Burrie Posted February 26, 2003 Posted February 26, 2003 And play up on Corran's ego even more... (I like Corran Horn, but a bit too much of a superhero whenever Stackpole writes him, IN MY PERSONAL OPINION) Quite frankly, I wouldn't know wether RPGs based on existing EU could work very well... after all, most of the story has already been decided and such, and every surprise has been revealed. Sure, they could add subplots or change parts of the game, but there won't be any real surprise. Of course, branching plotlines could be an option, but still... I prefer an RPG with a totally new storyline rather that it's based off an existing one. I liked the Episode I game, basically because I liked redoing several parts of the film, but I enjoy games with new storylines more.
Notion Posted February 27, 2003 Posted February 27, 2003 This is the perfect time-frame to do an RPG in SW. The only thing that would be better is maybe post-NJO. That would be cool to see Han or Luke somewhere as an easter egg. YOu know, a familiar timeframe.
covenant_bad Posted February 27, 2003 Posted February 27, 2003 I think setting KOTOR when it is, allows Bioware to stretch the linsences and create new cooler characters that have not previously been seen. I certainly think that this time period is much more appropriate for Jedi wannabes as if it was post-ROTJ there would be a very limited number of ways the story could go, e.g getting rid of the last imps, joining the jedi academy. And anything else remotely interesting like fighting the reborn emporer is all EU and wouldn't be used. So im happy the choice bioware made and look forward to it.
Hannibal Posted February 27, 2003 Posted February 27, 2003 Another good reason for setting the game in a different time period is the voice overs. We don't have to hear some crappy Obi-Wan that doesnt sound like Obi-wan(ala the XBox Obi-Wan game.) Man that guy was all nasally(is that a word?).
covenant_bad Posted February 27, 2003 Posted February 27, 2003 The Obiwan on the Xbox game sounded like someone had shoved a broom up his backside and blocked his nose.
Jo Posted February 27, 2003 Posted February 27, 2003 i like the setting..but i think the next game needs to be an action one..with just force powers and a lightsaber,and one little green kick A** dude, yeah we need a YODA game...
Burrie Posted February 27, 2003 Posted February 27, 2003 I disagree, we already have Jedi Outcast and such.
Jo Posted February 27, 2003 Posted February 27, 2003 im talkin force powers and a lightsaber...NO OTHER WEAPONS, you gotta admit that would rock...IMO:D
Clemme w/Stick Posted February 27, 2003 Posted February 27, 2003 Originally posted by Katarn07 They have the most freedom in this era. I like it, better story. Yeah, I'm with him on that one. Its better to have it in the Old Republic Era...! Besides, its nice to have a new story from time to time..! -Clemme
Swat Posted February 28, 2003 Posted February 28, 2003 I disagree, we already have Jedi Outcast and such. i hate the way they designed lightsaber combat, u can't wield the lightsaber any direction other than up down while standing still! hope they solve that in jkIII
Thrift Posted February 28, 2003 Posted February 28, 2003 We don't have to hear some crappy Obi-Wan that doesnt sound like Obi-wan(ala the XBox Obi-Wan game.) Oh my god, amen to that!! Yeah I will support that one 100% I assumed it was a young Sean Connery trying to do Ewan McGregor’s version of Alec Guiness.
