz, question.

 

How do you know he is light?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

He was in the sexy orange robes, he wasn't pasty, and he had his jaw. Maybe it is a playable flash back...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

On the KOTOR2 website there is a weapon made by the people of Kamino so perhaps they have something to do with it.

[Kazic]

Really? Where? Who'd wanna clone malak lol?

[Darth_Gandalf]

A number of options for potential cloners:

 

Darth Nihilis/Nihilus

 

Darth Sion

 

Revan & Bastila

 

The Jedi

 

The Mandalorians

 

The Republic

 

The Sith Empire

 

You

[Kazic]

Clones of who?

[Dark_Consular]

Kazic I'm not personally mad at you or anyone, it's just that I hope that section is not a big part of the game because alot of us will regret ever reading this thread but I doubt that will happen.

 

And who knows that might not even be in part of the game ever seen the halo 2 trailer? They have a whole level which is completely left out of the campaign.

[Darth_Gandalf]

Clones of who?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Clones of Malak

 

vis-a-vis the Malak/Bastila screenshot.

[Kazic]

DC I highly doubt that this is a majot spoiler. It may, as someone said earlier, have been intended to throw us off. It seems odd that a mag that is trying preserve the curtain would put up such a spoiler ridden pic doesn't it? I don't think it's what we think it iis.

[Dark_Consular]

I agree Kazic, I also feel that it is pretty hard to call something a spoiler from just a picture but like I said before it has to be seen as a possible twist.

[Darth_Gandalf]

So in other words, there's no telling what it is.

 

That's a pretty big spoiler for such a petty article to expose.

 

Ha! Maybe they thought we wouldn't notice. Yeah, right.

 

I'm with you, Kazic. It can't be anything TOO earth-shattering.

[Kazic]

True, I wouldn't worry too much though.

Some where chris avelone is beating his head against a desk in despair: they found it! nooooo!

[Stargate: 2000]

Yep. Come on, after all. Who would REALLY ask such stupid questions as "Was Revan male or female?" or "Was Revan Lightside or Darkside?"

 

While this is a device used by the devs to get necessary info, in terms of game context it's probably just Atton playing stupid to mess with you. Especially if he had a role in the Civil War.

 

He may even be just like you -- an exiled Jedi stripped of force powers.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I kinda like this idea. I mean if he is LS then it would make sense that whats left of the Order would try to keep track of the "last" known Jedi, and if he is DS then it would make sense that he would be there to gain inteligence on the lone jedi. Its also possible that he is merely force sensitive and can be trained at a later date.

 

I read somwhere in an interview that when Lucasarts got Obsidian to make the game they had a couple limits,and one of them was NO FLASHBACKS.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I know it was said by one of the devs (most likely Akari) but at such an early stage in development (I am refering to when the coment was made not now) can we really take to account what was said to be fact, I mean if they are going to show you something earth shatering would they really want you looking for the flash back?.... ok I was kinda rambeling there forgive me.

 

I have a few under my hat that I'm not letting out period, because they'll ruin some things for some people. As for spec, no not really.

 

I want to change the topic now to the handmaiden. Whos hand do you think she is, and why would she leave her master when it's her duty to serve them and all.

 

I know why the review says she joins you, but it also says that no one joins without some sort of ulterior motive. Discuss.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I was wondering if maybe she joins the party because the PC saves her life or the life of the Queen and she feels that she must join in order to protect the PC... though that does kinda go against the whole people joining not just because they want to but because it serves their motives. well to a point atleast because she is jedi trainable or already trained as a jedi in some picts.

 

Is it not all so very confusing!?

 

Also:

 

Who would the new romance options be?

 

For a male, Handmaiden and Visas Marr both look like they will be fiercely devoted to you. Can you get them both in your party at the same time, or just one or the other? I think something's been stated on this, but I don't remember what it was.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I was thinking back to what Akari said awhile back about the disciple, handmaiden, and Viras Marr not all being able to be in the party at once. Well I am guessing now (after looking at the pict talking about the NPCs) that we are able to have any combination of the three in our party just not all three. So this also makes me wonder about the whole apprentices thing since atleast two of the three have been shown with lightsabers in picts does that now comefirm that we can train more than one NPC... or is it possible that once we regain our Force abilities that Kreia (saying she is still around this far in the game) will take another apprentice while we take our own???

[Darth_Gandalf]

Hmm. If that is so, then I would take both Handmaiden and Visas Marr and leave Disciple out in the cold. He looks like such a girlie man!

[Kazic]

Oh yeah because Visas Marr looks SO much better than him :rollseyes: I think I'd take handmaiden because she seems cool. Kelly hu *is* awesome though. Hmmm...

 

I still think you can't have VM and Handmaiden in your party at the same time. It just hasn't been brought up lately.

[mastaGAW]

I'd appreciate any information you could give daddio.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Ugh...that word.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

well since both are fircely protective of the PC I am betting that you can, though I could (and am) very likely wrong. My main thought on this is that because neither one of them are listed as being strickly one side or the other in the reveiw it makes me think its possible. I was also wondering if the Handmaidens name is going to be "Sirta" " .... and they can't release it because it would be too obvoius?
