GhostofAnakin Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Reading the Hanharr thread in the spoilers section got me thinking about this topic. Has anyone played the game with sub titles turned off? I'm not sure if it'd be possible to do that and still follow all portions of the story, especially if you have Hanharr in your party (unless you understand Wookiee), and when you meet aliens who don't speak in Basic.

GhostofAnakin Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 I did not know that. I'm tempted to try, but I wasn't sure what would happen when non-Basic speaking characters talked. I suppose I could have just tried it, but I'm lazy that way and decided to ask people here.

SteveThaiBinh Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Reading the Hanharr thread in the spoilers section got me thinking about this topic. Has anyone played the game with sub titles turned off? Nope. First time through I want make sure I catch what everyone says, after that I want to be able to click through boring bits that I remember from last time. There are powerful and dramatic scenes that I don't click through, but then there are also shopkeepers and the beastkeeper on Onderon who bores me rigid. Quick scan of the subtitles - yup, I remember this - click. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostofAnakin Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 Could make for some interesting dialogue responses though. Alien: "[says a bunch of stuff you can't understand because subtitles are off]" Exile: "Yes, I agree to this deal." Kreia: "You fool! You just sold me to that Jawa!" Hanharr: "Rrrraaaaaarrrgh!!!" T3-M4: "Beep dweet! Dooooooooooooo!" Random Mandalorian girl: "Ki pu na! Bo na na ki chu!" Exile: [facing the computer monitor] "Turn back on those damn subtitles will ya!"

Palmtree Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I've played through KOTOR I with subtitles off, but it didn't really improve the experience, and didn't feel any more cinematic. It was really boring having to sit through the conversations though, and since then I've always played with subtitles on, so I could just read everything and skip past it. I've never played KOTOR II without subtitles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoM_Solaufein Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I like it on. Kind of hard to understand those aliens and their gibberish.

Silvershadow Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I only played with the subtitles on the first time I played... after that I turned them off. I find I'm more likely to pay attention to the dialogues if the subtitles are off... If they're on, I tend to just skip ahead and to not really bother listening to what's being said.

vaxen83 Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 The only part of the game where no subtitles are provided is for Nihilus's part with Visas. Deep from within... Victims live a life of fantasy. Some see salvation as an act of God, a few look within for it. 朱宣澧 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julonia17 Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 I played the game with the subtitles off once. I noticed more of the dialogue, but it was a lot slower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
