Tyrion Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 Do you start out with a full set which you pick from the start(E.G. Icewind Dale) or do you pick members up as you go along? (E.G. Baldur's gate)?
Eets Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 You pick em up as you go along. Look at Jolee Bindo, for example. You can have him join your party, and along the way convince him to become a Jedi again.
Swat Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 how did u noe that eets? i mean the thing abt that jolee, convincing him go back 2 the jedi order n stuff. anyway if is, is he in the lost 20?
Burrie Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 I personally think he's speculating, but from reading his bio, you can be almost 100% certain that you have to convince him to be a Jedi again... I mean, it seems that he's the typical bitter Jedi Master (mayhaps the previous master of Malak?) who has to be convinced to undergo one last trial/adventure... Either that, or Eets knows more than he's letting on...
Swat Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 who's in the lost 20 that we noe other than count dooku? surely jolee is 1 of them?
Burrie Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 Well, we don't actually KNOW who the lost 20 really are.
-=Hooded-Jedi=- Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 Sorry but what do you guys mean lost 20?
Burrie Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 The lost 20 are the only twenty Jedi Masters who have left the Jedi Order willingly. There was originally a scene in which Obi-Wan spoke of this with Jocasta Nu (the librian at the Jedi Archives), and mentioned that Dooku was apparently one of them. I'm not sure, but there might've been something left of this in the AotC Novelization. As for the other 19, I don't believe there's a list of who they are... possibly Ulic Qel-Droma and perhaps Jolee Bindo... but seeing as how Bindo will possibly return, I don't think he's part of the list.
Hannibal Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 The Lost 20 wouldn't apply to this time period. If you think about it hundreds of jedi left the order to follow the Dark path for the Sith-Jedi War. I think when they say the lost 20 they mean of their modern era.
Pad Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 You can probably try to play through with one character if you want, but gameplay is intended to be party-based. As you proceed, you'll encounter a number of NPCs that can join you. They include various races and droids, although we only saw two humans and a droid assassin. NPCs will have selectable behavior scripts, and each will have its own quests, interactions and vocal interjections. It was re-confirmed that romances will be possible. All of them can travel with you in your space vessel, the Ebon Hawk, which serves as a kind of mobile home base in your interplanetary travel. You can pick your companions for each mission, and can rotate through them in terms of choosing which one you control directly at any given moment. The party system is a bit unusual in that even though you have a main character, the entire party has to be killed before a reload is necessary
Eets Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 Jolee is a Jedi in denial. He probably had some sort of traumatic circumstance that made him leave behind the traditional Jedi ways. Clearly, he's going through some sort of denial in his trying to convince the PC that he's not really a Jedi. Read the conversation in the latest screenshot with him in it.
Taos Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 Eets is right, you just pick up people as you progress through the game. I think it would be fun to try to get Jolee to come back to the order.
Eets Posted January 22, 2003 Posted January 22, 2003 Yeah, that would be mad fun. They may also have some sort of setup like NWN, where you can buy mercenaries to help you.
Burrie Posted January 22, 2003 Posted January 22, 2003 Mmmm, if there were a system like that, I'd suppose that could be a way to get the bounty hunter to join your party.
Taos Posted January 22, 2003 Posted January 22, 2003 That would make things interesting if you were able to have them in your party at one time. I don't know if I'd really trust them.....
Hannibal Posted January 23, 2003 Posted January 23, 2003 Originally posted by Eets Yeah, that would be mad fun. They may also have some sort of setup like NWN, where you can buy mercenaries to help you. In one of the chats(or on the Bioware forums) they said you'd be able to buy droids to fight with you. If you have the credits that is.
Burrie Posted January 23, 2003 Posted January 23, 2003 Ooooh, I wanna buy that sweet assassin droid right away... perhaps not 100% Jedi-Like, but he looks like a fun character. [Edit: Och, this is the first time that I noticed that I'm a pit droid instead of Bantha Fodder... when did this happen?]
Taos Posted January 23, 2003 Posted January 23, 2003 I like the sound of being able to purchase things such as droids. Just adds another element of realism to the game. Burrie-Hey, it happens when you increase your post count by 50. So when you get to 100 you'll have a different rank. If/when you get to 1.000 posts, you can customize your title to whatever you want.* If you happen to be chosen as a mod/admin before 1.000 posts, you can select your title as well. *-Within reason.
Swat Posted January 24, 2003 Posted January 24, 2003 like that r2-d2 astromech as well. it can help u get out of difficult problems like luke on the star destroyer in ANH
Carth Onassi Posted January 27, 2003 Posted January 27, 2003 I want to get a droid like c3p0 and make him into a fighting machine that can use blasters. I've heard somewhere that you will be able to customize your droids.
Swat Posted January 27, 2003 Posted January 27, 2003 u won't want a goldenrod tokking when u're doing the shooting
