The Source Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Return to a Medieval Style in KotOR III? I really enjoyed playing with the movie style robes in KotOR II, but I personally think they were way before their time. What I liked about KotOR I is the Medieval Style Jedi Robes. The whole game gave you the sense of yesterday. If you were the designer of KotOR III, what type of medieval qualities would you put in or restore? What qualities do you think were important in KotOR I, which you want to see in a KotOR III? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathan7 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 nah, ive heard a few people complain about the robes, but for example orthodox jew's havent really changed alot of there dress over the last couple of thousand years... so i think the jedi may well of just kept those similar robes, i like the new robes personally (tho in reality i just want my jedi to have a cape i dunno about anyone else, but i think there was more charachter depth in the original than TSL, so i would like to see a return of that... i wouldnt mind bastila retuning so we can romance her again tho that depends on how long after TSL its set! the only other thing i would like, is to make sure ships dont look too much like the ones in the films... eg. the ravenger, and more like the endar spire, harbringer and other 'new' designs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Actually, I'd expect the Jedi robes to be similar to "today's", since 4,000 years ago isn't really all that long considering their history. But if they are going to be different, I'd like what they have in the KOTOR comic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiEND_138 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 In terms of the robes, I wouldn't mind an option to not have the cloak. The old robes would be cool, just a bit more loose fitting. With the talk/fight sequences, I'd lose both of the combatants sabers going off at the exact same time -think Sion & exile Trayus academy-. Maybe have the convo options in a saber lock or something like that. I'm not too sure why this annoys me, it just does. I'm sure I'll have an edit later when I've woken up a bit more..

Darth InSidious Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I'd prefer the KotOR I ones. The TSL ones make it feel too much like it's about 5 BBY, or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHawke Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 As someone who hated the KotOR I Jedi/Sith Robes I am not for seeing them again... Perhaps have a layered approach of some sort, an Inner Outfit (Clothes Layer) and an Outer Robe (Cloak Layer). This would allow for even more item bonuses!

Darth Windu Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Well, why not just put both K1 and K2 robes in K3? I personally prefered the K1 robes because while they were still Jedi, they weren't what we were used to, and to me it gave a feeling that it's the same galaxy, but not the galaxy we know. If you know what I mean. Anyway I'd love to see an option to have the normal robes, and whether you want to wear a cloak as well. Okay, in the films the Jedi pretty much always run around with cloaks on except when they fight. Then all you need to do is, for cloaks in the game, give them a maybe +1 charisma or intelligence, but -! defence. Something like that so you'll want to wear them normally, but not during combat. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario1 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 NO certanly not those crappy robes in K1!!!! Stick with the movie style ones!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90SK Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I don't see why they couldn't try to incorporate both types. Or perhaps combine each concept? I enjoyed both variations, so it doesn't matter so much to me. Though the large number of different textures was a refreshing change in K2, as opposed to the four from K1.

Char Ell Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I'm with RedHawke on the K1 robes. No thank you. However if K3 had both K1 style and K2 style robes available (per Darth Windu's suggestion) then that would be fine. Of course, none of my PC's would wear K1 robes but the rest of y'all would be welcome to. Also, no white tubes for lightsaber hilts. In medieval times they had different sword types that had different looking hilts. After all the medieval times didn't have mass production, right? One of my KotOR 3 wishes is to have 3 or 4 different lightsaber hilt types, 3 or 4 short lightsaber hilt types, and 2 or 3 double-bladed lightsaber hilt types.

Jae Onasi Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Yeah, I wasn't all that thrilled with the 'robes' in K1. They looked a lot like short bathrobes. All you had to do was make them red with black lapels, and voila, a smoking jacket. However, I did like that it was a different look and made me think that I wasn't in the 'typical' SW era. I wouldn't mind seeing both styles in K3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick5770 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I think the option for both in K3 would be best, I like the K1 robes and the K2 robes. The option for a cloak/cape would be cool. The different hilts are cool, but it will suck for people like me who have 64 mb graphics cards. Another thing I would like to see is a change in the fights, there should be some fights where you and your opponent talk during the fight, but there should be some enemies who don't say anything, they just attack.

Darth333 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I didn't really like the k1 robe models. As Jae said they looked like short bathrobes....but K2 robes looked like long bathrobes IMHO Save for the model, the textures and overall details of the K1 robes were much better than those of the K2 robes. I found the K2 robes rather bland, especially the textures. The only one I liked was the dark jedi apprentice robe. The K2 robes made my female PC look like she had a serious cellulite problem and my male PC like he had a "fat female ass". As for lightsabers a little variety wouldn't hurt.

Vaelastraz Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I am not too impressed about Kotor I robes AND Kotor II robes. While I would definitly prefer Kotor II robes (The kotor I robes are so erm unpleasantly tight), I want something new in Kotor III.... What I myself like most, is custom clothes. Like Revan's cutscene dark side robes, they are awesome. Or Nihilus' robe, or even Atris' robe. After all the player character and his allies are not ordiniary Jedi/Sith... I want custom robes!

The Source Posted July 21, 2006 Author Share Posted July 21, 2006 If they evolve the robes for KotOR III, I hope they give you the option to atleast put the hood on. I think that will drive your Sith Lord prescence. I personally liked the KotOR I robes. Even though they look like bath robes, I think they show a primitive evolution of their future.

T.Nova Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Actually I had an idea about customizing your own robes for K3. Another thing I liked about K2 was the Jedi Armor with the cape on it. Although they didn't look comfortable it's still a proof of concept which should be expanded on. Imagine being able to color your robe as you choose, or add a cape, cloak or hood to your robes. Hell even make a mask if you truly wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHawke Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Jedi Robes should look like they did in the PT even 4000 years in the past, as robes really cannot change much. They are the same then as they would be in the future, cloth is cloth, and peoples bodies are the same/similar then as now, it isn't really a style that can change much. Looking closely to the KotOR I robes they are basically the inner tunics and simply do not have the outer robe part. At least that was my take on them. If they evolve the robes for KotOR III, I hope they give you the option to atleast put the hood on. I think that will drive your Sith Lord prescence. OE messed with this for TSL as having a key being able to put the hoods up and down, but the XBox limitations killed this, perhaps the 360 will allow this in KotOR III. It is something I wouldn't mind seeing, though it would limit our PC's hairstyles some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lettuce Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 I wouuld'nt mind seeing both styles in the next KOTOR game along with the abilty to wear different styles of normal looking clothes. Dont see why Jedi wouldnt ditch the robes to blend in alittle better if they had to covertly gather some info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kotor_freak Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 my opinion would be that i wouldn't mind having the kotor 1 robes in K3 but i would prefer the movie style robes seen as the K1 robes looked i little tight, for example the torso didn't look easy to move in.

What the .... ? Now Iam going to get angry... I hate it when developers fail to make advantage of the superior PC techniques. Why can't they do it the other way around, first develop it for the PC, then adapt it to that Xbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth333 Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 It surprises me that people get so concerned about the robes' appearance. Ask your wife about it Meh! why not have both? good protection and good looking rlz! If something looks horrible, no way I'm going to wear it...at least not in a game (In real life I still have to wear a gown and a jabot in court )! It's not real life so I don't mind getting killed! In any event, robes + high dex give me better protection than any armor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Developers could do that I suppose but they don't because of the economic factors involved. The game developers want to make a profit. The best opportunity for profit lies with consoles, not with PC's, simply because there are more people out there who buy console games than PC games. It surprises me that people get so concerned about the robes' appearance. I wear whatever gives me the most protection. Such a manly man you are, jimbo! All function and no fashion. I bet your wife furnishes your wardrobe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
