RobQel-Droma Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 What was your favorite planet(s)? Mine would probably have to be Dantooine, and Onderon. Even though Dantooine didn't really didn't have any new areas, it was still fun, I thought. Onderon was pretty cool too, I really liked the planet.
90SK Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 I really enjoyed Nar Shaddaa. Of all the planets, it had so much interaction and story too it. Like, it has all those separate sequences with your party members, and the bounty hunters, etc. It just seemed like the devs put a lot of effort into the storyline there. So it comes out on top as my favorite. Second is Korriban. I know everyone hated Korriban, but I thought that it was really effective for the part it played in the game. It had an intro (everyone gathered around the hologram of the planet at the beginning), and provided insight on the tombs in the valley, which I thought was great. Despite it's shortness, the academy was great fun, and the confrontation with Sion was splendid. Also, the tomb sequence was one of the high points in the game, for me. The insight to the exile's past was a great aspect (I enjoyed conversing with Malak). The planet's only fault was not being long enough: you could probably be off it in about 20 minutes if you hustled. Had it remained coupled with M4-78, I think they would have been the best planets in the game.
Ztalker Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 I'd say Onderon... Leading/stopping an riot? Couldn't be cooler Also, it's the only planet were we are actually being helped by a Master. O yeah, Kavar rocks...he's the only one that understands you.
Soogz Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 Probably Onderon. All of the other ones in my opinion were trash.
The Doctor Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 I liked the feel of Malachor V, but it was lacking something (like an explanation as to why I went there). My favourite planet for the longest time was Nar Shadda, but it got frustrating. That's where I encountered most of the bugs that I've had. My favourite planet (at the moment:P) would be Dxun, I guess.
lord ignarn Posted December 10, 2005 Posted December 10, 2005 I liked a lot Onderon, it´s a great place to define yourself to light or dark side, and it has the feeling of the roit and so on. Also Nar Shadda was cool, with all that bounty hunters, criminals and so on. Korriban it´s allways grat, but a bit short. Maybe the sith academy should had been bigger, and finding the jedi master death was dissapointing. What I didn´t like nothing was Peragus, is so arbitrarial. You do the things without having a clear idea about why you are doing them. Overall, I believe that the planets from Kotor 1 were better done, but the ones from k2 aren´t bad at all.
RedHawke Posted December 10, 2005 Posted December 10, 2005 I liked Peragus, you had to figure things out, all the while having a sense of urgency you couldn't identify.
YertyL Posted December 10, 2005 Posted December 10, 2005 Onderon is propably my favourite planet in KOTOR2, exspecially the second part. Playing a part in deciding a civil war _and_ being reunited with your former master is cool . Peragus, Dxun and Dantooine were also kinda nice; Peragus and Dantooine mostly because of their respective stories, Dxun for the jungle feel and the Mandalorians
Vladimir-Vlada Posted December 10, 2005 Posted December 10, 2005 Onderon and Nar Shadaa lead against all other KOTOR 2 planets with me.
RobQel-Droma Posted December 10, 2005 Author Posted December 10, 2005 Dxun was ok, but the part I really liked was the Nadd tomb, with my party of Atton, Visas, and HK. That was cool, although it was really hard, especially at the entrance and with the three Sith at the end.
90SK Posted December 10, 2005 Posted December 10, 2005 ^^^ That part was beast, yes. I really enjoyed not having the exile in the party (for variety).
SpaceAlex Posted December 10, 2005 Posted December 10, 2005 Nar Shaddaa was very well done, except for the refugee center. That place was frustrating and annoying. Dantooine, Dxun and Onderon were excellent aswell.
90SK Posted December 10, 2005 Posted December 10, 2005 I didn't get frustrated with the refugee sector the first time around: I barely brushed it. That's right: you can basically skip the whole thing. Just skirt the perimeter until you meet sasquesh, kill him, and come out the way you came. I didn't know anything about the place with the actual refugees until my second playthrough.
Emperor Devon Posted December 10, 2005 Posted December 10, 2005 Had it remained coupled with M4-78, I think they would have been the best planets in the game. Clicky clicky. As for me, I'd have to say my favorite planet was Korriban, for the same reasons Skye listed.
Vladimir-Vlada Posted December 10, 2005 Posted December 10, 2005 As for me, I'd have to say my favorite planet was Korriban, for the same reasons Skye listed. Korriban was the best planet along with Mannan, Kashyyk and Tatooine in KOTOR 1. But they ruined it in KOTOR 2...
Darth InSidious Posted December 10, 2005 Posted December 10, 2005 I'm with Vlad on Korriban My fav planet has to be M4-78, though Edith: Actually, my favourite in-game planet must be Dxun, if only for the creepy atmosphere and the tomb
PoiuyWired Posted December 11, 2005 Posted December 11, 2005 Who actually voted for Peragus?? o.o Peragus is not even a planet!!! Now, the only redeeming value for Peragus is the "are you an angel?" joke played on a Female Exile. Other than that its basically a "please skip me" area after the first runthru.
90SK Posted December 11, 2005 Posted December 11, 2005 Peragus wasn't all too much fun to play, but the devs did a spectacular job on it. It was the best opening sequence to a game I've ever seen. I mean, the attention to detail was amazing. You can tell it was one of the first (if not the) things they did. Example: On the Harbinger, there is a totally optional camera sequence where you see Darth Sion burst out of the bacta tank. Think about it. They had to animate and script that sequence. And it isn't even that easy to find!
Emperor Devon Posted December 11, 2005 Posted December 11, 2005 Korriban was the best planet along with Mannan, Kashyyk and Tatooine in KOTOR 1. But they ruined it in KOTOR 2... Really? Korriban was the best planet in KOTOR II, in my opinion.
90SK Posted December 11, 2005 Posted December 11, 2005 In K2, we got a glimpse of "modern" Korriban: Korriban as it "now is", so to speak. Dead. The way that OE portrayed that couldn't have been done better. It was originally intended to be a lead in to M4-78. It wasn't really supposed to be a standalone, though it seemed to do ok. Even if it had been bigger, what more is there really to do? Vash - Sion - Cave. Those are the main points, and frankly, while it was disappointing to find Vash dead, it was a nice detraction from the oh-so-predictable "find her alive and well, prept for rescue". I mean, in a pool of her own blood, no less! Tell me that isn't original for a Star Wars setting.
PoiuyWired Posted December 11, 2005 Posted December 11, 2005 Well, I prefer seeing her alive, and then immediately executed right in front of Exile before she gets to say anything... Its more exciting that way.
90SK Posted December 11, 2005 Posted December 11, 2005 I suppose seeing Sion kill her would have been a bit more effective and dramatic. Or at least some mention to how he killed her. But either way.
