Did you EVER talk to Kreia, JIGOS? Half her conversations are crap like

 

"Revan was like staring into the Heart of the Force"

 

"Revan beat them all"

 

"Revan never truly fell"

 

Meanwhile, I want to do a flying spin-kick into my own characters face and tear it clean off just so I can get her to shut up.

If people say Revan is cool in KOTOR 1, then the same thing applies to Jedi Exile in KOTOR 2, right?

actually, no! i have both games. but i'm not an exile fan. i mean, she's cool, but my preference is revan. i've also played jedi academy, but im not a jaden korr fan. i prefer kyle katarn. and its not because of the 'character that got in first', because i played jedi outcast way after i played academy. (and i used to absolutely *love* JA. i dont anymore FYI)

lol! i just took it as, 'well. now i know how it happened'. more than anything, i got it from k1. what, with all that about canderous long talks of revan's military genius, all the masters in the enclave commenting on how incredibly talented the PL is, and bastila thinking she pales in comparison to revan in her mind.

Revan's overrated. I like Malak.

malak looks SO much better with hair! is it confirmed how he lost his jaw? cause there's that ol joke that he lost his jaw trying to shave with his lightsaber. have you heard his last name?

Squinquargesimus? Yes, i've heard it. It sucks.

 

And, as far as I know, Revan cut off his Jaw.

Okay, I got to wondering this, and I couldn't resist. :D

What do you think of Bastilla?

My friend has the same attitude, so I have to like her in some manner. Bastila is both strong and emotional. I liked her strength at the start, but I didn't like how the character was played out as a darksider. She started to look too weak, and I was hoping for a stronger female darkside character. It would have been nice if she backstabbed Revan, so she could rule the Sith by herself. :D

I thought Bastila was best among the KotOR characters. All of them were extremely well crafted in terms of background and general amiability (well, except for T3...) but I found the interactions with Bastila to be the most entertaining (with Jolee a veeery close second.:D)

 

And seeing I always inevitably ended up as Darth Revan (even when I triedreally hard to play LS) I like the dark Bastila twist. So much so that I usually change her alignment and put her in Dark Jedi robes as soon as I leave Dantooine!

Even so, she is still my second favorite NPC in either KOTOR or TSL.

Who's your favorite NPC? :)

 

@topic

Bastila was quite compelling. Gifted in the force, arrogant due to that, but at the same time unable to keep her emotions in check..

 

One of the best Kotor NPCs. But TSL features more interesting (but less likeable) characters.

For every SW fans : Kreia DESCRIBED Revan as the heat of the force. It is because Revan is Kreia's best student. And you should know that she's a liar. Remember her lesson for the Jedi Exile about distrust is an effective shield?

 

Kreia praises Revan like when Palpatine praises Anakin everytime (but some of them are true, actually, such as Anakin's skill and power). Please don't get mad at me because of my statement. I'm not an anti-Revan, actually I'm a Revan fan, I just want to make the "heart of the force" thing clear.

Kreia seemed to hold Revan in a very high regard and I think she was telling the truth (= her opinion). Also, I don't think "heart of the force" is to be taken literally.

 

Edit: And why would it make sense to lie about Revan to the Exile? She should know a good deal about Revan's capabilities anyway, since she was a rather important figure in the mandalorian war.

Bastila has a very compelling character. On the surface she seems haughty and shallow (which in and of itself is unusual for a Jedi), but she obviously has some inner demons regarding the Force and the Jedi Code, and her game-long battle with it makes for a very interesting character.

Your words are mine. Although I found her darkside personality a little too forced.

I voted for 'Meh, she's okay' solely because... well, her character's all round good, except for when she starts going dark side.

She yaps on for a bit (understatement?) at the start about 'ohh darkside is bad' and then she just drops this bombshell on you, and she's completely changed.

 

Just doesn't happen, if you ask me. :]

 

Apart from that - annoying, yeah, but so was everyone in their own way.

 

Number one is Revan, isn't it ?

 

Visas Marr is hotter than Bastila I think :)

 

How can you judge that on Visas' half a face? lol

To be fair, she was being interrogated and tortured by the Dark Lord of the Sith.

So do you actually like the game or not? :xp:

 

Regards the hotter thing - Visas has no eyes.

I really like her character - until she's captured by Malak. Then she becomes a little ridiculous. "Ooh, Look at me, I'm so evil. EEVIL. EEEEEEEEEEEVIL. But I love you, and you're not evil, so I can't be evil" Geez.
One of many reasons why the DS ending is better.

Not really. It follows 'Yahtzee's Rule of Alternate Endings' - either your ending is you becoming a friendly neighborhood Sith Lord Hero of the Republic, or you become a Dog-Kicking Galaxy-Burning monster. Why can't the Hero of the Republic burn him some galaxies, kick a dog here and there?

You don't see that kind of thing in the films. In the films it's all either 'lol light Jedi' or 'lol dark Jedi' or 'lol light Jedi that becomes dark Jedi.' The lol's are for emphasis. >_>

 

Which is why she is my second favorite KotOR character after Kreia.

she's good looking, or sexy--if mods are installed

 

but she's just another Aribeth created by Bioware, nothing more...

 

similar good-look and different-from-common accent

similar betrayal

similar "romance" and return

 

etc...

Which is why I'm glad I hadn't played NWN's OC before I played KotOR1, as it would have spoiled KotOR, and KotOR did it better in any event. As a matter of fact, I wish I'd never played NWN's OC at all. :p
