Tayl Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 Romances need to be removed from crpg's. period. Crappy romances need to be removed. But...I guess I agree with you then, since I have yet to see a good romance in a cRPG.

kefka Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 Totally agree. Maybe someday we will be pleasantly surprised. Till then, keep them out of crpg's. A total waste of dev time. period. I agree too. I thought the Bastila 'romance' was especially bad since it wasn't really a romance at all, just inane flirting and cheesy dialog that made me cringe. And then bastila ends it faster than it began. hmm, no thanks. Truly a waste of time.
Chairchucker Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 Are we forced into Jedihood? Or can I take 20 levels of Scoundrel?
Frosty_V2.1 Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 I'm indifferent about it really, I still think it's better to keep trying (and is probably expected being a sequel) to write full romances so at least they will have some more experience there, either that or don't do it at all for any games in the future (or near future anyway). KotOR was too short to make it seem meaningful or involving with the way that BioWare wrote it anyway IMO. Plus there is a certain cheese factor that I am constantly aware of
Akari Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 Will there be a new music score? And if so, is Jeremy Soule composing? It will be an all new musical score. I'm not personally certain who's doing it. -Akari
Akari Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 Lots of questions! I can take a stab at a couple of them that relate more to programming issues. - Will the game be moddable from the get-go? No more or less moddable than KotOR1 was when it came out. - Will there be new locations made just for this game? Of course. - Will ranged weapons be deadly? We're taking steps to make ranged weapons more useful. - Will the minigames be optional this time? I'm pretty sure one of the articles out there said that they will all be optional. I don't know any different from that, personally. -Akari
kefka Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 Will there be a new music score? And if so, is Jeremy Soule composing? It will be an all new musical score. I'm not personally certain who's doing it. -Akari Ok, thanks Akari. A new score is good.
Meshugger Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 Will there be a new music score? And if so, is Jeremy Soule composing? It will be an all new musical score. I'm not personally certain who's doing it. -Akari Maybe that should be added to the unofficial FAQ.

Meshugger Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 Romances need to be removed from crpg's. period. 1. One of the reasons why KotOR1 was so successful was the Revan/Bastila/Carth romance. 2. It's Star Wars So KotORII without romance, it just ain't gonna happen!

Jonny_Evil Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 As the magazine articles are already wrong or unclear on a couple of points could you reveal whether the PC is Revan or if he/she is returning as an NPC? A dev answer one way or another would be nicely definitive. Thank you.
kefka Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 So KotORII without romance, it just ain't gonna happen! yeah, you're probably right. *sigh* It's true that many people enjoyed the romances in Kotor. I didn't, personally, but then, the game doesn't exist only for me...
newc0253 Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 some questions for the devs: any plans to fix the inventory interface? is Bioware involved at all? or is it just you and Lucasarts? will i be able to cut someone's arm off with a lightsabre this time? will what remains of the jedi council in KOTOR2 be as pompous and annoying as the one in KOTOR1? is enlargeable breast size a force power? will there be ewoks in KOTOR2? and if i buy my copy of KOTOR2 in germany, will they still be killable? if mickey's a mouse, and pluto's a dog, then what's goofy? twilek porn - yes or no? dumber than a bag of hammers

I didn't, personally, but then, the game doesn't exist only for me... Just look at the bioware forums and you'll understand, and all the fanfics that's out there too. Just go to http://www.kotorfanfic.com and look at sheer number of them "Some men see things as they are and say why?""I dream things that never were and say why not?"- George Bernard Shaw"Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man."- Friedrich Nietzsche "The amount of energy necessary to refute bull**** is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it." - Some guy
Aegeri Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 According to my flatmate: MORE LESBIAN SUB PLOTS PLZ KTHXBYE KEKEKEKEKEE No further mention of him will be made (I promise). Boss: You're fired. Me: Ummm will you let me have my job if I dance for you? Boss: No, I don't think so- Me: JUST LET ME DANCE *Dances*
kefka Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 Just look at the bioware forums and you'll understand, and all the fanfics that's out there too. I don't visit the Bioware forums much, probably for that very reason...
kefka Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 btw, i've always thought it weird that fanfics are so popular. I mean, everyone has their own thoughts about the characters they play, so why on earth would they want to read someone else's? "keep my mental image of revan intact", they scream! Then promptly go and read a fanfic. hmm.
kefka Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 Anyway, we're getting slightly off-topic here. This was supposed to be a "Questions to the Devs" thread.
Winterfox Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 btw, i've always thought it weird that fanfics are so popular. I mean, everyone has their own thoughts about the characters they play, so why on earth would they want to read someone else's? "keep my mental image of revan intact", they scream! Then promptly go and read a fanfic. hmm. Eh, some people want to see continuations, and as it turns out, a lot of people's visions of Revan surprisingly concur. I've had a few people who tell me my Revan's almost exactly as they've imagined their own. Me, I read fanfiction because... 's always interesting to see other people's take on certain characters, ideas and such. Besides, some of the fanfics are phenomenally good, and good reading is always welcome.
newc0253 Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 But yeah, Pluto's a puppy. Goofy's a dog. so when pluto grows up, he will talk and wear clothes? dumber than a bag of hammers
Meshugger Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 Yes, some more questions: 1) Will Character (mostly partymembers) & planetary info be revealed at/after E3? 2) Compared to KotOR, will Obsidian take more time to make more "fulfilling" endings?
