Grishnakh Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 I think it sucks that they made battle meditation a regular force power in KOTOR2 that every jedi can get (as far as I know). In the first game Bastilla was the only known jedi in the galaxy that could use it and even then it didn't work in small scale battles. If not a big issue I think this was a stupid decision by Obsidian, it seems like just a cheap gimmick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterJediBrad Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Maybe Bastilla went on to teach other Jedi how to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth333 Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 People were saying "it would be sooooo cooool to have battle meditation as a selectable power" so they made a force power and called it battle meditation It is as simple as that. At least it is proof that they read what people are asking for but that can also be scary when you read alll the stupid demands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannibal Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Also, it doesn't do what it's not as powerful as it was when Bastila used it. So lame, not really. You know what is lame? When your playing and one of the characters is speaking in a low voice and the music blares up loud so you don't hear what they are saying. BTW- I turned off the subtitles because when I read the subtitles I don't look at the characters faces. Subtitles are also lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoM Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 But have battle meditation got the same cool meditating animation? I would love to sit a bit away from the battle just meditating so my party members saving throws get better... Or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai DD Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 LOL I dont think its lame. They read the suggestion and put the power. Its that simple. It just aint as powerful as Bastilas power; and if you ask me, it isnt a good power. Fully upgraded its regular, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grishnakh Posted December 22, 2004 Author Share Posted December 22, 2004 I think that when battle meditation as an extremely rare ability that only Bastilla could use is such a big part of the plot of Knights 1, it's ruining it a bit to put it in as an average force power that anyone can use in Knights 2. And it says in the description of the power in the first game that it can not be used in small scale battles, that's why you never could get Bastilla to use it ingame.

Bastila possessed Battle Meditaion as a Feat not a power, they said Bastila had a "rare gift" she didn't learn the lesser Battle Meditiation like we do in TSL she was granted an Uber natural innate version... that the Jedi Masters called it the same name is unimportant, because even they didn't know what to call Bastilas Power. In the WEG D6 Star Wars RPG System it would have been called Enhanced Coordination, a very hard power to learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was just a developer excuse why we couldn't use the power ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can shout at me if I'm supposed to know this, but what IS the WEG D6 Star Wars RPG System? And also is there somewher I can read about the D20 rules? Oh and Bastila wasn't the only Jedi with battle meditation. At some point in KotOR 1, she says (or someoen else says i don't remember) something about her mastering the power in a fraction of the time it took some of the Jedi Masters to learn it. I'm pretty sure I remember that from somewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
