NuGgEt Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Okay, I realise that this is kind of far off and off-topic, but these certain screen shots have been on my mind for a while. and who better to ask about them, than the players and fans. Okay, I was very bored one night, and looking at the old Kotor trailers, art screenshots etc. And there were a few that were interesting in the X-box ones. First off: look at the very first one, you have two lightsabers, and if im not mistaken, yourinside the black vulakar base!! how did they get them that soon in the game?? okay, than go to number two, it looks light a cutscene with your partner on the first ship(i forget its name) and nothing remotly close happened to me on that ship. again, did the x-box version have an extra cut scene? now skip forward to #13, what ship is this?? it looks like the first ship you were on, and not even close to the laviathan. Also, I thought you couldnt have Zalbaar with you on the Laviathan. explan. Now go to #28. Now I know for a FACT that this is an apartment complex on Taris.I also know for a FACT that you can not get HK-47 on Taris, I also know that you do NOT have force powers on Taris. And the last one: #32, You are clready in the Taris shadowlands, and you clearly have a lightsaber. How do you get a lightsaber on Taris??? There is a small chance you took it from bastilla, but how would one get one of the two secret colors NOT AVAILABLE ON X-BOX? Please, Somebody explain these to me, I wish to know if the X-Box players experienced more gameplay than PC Gamers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand_Commander13 Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 These are all either screenshots taken in development before things were finalized, or taken using the galaxy droid glitch (a "glitch" where you can go back to places you've already visited).

uncdeez Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 To add to what Grand_Commander13 said you can do whatever you want when you're developing the game. Putting HK-47 on Taris isn't that hard to do when you're making the game. The screenshots you're referring were released before KotOR came out.

NuGgEt Posted August 24, 2004 Author Share Posted August 24, 2004 But why would the devs mislead the playesr? They are telling them that they can get lightsabers on the first world, that you can find characters in the first hour playing. Why would they do that?

Grand_Commander13 Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Did they ever say "This is Taris, the first world you go to!"? I doubt it. They were taking shots that looked cool. And by the way, you get Carth very quickly. And Mission/Zaalbar not too long after that, depending on if you take it easy or not. Curious about the subraces in Pillars of Eternity?

NuGgEt Posted August 24, 2004 Author Share Posted August 24, 2004 No...But players are going to be looking hard of lightsabers and all these cool characters on this planet that they recognise from the screenshots. And they will be sorely dissapointed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderAndrew Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 KOTOR:1 has screenshots of lightsaber combat on Taris, which didn't really happen in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
36 Crazyfists Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Developers like to change things around according to story changes and idea changes, take everything you see with a grain of salt untill you actaully play the game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSAdmiral Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Definitely, especially the screenshots of KotOR2. It's almost guaranteed that the Star Forge Robes will not be in the game, yet they show it. In fact, the entire E3 demonstration will not be in the game. Take nothing for granted. Including the existence of the game itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSAdmiral Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Given by the general lack of useful info, it might as well not exist. I originally used that statement as a hyperbole, but now that I think about it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil_Manbeastly_Beast Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 errmm....just in case u dont know about the galaxy droid will tell u ( and no grand commander its NOT a glitch) anytime after u have escaped teh leviathan just go up to hk-47 and do a fighter simulation...once u exit it u shud be bak on the ebon hawk and some music will be playing and ur map will be ****ed and everyone is in the big room...if this is so then go to the ****pit (if it didnt work then u need to do the figter simulation again and again until it works cos its pretty much random) anyway u go to the ****pit and u see a droid there..u talk to the droid and tell it where u wanna go (the endar spire, taris and the leviathan being among them but i can never get to teh endar spire or leviathan and if u ever go to taris save ur progress b4 u do cos once ur there u cant get back out....hope this helps!

Fardragon Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 What you see in a screenshot often bares little resembalance to toe plot of a game. I remember on the back of the PS: Torment box there was a shot showing Modrons in an area that wererats appear in the game. Everyone knows Science Fiction is really cool. You know what PoE really needs? Spaceships! There isn't any game that wouldn't be improved by a space combat minigame. Adding one to PoE would send sales skyrocketing, and ensure the game was remembered for all time!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starwarskid15_19 Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 its the god damn galaxy droid glitch. thats how u are a jedi and have hk. but yes i was confused at first when i saw these pics of hk and jedi on taris but when i encountered the glitch myself i understood the force is what gives a jedi his power. its an energy field created by all living things. it surrounds us and penetrates us. it binds the galaxy together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adria Teksuni Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Yes, those were pics taken during the development of the game, quite early on, when storyline was still in production. The Galaxy Droid is a dev program left in the game, whether by design or accident, Bioware refuses to say, the blighters. It's common to release pics that may not end up in the actual game itself due to the demand for material in the earlier stages of the game. That's the price we pay for being greedy. Never assume malice when stupidity is to blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand_Commander13 Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 I put "glitch" in quotation marks when exolaining, Manbeastly. This is because though it's known as the GGG, it is in fact not a glitch (as has already been established). Anyway, I don't give a dang about screenshots. I want more info on new force powers, feats, and prestige classes. Curious about the subraces in Pillars of Eternity? Check out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
