Darth Cain Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I believe that the third Kotor should take place in a different era, like maybe the Darth Bane Era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Devon Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Then it wouldn't be the third KotOR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalMark Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 10 years top. Otherwise the time between the games is just to much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldberry Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Even less than that. Unless it's in the aftermath of this dreaded "sith invasion". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khawk Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Yeah, not a good idea. We want to see why Revan left for the Unknown regions and why the Exile goes there alone as well. We need them both alive in Kotor III. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego Varen Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Yeah, Prequels and Sequels one hundred years later can be concentrated on in KOTOR IV, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaelastraz Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 80 Years after Kotor II. What does QFE mean btw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 80 Years after Kotor II. What does QFE mean btw? Quoted For Emphasis. Back to topic, I expect KotOR III to run parallel to KotOR II, following Revan's tale and then picking up after KotOR II with the arrival of the Exile, about halway through the game. Atleast thats my concept of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miltiades Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I don't think the game will start with either Revan and the exile. I think the time between K2 and K2 can't be as much as between K1 and 2. In my opinion, 5 years was a bit too much. I think another 5 years is too many. I would go for a few months after K2.

Beast-Thrasher Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I would say two years would be good, the order is just builind up and the crew you turned into jedis in K2 could be gathering other people by visiting other planets and finding people to rebuild their ranks. so this would again be good if the character you play is already 20-25. The jedi are rebuilding so they wouldn't be as stuborn to deny entry to those who are too old, they need older people not children to fight in the war. Sure, there should be children in the temple on Coruscant and a good amount of adults but not a whole bunch, they're all scattered around some planets.

Ztalker Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Anyone considered the possibility that Kotor 2 was the last of the games in the Jedi civil war era? I could live with a Kotor around the 'Episode 1' era. It's still considered Old Republic, according to the timeline. I would like a Tython-aged based Kotor too. Tython is the place where the jedi originated. It could be quit cool to fight in those ancient time, with ancient weaponry etc. My 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Skywalker Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Anyone considered the possibility that Kotor 2 was the last of the games in the Jedi civil war era? No, because that idea is bs. I could live with a Kotor around the 'Episode 1' era. It's still considered Old Republic, according to the timeline. Yes, it is Old Republic but we're talking 4000 ABY Old Republic, not 25 ABY Ole' Republic. I would like a Tython-aged based Kotor too. Tython is the place where the jedi originated. It could be quit cool to fight in those ancient time, with ancient weaponry etc. That wouldn't be bad, actually, very nice. My 2 cents Well, they suck, so step aside please. I believe it shouldn't be neither much time after K2, neither very less, one year or so is enough, for the Exile's companions to fit in as Jedi's. Now those are some good 2 cents. After all, they're MINE 2 cents. Sorry if i hurt yar' feelings as well, Ztalker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbl Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 It certainly has to be in the same era (not before). I think it should be set after the Jedi order has been re-established by the 'lost jedi', as long as it's not too long after K2. Those who think that it should be set in a different era should be shot and hanged. It would be ok for a KOTOR 4 or a different KOTOR series, but no. 2 was a cliff hanger. It left unanswered (the often used examples is Star Wars V w/ VI). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miltiades Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Yes, it is Old Republic but we're talking 4000 ABY Old Republic, not 25 ABY Ole' Republic. The Old Republic ended 19 BBY. The New Republic started ca. 4-5 ABY. Just wanted to point that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quoted for Emphasis We need to know what happened to Revan and what happened to the Exile, particularly, in my opinion, who really was more powerful, and who will affect the galaxy on a larger scale.

zadi Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I'd like to see KOTOR 3 to set directly after 2. I'd like to see something similar to Sabertooth's idea except instead of playing as Revan directly that the game be set like Final Fantasy 7 (or was it 8?) where you play the game as the main character but a bit into the game, as your own game progresses, you get to play in a flashback with other characters. The flashback bits can be a result of clues your main character finds as he/she searches for Revan/Exile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaelastraz Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Even it that means getting hanged, I consider Revan's and Exiles story to be more or less finished. No need to discover the True Sith. Decades after Kotor II is just fine for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Source Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 *Just My Opinion* I would like to see a brand new KotOR story. KotOR III could take place 1,000 years before Revan, or it can take place a few hundred years after Revan. If KotOR III takes place a few hundred years after Revan, I am sure you could read up on Exile and Revan's exploits. However, I don't want my PC involved with anything they have done. I think its time for a new chapter, characters, planet, etc... Placing KotOR III too close to KotOR II's storyarch will only create bordome.

Darth InSidious Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Anywhere between immediately after KotOR II to 3 years afterwards MAX. The story is incomplete. We need to know what happened about this threat lurking at the edge of the universe. If we don't then what? The True Sith just said " y'know what? Sod it. Invading the Republic's too much effort. Let's have a cuppa, put our feet up, and watch Coronation Street instead." In the words of the HK-50 units "It makes no sense." KotOR IV-VI can take place Tython-era. KotOR VII-X can be 1,000 years later. Let's keep to the epic formula Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattern Spider Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 The time frames people are suggesting of only a few years between K2 and K3 are just way way too short. A decade is perfect, allowing the main character to have been growing up during the Jedi Civil War and a brand spanking new adult graduate of the new Jedi order just in time for K3. Plus we get to see older and wiser versions of Revan and the Exile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish.Stapler Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I was thinking 5-10 years after KotOR 2. Anything else and the Jedi Order/Republic won't have had NEAR enough time to get patched up for the new wave of super-powerful baddies hell-bent on their destruction. Edit: Also, too long after that 10-year benchmark creates disassociation with the main storyline and problems establishing continuity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titanius Anglesmith Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 This has been something I've thought about for a while. KotOR III can't be set too far into the future because we kind of need to find out about Revan and the Exile's business with the True Sith. But of course, if you're going to be a brand new character in K3, then this character needs time to grow up. I guess they could always set it a few months after TSL, use some random character that was on the sidelines during the Mando Wars, the JCW, and the Shadow War, and then somehow give some explanation as to why he's strong in the Force but didn't discover it till now. Maybe a Jedi could discover him/er on whatever planet s/he is on and decide to train him/er? Maybe Bastila could be that Jedi? I don't know, I'll just leave that up for the devs to decide.

legend222 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Well it depends very much on who the PC will be. If it's Revan or the Exile it should be a few monts after K2. If there is a new PC then about 1-3 years (enough time for the Jedi\Sith Order to be rebuild). Not more because it wouldn't make sence Revan leaves he's gone for 5 years, Exile leaves she's gone for 5 years. What the hell have they been doing? Besides they're old enough as it is (in their mid 30s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
