Lord Haine Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 During the 'custimize' section before you start the game, i was quite dissapointed to find that there was no custom name box, i thought this was just cause it was a demo, but later i found out that your name was Jagar? (i think)... I mean, when it said completely custimise your own character i thought it meant your name aswell?!... Or they should at least have a better name! (Like Kyle lol xD) What do you think? Dissapointed you have to have Jagar as a name? Respond to the Poll! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 This has been known for months and discussed at length. Do a search for the thread and you'll see the whole discussion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclaimer Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 The reson they didn't let you have a custumisible name was because they didn't want some one running around with a name like Darth Maul or Vader of LUKE! Kyle...ect. Because the game might screw up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
•-BLaCKouT-• Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Well, firstly, it's Jaden. Secondly, having a customizable name sounds like a good idea, but I've got a feeling the cutscenes will have npc's using your name when they're speaking. So it's just not practical to have a choosable name without everyone calling you "jedi" or "you". Maybe a choice of names would have been an idea, but it's still going to cause headaches. So it's probably easier to go with an asexual name like "Jaden". B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro The Hutt Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Indeed, for example in Kotor you can choose your own name but there no one who speaks basic (english) adresses you with your name, Wookiees do however, simply because they edit your name into the translation subtitles ^.^ That and in KotOR your character doesn't have a voice apparently o.o Gimme JA over that XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Talliusc Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 more of a letdown for me then ever, i mean i LOVE the name Jaden, it just sounds great!............ which is why i've been using it in online video games for the past year or two. this plays right into my theory that im like the star of the truman show and everybodys watching me *yes thats a joke, no need to call the paddywagon..... yet* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy867 Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 But you figure that with voice acting, it can be changed right? So what is so hard about going into the pk3 where your voice is stored and just CHANGE IT. Of course we can't do that with the demo since its a RESTRICTED DEMO, but with the full version you should be able to, since I was changing Kyle's name and their voice pitch all the time:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro The Hutt Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 You made Kyle squeaky voiced? o.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy867 Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 naw, just messed with Mon Mothma, Luke, Desann, Tavion and others to make them sound more like how they should... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iblis Reborn Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 ive had alot of time to get used to it so it doesnt bug me i like getting into character anyways and if your nick is of the sith it would seem kinda odd having a sith guy at the jedi academy as long as MP is customisable i see no problem at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-8252 Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Jaden is fine with me. Having a fully customizable name would be completely ridiculus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taekwondo joe Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 only thing i was a little disapointed was having some fun, if i named myself, kickmybutt, whn luke would talk to me it would, "hey, kickmybutt, come here" i could have alot of fun with that lol!!! but i liekd the name jaden and think it was smarter doing what they have done, not really disapointed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreaderus Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 I assume and hope u can name yourself whatever you want in MULTIplayer, i really could care less what I am named in single but its a key thing to have your persona in multi Dreaderus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seetherr Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 Come on.. everyone named Jaden in multiplayer would be beyond silly wouldnt it? Of course you can choose your own name for MP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 It's necessary for dialogue purposes, so I don't mind. Better that than have everyone call you "Jedi" or "Hey you!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Haine Posted September 9, 2003 Author Share Posted September 9, 2003 Obviousely if you were only a complete retard would you call yourself something like 'Sith' or 'Jedi' wouldnt you call yourself by your rpg name? i.e mine is Haine. But... Nevermind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarek Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 Whats even more silly is the ability to change your lightsaber's hilt. But you cant even tell the difference between them in game. Its one of those "features" to make it feel like those more things to customize, but not really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy867 Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 Well, once the Retail is released and people start porting over the hilts from JK2, then you will see how valued hilts are for individuals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASk Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 pssst, there's a cvar in the game called 'name'. I doubt it will effect much, but toy with it and find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
