Demigod Posted December 23, 2004 Posted December 23, 2004 How many people are working on the PC version? Will you have time for some bonus material for the PC version? Are you redoing the interface for the PC version, to take advantage of the mighty mouse controls? I don't believe there will be bonus material. The timeline we were given to finish the PC version is pretty short and does not include time for making changes to the interface other than fixing any bugs QA finds. That doesnt mean we have the xbox hud on pc + no mouse control does it?

kumquatq3 Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 You can use your mouse. They have already done plenty of work on the inventory/interface, but he means instead of extra minor content that was hinted at before, they are bug fixing.
DesertHawk Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 I know the Xboxers will hate me forever for even dreaming of suggesting this, but can we see BAB tweaked? Have monsters base-attack raised? In short, things to do to make the game a bit more challenging? Fnord.

In short, things to do to make the game a bit more challenging? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> *gets out the bucket of cold water* Doing that sort of thing within such a short time period is iffy. It sounds innocuous but what if it makes one particular battle murderously hard because of a combination of circumstances? Needs testing, and then you've got to re-jigger the balance when you find problems and test it all again, and... Of course, it's far more feasible than Hades's usual "add a better AI" suggestion... Besides, I'm sure they've got a few bugs of the "do-X-and-then-Y-and-then-Z-and-the-game-crashes" type to be getting on with...
Judge Hades Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 To make the game harder they need a proper AI that actually tries to strategize against the player instead of using swarm tactics.
Catalyst Posted January 8, 2005 Posted January 8, 2005 I must sadly concur. It is far more challenging and entertaining when enemies use actualy tactics.
EUIX Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 You know I still don't know how many NPCs there are. Is there a wookie? Because Avellone said so but I don't see a Wookie on the official site. "For ourselves, we shall not trouble you with specious pretences- either of how we have a right to our empire because we overthrew the Mede, or are now attacking you because of wrong that you have done us- and make a long speech which would not be believed; and in return we hope that you, instead of thinking to influence us by saying that you did not join the Lacedaemonians, although their colonists, or that you have done us no wrong, will aim at what is feasible, holding in view the real sentiments of us both; since you know as well as we do that right, as the world goes, is only in question between equals in power, while the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must."

DSLuke Posted January 10, 2005 Posted January 10, 2005 Will there a new spoiler forum be created for the PC version??? And by the light of the moon He prays for their beauty not doom
mkreku Posted January 11, 2005 Posted January 11, 2005 The timeline we were given to finish the PC version is pretty short and does not include time for making changes to the interface other than fixing any bugs QA finds.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've been thinking about this statement for a bit, and it's actually a bit offensive when I think about it. Most (not all!) people on this board who have played KotOR2 already have witnessed a huge amount of bugs and weird occurances within the game. They have also filled the board with posts about their bug-findings and problems. KotOR2 for the US Xbox owners passed through QA once before, and apparently they did not do their job very well the first time, since all those reported bugs/problems slipped through their fingers. The game was (presumably) made for the players. The players have played it, reviewed it and bug reported it since it was released. Now, how about actually listening to the players too? There have been lots of suggestions on how to improve the game (such as increasing the difficulty, letting all NPC's use the workbench etc.) and there have been lots of bug reports which the QA team missed the first time around. I hope Obsidian remembers that the player base is not only something abstract you take money from, but also an excellent source of information and inspiration.

Lin Posted January 16, 2005 Posted January 16, 2005 Rather than tweaking the game and having to worry about balance issues cropping up, it'd be sweet if they included a quasi-GM mode where the only thing you could tweak would be ability scores, saves, VP, FP, and attack bonus. Leave it up to the user, make it an optional mode for those looking for a different experience on the replay. Just off the top of my head, you could prevent incompatibilities arising (like the user lowering an enemy's stats and rendering him ineligible for his own feats/equipment) by only allowing users to raise stats. Actual devs could probably come up with something a lot more elegant. Not that this is something i actually expect to happen in this universe. It does seem like something that'd be fairly easy to implement; you could go for a bare-bones GUI, or maybe (possibly? i'm no programmer) have a folder of text files the game uses to call up character's stats. Wouldn't even need an interface in that case.

Can't Think Of A Name Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 For what it's worth, I have never had any problems with KOTOR and XP SP2; whether or not it's because I'm running XP Pro remains to be seen. For what it's worth, I've got [important parts only]: 1 GHz P3 384 MB RAM Sapphire/ATi 9600 256 MB Card And I'm OK for HDD space, although I might take Halo off to accomodate KOTOR 2 when that arrives. Lord Revan was most displeased with your lack of combat skill. -Something I wish they'd put in KOTOR
iamthelorax Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 My cousin told me over Christmas break that Microsoft fixed the issues with SP2, so I installed it and KotOR indeed still works.
