January 4, 200521 yr This is in regards to the following discussion : http://forums.obsidianent.com/index.php?showtopic=27952 Perhaps a majority vote based on this sample pool may prove to be representable supposition.
January 4, 200521 yr Both! You can show one after the other, but make sure that it isn't mandoatory to see one of them.
January 4, 200521 yr I'd prefer being shown via a cinema while narration is taking place, or at least narration over some artwork. Like what Fallout did.
January 4, 200521 yr Epiphany, that would bea good compromise. Frankly that was what I was expecting the ending in KotOR 2 to be.
January 4, 200521 yr Cinematic and make sure the bloody ending gives the player a little bit of freakin closer. " Cheers!
January 4, 200521 yr You know, I kind of like a told ending. Preferably there should be a short cinematic ending as well, but there's a certain fable-like appeal to having a nice, long, told ending. Cinematic endings are by necessity less detailed and therefore less fulfilling/more trite, but having a triumphant cinematic clip (like the ones that ended KotOR) after a told ending would work very well.
January 4, 200521 yr Yeah, both as well. I need both visuals plus the extra details that are unable to be conveyed using the latter. Current 3DMark
January 4, 200521 yr Both for me. Despite the fact that many people who've played KOTOR has a negative view on it, I'm still very optimistic about the Februari release and can't wait to get my paws on the game :D
January 4, 200521 yr Both. I liked the little Revelation video aboard the Leviathan, when you found out about your past. That would've been perfect type of ending for KOTOR II. Evolutionary Development
January 4, 200521 yr In fact this is not regarding the ending scene of the game itself, but the 'post-ending' in which you see how your actions have affected the world. Obviously for the endgame I want to have a cinematic experience, which can hardly be provided by a dialogue. However, for the 'post-ending' part, I can live with a well written and moving dialogue, even though nothing beats a slideshow a la Fallout. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
January 4, 200521 yr Well, considering that video games are a primarily visual experience (dealing mostly with images rather than words), I find that cinematics are much more effective in maintaining the "feel" of the game.
January 4, 200521 yr name a recent crpg that did not have a cinematic ending. go ahead, we dare you. now, if you is talking 'bout all the kotor2 epilogue variations... well, that is not the same thing, is it?

January 4, 200521 yr if you wanna read get a book i say! the best thing would be a cinematic ending with dialogue and narration if needed
January 4, 200521 yr I remember a game called Splinter Cell: Pandora Tommorow, and in the end of the game, Sam Fisher gets in his SUV and takes off, in a cinematic fasion. We need more than that for an ending. Current 3DMark

January 4, 200521 yr Better yet... Morrowind. That's not fair. Morrowind had no ending to speak of. " - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
January 4, 200521 yr never finished either... but we find hard to believe that there was no cinematic. just 'cause there is text included not mean that there weren't cinematic. would be very surprised if end battle takes place and suddenley screen goes black with only rolling text followed by credits.

Never played Fable either, but Morrowind was... odd. After beating the main baddy, you just... kept going. No cinematic ending, no credits, nothing. As I said, no ending to speak of. Saying it was disappointing is an understatement. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

January 4, 200521 yr the first movie... of course. ends with conan sitting on throne as mako does some narration... text scrolling. is good stuff. HA! Good Fun!
