Burrie Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 I was browsing through some old Bioware posts when I came across this interesting tidbit.. There are 2 types on NPC deaths in the game. There are scripted story deaths that occur if you have followed a particular story line (and I'm not giving away who or when, so don't ask ). These are permanent and, if you complete the branch of the story, the death will be permanent. There are also what I call "Combat Deaths". These are where your NPCs are in battle with you and loose all their hit points. If this occurs the NPC will be unavailable until the entire combat encounter has been completed. So, for example, the PC and Canderous have been attacked by 4 war droids. You manage to kill 2 but, before the next 2 can be defeated Canderous "dies". The PC is then left to try to defeat the remaing 2 droids by themself. If they succeed, they can "revive" Canderous using healing packs or Jedi skills. The same applies if the PC dies but there are party NPCs left alive. If they make it through the encounter they can revive the PC after its over. But if all your party NPCs are dead and then the PC dies, well.... you better have a saved game. Speculation time : Who do you think will die in one of the storylines? Here's my personal speculation on the characters they've introduced so far. Carth Onassi : I believe he'll prove to be a regular boy scout in the end. He'll probably survive the light side of the story, but will turn on you once you'll go dark. Calo Nord : I find this character to be rather interesting, and am curious wether he'll actually join your team or not. If he doesn't, I think you'll be forced to slay him on the Light Side, and he just might join you if you'll go Dark Side. Bastilla Shan : A survivor on both parts of the tale. For the Light Side, she'll probably be an important part for the finale, and for the Dark Side, I think she'll join your side. In fact, I fully expect her to join the Dark Side at one point, and it'll be our job to get her back to the Light Side. Rakata : Their biography make things a bit tough... either they've already vanished in the KotOR universe, or 4000 years later. Lucasfilm urged Bioware to destroy a planet or two, right? I think that their homeworld is on the list of potential planets to explode. Jolee Bindo : Let's see... he's a Jedi Master who seemingly abandoned the order and doesn't want anything to do with the Force anymore... he probably will return at some point... there's a chance that he will tutor the PC in the ways of the Force. You know, this guy has death written all over him. Canderous Ordo : This character can go either way, I think. For the Dark Side, he will probably join your cause for the right money. However, if you follow the path of the Light Side, I actually think that this character will redeem himself by sacrificing his life for the greater good, or something like that. I dunno, it seem rather farfetched... Sith trooper : Oh yeah, they'll be killed, lotsa times Saul Karath : I think the same story applies here as with Calo Nord. Dies on the light side by his ship self destructing, lives to join your cause when you go Dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taos Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 I'm going with Jolee Bindo. I've always said that he has too much of the Obi-Wan role going......so my points are on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eets Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 I think Bastilla's gonna kick the bucket. She reminds me of Aribeth from NWN.. Good looking, dedicated to serving people, and emotionally unstable.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uber_Saber Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 I agree on Jolee... I mean, what's he got to live for anyway? Arthritis? I don't think they're going to kill Bastila, it's probably going to be Carth or Canderous. Here's a question: Is Bandon going to die, or get away for the sequel?

Hannibal Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 I think Jolee Bindu will die as well. Along with some of the Jedi Council(hopefully). I want to see a non-space big battle between the Jedi and Sith(with lightsabers). FPS would probably be 1 with what I'm looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burrie Posted March 28, 2003 Author Share Posted March 28, 2003 I want to see a non-space big battle between the Jedi and Sith(with lightsabers). If they can deliver a battle like that, I am gonna be so freakin' amazed... just picture it : one massive landscape, Sith and Sith troopers on side, the Jedi and the Republic troopers on the other... that's literally stuff that dreams are made of.

dark jedi 8 Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 hell yeah that is! i'm thinkin Bindo and Carth. maybe Bastilla. i think the apprentice of malak's will be a boss to play around 3/4 of the game. just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
