Gargoyle King Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I suppose "Canon" doesn't sit very well with the Kotor series IMO. Different players will use different dialogue combinations to fit there own style, for instance you may prefer to be a DS female Revan (like me) or a LS male character. Revan is like the Exile in which the devlopers didn't confine the character through one canonical idea and thus left it to the players to choose there own path for Revan and the Exile. In short it doesn't really matter what LA thinks is "canon" if K3 follows in the same vein of it's predecessors. Well based on the comics etc. Revan does have a canon approach, and Wookipedia expresses what Revan's true likeness is supposed to be like but within the game series the canon of Revan doesn't really exist.

PoiuyWired Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Well, We know that unfortunately Revan is LSM and Exile is LSF being canon. Now for the rest of the stuff I would like to see Visas alive(simple task of not killing), Brianna had been part of the crew, and that scumbag desciple being restricted to minimal plotline(ie NO seeing him as a Jedi master in future games). Yes I hate that chap, but to be fair I understand his knowledge in history, so killing him off would be unfair as much as i want to see him dead much more so than Jarjar. Obviously I would love to see the Return of the two Droids, and the follow up story on the secretive "unknown" Mandalore from Clan Ordos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gargoyle King Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Well, We know that unfortunately Revan is LSM and Exile is LSF being canon.Yeah, Canon sucks, it really limits our imaginations. In K3 i think we need an original character with no canon whatsoever, perhaps leave the game off on some sort of cliffhanger to allow us to use our imaginations on "what happens next". Obviously to end it all the game will have to include the exile in Revan, or the last two ventures would have been pretty pointless; but whoever makes this game (i really hope it's getting made) will have to have a great imagination to make it even more enjoyable and more importantly, original.and that scumbag desciple being restricted to minimal plotline(ie NO seeing him as a Jedi master in future games).Or not seeing him at all! I really didn't see the point in that character (what was Obsidian thinking?), besides Brianna was way cooler anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titanius Anglesmith Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I don't really care what "canon" story they come up with. It won't affect the way I play my game or what I think about the main character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masgrtgr Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 The only things that are really canon in KOTOR are Gender and Alignment and romances. Every thing is else aside from a few exceptions (Ajunta Pall's Tomb) are dependent on the player's decisions. What order did Revan & Exile visit the planets? Did Mission see her brother during K1? Did Revan actually fight any of the nameless Dark Jedi in the Star Forge? Did the Lost Jedi unlock their potential? What did the Exile do on the respective planets? The Ajunta Pall bit in K2 is a exception because it assumes that A: Revan actually entered the tomb. B:That Revan fighting Pall is DS only (a LS character could get the question wrong and get attacked by Pall). This is why I believe Dantooine and other planets won't be in K3. It's going to be hard for the designers to work around the fact that the fate of the planets is up to the players hands without canonizing things.

Well, to be fair, it is assumed that a LS Revan would get the question right and does redeem Pall. Hence Kreia's disappointment in Pall's redemeption, as she felt it to be the betrayal of the self.

Arcesious Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Sure, have canon. but several different canons... Certain people can believe certain versions that are canon. for example, lucasarts makes several basic backround stories for the game- three for each of either male or female characters being either good, nuetral, or evil. That would be 6 different 'possible' canon versions, and that way, everyone's happy- as long as they don't argue about which canon version should be the dominant canon version.

Prime Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I like the way they do it now. You can play the game any way you want, but I like that the games can tie into the larger chronology... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Skywalker15 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I agree with Prime. They aren't limiting you to playing, you can still play as however you want. They need to do it for in cases like Darth Bane: Path Of Destruction and the New Essential Guides. By the way, I'm the poster that asked Mr.Chee about Kotor III ( I'm having my screename changed here to Son Of Skywalker15.) He also told me that once it becomes needed, they will officially canonize a Kotor II ending. A few months ago I asked Sue Rostoni is they has any plans for a Knights Of The Old Republic Era novel, and she replied "maybe." That is why they have canon, not to limit you. I'm going to play the game and see what clicks into the story better to decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jvstice Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Prime & SonofSkywalker15: Exactly the point to me. Canon as far as gameplay.. about as irrelevant as asking a 15 day old newborn what his or her favorite thing to do in all the world is. Its only worth is in later books and comics. I'm interested in the canon due to "how will this set the stage for what happens between this game and that book that takes place _____ years later."

Obss Damell Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 the canon in TSL is LS female. for a change id want DS male to be canon in K3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jediphile Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I'd want exile to be LS male and for Nihilus to be confirmed as exile's dark half. For any KotOR game, the canon ending will and IMHO should be LS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True_Avery Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Well, I'll tell you what I'm tired of what is canon: Gender. Why does Gender have to be canon if it is a player controlled game? To each his/her own, but I'm not to keen in pushing half of a player base off the canon sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamqd Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 It's basically just so they don't have to call Revan "it" in the NEC that came out a while back and any future non game stories. Personally I play LSM in both K1 and TSL, but I really don't care about canon, because in anything other than the games it's not my journey/story anyway.
