HunterFett1 Posted February 11, 2003 Posted February 11, 2003 Do you get to walk around where ever you want or do you have to stay in a assigned spot on the missions???
Taos Posted February 11, 2003 Posted February 11, 2003 Do you mean if the game is linear or not? The game is linear yes, but you have lots of room to explore different places......so it's not like JK2 where you can only go here and only go there.....
Lord Glorfindel Posted February 12, 2003 Posted February 12, 2003 Its like this... U r given an objective on a certain planet, in order to complete your objective u must; go to a certain place and pick up something, or talk to someone for info, or kill a sith(s), or stop a conflict between people, etc etc. But u don't have to go directly to the objective, u can go and explore local buildings or parks or villages or Cantinas, and you can fight bad guys while exploring around, and talk to people, ask them to join your party. U can do this for hours on end, but u have to eventually do ur given objective. Almost all RPG's are like this.
Com Raven Posted February 12, 2003 Posted February 12, 2003 You can walk around on the planet you are on freely... planets are in linear order...
Burrie Posted February 12, 2003 Posted February 12, 2003 Really, Com? So if I visit a planet (say Dantooine) which gives me a clue about Malak's whereabouts, I can go to the Ebon hawk and set sail for Korriban, I can't return to Dantooine afterwards unless the story wants it? Bit of a shame... I was personally hoping, for examplethat you could do several subquests on Tattooine, continue on to a different planet to further the storyline, and return on my own to Tattooine to complete several subquests.
Com Raven Posted February 12, 2003 Posted February 12, 2003 No, you can go backwards and visit planets, but you can't visit a planet before you are supposed to
Burrie Posted February 12, 2003 Posted February 12, 2003 In that case, yay! Just what I wanted to hear!
dark jedi 8 Posted February 12, 2003 Posted February 12, 2003 Will there be boundries when exploring? like just walking around tatooine and all of a suddin there is this invisible boundry. I hope that the boundrys are normal like mountains or something. any thoughts?
Taos Posted February 12, 2003 Posted February 12, 2003 Originally posted by dark jedi 8 I hope that the boundrys are normal like mountains or something. My feeling is that it will be like that....... If you are wandering a desert on Tatooine, you just might run into a wall or something though....
[KOC]Qui-Zan Posted February 12, 2003 Posted February 12, 2003 It wont just be an invisble wall, games these days have stuff like rocks or mountains that get in the way so it seems more real
Jedi Apprentice Posted February 12, 2003 Posted February 12, 2003 I just hope it doesn't turn out like Dungeon Siege was with just having one set given path.
Notion Posted February 13, 2003 Posted February 13, 2003 So, in a sense, It's like Morrowind b/c you can goof off and kill things, explore caves (or abandoned spaceports), and all the other good stuff, but in this you have a special task to complete the whole time? You did in Morrowind too, you just didn't have to. I guess you could say the same for Jedi outcast... if you are that insane, you could go exploring on the doomgiver the whole game and never finish, because you didn't WANT to. I guess what I'm asking is, will there be a penalty for not continuing with the main quest?
Swat Posted February 13, 2003 Posted February 13, 2003 hey rave, note it down so u can ask casey on the next chat
Com Raven Posted February 13, 2003 Posted February 13, 2003 Originally posted by Jedi Apprentice I just hope it doesn't turn out like Dungeon Siege was with just having one set given path. Dungeon Siege was different in that because it's an action rpg...
Jedi Apprentice Posted February 13, 2003 Posted February 13, 2003 Originally posted by Com Raven Dungeon Siege was different in that because it's an action rpg... So is this classified as an adventure rpg with some action?
Aerothorn Posted February 14, 2003 Posted February 14, 2003 Its not really like Morrowind, since you can really explore everywhere from square 1 with Morrowind. Its will allow you to explore freely to a point, but don't expect to go tromping over the whole planet- it will probably keep you confined to a few areas. Obviously they couldn't model 6 entire planets.

Obviously they couldn't model 6 entire planets. To scale would it really be feasible to model one entire planet for a game? (I dont know, just guessing)
Yozorama Posted February 16, 2003 Posted February 16, 2003 Originally posted by dark jedi 8 I hope that the boundrys are normal like mountains or something. Heh, as long as we're not talking about the "Motocross Madness-style mountain boundries...
Aerothorn Posted February 16, 2003 Posted February 16, 2003 They couldn't model even one planet. I've never seen the entire earth modeled in a game- there are a series of hundreds to thousands of supercoputers, linked together, in Japan that model and monitor the earth(To check effects on global warming and such) but it can't be done without something like that. Even if you had the time and people, there simply isn't enough hard drive or RAM on a computer.
covenant_bad Posted February 16, 2003 Posted February 16, 2003 hmmm i think monitering temperature and air pressure wouldnt apply in a game, therefore, no need of supercomps?
Com Raven Posted February 16, 2003 Posted February 16, 2003 This is a rpg that lies it's emphasize on story and quests, au contraire to combat... This is not to say that I don't love DS, which I do

This is not to say that I don't love DS, which I do Gotcha. And in that new game "The Getaway" it took them a couple years just to recreate London(or some town over there) in a game. And it wasn't even done perfectly.
Notion Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 Well hopefully there are places you can run off to to level up... places that are just there to explore but don't have to be explored.
Jedi Apprentice Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 Originally posted by Notion Well hopefully there are places you can run off to to level up... places that are just there to explore but don't have to be explored. I can't see there not being a place like that in the game. They're in every other rpg I've played.
Notion Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 Well hack n' slash RPGs don't but I've sadly never played any cliche RPGs like BG and NWN, so I guess they will have quite a bit of freedom.
