KotOR3 Storyline Ideas

[Steve-O Kreesh]

You have some good ideas Darth Windu, but. At the end of TSL Kreia didn't know the future of Bao-Dur and the droids. Why not start the game as a regular joe that meets Bao and ends up going on a quest to find Revan and the exile and fight the "true" sith? Love Coruscant idea, got to have that planet and Corellia. How about Yavin 4, Alderran, and Naboo as new planets?

[Darth Windu]

Well, I just like the 'Coruscant training' idea. It immediately starts you off as a Jedi, and you get to wander around Coruscant.

 

Ztalker - you actually wouldn't be LS. The concept here is that, effectively, the Jedi Order has been wiped out except for a few, so they need to rebuild quickly to face the True Sith threat. Therefore, since you (the PC) are force-sensitive, they will train you. Look at KotOR, you could take every DS option on Taris and the Council still trains you.

 

Cygnus - a lot of the other info would be conveyed on Coruscant and during the game. I'm not a writer (of fiction anyway) so, as I pointed out, this idea is a rough outline of what I would to see.

 

Cygnus/Darth333 - here's the problem, if you don't use Bastila, Visas, Atton, Bao-Dur, Brianna, Mical and/or Mira as Jedi Masters, you havenothing. Who else will re-establish the Jedi Order? Sure, you could have a Jedi who has been hiding, but using one or more of the characters from KotOR and TSL would provide more of a link between the three games. Besides, aside from Mira (or Visas maybe) the other Jedi wouldn't be party members. Your Master would be, but would sacrifice themselves around 1/3 to 1/2 of the way through the game to save you.

I was Thinking you can pick your alignment from the start

 

DS- You start out as a Sith- something and have choices whether to become good or stay bad blah blah

 

LS-Vice Versa

 

Or play as a Non-Jedi completely if you wanted

 

Also i was thinking you pick up people along the way, and it could be a character shrouded in mystery then it turns out to be the exile/Revan

 

and they were using you for something or another, they observe your behavior and based on that then stuff happens.

[Gray_Master]

No, IMO that would destory the whole point on the LS/DS bar...

[Darth Brandon]

How about this...what about in KOTOR III you start out as a fallen Jedi who is on his way to becoming a sith but all the while he has reservations and throughout the game you make decisions that either keeps you a sith or return to the jedi order.

[Darth Windu]

Uh...no. Why do people want their alignment to be DS at the start of the game? The whole point of the LS/DS system is that you choose what your character is through in-game actions and conversations. You will start as neutral.

[Master Kavar]

My idea is very much like Windu, your character should be a young padawan in the new Jedi Order. At the begining you would be given a "history test", where you have to answer what gender and alignment Revan and the Exile was, and of course you can't be wrong. From there the story could change to accomodate how those characters affected the present game.

[RedHawke]

Quoted for emphasis!

 

Start with a neutral character, we will.

That could take care of the issue of when you meet or if you meet Revan and/or the Exile.

Still what happens if you start off as a regular joe. Will the questions be popped when you meet a Jedi or as I believe Steve-O-Keesh said if you meet Bao-dur?

[Steve-O Kreesh]

If you will allow me to elaborate on my last post.

 

You meet Bao-Dur and he senses the force within you. He tells you he is a Jedi and then asks you if you want to train in the ways of the Jedi. You say yes, he takes you to a nearby hanger which of course holds the Ebon Hawk. You set course for Telos and you arrive at the hidden Jedi Academy. You meet Briana, Mara, and Atton. you then train as a Jedi and do your "history" test to determine the story of the last two games.

 

I don't know, a structure similar to the first kotor might be a good idea. Go with the formula that won game of the year.

[The Source]

I think they should end the Revan story quickly. The next time I want to see Revan is in novel form. Playing another full-game about Revan will only make me cringe.

 

At the beginning, I think you should learn that Revan, Bastila, The Exile, and anyone else had died. Through the first half of the game, you should discvover what had occured to them. Durring the last half, you should be confronting a new force of evil, and build a new story.

 

I woudn't mind seeing Visas as a Sith Lord.

 

I think you should be able to start the game either fully dark or light.

 

Aton talking about Revan was a waste. I don't want to see this again... Bad idea.. "Uh... The Exile and Revan went to the Outer Rim to find the ancient Sith."... Can you say, "W.T.H."....

 

You should be able to start with some Force powers right away. Otherwords, you can choose at startup upto three force powers.

 

There should be a dramatic revelation, which gives you chills.

(An actual ending....) No just dialogue ending... Animations and dialogue would be nice... (Kreia looked drunk when she talked to you at the end.)

 

Unfortunately, nothing of the above will come to light...

 

Oh....And one other thing... It has to feel epic and Star Warsish...

[RobQel-Droma]

I woudn't mind seeing Visas as a Sith Lord.

 

One problem... You could turn Visas LS in TSL.

[JediMaster12]

If you will allow me to elaborate on my last post.

 

You meet Bao-Dur and he senses the force within you. He tells you he is a Jedi and then asks you if you want to train in the ways of the Jedi. You say yes, he takes you to a nearby hanger which of course holds the Ebon Hawk. You set course for Telos and you arrive at the hidden Jedi Academy. You meet Briana, Mara, and Atton. you then train as a Jedi and do your "history" test to determine the story of the last two games.

 

I don't know, a structure similar to the first kotor might be a good idea. Go with the formula that won game of the year.

 

It does sound like KOTOR when you are determined a "special case" and trained as a Jedi. However, how will Bao-dur have hold of the Hawk? At the end if LS, the Exile heads into the Unknown Regions in the Hawk. Are we going to have a case where T3 brings it back?

I've noticed how everyone says the Hawk should be in KOTOR 3 but no one, as far as I have read, maybe badly, has elaborated on the Hawk's return.

As for Bao-due, you have the option to train him as a Jedi or not so how would it be determined?

 

I'm sorry if I'm such a pain in the rear but these questions have been swimming in my head since reading the posts today.

[Val-Dorn]

I'm not too fussy on what they put in the game as long as they have:

Good storyline to keep you playing until 2am everyday

Coruscant...well because it's Coruscant

Revan,Exile, Bastilla

A Grievous like droid as a NPC

And well basically everything else that has been said.

[JediMaster12]

Welcome Val-Dorn!

 

Why would you want a Greivous droid? We already have an assassin type that like bloody confrontations: HK-47.

[Darth Sun_Tzu]

I think it might be interesting to have a Greivous type droid, one that can use vibroblades or even lightsabres.

 

Well i guess thats what the jedi party members are for! So they probably won't.

[Cygnus Q'ol]

Welcome Val-Dorn!

 

Why would you want a Greivous droid? We already have an assassin type that like bloody confrontations: HK-47.

 

Yeah, but can HK-47 wield six lightsabers?

I think it would be cool to have another seriously dangerous droid type.

[JediMaster12]

You got me on that one. I guess I just like HK because he is comical in his bloodthirstyness. I was particularly amused with his use of the word meatbag. Greivous was too creepy for me. I just have a partiality to the atro/protocol droid duo. Wouldn't you?

[Cygnus Q'ol]

Actually, I do too. Where does that come from?

 

Anyway, would you like to use HK-47 and T-3 again or would you like to see some other models, perhaps the next gen line of astro-droid?

 

...and if so, could you see some part of the story taking us to a dorid world or some kind of manufacturing planet perhaps?

You know, something like Mechis III, Holowan labs, or Kuat Drive yards.

 

If not the main story, then perhaps a side quest, to have us infiltrate a massive droid complex of some sort. Maybe on this droid slashing quest, as we fight our way to the control center, we aquire a droid companion along the way. Perhaps even a prototypical model.

 

I donno, what do you think?

[XoRRoX]

I think, that Bindo should play a importent role in the new game. As a force ghost. He is actually the "modern" jedi. And maybe more importent then many other jedis?

[Steve-O Kreesh]

Picking up a new droid is a good idea. But not another GO-TO. He was useless and annoying. I've never skipped through a character's dialog so fast as with his.

[Shem]

I always try not to think about what I think the storyline should be in a sequel too often. The reason is because you can fall in love with ideas that more than likely won't happen and it can cause disappointment.

[JediMaster12]

I see you have a calm and reasonable mind JediShemL. I guess we should all try that during our rather heated discussions.

 

@Cygnus Q'ol: I would rather have T3 and Hk, I just love them but for a new party member I would take a new prototype droid that was just as deadly as HK. I can imagine the fights. They would be funny on the cutscenes on the Hawk, if we get the Hawk. What am I saying. Of course we will have the Hawk.

[igyman]

Statement: New idea people! At the begining of KoTOR 3 the intro shows Bastila, head of the reestablished Jedi Council on Coruscant, discussing Revan's whereabouts with Jolee (Council member), Juhani (Jedi instructor), Carth and Canderous. The scene ends with Bastila's question: Where could Revan possibly be? Now a scene begins on the Dark Planet located just outside the galaxy. That planet doesn't have its own sun, so its always night. We are taken to a huge throne room where Revan (in his famous robes with the mask) meets the Sith Lord who will be the main bad guy in KoTOR 3. The Sith Lord tells Revan that he/she made a big mistake by coming there and says that Revan will die as the exile if he persists. They engage in combat and the Sith Lord triumphs. Instead of killing him the Sith Lord decides to spare Revan's life because Revan did weaken the Republic. He strips Revan of the armor and his memories of the Dark Planet's location and sends him/her in a small aircraft straight to Coruscant. At this point you are taken to the character creation screen and after that you take Revan's role once more in his quest to rally his companions and find the Dark Planet.

 

Addendum: It's a long intro, yes, but you can't say it's bad.

[Darth InSidious]

Bastila and Juhani could well be dead. Nice idea, though.
