Jediphile Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 Not to outquote you, but where does the quote from your sig come from? I think I've seen it just recently, but can't place it now. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Kreia tells that to Atris in KotOR 2 IIRC. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes. She says it to Atris during the cutscene, when she goes to confront her on Telos. Visit my KotOR blog at Deadly Forums.
ap76 Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 I am a few posts late, but the holding cell and more realistic bounty hunting would be a great addition to a game. More non-lethal resolutions would be good as well
Jediphile Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 I don't know... Bounty-hunting doesn't seem particularly well suited to a plot-driven game, somehow. And whatever K3 becomes (if it becomes anything), I want primary focus to be on the plot and the characterization of the main characters. Everything else is secondary to that IMHO.

If it's side-quests like in K1 and K2, then fine, but some people give me the impression they want a bounty hunter game, which I don't. I want K3 to be a resolution to the plot we've seen develop over the last two games. Closure for Revan and Exile is a must, and so they must be central to the plot, even if they don't participate much. Visit my KotOR blog at Deadly Forums.

I think a Bounty Hunter role playing game would be an interesting experience, but it is far more important to resolve the KoTOR story.
DAWUSS Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 Maybe it could be included in redeveloping the story, but I agree, the Revan/Exile/Unknown Regions/True Sith story is first and foremost DAWUSS Dawes ain't too bright. Hitting rock bottom is when you leave 2 tickets on the dash of your car, leave it unlocked hoping someone will steal them & when you come back, there are 4 tickets on your dashboard.

astr0creep Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 I think they also need a story that is detached enough to allow players who never played K1 and K2 to get in and enjoy it just the same. Like K2 was. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
funcroc Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 http://www.totalvideogames.com/news/Obsidi...9640_5665_0.htm Obsidian On Star Wars: Knights of The Old Republic 3We'd be happy to do KOTOR3 if that's what LucasArts wants us to do... Speaking to TVG about the in-development NeverWinter Nights 2, Obsidian's Feargus Urquhart was also happy to discuss with TVG the current "will it/won't it" situation surrounding LucasArts Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 3. "We have been talking with LucasArts to do KOTOR3 since August 2004 and we hoped to do it since KOTOR2 was done. LucasArts is thinking what they want to do with it and we would happily make KOTOR3, if that's what LucasArts wants to do." So it seems ideas are on the table, whether or not LucasArts will conclude this trilogy faster than they do with others, however, remains to be seen. We'll have the full interview with Urquhart soon...
Meshugger Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 Speaking from a financial POW, where's the reason NOT to do it? KotOR II has already sold 1.5 million worldwide (The Xbox version, PC is still unknown) and Lucasarts has a developer that would more than anything do it in an instant. ???

bandua Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 Looks like KotORIII is getting cancelled before even getting announced: Canadian videogame developer BioWare Corp. has today announced the cancellation of one of its upcoming unannounced projects, an unnamed sequel to the best selling Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic series that was in production for both PC and the Xbox 360 Videogame System from Microsoft Corp. The game was previously on track for a Holiday 2006 release by publisher LucasArts EC. Link

Bastilla_Skywalker Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 (edited) Great sum of news on Kotor III news peoples. Keep up with the great work. :D Edited April 2, 2006 by Bastilla_Skywalker Press Teh Button
Darth Hades Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 I just had to back comment on this... All the weapons of Boba Fett and anyone from the movies is 4000 years after KotOR. It's not unreasonable to except the technology to have advanced in between, and that it is therefore more limited in KotOR games. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Aside from ship and armor variations, if it took 4000 years to design flame throwers and jet packs....then it is very unreasonable Especially in comparison to, oh I don't know...STEALTH GENERATORS.
Dark Lord Shawn Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 Have you notice on both kotor 1&2 the energy shields runs out quickly.
Bokishi Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 Well if they lasted forever the game would be too easy. Current 3DMark
Gabrielle Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 My characters are usually strong enough to take the hits, plus I usually have meds or force heal on hand.
