HyperAquaBlast Posted July 10, 2001 Share Posted July 10, 2001 In Dark Forces we had shield belts as protection against things which i kinda liked since Kyle was a mercenary. In Jedi Knight we still had them but they didn't seem in character with the new Jedi persona in my opinion. Well since Kyle is a full fledged Jedi in Outcast I think his new protection should just be his Saber and The Force. what do you guys think I would love to see this in Outcast although it may prove difficult to stay alive then in the previous games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathBoLT Posted July 10, 2001 Share Posted July 10, 2001 I think shield belts would be fine, but they need to change: 1) collect shield recharged in square form. it feld kinda odd that he picked up dozens of shield belts instead of power packs for them. 2) shield belts should protect agaisnt head shots w/ blaster. you should have to drop their shields sufficeintly b4 u have a go at exposed flesh. I also hope it takes under 15 blaster shots to drop the shields/kill Katarn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PreTZeL Posted July 10, 2001 Share Posted July 10, 2001 id rather go without shields, it is kinda...weird, you dont see anyone (or hear) with shields, especially not a jedi, good thread to think about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt-- Posted July 11, 2001 Share Posted July 11, 2001 protection? You mean condoms? j/k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HyperAquaBlast Posted July 11, 2001 Author Share Posted July 11, 2001 no not condoms cuz in the star wars univerese they dont use condoms they use death star super laser sperm eliminators but i think the saber should be your only protection and the 2nd firing mode on the saber should bring it to a defensive stance instead of autoblock (could be toggled on/off in options for autoblock). i dunno could be cool would make duels much more easier with such control over your saber [ July 11, 2001: Message edited by: HyperAquaBlast ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathBoLT Posted July 11, 2001 Share Posted July 11, 2001 I don't think him having a personal shielding system is too hard to swallow.. just a hold over from his mercenary days, which he began his career as a hero in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jipe Posted July 11, 2001 Share Posted July 11, 2001 who cares about realism, anyways? the guy's holding a lightsaber and casting "spells".. I don't think a shield system is that far off. besides, I would want as much protection as I can get.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Letalis Posted July 11, 2001 Share Posted July 11, 2001 Jipe, it's not about our realism, it's about Starwars Universe realism, and the realism there is that Jedi's don't need shields to protect them, they have the Force. But I kinda like the fact that it's a hang-over from his mercenary days. That's a clever thought. I imagin there'd be some stuff he doesn't want to leave behind!

WD_ToRMeNt Posted July 11, 2001 Share Posted July 11, 2001 Letalis has a good point there. They could take shields away but maintain game balance by increasing health, lowering the weapons damage or things of that nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest digl Posted July 12, 2001 Share Posted July 12, 2001 But in JK he was a Jedi and used shield, so theyll probably keep it like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PreTZeL Posted July 12, 2001 Share Posted July 12, 2001 yeah but digl, you have to think: did they even realize that there would be such an importance on them as he becomes a jedi...he didnt even start as a jedi, or even become one fully till more than halfway through the game, he was still quite a mercenary...and this game should shift the importance away from blasting everything in sight...maybe, guns levels/matches should have shields, and there should be no shields at all in lets say...bgj equivalent what do you think?

Letalis Posted July 12, 2001 Share Posted July 12, 2001 That's good Pretzel, cool idea, depending on what you're doing/playing you have a different Kyle, one can be a Jedi Kyle, the other a Mercenary Kyle! Only problem is that it lacks consistancy with play. Still we can hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
