Should Tatooine and/or Kashyyk be in KotOR 3

[Calax]

Well Alderran didn't really make an appearance in Sith war, It was just mentioned as the Qel-Droma Homeworld. Also Yavin 4 had been consumed by a firestorm at the end and finially Corellia might not have been put in place by that point. (meaning that they were moved at some indeterminate point in the past before the books movies but 4000 years is a long time so...

If there ever was a completely impertinent question to ask about a potential K3, this is it. Or at least it will be down there with people talking about hoods.

it's all about immersion and roleplay...being able to toggle a hood/helmet, customizable lightsaber hilts, disguises, being able to see ALL attire that you equip, being able to change the color of your undertunic (as in BG) are not showstoppers to be sure, but these are things that would add alot more immersion to the game...basically, a somewhat easy way to make alot of people happy.

 

also on that list: lightsabers visibly holstered with a selection of Force-draw animations.

or being able to jump and to flips and in general be an acrobat (dukoo's little showoff of a flip in the begininng of ROTS) or just the ability to choose when you force jump.

Look, I don't want them to recycle the same planets over and over again in KotOR, but I think having at least ONE of these two: Kashyyk or Tatooine, would really help immerse people in the Star Wars universe. Plus, as I said before (in my earlier posts in this topic), it makes a whole lot of sense to include them in KotOR 3.

I think Yavin 4 would be a great idea, and so would some others some people here mentioned, but they only make a brief appearance in the movies and so wouldn't feel THAT familiar to the player.

So yeah, definitely, Yavin 4 etc are great ideas, as long as either Kashyyk or Tatooine are there as well. Planets which are really ICONIC in the Star Wars universe.

 

All I'm asking for in KotOR 3 is a great story and characters, all the things to rival the previous instalments, and a wonderful immersive Star Wars experience.

I know that's what you want as well. So think about it: is it really so much to ask?

[EnderAndrew]

It should be noted that I didn't get to go to Yavin IV in KOTOR:1, because I had the game on XBox and don't pay for Live.

[ShadowPaladin V1.0]

I thought it was space station rather than the planet itself? Like you I played it on the Xbox and have no particular interest in live.

[EnderAndrew]

The Massassi temples on Yavin IV are very important in the KOTOR era however.

[ShadowPaladin V1.0]

Dont they have some sith lord or other trapped there? Or is that later in the timeline ?

[EnderAndrew]

That's where Exar Kun made his last stand, and killed countless Jedi before dying himself there. And if the EU is to be trusted, he became a Force Ghost there.

[ShadowPaladin V1.0]

I'm sure people would love to meet Exar Kun. All I get when I hear the name now though is a vision of that Exar Kun Megatron page that gets posted here.

Of course not, but the question is whether those places are essential to that goal. I have proposed Kashyyyk myself before, but others said that we had already done plenty there in KotOR1, and I've come around to that way of thinking. If there is to be a jungle planet, then I'd much rather have Myrkr.

 

As for Tatooine, it's just been done to death. It seems no Star Wars movie (except ESB, which was the best IMO, though that might not be the reason...) can live without going to Tatooine, and I've really seen it enough times now.

 

Though there is Star Wars history written all over worlds like Tatooine and Yavin IV, I don't think we need to visit them. Star Wars keeps inventing new planets, so it doesn't seem so important. Especially not if Alderaan and Coruscant are in KotOR3, as I hope they are.

 

And as I've said before, if the point of putting Yavin IV in there is to establish ties to Naga Sadow, then I'd much rather visit his hidden base on Khar Shian in the Sith Empire.

[EnderAndrew]

When I heard there were temples and that there were multiple Sith Lords in KOTOR:2, I suspected the end game would be on Yavin IV with Exar Kun.

Yes, Exar Kun. But he remains trapped until the Jedi Academy trilogy of novels, so I'd much rather give Yavin IV a wide berth than risk messing with continuity.

You could always dig him up and then retrap him.

 

Reminds me a little of a D&D game I once did. The party released Tiamat from a mine when they were little tiny adventurers. The campaign then revolved around them traveling around getting various items and enlisting help before she became strong enough to regain her full power. In the end the battled her using the artifacts and the allies they collected and resealed her ready for the next clueless fool who came along :D

 

Dosnt have much to do with KOTORI and II's plots, but as a less scripted adventure it certainly has possibilities. If you were a Padawan you could either set out to destroy Exar (or learn from him which would involve doing various tasks for him mirror image of things you would be doing to stop him).

 

In the end he would either betray you , or you he. Or you would become a powerful enough Jedi to reseal him.

 

So the continuity wouldnt be damaged at all as far as I can see. But I'm by no means an EU buff.

 

I'm a much bigger fan of the some poor smuck being in the wrong place than being some sort of chosen one.

Yes, the Yavin 4 moon is not in the KOTOR games...only a space station and a Rodian merchant.

 

Yavin 4 appears in ANH (the Rebel base was there) and Yavin 4 is an extremely important place for EU continuity....Exar Kun trapped his force ghost in the pyramids there and Naga Sadow rested there in suspended animation for several centuries before being woken up by Freedon Nadd.

 

It all depends on what they want to do with the story. If they want to mess with continuity and show us the red-skinned Sith of antiquity, then Yavin 4 is actually a very good candidate for K3.

[Darth Nuke]

Both Kashyyk and Tatooine have had their fun in KOTOR. Not saying they can't make cameo appearances like Coruscant did in KOTOR 2, but not playable planets.

 

If I want a jungle planet then I'll stick with Mandalore.

 

 

Yavin 4 is good, but needs to watch what it does with Kun. You can't revive him, you can't do much with him. If you do then things get kinda stupid.

 

Yavin with a small Kun quest still has the many temples and the Lost City of the Jedi. However again I'll stick with Utapau as my planet with possible Jedi entertainment, since it is believed to be one of the birth places of the Jedi Order.

[ShadowPaladin V1.0]

You can't revive him, you can't do much with him.

Why not?

[Darth Flatus]

It would mess up the EU timeline!!! Yeah like it matters... <_<

As long as he's back were he needs to be does it really matter ?

 

He wouldnt even have to leave his tomb.

[Calax]

Actually Kun is awake and cognisent the entire time that he was there. so he could act as a dark lord mentor if you really wanted to. but you couldn't kill him.

[User Name]

Some great ideas here, actually. I'm beginning to think Yavin 4 would really be a great place to visit.

Anyway the problem with Coruscant, as great an idea as it might be to include it in KotOR 3, is that it's so central and important etc to the Star Wars universe, that it would really be disastrous if they messed it up.

Know what I mean?

I think it would be best if Coruscant DID feature in KotOR 3, but you only get to explore the Jedi Temple or the Senate or some 'small' part like that.

Oh, and I'm sticking to my guns concerning Tatooine... Although I've loosened my grip: Just a small appearance of the planet I think would be best. Not too small though. A 'cameo', like someone said.

 

I really think it's crucial for this game to have a real good ol' Star Wars feel to it.

 

Anyway I hope they announce KotOR 3 as being officially in development soon... I know it's still not a certainty that it's going to happen at all, but that's what they said about KotOR 2 (in fact, most said there wasn't going to be a sequel at all), so..

You wouldnt in the traditional sense, just reseal him. You would probably have to fight him, but it would be something along the same lines as the cave on Korriban, It would be more about your will overcoming his.
