ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 The beast is the Basilisk War Droid. Like it or not. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not in KOTOR II (1000 thanks to Mr Avellone) I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now.

tmp Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 Whoa, four pages already. regarding the silly "riding on the droid mean this and not that" controversy... we also ride on trains and buses... :s

I sure as hell don't want to ride on a bus or train. I want to ride IN them. KOTOR 2 must be completed
ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 that's just a mistake. Chris made many of them in KOTOR 2. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Your confusing mistake with choice not to include something that looks completely stupid and out of place in the game I think. There was intent to ignore the molelobster which means it's not a mistake.Simply good judgement. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now.

AngryTarsier Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 yeah.. with the current trend for realism, you can't have a molelobster falling out of orbit and crashing into the ground.. It just doesn't look right... *ponders* if this so called molelobster is heated in re-entry will it look the same or will it go bright orange like a boiled lobster would look like?? lobster.. hmmm yumm..

A lack of respect for continuity. Just because something looks stupid, he ****ing felt the right to have it changed. Screw him, and his Virago. At least Bioware knew what they hell they were doing.

tmp Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 Of course proper context is a factor is such a thing. I sure as hell don't want to ride on a bus or train. I want to ride IN them. When someone says thay rode on the train they were quite definitely inside the steel box that makes the carriage. For all we know, "riding on droid" might be the same thing -- it tells nothing about the form of the droid in question.
213374U Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 Don't read, then. I am exercising my God-given right to piss and moan. Yeah, and it's my God-given right to spam, derail and generically bastardize this thread to hell. But let's not get into what's our right and what's not, shall we? Oh, and Willy has something to tell you. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

That Beast can do a whole lot more than that REAL Virago Star Viper. The beast shows the style and the insanity of the Mandalorians. Makes them a little bit more than any other race. That Virago doesn't make them look powerful. The stupid beast does, because the stupid beast can lay waste to cities. Which goes along with Canderous speaking of how the Mandalorian carry weapons that destroy everything. KOTOR 2 must be completed
ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 The Basilisk War Droid doesn't look stupid <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm afraid it does. If I saw someone riding into battle on one of those I would wet myself laughing. While some EU geeks might get it, the majority of people would be wondering how they heck a mutant lobster got into a StarWars game. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now.

AngryTarsier Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 bioware?? how comes?? they made candy say stuff that i was so sure the basilisk looked like a mech with a protocanoon on its shoulder... or was it a description of a gundam wing episode where the anti-hero rides his mobile suit.. drops out of space.. gets his ubercannon and vaporises an entire island fortress.. while crying for the innocent people he killed...

But a Basilisk War Droid is a BAsilisk War Droid. I bet after seeing it in action they wouldn't think it looked stupid. KOTOR 2 must be completed

AngryTarsier Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 OMG he's right it does look like a molelobster... and yes I have seen it in action.. it does look fearsome... nah just cute really..
OneWithStrange Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 Darth Nuke, ever consider applying for a job with the LucasFilm continuity people? -Ben
ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 No ****, but seeing it in the game you can. <_< <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That would just make it look even more stupid.

213374U Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 Well that's your opinion sun-shine. But a Basilisk War Droid is a BAsilisk War Droid. So is what we have in K2. K2 is an official licensed product. You aren't licensed to sell toilet paper. You lose. Dosnt he say 6 cm of armour ? You do realise what 6 cm of armour would look like for a personal suit dont you? No, he didn't say 6 cm of armor. He said 15 cm. Talk about wearing a tank. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
