Cygnus Q'ol Posted November 30, 2005 Author Share Posted November 30, 2005 Perhaps the ability to alter size, much like how Malak has a bigger lightsaber in Kotor? That'd be cool. Exactly! I was even toying with the idea of the single blade that can transform with a click to the staff, much like Darth Maul in Episode I. I would very much like to be able to do this. However this may create a problem with crystals and upgrades. There must be a way to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However this may create a problem with crystals and upgrades. There must be a way to do this. I like the idea too, but I don't think there's any problem with the crystal and blade. Afterall, the double-bladed saber uses the same upgrade and crystal slots. It wouldn't be a problem at all. For a longer blade though, I'd like it if they made it a seperate saber style. Like how the regular is a standard long sword and the long blade a mighty claymore. Something like that would be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like how the regular is a standard long sword and the long blade a mighty claymore. Something like that would be interesting. Yeah, that could be very cool. I'd like to see different sized, styled and types of sabers. Maybe some new effects. I'd like to see the game go into some hardcore dynamic lighting, dx9 style. If you wanted more customization for the saber, perhaps you could customize your hilt. Say there are like 10 options for a few different sections of the hilt, that you can cycle through when you are building it allowing you to mix and match. While it wouldn't effect game play, it could add a little more immersion, as it is custom built for you and you alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, I like my options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've often wondered why the devs couldn't do that for the game. Maybe there is hope for KOTOR 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus Q'ol Posted December 16, 2005 Author Share Posted December 16, 2005 Would you use a special crystal that changes blade color with the mood/health/ or alignment of the user? Example: Jedi Gardian or Sentinal. Trouble ensues and you breakout the saber. It's brilliant blue hue flashes as it crosses with a red sith saber. Depending on the battle, or your foe or your demeanor or health, the saber slowly changes hue then its color altogether. Perhaps, as I get stronger or weaker, or angrier or calm, my saber reacts with a color change during combat. Of course this would be an unlockable item at some point and used only if desired.

JediMaster12 Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Gives a whole new meaning to the term mood swings. Statement: Interesting idea. Musing, I think the Master would appreciate a mood lightsaber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 That would be bloody annoying. It would mean that all Jedi are feeling sad because of their blue lightsabers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jae Onasi Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 I like different color options, but if forced to choose between the devs putting in color or power upgrades, I'll go for the power upgrades any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobQel-Droma Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Statement: Interesting idea. Musing, I think the Master would appreciate a mood lightsaber. Jedi Weaponsmasters: Sad Jedi. Jedi Watchmen: Scared Jedi Jedi Master: Sick Jedi That is kind of funny, actually. And then - Sith whatevers: Embarrased. I don't really care if they change the color crystals any more, I liked the colors they had now. Of course, just a couple more crystals would be nice. As for everything else, I don't really care.

RobQel-Droma Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 ...Haruun Kal... Actually, as I remember, he got the purple crystal from a planet called Hurrikaine. Something about "...braving the rock-encrusted natives..." Why not? You don't have to use it if you don't want to. But if they put that in the game (which I doubt) then there would probably be someone using a dual-colored saberstaff, so I would see it. Secondly, it doesn't seem Star Wars, it just doesn't feel right. Kind of the same way I feel about being able to wield dual saberstaffs. More for a mod idea than anything.

Darca Lar Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Wielding two saberstaffs seems a little unreal for the ideal jedi, even for someone like Darth Maul who was extremely well trained, it just seems much too hard to master without a limb being cut off.

lukeiamyourdad Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 As far as I know, lightsaber combat still has some realism to it, including how someone can realistically fight. Two double-blades would be almost impossible to master. Even if someone did, it would be too hard to wield for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus Q'ol Posted December 19, 2005 Author Share Posted December 19, 2005 Dual saberstaffs is just plain silly. Multi-colored saberstaffs... Well, it was just an idea. no harm done. I guess I'd have to see how it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMaster12 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 I see more gray than dark or light and both extremes annoy me, but I will say this, the color options for the color crystals in TSL were good, more choice but I can't recall if there was a clause for the color of the blade in the Jedi code.

Has anyone seen the sith use anything but red? Guardian: Blue Sentinel: Yellow Counsular: Green I don't think there are restrictions for changing color. I haven't seen anything in the code that limits color use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedi3112 Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 How about altering the color by using the basic Red/Green/Blue setup of the color. I think setting the percentage of the maximum of each color would give you plenty of options to tweak the color of your blade. It would also make for a black or a white saber (all colors to 0% or 100% respectively). It also gives you about 1 million (very slightly) different options for the color.

Cygnus Q'ol Posted December 22, 2005 Author Share Posted December 22, 2005 I welcome a fresh approach to customizing as much as the next guy, and I wouldn't be opposed to a simpler approach to saber color modification. We'll see what they come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ztalker Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 I do think customizing your lightsaber would be cool. You can then make a specific colour that you really like, thus ioncreasing your bond with the Pc and increasing game-coolness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallucination Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Has anyone seen the sith use anything but red? On Kashyyyk one of the sith that you fight uses purple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobQel-Droma Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 I always thought that purple, orange, and red were the Sith colors. Purple is the combination of the Jedi Guardian's blue, and the Sith's red. Orange is the combination of the Sentinel's yellow, and the Sith's red. And so on- they are like "in-between" colors. But usually you only see Sith using purple and red. As for more Sith using purple, several of the Sith Lords on Dxun used purple, and at the endboss battle Traya calls up those three purple floating sabers.

ChAiNz.2da Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 well.. purple is actually a "Sam Jackson wanted to stand out in a crowd" color But many theories are out there to give it a more "elegant" history to it's existence. My favorite is because of the Force Form Mace Windu uses borders Dark Side tactics.. the combination of Red (Sith) & Blue (Jedi) makes his saber "Purple"... Seemed appropriate and although a bit convenient for explanantions, it didn't hurt my feelings hehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
