Darth333 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Ugh, this time period is so overused it's not even funny. This + Obsidian = even if it gets done, I will at least wait and may even pass my turn. Good writing alone cannot save a game. TSL might have been well written, it was incomplete, full of bugs and not very Star Wars-ish except for the lightsabers. I always got the feeling that the SW environment and setting were forced on the writer in TSL... K1, despite its flaws, captured the OT SW spirit a lot better IMHO. Sometimes trying to add too much depth to something like KotOR feels even more artificial... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shem Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I'd rather see a different time period explored. Like maybe between 1500-2000 years before Anakin Skywalker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDR Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I'd rather see a different time period explored. Like maybe between 1500-2000 years before Anakin Skywalker. Honestly, I'd prefer something like the Great Hyperspace War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralPloKoon Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I'd like a game set in the Legacy era. Dark Horse has created some awesome stuff there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lord of Chaos Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I'd like a game that is based on one of my KotOR III stories, preferably V2. Like and share, spread the word and the big fish of Disney will not be able to resist mwuhahaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lord of Chaos Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Hahahaha thanks for giving me hope. Star Wars The Lord of Chaos: A New Hope... For the Final Nail in the KotOR Coffin. Seriously though, I'm proud of my work, I love it, but that's probably just because I'm kind of a narcissist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col_Zechs Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 New Kotor 2 like RPG, but set between EPIII and IV, cool. I hope it has the mad Jedi Joruus C' Baoth. He's awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greggomonkey Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I have long since been of the opinion that a solid Star Wars game is best set in a relatively unexplored space of time. THat is part of the reason people bought KOTOR. ~Greggomonkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 That's true, but what era would we be talking about if this were to happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexrd Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 THat is part of the reason people bought KOTOR. I'm not sure that's true. I think people bought KotOR because it was the only Star Wars RPG (regardless of the timeline) in existence and/or because it was from BioWare.

I think people bought KotOR because it was the only Star Wars RPG (regardless of the timeline) in existence and/or because it was from BioWare. Yeah, I was interested in KotOR because it was the first Star Wars RPG. It could have been set in any timeline and made by any developer for all I cared. Heck, I'd never even heard of BioWare until I played KotOR. I'm far from alone when I say I'd love more Star Wars RPGs. Single player, that is. Star Wars + RPG = GOLD, I just hope the dialogue system stays the same instead of that freaking Mass Effect style system. Anyway, Star Wars is perfect for RPGs. I love the ambiguity Obsidian provided, but I also love a good old fashioned, black and white, epic struggle between the Jedi and the Sith.

Dak Drexl Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Gimme a blaster or a lightsaber and put me in a galaxy far, far away and I'm happy. I really hope something comes of this because a new Star Wars RPG would probably be super fun no matter what the story ends up being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greggomonkey Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Another option would be to explore the time period that is much farther in the future with an rpg. It would open up a way to move past all the current muddle of canon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Avlectus Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Ugh, this time period is so overused it's not even funny. I'll keep my eyes and ears open though. Yeah I'm going to throw in my lot here too. Stop. Just stop using this timeframe. Please. ENOUGH already. I would have preferred something around the Bane period myself. Pretty much equidistant from the KOTOR and movie timeframes and virtually unencumbered by canon, enough to have almost complete narrative freedom. You could go either side of the Rule of Two depending on what you were going for - before if you wanted an extant Sith presence on the level of KOTOR, or after if you wanted a more low key affair less focused on everyone having glow sticks. What I'd really like to see is a proper Sith/Dark Side focused game, one that isn't just about killing randoms because that's what "evil" types do. Something that charts your rise from apprentice to seizing the mantle of Master, then recruiting your own apprentice (and maybe being taken down by them as a nice way to end). Well, the Knight Errant period is kind of exciting and it takes place about a generation before Bane. Its (darker) successor series is currently underway in comics. It's a time where the old republic is severly decayed from milennia of war with the sith since...well probably since SWTOR. So bad it practically doesn't exist, meanwhile colossal titans in the forms of sith warlords warred with each other and the republic's remnants over territory. It'd be interesting to find out more about some obscure ancient sith and jedi during this time. A ton of creative and new content could be made that doesn't necessarily have to be tied in (which I think would be the better for it) with the films. It's fodder for new stuff and yet not too radical of a departure either. The stories of Darth Bane were more about drawing it all to a close and into a period of quieting it all down, making the galaxy at large believe followers of the sith way were extinct while he worked in the cover and seclusion of secrecy. I do agree it'd be interesting to see made into a movie trilogy but at the same time I'm not particularly excited to see a movie adaptation of something which already is well established. I like the idea but not as much as something more open. We have to break away if it is to grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I'm old. I like TIE fighters, Vader, and stormtroopers. I'd love a game in the Dark Times. I dont think it is overused at all, unlike the Clone Wars and OT era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabretooth Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Obsidian's gushing over getting some of that Disney money is almost getting a bit embarrassing. At this point, I just hope EA tosses them a bone so we won't have monthly articles about Urquhart's desire to make another Star Wars game. >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthParametric Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 The only hope I would see for Obsidian is getting a sequel or spinoff a few years down the track for whatever new SW series Bioware comes up with. But under EA, that seems highly unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miltiades Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 It was RPS who contact them. Yeah, if anything, they're the ones gushing over Obsidian's pitch. And judging from an earlier article, RPS aren't about to let that go as long as Obsidian haven't given up on it, it seems. It does seem rather unlikely, but with all the news I've been reading in these last few months, I'm not sure I should just dismiss this outright.
