Ivan the Terrible Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Specifically, things like Force Choke. Force Persuade, obviously, showed up quite often....but there was only about one or two instances in KOTOR where you could show off your Darth Vader impersonation and choke someone in conversation who was displeasing you. I wanna force choke people, dammit! I wanna see the fear in their eyes as they writhe helplessly in the grasp of my power, their throat slowly constricting as they desperately, silently plead for mercy! The only time I remember you being able to do that in conversation in KOTOR was at the Tatooine Cantina to some low-life Czerka flunky. I made this half-pony half-monkey monster to please you But I get the feeling that you don't like it What's with all the screaming? You like monkeys, you like ponies Maybe you don't like monsters so much Maybe I used too many monkeys Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you?

Ivan the Terrible Posted May 10, 2004 Author Share Posted May 10, 2004 Whoa! when do you force choke in dialogue, KOTOR? Once, at the Tatooine Cantina. You know that obnoxious Czerka guy who is whining about how Tatooine has 'garbage ore, good for nothing. My name is mud in three systems now!' If you take the route of, 'I don't like your tone', you eventually get to a part where you can say 'You WILL show me respect! (Use Force choke)' It's great. You don't kill him, unfortunately, but it says he avoids your eyes when you let him go and keeps silent.

Gorth Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Whoa! when do you force choke in dialogue, KOTOR? Couldn't you do that when killing the "terrorist" in the Republic enclave on Manaan ? “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

newc0253 Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 can light-side characters use force-choke? i can't remember. p.s. i liked force persuade but i don't think it should necessarily be more common. in fact, there should be more penalties for using it unwisely (at least for light-side characters). otherwise it just becomes unbalanced. dumber than a bag of hammers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan the Terrible Posted May 10, 2004 Author Share Posted May 10, 2004 can light-side characters use force-choke? i can't remember. You betcha.....but it costs more to use.

kefka Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Whoa! when do you force choke in dialogue, KOTOR? Couldn't you do that when killing the "terrorist" in the Republic enclave on Manaan ? You mean the mission given to you by Hulan? Well, that was technically illegal to begin with. I prefer the obnoxious Czerka guy on Tatooine. heh, he just didn't know what trouble he was getting into.

Darque Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 ^Agrees with the initial post. Jedi use their powers all the time in the movies I want more force power use options. While there were a lot of persuade options (which got a lot of use from me) I want more force choke options :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorth Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Wishlist... The ability to use Stun Droid on chatty droid, The ability to use Stasis Field on chatty people, the ability to create a bit of background "Force Lightning" to emphasize a point, the ability to use the Cause Fear (name?) when talking to kids, the ability to use Force Jump to get to a conclusion fast. The list is endless. Force powers are way underused “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Gorth Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 There were quite a few times you could intimidate people around the swoop track with your force powers. It seems to ring a bell somewhere. You could haggle for lower prices or free rides ? Same thing with "airport taxes" ? I didn't bother with Force Persuade after my first game, putting more points in the destructive and offensive powers. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Ivan the Terrible Posted May 10, 2004 Author Share Posted May 10, 2004 There were quite a few times you could intimidate people around the swoop track with your force powers.

Shdy314 Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 But not the topic title. Or even the subtitle. Besides it's the same gist as using force choke because you couldn't use force persuade on them like that without cackling wildly and getting DS points. I think you could piss off/scare almost every NPC in the tattoine swoop track office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enoch Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Why limit it to the powers you take at level-up? Even the basic force stuff could be useful in dialogue. PC: "Hey, is there any chance I could get through into that super-cool restricted area you're guarding?" Guard: "Keep dreaming, ya' robe-wearing pansy!" PC: "Oh I just wanted to take a look. Say, would you be interested in..." [Reaches out with The Force to pull the trigger of the blaster tucked into the Guard's severely overstressed belt] Of course, that would be a rather evil option. Lightside characters could, say, pull his weapon out of his reach, or create some kind of a diversion get him away from the 'general alarm' switch.

Use the force, Luke! "McDonald's taste damn good. I'd rtahe reat their wonderful food then the poisonous junk you server in your house that's for sure. What's funny is I'm not fat.
