qt3.14159 Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 Of course, if you're playing as a female, why would you *want* to talk Bastila down? I absolutely could NOT stand her. All you ever get is nag, nag, nag, nag. I recently started playing a male game for the first time and was so completely shocked when Bastila ended up being kinda likeable. She softens up sooooooo much and so fast compared to when you're a female. Maybe the men developers just don't know how to write friendly female interactions or something. Anybody here catch that? All I understood was 'very'.
Deadly_Nightshade Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 I never found her that annoying... odd... "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
qt3.14159 Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 Was your first play through as a male character? I think if it had been for me, I wouldn't have ever developed the dislike I have for her because she warms up *SO* much more quickly. So if you play as a female after already liking her, you probably don't find her so annoying. But honestly, I don't think I willingly talked to her after Taris on my first game. Anybody here catch that? All I understood was 'very'.

So if you play as a female after already liking her, you probably don't find her so annoying. But honestly, I don't think I willingly talked to her after Taris on my first game. I LOVE Bastila (if you couldn't tell), but I'm also aware that a lot of female gamers can't stand her. Just like a lot of male gamers dislike Carth. Originally, I wanted to hate her simply because she's so much prettier than the female PC choices. The thing about Bastila is, she's VERY disapproving of EVERYTHING a female Revan does in KotOR. "You didn't save me, I saved myself!", "These feelings you feel for Carth are WRONG!" "Beware the darkside! Nevermind that you've been playing lightsided the whole game, and help people that I just wanted to blow off!" She also doesn't respond well at all to teasing. The more you tease Carth, the funner he is, but Bastila just calls you 'childish' for trying: "I'm a hut in disguise" really ticks her off. But later on, she starts to feel like she falls short, and her vulnerability becomes apparent. That, and I just love Jennifer Hale's voice acting. She had me convinced that her accent was genuine (yank that I am). So, yeah, I like Bastila. She's pretty, funny (like when she force trips Mission), and great to have along in a fight. Check out my KOTOR fan vids on YouTube. And no, they're not of legos.
Deadly_Nightshade Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 I think I played female and then male - but I am not sure, I know I did both and it's been awhile. "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

She softens up sooooooo much and so fast compared to when you're a female. Maybe the men developers just don't know how to write friendly female interactions or something. I know exactly what you mean. Bastila irked me from the moment I met her. I think its because I liked to playfully tease Carth and he thought it was funny, but when you joked with Bastila she went off on a tirade. I get that she is just trying to make sure you don't fall to the dark side and all but seriously, I'd like her a whole lot more if she'd just lighten up a little bit. Bmjewell Photography♥
walkerguy Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 First time I played K1 I said I was a hutt. I never said that again. Twitter | @Insevin
Swxpert Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 i think bastila was jealous of having another woman in the party, juhani/mission don't count, carth might though
Deadly_Nightshade Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 ...juhani/mission... Why do they not count? The only reasons I can come up with is because Juhani is a lesbian and Mission is a kid.

Deadly_Nightshade Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 Woman = Female = Juhani. Fail. "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
walkerguy Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 (edited) Who says Juhani is a female? Are Cathar really that alike, to have just 2 genders? Same question for all SW characters. Well as far as we can tell, yes. Male and Female. Man and Woman do more relate to humans, as well, yes. Edited April 29, 2008 by walkerguy Twitter | @Insevin
babydol Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 Just to join the argument: woman. #1 DOES specifically say "human", but check out #2. And I don't want to hear any nonsense about Juhani not being a "person". Check out my KOTOR fan vids on YouTube. And no, they're not of legos.

Nick_i_am Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 I guess women would be alien to most of you. ooooh, burn. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Tale Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 I guess women would be alien to most of you. ooooh, burn. They're icky. And have cooties. Luckily, there are none on the internet. So we're safe here. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Tale Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 (edited) Person=human/alein living sentient being, etcWoman=human female Female=non-male alein or human You do not go around calling Rodians and Twi'leks women. You just don't. Seems nitpicky. Most alien species in fiction are inexplicably humanoid. If you're going to be specific that they have to be Homo Sapien Sapiens, you can't even technically call the "humans" of Star Wars that, as the species doesn't share the same genetic line, but are merely a close analogue. Though I do see your point. Edited April 29, 2008 by Tale "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
qt3.14159 Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 Ok, I'm rofl... I've always thought that Juhani being a lesbian is rather a silly idea... I mean, really, once you stop having sex with your own species, does it really matter what the sex is of the person you're having it with? Anyhow, I never can resist saying the hutt line to Bastila and she gets just as pissy everytime. The girl seriously needs to lighten up! /*waves her cootie infested hand at Tale* I'm not touching youuuuuu! Anybody here catch that? All I understood was 'very'.

I mean, really, once you stop having sex with your own species, does it really matter what the sex is of the person you're having it with? Of course it matters. They're still humanoid and, including Juhani's case, mammalian. The parts probably line up. /*waves her cootie infested hand at Tale* I'm not touching youuuuuu! AHHHH! *runs* Edited April 29, 2008 by Tale "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
babydol Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 See, I thought my 1st play-thru that Juhani just needed a friend and another girl to talk to. Then I got to the roof of the temple on the unknown planet, and I was like, Huh? By this time, I'm always well into the Carth romance. But I've learned that it's ok to respond to Juhani's come on AND have Carth. Unlike Mass Effect, BTW, where it's either hunky Kaidan OR blue-alien-girl Liara. Those two confront you together and actually make you choose between them. Check out my KOTOR fan vids on YouTube. And no, they're not of legos.
