Yst Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 IF you had the guide right in front of you it might be possible. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 6 hours though? I still say it's impossible. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, I don't see how it'd be done, though on a planned and mapped out speedrun, it's probably possible. I think the kicker is that without doing sidequests and getting the XP involved, you'd be weaker, making it impossible to just blaze through the enemies in mob-heavy areas and necessitating a slow approach marked by lots of sitting and waiting to regen force points, whereas if you do the sidequests and gain the XP necessary to level up to the levels at which you become powerful and consequently blaze through the enemies with Form Storm and what have you, you've wasted a lot of time on the sidequests. It seems like a catch-22.
Jast Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 For Kotor I it took me 60 hours to complete it. It was my first real rpg, my character build was messed up, and I blundered through it, barely beating Malak at the end. Now since I know how to build an uber Malak killer it takes 48 hours, even with listening to ALL the dialog. What can I say, skipping alien dialog takes something away from me. TSL I completed in 38 hours, I knew how to build my character and the cap being over level 20 overpowered me, so there was no blundering around, but I was really in it for the story. Just in case you're saying. "Huh?" In Kotor I with my funky char build many fights took 5 or 6 retries to complete. :ph34r: And even when I did beat them, they took forever.

Each time you "miss", it's an extra couple of seconds tacked on to your total time defeating each enemy. I just can't see, barring using God-mode or warping to specific areas, how it can be accomplished in 6 hours.

GhostofAnakin Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 Or maybe he's lying. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I prefer to think of it as "exaggerated bragging". " "Console exclusive is such a harsh word." - Darque"Console exclusive is two words Darque." - Nartwak (in response to Darque's observation)
