Well... seems I haven't see any of this topic, so I made one. But if some kind like this topic exists before, please just abandon this one.

 

Ok, get to the topic. Which KoTOR III timeline would you prefer? I mean, do you prefer it to be a sequel (after KoTOR I and TSL take places), prequel (before TSL and KoTOR I take places), or between KoTOR I and TSL (after KoTOR I, before TSL)?

 

Post what do you think. :)

I think it should be before KotOR 1, maybe during the Mandalorian Wars.

Or before that, during the Exar Kun war.

There is a lot of potential in there, I think.

KotOR just brushed on the surface of the Mandalorian Wars, and the Exar Kun war.

It would be nice to play as a Mandalorian for a change, maybe one of the survivors of Malachor V, or something like that.

Or as a Jedi, that sides with the Mandalorians, or some other strange plot-twist, that would fit into the theme of Star Wars.

Hmmm...there are two options I'd love to see.

 

1) Maybe 8-15 years after TSL, with a rebuild Jedi Order where you can train and do quests. Preferably on Coruscant. In K1 the Jedi were nearly destroyed ands we had an enclave where 5 jedi were walking around. Not exactly an impressive display of Jedi Power. So that's why I'd like a gap of 10-15 years.

Also, Revan and the Exile won't be dead of old age at that time, so they can be 'included' in the story as well then. :)

 

2) In the time between 1000 years for SW: Episode 1 (The last great Sith war) and Episode 3. The Jedi of that age are still members of the 'Old' Republic (presuming Luke Skywalker and the Solo's Republic is the 'new' one). Revan and The Exile could still be used for the story, as a sort of...holocron hunt or something. A young Jedi searching for the truth about the Sith or something like that...

 

In any case, AFTER TSL. I feel the Kotor Comics have the right to 'explore' the Universe pre-Kotor 1.

I've no idea how they would make KotOR III take place at any time other than after KotOR II. All the events there have been documented, it would have far less freedom in the storyline, and it wouldn't be able to resolve a plot with the true Sith.

 

I'd prefer it to take place immediately to several years after TSL. As long as it's short enough we can still see the surviving cast from both games.

Yeah, exactly. No more than a couple of years after TSL at the most. I'd like to see the cast of K1 and K2 back in K3.

Agreed.

 

The Old Sith Wars with Exar Kun and Ulic Qel-Droma has already been told. Consult the various Tales of the Jedi comic books for that.

 

As for the Mandalorian Wars, it is currently being told in the KotOR comic book. Go read that to catch up.

 

Neither of these are well suited for a CRPG, since the events of these wars as well as the major characters are already well established. I could imagine strategy games or so based on it, yes, but a CRPG, no.

 

Besides, there is a big, open cliffhanger that TSL left hanging. You'd think they might actually finish the current plot before they begin the next one... With all the references to the true Sith and "the great war that comes", the end of TSL is begging for some closure.

That's true. And quite frankly, it seems a little hard to continue the story without having to rely on lame/cliché elements. One more reason why Obsidian should be the only company to develop K3, since they are probably the only ones who can really add a unique sequel to TSL storywise.

I completely agree that K3 should be be able to stand alone as a game and be as rich as the previous two, but these lame cliché elements are (to a degree) part of star wars, recurring motifs and what not, and its fandom (star wars) is far bigger than the rpg community, so don't be surprised if it has a cloak and dagger villain and a neophyte hero fighting to save/destroy the Galaxy... It comes with the name tag.

 

It should be set immediately after TSL, so the unsatisfactory ending can be tied up, then maybe jump a few months to a year later...

I would want it to be right after TSL with the Jedi Exile running to the Ebon Hawk with an Injury from Kreia and when she boards the ship She finds Carth Onasi and Bastilla Shan on the ship waiting for him/her. Also before they talk they have to flee becuase the mass shadow Generator is being re-activated. They get off the planet an fly to Telos IV and discuss a message Carth and Bastilla received and have the meeting interrupted by Jolee and Juhani. They then talk T3-M4 into unlocking the navi-computer into giving the last known location of Revan Thus begining the story of Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic III.

I agree with it being after TSL, but not the rest. How does Carth and Bastila show up on board the ship if the Exile didn't notice them on board earlier? And why would Jolee and Juhani be there? But I do sort of like the idea of fleeing the Mass Shadow Generator, but if it was in the game, it should be the opening scene. No gameplay necessary.

I read somewhere about a year ago that if there was going to be a KOTOR III, that it would take place after Episode III, and you were one of the surviving jedi of Order 66(the clone wars republic was sometimes called the "old" republic), but that may of been Star Wars TFU...
It would be hard to have a galaxy-spanning epic that doesn't affect canon...

Probably TFU, because that era is right at the beginning of the Empire which isn't KOTOR. :vsd::blast5:

After TSL of course, however, somewhat significantly after, few years or so I think. I also wouldn't want returning cast members as anything more than cameo roles. We've done their histories, we've done their backgrounds, their romances, ect... Of course if the party system was not fixed like it normally is, and allowed for literally unlimited number of party members possible(but still only 2-3 in an active group), then I wouldn't mind old cast returning over the course of the game.

 

I'd particularly like it set a significant amount of time after TSL so IF there are returning characters, they've had time to be up to something so we can hear new stuff and see how they've developed since Revan or the Exile.

 

I wouldn't mind a new ship too....the Ebon Hawk is nice...but eh, I'm a tad bored of it.

It wouldn't be a KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC III if it took place after Episode III. Where you got your information must have been refering to The Force Unleashed.
