Speeders

[Darth Reven]

I think it would be nice if some times you could use a speeder for faster transportation. I know some people would use this as a way to avoid combat sometimes but mabey you cold be shot/knocked/force pushed off of it by your foes. This could save time from having to go back and forth between certian areas.

[Darque]

No.

 

At least not if the maps are as small as in KotOR.

[Adria Teksuni]

Yeah, they kept the Force Speed in there, so that should be fine.

[TSAdmiral]

If the mechanics and ratio worked in the same manner as KotOR then no. I don't like games that have overly massive areas in which there is more to see than do. Anything that usually gives vehicles to you and tricks you as "epic" is one of these types of games.

[Leferd]

The only way I can see speeders being included in the game is as an out-of-gameplay traveling medium ala ebon hawk but in-planet. Cut scene sort of thing.

you would hav tp hav 3 speeders and would be in your pocket and than expand?

[mkreku]

This is probably as far off topic as you can get, but I just read today that Gothic 3 will be 4 times larger than Gothic 2 and they are seriously considering mounts! Damn, that would rock! I've always wanted to speed through the lands of Gothic

 

Ahem, but I voted no for KotOR2. The maps are too small and they would feel even smaller if you could speed through them.

[Darth Reven]

If the maps were larger such as the desert around ancorhead the speeders could be useful

[GhostofAnakin]

no thanks.

 

i'd rather walk/run.

[DanMaxis]

They said the maps are goin to be much more bigger than kotor1, so if they're goin to be HUGE, speeders could be handy.

[Grand_Commander13]

Even if the dimensions were twice as large (four times the area), they'd still be too small for speeders (well, speeders that go at speeder speed). They'd be too large for walking though. But still too small for speeders.

[EvilTyger]

Actually, they said they would average about the same. Basically, Speeder would be good as an inverse of the 'return to the Ebon Hawk' feature, but without world like Kashyyk were you were doing more running than anything.

For transportation no, but as an added "chase" plot yes. I would gladly accept it if a combat element was added to the races as well...a bit like the random attack before you enter Hyperspace in the Ebon Hawk.

[Darth Reven]

what if there was a chase like the one in Return of the Jedi. That would be fun

[Whitemithrandir]

Also a tad OT, but they pulled off the speeder fights EXTREMELY well in Jedi Academy, or so I thought. It felt like jousting, of sorts. You could also force push/pull the enemies off their speeders. The slow motion crashes were just icing on the cake.

[starwarskid15_19]

ya and it would give the world the feeling of being larger

[Darth Ravok]

I like this idea

[EnderAndrew]

Well, they said no new minigames, but hopefully the swoop races have been improved enough to satiate people's desires to have speeder chases.
