KOTOR III - The Bad Points.

Recommended Posts

If KOTOR III is made it better not be a follow up of KOTOR II's storybecause frankly myself and alot of my friends found KOTOR II to be abit repeditive with a lame story and just no new excitement... but hey thats just some people, wich is why i still think if KOTOR III is for real, please have a fresh new story!!! not another random flying in the Ebon Hawk for the third time! Dont you guys agree ? id like to hear what you all think.

If KOTOR III didn't follow TSL's story, then the reason why TSL had many plot holes, etc, won't be answered. I wouldn't like KOTOR III to be a Prequel or set one hundred years after TSL. And when KOTOR III is made (or if made), then I doubt KOTOR III will be any different to the previous KOTOR games.

The reason why there was so many plot holes was due to a holiday called Christmas, which apparently is a time when many people take part in the traditional "buying of the games for presents" and LA apparently likes green paper with former presidents. That's just my opinion and many other people tend to disagree.

TSL's plot does not have holes. The game does, however, due to the decision to release it before the work was done. As plots go, I find TSL much better than the original K1 plot.

 

TSL is not a finished plot, though, nor was it meant to be - there are a lot of unanswered questioned left behind in TSL's open ending. A K3 that does not follow up on those is a K3 that I might reluctantly play, but will certainly dislike, if I play it at all. And I will play it only on the pc. If it's console only, then I won't be buying it.

Oh I agree that TSL is better, it's just the fans complain about it's cut content, etc.

Yes... i supose your right but for KOTOR III if they have to follow up on the continued story, for it to rewind to the original KOTOR abit, i didn't like it how Darth Reven was just completely erased from the story of KOTOR II, i would really like it if the Darth Reven stortyline would be brought back into the picture for KOTOR III. Or if not that, a better storyline than KOTOR II

TSL's plot is the game's plot in my book. When I install the game, look for (nonexistant) patches and play it, I assume that is what TSL is. And there are plotholes. I don't really care why. They exist, there is no patch to solve them. Blame Lucasarts, blame Obsidian, it is irrelevant. As the consumer, I received an unfinished product.

That's just my opinion though. :)

This is the problem a lot of us have with TSL. My point is that if you look at the plot as written and intended by Chris Avellone, not as in the half-finished stae it ended up in the game, it's actually a very complex and solid plot IMHO. When we talk about the cut content, then it's because the rather large differences between what is in the game and what was meant to be in the game. But due to a rushed schedule, lots of stuff had to be cut, leaving stuff hanging. That's why a lot of people end up looking at the screen in disbelief, when they watch the end sequence of the game. I did too the first time around...

Darth Revan wasn't erased from TSL. He/She is mentioned several times with Kreia, Atton and Master Vrook and even Carth/Bastila mention him/her sometimes. So don't think TSL was bad because Revan wasn't mentioned sometimes, because to be honest, I've become sick of Revan, which is why I prefer the Exile.

Actually, just blame LucasArts. They rushed Obsidian, so if given the time, Obsidian wouldn't have had to rush it.

I dont know but i found the Exile a stupid idea for your character, if BioWare had of done KOTOR II i still recon it would have been better than Obsidian. When KOTOR III shows its face i can still be sure its going to be A HELL OF A GAME - the excitement is overwelming !!!! i want it now!

 

The thing is, BioWare had expressed no interest in making any sequels for KOTOR and I'm glad that they recommended Obsidian, since if given more time, they could've made TSL become much better than KOTOR, even though I'm one of those people who prefers TSL.

Kotor III has to follow the same story line, and IMO has to be the same kind of story/plot line. This game is about jedi knights, and they usually travel alone or with a master or padawan as a companion, not to mention it is a RPG.

I don’t think the ebon hawk will be your ship because the exile has it and is supposedly looking for Revan. This as you might have guessed will probably be a big part of the plot for the third installment.

As for whoever makes the game doesn’t matter as long as the game is completed and the story is explained completely.

 

That's why a lot of people end up looking at the screen in disbelief, when they watch the end sequence of the game. I did too the first time around...

 

I could not agree more with Jediphile. I originally played TSL first , then Kotor, then back to TSL and said that was very anticlimactic.

 

I do feel that the game play, the way the characters moved and over all graphics was much better in TSL. I as is every other person here wishes they did not cut any content.

Me two, i preferred KotOR story-wise and TSL gameplay-wise, but that may change.

 

Also, i completely disagree with you Horny Zalaabar.

 

PS--Obsidian does good games, just look at Neverwinter Nights...

 

Plus a lot of Obsidian folks worked at Black Ilse Studios. They made three of the greatest RPGs ever. Fallout, Fallout 2, Planescape: Torment

 

The Icewind Dale series was good but it focused more on the combat then the plot.

Well reading some of the responses on here seems like a great debate indeed but I did not mind the plot or the holes it had in it I just wish they would of made K2 complete.As for Revan he may not have been included in this game but we do know where he is generaly (far reaches of the outer rim) and I personally hope we get to go either find him/her or be him/her again or even find him/her and he is part of the small band of spiecies that save the universe yet again for either sith or jedi kind alike!
