jodo kast 5 Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 (edited) I honestly think Taris was better.Peragus was interesting nearing the end,but was EXTREMELY boring in the beginning IMHO. Edited May 30, 2006 by jodo kast 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaxen83 Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 (edited) I feel inclined to agree with Taris, yet if we look at how it was made, it has some sort of resemblance to Bioware's NWN. I leave that to people to decide what they like. Somehow, I find that OE's Peragus shows some advancement in time concerning a KOTOR storyline, although it isn't exactly as substantially exciting as K1's Taris. And it is not just Peragus, but other parts of K2, except for some systems like Onderon, which is reminescent of a glorious forgotten past. After having played K1 several times and leaving it aside for around 4-5 months and then playing it another time, sort of find it tedious to have to negotiate through Taris. K1 is more like a long game where a PC has to travest many obstacles tiringly before being able to deal with Malak in a classic lightsaber finale. Edited May 30, 2006 by vaxen83 Deep from within...

DarkAngle Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Taris seemed better put togather than Peragus, which seemed confusing and not very...well...playable! It seemed forced. (Marine Axiom) Sweat Dries Blood Clots Bones Heal SUCK IT UP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xard Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Stupid question. At least in Taris there were things to do and interesting missions. How can it be a no ob build. It has PROVEN effective.

aerowars617 Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 (edited) Who voted for Peragus! lol I'd take Taris anyday. Infact I like Taris, cos there is alot more to do, alot more interesting stuff, and you pick up 2/3 of your whole NPC team Edited May 30, 2006 by aerowars617 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Architect Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 (edited) Stupid question. At least in Taris there were things to do and interesting missions. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This is why I thought Taris was better too, in terms of roleplaying, Taris was much more enjoyable, Peragus got boring, it's not as bad as what most people make it out to be, some parts on Peragus were interesting (thanks to KOTOR II's excellent writing, characters and a wonderful rich, deep story) but Taris was better, Peragus was too unnecessarily long, fighting inferior droids and laughable Sith Assassins got very IMHO.

Musopticon? Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Wait, how can you compare a tutorial level with a real planet? A more apt comparison would be Peragus and the K1 starting ship(which name escapes my mind now). kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

Darth Drabek Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 I think many of you are missing the point of Peragus. It's supposed to be empty, because of events your prescence has (inadvertently) caused! Yeah, it's a drag on repeated playthroughs, but that first time through it provided a very interesting mystery angle. I thought it was ballsy of the writers to tell the story mostly through holovid recordings. baby, take off your beret everyone's a critic and most people are DJs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This comparison between Peragus and Taris is fair IMO, as Peragus isnt a tutorial, its just a huge gap filler between Opening title and Telos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Master Renson Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Yes, the Endar Spire and the Ebon Hawk are more compatible. I have to take Taris because there was soo much to do, I still leave tons of stuff unfinished. Peragus was interesting,though. Lots of remains and the pushover droids made for EASY xp.

Revan1127 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 (edited) On Peragus the holos were intresting but it got boring after away and took longer to play so my vote went to taris Edited May 31, 2006 by Revan1127 "Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both."

vaxen83 Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 (edited) Have to say that the first game had some interesting sidequests that could be explored. TSL had just good graphics in terms of its level design and little of anything else. Edited June 1, 2006 by vaxen83 Deep from within... Victims live a life of fantasy.

aerowars617 Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 hmm, I found the graphics in KotOR II to be worse than its predecessors. I never could get the same "shine" and lighting as K1 K2 was duller (graphically) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaxen83 Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Well, TSL probably would not be able to do what KOTOR did exactly. To some extent, it did have slight differences in terms of lighting. It wasn't exactly duller, but might have been a dark game. (Many parts of TSL did not have exactly bright lighting effects) Besides most kinds of lighting in K2 were more like neon lights, like in Telos' cantina, on signboards against walls. Put simply, there were small sources of light rather than bright ones being used. Some points: K2's Sith assassination story was executed poorly NPCs were few And also modified lighting that K1 used Deep from within... Victims live a life of fantasy.
