Grand_Commander13 Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 psychohazards... You are, indeed, an idiot. I also wish I could play as a non-force user. 'twood be interesting and entertaining to have a KOTOR-style game where blasters, melee weapons, and non-robe armor were useful. Curious about the subraces in Pillars of Eternity? Check out
Sugrob Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 Bloody hell, just look at those poor sods begging for violence and gore. What a f*cked-up world did I end up living in... <_< It seems like the rating system's got it all backwards, since it's only the wee ones that watch a movie or play a game for sexuality, violence and gore... I think that pretty much makes my point for the initial question of the topic. Now I'll go and shoot myself, thank you.

What a f*cked-up world did I end up living in... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> A world where war and killing and gore and fighting is part of our dayly life. Only in videogames tought. :D
Grand_Commander13 Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 *in the name of humor, decides to totally ignore the second line* Ha ha. Yes, how could I forget the daily massacres on the mean streets on Canada? They totally slipped my mind. Ha ha ha. Like I said earlier: Violence is all well and good, so long as it isn't excessive. The more realistic the game is meant to/needs to be, the more realistic the violence is. Star Wars has always been less gorey in its violence (blasters rather than bullets, lightsabers rather than swords), so KOTOR should reflect that. Half-Life, on the other hand, is more of a survival-horrory FPS (like Resident Evil). They go more for a sci-fiish realism, and the gore gets turned up because of it.

Darth Reven Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 In response to first post I don't know if anyones already said this but your thinking of a game called FABLE.
luigi22_ Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 You have to remember that lightsabers instantly cauterize wounds, just like irons. So, whenever something is hacked off by a lightsaber, there's no blood or gore.
LoneWolf16 Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 One quick thing I'd like to get out there...Why be restricted to the d20 rules? Aren't games and other things, much better when they're original, and not just a repeat of something done prior to them? Hell, I say, let the guy be a Kobold in NWN if he wants to. Let the player decide what's best for them, not a collection of rules.............I'm done.....Oh wait....one other thing... The violence level of KOTOR...was a little lacking, even for a Star Wars game, but in TSL, you get to make people crush into a ball......I think that's a welcome addition for the violent types.......and those of us who appreciate the sound of cracking bones... *cough* I had thought that some of nature's journeymen had made men and not made them well, for they imitated humanity so abominably. - Book of Counted Sorrows 'Cause I won't know the man that kills me and I don't know these men I kill but we all wind up on the same side 'cause ain't none of us doin' god's will. - Everlast
EnderAndrew Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 There is a small ammount of blood with a lightsaber wound. Go watch ANH again. When Obi-Wan hacks off the arm in the Mos Eisley cantina, there is a puddle of blood. The wound gets cauterized, but I'm sure a small ammount of blood seeps in the split second.

Grand_Commander13 Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 And that, my friend, is a debate I won't get into. And by the way, I find it quite disturbing that you consider it an insult when I imply that Canada is a generally safe place to live. Very disturbing indeed...

GhostofAnakin Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 Sirus, I want to play a character that is... wait for the whole point of what I am saying... wait for it... THAT ARE IN THE FREAKING d20 RULES WHICH OBSIDIAN AND BIOWARE HAVE CHOSEN TO IGNORE! In the base rules of Dungeons and Dragons 2e kobold is not a playable race therefore it is unreasonable for you to want to play that, while in the Star Wars d20 RPG there are a 6 to 8 NON-FORCE USING classes to choose from that can easily fit within the framework of the Computer version of the rules of KotOR1 and KotOR2, so what I request is reasonable. As for those saying that the Star Wars is meant to be for Jedi/Sith only I would like to show you the entire Rogue Squadron/Wraith Squadron book series as well as numerous of other books in the franchise that have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH FORCE USERS! Thanks for playing. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I guess you still don't grasp that just because Bioware BORROWED items from the d20 ruleset, doesn't mean they have to follow it 100%. When I play hockey with my friends, we don't use all the actual NHL rules. We don't have off-sides. We don't have penalties. We don't have line changes. We don't play 3, 20-minute periods. Does that mean that we're not actually playing hockey? No. It means we're just not adhering to EVERY rule that professional hockey has in place. I also disagree that it would fit the current storyline to have a non-Jedi as the PC, mainly because the story happens to be about Jedi-Sith. If the story weren't so Sith-as-enemy oriented, then I'd agree with you. Heck, I've said numerous times that I'd enjoy playing a game and storyline as a non-Jedi. I think that'd be a fun game. But it just doesn't fit the KOTOR theme. That's not to say it doesn't fit a Star Wars game theme, just THIS specific Star Wars theme.

LoneWolf16 Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 For a game that doesnt really concern the jedi on as personal a level as KOTOR and its upcoming sequel, might I suggest Star Wars: Republic Commando? Or Star Wars: Battlefront? Both shooters, I know, but your not a jedi...In the very least. I had thought that some of nature's journeymen had made men and not made them well, for they imitated humanity so abominably. - Book of Counted Sorrows 'Cause I won't know the man that kills me and I don't know these men I kill but we all wind up on the same side 'cause ain't none of us doin' god's will. - Everlast
Grand_Commander13 Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 Uh... I'm pretty sure the part they're annoyed with is the fact that they can't RP a Jedi in a CRPG, not the fact that they can't not be a Jedi in an FPS. Curious about the subraces in Pillars of Eternity? Check out

ForceFullJon Posted September 7, 2004 Posted September 7, 2004 To the point where its realistic cause we all know that a lightsaber would truly dismember someone with the slightest slash B)
alanschu Posted September 7, 2004 Posted September 7, 2004 so what I request is reasonable. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Except that no other class than a Jedi class would work in the scope of the KOTOR storyline......sorry Hades.
alanschu Posted September 7, 2004 Posted September 7, 2004 There is a small ammount of blood with a lightsaber wound. Go watch ANH again. When Obi-Wan hacks off the arm in the Mos Eisley cantina, there is a puddle of blood. The wound gets cauterized, but I'm sure a small ammount of blood seeps in the split second. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If Lucas added it merely for the PG rating, then I'm sure that's the only reason why the blood was included. It could also very well be an oversight since it was the first movie being made.....because no other lightsaber blow had any blood in it. Uh... I'm pretty sure the part they're annoyed with is the fact that they can't RP a Jedi in a CRPG, not the fact that they can't not be a Jedi in an FPS No....Hades is upset because he has to play a Jedi in KOTOR......not because he cannot roleplay one. He simply does not WANT to roleplay one.
Grand_Commander13 Posted September 7, 2004 Posted September 7, 2004 I was gonna go back and edit that. But since you brought my messed up quote to attention, read it like this now: Uh... I'm pretty sure the part they're annoyed with is the fact that they must RP a Jedi in a CRPG, not the fact that they can't not be a Jedi in an FPS. Change the can't to the must, and it all makes more sense. Curious about the subraces in Pillars of Eternity? Check out
Exar Dulo Posted September 7, 2004 Posted September 7, 2004 A long time ago, before KotOR 1 i`ve read that the KotOR characters`ll heve over 65 bones/body parts, which can be severed.... But i didn`t see anything like that in the findl version.
