February 13, 200619 yr Having been on these boards for quite some time, and having seen the Bio boards as well, I can't help but notice that Bastila is quite a popular character among fans (myself included). She wins most, if not all the "hottest character" threads on these boards, wins many "best character" discussions, and seems to be one of, if not the most popular KOTOR character (aside from Revan). The character seems to have her own cult following. So, I was just wondering if maybe LA might decide to milk the popularity of Bastila a little more. She was almost a no-show in K2, to the disappointment of many. But would it be possible, or even a good idea, to make another KOTOR game that focuses on Bastila exclusively, or at least includes her as a major character in the storyline? Would such a game be well-recieved by the fans? Maybe they could do a game focusing on pre-KOTOR, such as her experiences in her Jedi training. Or maybe the story could take place post-K2, and serve almost as a sidestory or intermission between K2 and K3? Or am I just completely way off base here? Discuss.
February 13, 200619 yr Good idea....but that game shouldn't be KOTOR 3, it should be a seperate one Edited February 13, 200619 yr by jorian
February 13, 200619 yr Great Idea! (w00t) Deadly_Nightshade "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot
February 13, 200619 yr If the game was made to be an actual good game and not a money-making gimmick... Go for it
February 13, 200619 yr Don't they say in KOTOR2 that Bastila dies? Or something? I think when you're talking to Malak, and you say something like "Bastila didn't join you," and he replies with something like "not at first, but eventually she did and died?" or am I making this up? I think it would be interesting, but where would it go? Maybe a prequel, ending with her defeating Revan, anything before that she would be too young. And KOTOR3 should be more centered around Revan and all the unanswered questions.
February 13, 200619 yr Zahech you are insane for thinking that. It is that she joined them later on. Just say, many Bastila fans will gleefully torture anyone if Bastila had died in Kotor 2. Bastila is too popular to be killed off. To me, that is why she should be killed off for Kotor 3.
February 14, 200619 yr Author Yeah, but how would an idea like this work, though? I know someone mentioned above that it might focus on Bastila before K1, ending up to the confrontation with Revan. That might be interesting, especially if it involves a battle between the two. Unfortunately, it would also contradict the storyline because the two never actually "fought".
February 14, 200619 yr Kill off Bastila? No, no we can not have that. Think of the poor fanboys out there who's hearts would be broken. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
February 14, 200619 yr Yeh, no way u gonna kill off Bastila Are you referring to something like "The Adventures of Obi Wan" (or whatever it was?). Well I never played that but I heard it was easily seen as money milking gimic but if it was a well made game I'd go for it...

February 14, 200619 yr Action FPS starring Bastila (w00t) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
February 14, 200619 yr Yeh, no way u gonna kill off Bastila <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We of the Bastila fan club have 2 much money for u 2 do that... Deadly_Nightshade "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot
February 14, 200619 yr Action FPS starring Bastila (w00t) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Like Jedi Academy! Current 3DMark
February 14, 200619 yr Like Jedi Academy! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually, if you play Jedi Academy as a female Jaden Korr, then the voice is done by the same person who did Bastila's voice (Hale).
February 14, 200619 yr Omg >.> I don't think she has one of the deepest stories, just because she is voted as one of the hottest characters doesn't mean (at least to me) that there should be a game centered around her. I know there are games like DoA or Lara Croft, but c'mon this is a rpg game made in America! Maybe you should ask some Japanese company developers, I am sure they would make a hentai Bastila game if the price was right >.> I know everyone has their personal favorites, but still I am not rooting for.."Adventures of Atton: The Other Han Solo" or something >.>

February 14, 200619 yr Author I thought she had a great backstory. Although I think her biggest character development is during K1, not before, hence most of her defining backstory *is* K1. As for her character, I think it was fairly deep itself. It may be second only to Kreia and Revan, judging how the majority of fans have stated. Anyway, I wouldn't mind seeing a game like this, but as others have said, I'd want it to be a good game, not just a money-making venture.
February 14, 200619 yr People would play it to gawk at her. <_< A good game would be about Canderous, or actually showing what REALLY happened at the Mandalorian Wars. Edited February 14, 200619 yr by Phaedra36
February 14, 200619 yr I think people need to stop being prequel crazed. Stories are meant to progress forward, not backwards.
February 14, 200619 yr what about just a regular KotOR game where although the not main character, she isn't discarded like in K2. oh no, let's just have Revan running off leaving her all alone after all that hard K1 seducti...I mean work Pure Pazaak - The Stand-alone Multiplayer Pazaak Game (link to Obsidian board thread) Pure Pazaak website (big thank you to fingolfin)
February 14, 200619 yr This is one of the reasons I am looking forward to NWN 2. Someone will make a Star Wars conversion for it and we will finally have a KotOR like game with a tools set.
