Would you be disappointed if...(a different kind of speculation)

They did in fact make K3, but made it far into the future and the only mention of Revan, the Exile or the "True Sith" were through passing conversations with various NPCs in cantinas and such, but that the story was completely different and wasn't a continuation of K1 and K2?

 

Or, in your mind, is the only way it can be called Kotor3 is if they continue the story from the previous two games?

I would stop wasting any of my time with KOTOR if they do that. I think that I don't need to elaborate why.

 

I'd like you to elaborate, actually.

 

Do you play the KOTOR series because of the Revan storyline? Or because it's a fun game set in an interesting part of the Star Wars timeline?

I don't think he's going to slog through hundreds of threads just to learn your history. ;)

 

 

 

If it were set in the "Sith War, -4000 year era", I would play it, probably. Revan/Exile storyline strongly preferred.

 

I want to see the current story finished first. If there was a KotOR-esque game dealing with Exar Kun etc., I would grab it, but not in the stead of a final KotOR game, you know?

I don't want it to be a continuation of the first two. I would rather have a party member, who is an old jedi who in his youth battled the true Sith, tell you tales of revan and exile. I want a completly new story. That would also be good for people who play kotor 3 without playing the first two. Finding out what happend to them should be a optional side quest.

I would be very disappointed if they did that. I don't want to hear about Revan/the Exile from a bunch of sad-drunks. I want to find out the old-fashioned way: wading through hordes of enemies, talking to party members, quests, and meeting them.

 

I always liked killing the enemy. However hearing the story is half the game. Maybe parts could be told from people who served in the Mandalorian Wars. The thing about the Exile would be more recent so there are younger characters to talk about it like the kids whose mother needed a starport visa on Onderon. A thought.

Rather than discovering Revan dead in Kotor III i want it to take place 40 years after TSL.

And if you think about it Revan will most likely be dead if there will be a Kotor III. If he was male female players would be annoyed... if he is asian euro/american ppl are... and so on.. but then again if he isnt in the game 98 % of Kotor players will be annoyed.. phew that's quite a problem.

 

I want a nice Kotor exactly how u described it IndianaSolo, because i cant imagine a you-can-choose-everything-u-did-in-both-games-Kotor

When I personaly play the KotOR series, I was more intrested in establishing a story for my own character. KotOR I was great in this manner. If a company designed the next KotOR 3 about twenty years after Revan, I would definately play the game. At the end of KotOR I, I thought the conclusion of Revan's tale was clear. When I started to play KotOR II, I thought the same technique would be used. Otherwords, you travel the galaxy piecing a puzzle, which is related to your personal PC. Unfortunately, KotOR II was still about Revan.

 

I would love the chance to play a KotOR 3 that was based on an etriely new character who had no affiliation to the Exile or Revan. I thought in the first place that KotOR I and II should have been stand alone complex games.

 

NPCs talking about Revan? Well, maybe a few of them, but not the entire galaxy. If they create a game on a brand new idea, then having any comment about Revan would be shortsighted.

 

Just my opinion...

I think that the whole KotOR series have been built around the whole story of Revan/Exile storyline. It would be wierd to see a new game with an entire new scenario with little or no mention of the old storyline. They would totally have to re-think every single aspect of the game. If they had to re-think the whole storyline it might end up not as pleasing as the original two games. Lots of people who enjoyed the first two would want to see a continuation of the storyline. Maybe a whole new storyline would bring more excitement and different styles of gameplay. In the end, I would still end up playing the game without a doubt.

I wouldn't mind if it was a new story in KotOR3 with only some vague ties to what has happened in the past games.

 

As I see it, the story of Revan got closure at the end of KotOR1. Not much in the way of loose threads there.

 

And the story of the Exile got closure at the end of TSL, if you disregard the silliness Kreia says about chasing after Revan into the unknown on some fool's errand for no discernable reason. (Which my Exile woule never do. Better to stay behind and rebuild the Jedi order and stabilize the Republic, seeing as you're supposed to be the last trained Jedi alive. Not a task you'd just entrust to a reformed Sith and a bunch of neophyte force users who have little to no knowledge about the Jedi aside from how to swing a lightsaber.) :)

I don't see how the current story line could continue anyway. Both Revan and the Exile are much too powerful to be player characters again (unless they pull the tired old amnesia trick...). And since they have no fixed appearance or gender, they are ill-suited to appear as NPCs as well, since it would make a lot of people (myself included) feel disconnected from the story with a "Hey, that's not the Exile!" reaction.

 

How would you base a story around two characters with no fixed appearance, no voice, no gender, no personality? And who could have been either light or dark? :)

Welcome to the forum Macro.

@stoffe-mkb- I would think that the Exile would go to find Revan. After all it was part of T3's mission to return from the Unknown Regions and find help. He came in search of the Exile, one who knew war. He could have easily chosen Kavar who also knew war but I think it had to do with the fact that the Exile knew of what was to be faced. I know it sounds dumb that he didn't stay and help rebuild the Order but Kreia did say that the Jedi you train were the Lost Jedi. As for the fixed appearance thing, LA may come up with that later.

Out of the mouth of babes... I love it.... I agree 100%.

I will play KotOR III if it looks like the game will be fun, no matter what the story or timeline is. The game does not have to fulfil all my desires in order for me to enjoy it (if that were possible, anyway).

 

That being said, I do hope it will continue the path it has started. If KotOR II had started a new story and left Revan's story to end at the end of the first game, I would have been happy. Now that the Revan story has been continued without, IMHO, a satisfactory resolution, I would like to see it continued in KotOR III.

 

That's the danger of taking up someone else's work. It builds up expectations that you cannot always meet. It's especially true with Star Wars, where the fans (me included) invest of themselves into the story and almost take ownership of it. So, where are my royalties?...
