Canon

[General LiWar]

Let me ask the question this way - if you could only play the game once, would you sway toward the canon route?

 

not usually. My first time through a game, i play as if the character was me, male and kind of grayish LS. I guess i sort of hit Revan's canon but not the Exile.

If I was restricted to one playthrough, I would play the way I want to play, like General LiWar there. As I said though, that's typically pretty close to canon. When it comes to canon, I care more about getting the same ultimate results than I do about giving Sharina Fizark 700 credits or something just because it's the extreme light side option. Bottom line: As long as the Republic destroys the Star Forge and my Revan is a male, it's close enough for me. Trying to stick to canon isn't going to stop me from doing the Genoharadan assassinations or anything.

 

edit: (to mimartin) Does TSL run correctly on the 360? I tried starting a KotOR game on my 360 on two separate occasions, and, both times, it had constant lag. I've heard it just doesn't emulate right on the 360. I've never tried TSL though.

That's just about how I see it too.

I complained about this in another thread and someone said it was working fine for them now. So I tried KOTOR first and it was 100% better than the last time I tried it (before Mass Effect came out). TSL seem to work even better than KOTOR. Still the sound is a little off in some places, but I can live with it.

 

Besure to download the updates.

Oh, well that's good. Pretty crappy timing now, though, seeing as how I finally bought KotOR for pc. I'll be doing the same for TSL. Anxiously awaiting Team Gizka.

Anyone know a good place to buy K1 for PC? I have TSL already.

Don't know where, but you can also keep an eye out for Star Wars: The Best of PC as it includes Empire at War, Knights of the Old Republic, Star Wars Battlefront and Republic Commando. I purchased it because KOTOR is on a DVD instead of CDs. I also found it on the cheap.

[Gurges-Ahter]

Thanks mimartin. I will definitely look out for that. Just a cursory search yielded some results, in the $35-$40 range. Is that about what you paid? If you got it for cheaper, can you direct me to your source?

[Darth_Yuthura]

I had a Female Revan and Female Exile the first times through.

 

I preferred the Male Revan I preferred the Female Exile

eBay!

 

Better jump on it.

[Gurges-Ahter]

Thanks for the info! I think I'm going to go for mimartin's suggestion for the Best of Star Wars PC version.

 

BTW, nice sig, Rev7.

[Ascendant_Justice]

nowai! Do eBay that's where I got mine.

[Gurges-Ahter]

I've only had one playthough of K1, and it was on Xbox, borrowed from a friend. I'd love to get the PC version, and I've been wanting to try out Jedi Knights too. The Best of Star Wars PC sounds like a good option to me. The only thing is I'm running Vista on my main computer so I'm sure that will cause problems. I do have a backup computer with XP tho, so I'll probably just use that.

 

I think I'll probably go DS on my next K1 playthrough, deviating from my canonical influence.

I don't have it myself, but I've heard that Best of PC works fine on Vista.

I understand you are only relaying hearsay, so I hate to contradict you, but in the interest of keeping someone from buying another copy with false hope let me say this is not true. It is still extremely difficult to play KOTOR on Vista with the Best of PC version.

I usually always am Light Side and always pick the Male character. Although when I learned that the canonical choice was for the Exile to be female I went back and played the game through as a female.
