Hallucination Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 But that would kill most or all of the character development. And going to levels much higher than that is just munchkinism. Don't forget how annoying it would be to assign all those feats, skills, and force powers at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igyman Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 No it wouldn't. Because you'd get new skills and feats in the new part of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus-Jack Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Hmm, i think it would be too hard to start you off as revan wouldnt it? Unless it was along a similar theme, where revan had to travel aroudn 6 planets looking for the true sith/recruiting people to help him. But than that might feels a little too much like kotor1 and the star forge thing. They could always have revan as a party member that you find? That way you travel as the new PC around a few planets recruiting peopel to help you in the search for revan, then you go and meet up with revan and join him in the fight against the true sith? But then that means giving him a voice, which might put people off. He would also need to wear his mask constantly to hide his face too.* I wouldnt mind playing as revan again, but i think it might pose too many problems. How would they solve the problem of being level 1 again anyway? I think i would personally like something along the lines of being recruited by the jedi order (which is being rebuilt, albiet slowly. Would be an excuse to bring back jolee for a bit-part as an old jedi ). And the story would revolve around the jedi order trying to rebuild themselves to defend the galaxy against the new sith threat. Maybe even have the handmaiden/visas trainging jedi in an academy somewhere? (wasnt that the LS ending for k2?). But anyway, it could involve the jedi rebuilding their order, trying to build up ther number of jedi again to defand against the true sith, then you could either be sent/leave against their will to help revan/exile in the fight. Having reven and the exiles fate shown in-game might be hard, maybe in one of the "big battles" scene against some of the true sith, you could see revan/exile fighting alongside other jedi. Well, i totally went off on a tanget there, so i'll just stick with new PC as my answer *yes, i realise i referred to revan as "he" throughout this post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_MalaKdoggk Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 well, as the 'dark' Revan in K1 I killed off everyone in my party except (doh- mental block- whats her name ) in K3 it'd be nice if Revan and girly had baby and Revan trains baby to be like father, who then kills dad in climatic power struggle to be baddest baddie. ...who then has torrid affair with handmaiden and then K4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igyman Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 OH MAN!!! NOT AGAIN!!! WHY, OH WHY!?!? Why would you want a baby in the story?? That leaves a very big time gap between TSL ans KoTOR 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Still not satisfied. And I'll never be, not until I hear a perfect reason as to why the story of Revan should not be finished by Revan, but instead with some third new face.Because the vast majority of players want to play a new character for all the reasons specified.

LoL, considering the gap between the first 3 films, and the 'original' films (SW:ANH,ESB,ROTJ) it's not unreasonable. And to train an 8-15 year old (child) character would explain why your character starts with no experience points AND would bring in a new genre to the game.

Clone L68362 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I've thought about this some more, and I've come to thinking that a new character is the only way to go, at least for most of the game. I'd like to see Revan later on, when you're more powerful, so that him being a level 20 whatever makes sense. Hopefully he joins as a party member or maybe you use him for a certain task, something.

Darth Manus Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Well, the appearance issue could be circumvented by keeping Revan in his usual robes, mask and all. But that would probably annoy some players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Movies and video games are two very different things. You can make that kind of gap in a movie and tell the story properly, but it's a lot more difficult and less interesting to have it in a game. Why? Because, let's face it, most of the game we'll be playing as an adult, so why would we need to spend 1/8 (and probably less) of the game as a child? What's the point?

witchfinder Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Hmm...I'd like to either play the Exile, and through a series of dialogue options, determine how Revan ended up, and then show him being killed off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clone L68362 Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 RedHawke, you made a mod that had a Star Forge-like version of Revan's Robes. Doesn't that look kinda LSish? They could always make some other kind of LS robe too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose so, but as I've treated both k1 and k2 as seperate games with no connection to each other I was just assuming the same for the next game. Besides, I have no intention of buying the next one until I play K2 with the restorations as I don't want to be disappointed again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igyman Posted June 6, 2006 Author Share Posted June 6, 2006 Right, the Restoration Project. It's a little off topic, but does anyone know if it will be finished anytime soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth InSidious Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I am sure it will be finished within a time known as "soon" @Lord_MalaKdoggk: How do you treat them as separate games with all the threads running between the two, linking them?

Sith_Lord_Alzar Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 it should be that the guy in the last game and visas or the handmaidan get married and have a kid and thats who yu play as Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallucination Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Except for the fact that the Exile could also be female, and no matter how hard she and Visas/Handmaiden try, they won't be able to have a child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igyman Posted June 8, 2006 Author Share Posted June 8, 2006 Hallucination strikes again! I think it's safe to say that we won't be seeing anybody's child in the potential KoTOR 3. A new character probably (unfortunately), but definitely no babies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamr37 Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I think you should start new and eventualy get Revan and/or The Exile in your party Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiTh_LoRd_ReVaN Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 i agree with so many of you, getting a new character and building them up! i would LUV to see Revan and the Exile joining the party tho, jus because they are a big part of the series! Could be possible to see that but who knows!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
