The Great Phantom Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 I was asked to start a poll about this, so here it is. Don't vote if you don't want to, but I would like to hear where everyone is thinking of going to 'forum'.

Darth Frog Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 I voted for the LucasArts forums, for a simple reason: the official forum(s) hosted by the game developer/publisher are a logical place to look for somebody who wants to discuss things about a game. The community seems surprisingly small even as it is, compared to the popularity and sales figures of the game. If you fragment the community further by having a large chunk of it exile themselves on an obscure board somewhere then the quality of discussion would go even lower. I think one reason for the curious lack of quality discussion even here, on the official board, is simply that there is little to discuss except for ethical and story line issues. On the surface TSL is a d20 RPG like KotOR or NWN, but the choices you get to make - class, attributes, feats, skills, powers, equipment, strategies, tactics - do not matter a pair of dingo's kindneys because the game is so easy. In most cases you can win even if you made the worst possible choices and use the worst possible tactics, so there is little incentive to discuss character builds, feat progressions, combat strategies or planet orders.

kungfutse Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 I would think that the StarWarsKnights.com section of LucasForums, where Holowan Labs for instance is located, would be the logical place to migrate if/when this board closes. LucasArts forums are just one big flame war after another. And back to lurking mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kungfutse Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 Holowan Labs is one section of the LucasForums (http://www.lucasforums.com), it's _the best_ resource for KoTOR (TSL) mods. In addition to Holowan Labs, LucasForums also have other sections dedicated to Knights of The Old Republic. LucasForums are not to be confused with the LucasArts forums, these two are totally separete things that are worlds apart from each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
