kotorfan84 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 This may have been asked, but I would love to see some decapitations, arm slicing and lightsabers in the gut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoiuyWired Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Well, if anything it would be a "hidden" thing accessable only thru cheats and what not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jediphile Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Hmmm, not sure about that. The D20 rules do allow for it, but even so, I don't want KotOR3 to become the Star Wars version of Mortal Kombat or its ken. Somehow that sounds more like a slash-fest than a heavily plot-driven CRPG to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuma Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Doubtfull, it would be rated Mature with the level of detail of a new engine, and i doubt lucasarts would like that, since most of it's games are rated Teen or below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerbieZ Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 A frontal lobotomy in a Star Wars game, no thanks. I think there are levels of graphic that are reached when deciding to sell a game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingerhs Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 actually, something on par with the dueling animations used in "Medieval 2: Total War" would be cool. you don't have to have limb removal to have a cool takedown. imagine the satisfaction of seeing your character perform a final, brutal takedown on K3's final boss.

The Sith'ari Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Well, if the combats are really going real-time, I'd like the fighting to be more realistic than it was. More realistic but not necessarily mean more gore. I don't know about seeing arms severed- would that mean that the PC would possibly be sliced an arm too? I'm not sure if that would be cool... perhaps then the PC can get a mechanic arm? Anything more than that would be unnecessary, perhaps, for a RPG-driven game like KotOR.

Sabretooth Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 While LA has a policy against adding visceral action in SW games, I'd love a good dismemberment or two. It wasn't possible in KotOR I and II due to engine limitations. From what I see, the only way KotOR III will make a mark in competition, will be by advancing tis physics seriously. And I think a good slice from a lightsaber would physically cut off a hand, or a leg. Very likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Skywalker Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Hmm, anyone remember JK and the dismemberment code? So, yeah, i wouldn't mind, but maybe only by code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jediphile Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Is that Ken line a stab at my avatar? Not at all. It's just a word. It's misspelled too. It should have been "kin". Originally I typed "ilk" and should probably have stuck with it. And I for one would love to see death moves. Bow down before the might of Darth_Kotor! I don't mind dismemberment in games as such, really. I'm not squeamish about these things and have no problem watching a complete slash-fest, if the tone of the material calls for it. I just don't think it does in Star Wars' case, and even less so, if it's done for the sake of splatter-effects. I want the focus on good, plot-driven CRPG. I don't want it to appeal to the lowest common denominator. That said, hand or arm here and there wouldn't cause me trouble. Heck, we even had that in TSL, though dictated by the plot.

PoiuyWired Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Actually I don't think it means that your character would lose an arm or soemthing. Maybe its just like what happens when you do "jedirealisticcombat" in JK/JA series, where if you kill someone body parts on the floor are separated. Nothing too gorey but it does help if it looks less of a "guy sleeping on the floor fading away" Most games woudl include a bit of blood and things on the dead bodies just to make them more obvious, a darkened/separated/etc body and such would be quite effective in this role depending on what your killing hit is, without being way too bloody like fatalitying someone by ripping out his backbone.

Master Kavar Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 If the enemy ended up with some random form of dismemberment after the final blow with a lightsaber, that would be great. Though I don't want to input codes or button sequences to pull it off, seems frivilous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremia Skywalk Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I totaly agree the idea- what is Star Wars without cutting arms off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaelastraz Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 As far as I know, you could cut arms off in JK JA. I'd like it if it were to be implemented, but it is on rank #421 on my priority list... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kotorfan84 Posted November 28, 2006 Author Share Posted November 28, 2006 I don't mean anything like Mortal Kombat, one of the options I stated was a lightsaber in the gut, like the way Maul killed Qui Gon Jin. And I would want it to be a random occurence in the game (the arm slicing and decapitations anyway, maybe like 1 in 40 or so kills) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emperor Devon Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I'd like realism in the animations. The idea that someone can get stabbed in the heart and keep fighting it ridiculous. I'd much rather time be spent on the story, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ctrl Alt Del Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 It would be cool to see the guys crippling the rivals, like this cutting arms thing, and the like. But not just 'cause its cool'. It should influence the gameplay, like an enemy that lost the bones of one of the legs, cant move or something (ok, that was a awful example, but i think u got the idea).

Titanius Anglesmith Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 An arm removal every now and then wouldn't hurt. Just nothing over the top like decapitations with gallons of blood gushing out from the now open neck of you're victim. And the combat really needs to be improved. There was a slight improvement from KotOR 1 to KotOR 2, but just adding a little set of moves for each kind of attack and not doing the exact same movement over and over again wasn't quite enough. It should be more real-time but not like the combat of JK. Still be where you just click a certain attack and it does it for you, but you're opponent shouldn't just stand there and take it, waiting for you to get done so he can attack. Make it more like lightsaber battles in the movies where there's actual contact between your's and you're opponent's blade. It just seems a bit like they're all kids fighting over whose turn to attack it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jediphile Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 The real problem with dismemberment or any other sort of "critical hit" system is that it has to be applied broadly to all combatants, including the main pc and his/her companions. Over time, this will mean that the main characters will lose arms and legs, since they fight all the time and the chance is always there. The only way to avoid that would be to reload constantly, which is boring. I suppose that's one reason why they haven't done it already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dede_frost Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Well... I don't think a dismemberment in the middle of a fight would work.... but if it were just like a final move when the charracter dies.... yeah... I wouldn't mind that (not prioritary, though). What Also, they should't go all kill bill blood style and stuff.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth333 Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I'd much rather time be spent on the story, though. Indeed. Let's concentrate on the storyline...at least it brings something to the game. This is a RPG after all. I don't feel the need to see heads and legs flying around like soccer balls in my game.

Anakin Skywalker Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I'd love to be able to activate your lightsaber whenever you want and not have feats for combat.... and you be able to slice at anyone throughout the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
