Guest Jed Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 Do you think there will be any heavily involved side missions about family feuds, etc.? That would be very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Apprentice Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 Well, I remember when the first previews were coming out they said that the most powerful Jedi in the galaxy would be your sister/brother. I don't know if it is right or not anymore, but I am ready to see what happens. I have a feeling that family should play some part in the story though, hopefully.

Taos Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 Yeah, Bastila is your sister. For real. Nah, I'm j/k - It could happen though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrion Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 Originally posted by Jedi Apprentice Well, I remember when the first previews were coming out they said that the most powerful Jedi in the galaxy would be your sister/brother. That sounds an awful lot like Baldur's Gate... You were basically the spawn of an evil god called Bhaal. The two most powerful Bhaal spawns were you and,well, your sister who you were raised with most of your life. That and the fact that there were other Bhaal Spawns who were powerful..of course, at the end of the expansion, it was just nothing but the slaying of your bhaal-kin.. This would be interesting,though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ultimaster Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 I read somewhere that there is a side-quest and it is possible to end up with a marriage!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark jedi 8 Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 really?! where at ultimaster? it would be interesting though. but i dont think it would be necessary to enjoy the game? would it? i dont think it could happen unless your a jedi though, and that doesn't really make sense, unless marrying is not against the jedi code back then.

Jedi Apprentice Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 Originally posted by Com Raven No sibling, sorry... Another one of your premonitions? You do seem to have a good knack for guessing these things though. Or did you read this somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burrie Posted April 10, 2003 Share Posted April 10, 2003 Mmmm, I still expect that there will be SOMETHING. If not with your PC, then with one of the NPCs. (As someone stated, Carth Onassi and Bandon DO look alike) Plus, what would be the main reason be that the main hero has GOT to be a human?

ras1310 Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 Originally posted by Burrie Plus, what would be the main reason be that the main hero has GOT to be a human? I think it is a case of simplifying the variables. We all know how humans behave, so it's simpler to program the NPCs to react to one species rather than a range of them. The game is also heavily story driven, so we should feel an immediate connection with a human character that we might not with an alien. Or put another way, we can immediately start getting into character, without having to figure out an alien mindset while interacting with others. Finally, the only major non-human character in Star Wars is Yoda. It's a Star Wars habit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, it might be a reason for them... still, why would they offer various races for the Baldur's Gate games? Oh wait, of course, not all the lines were spoken. Finally, the only major non-human character in Star Wars is Yoda. It's a Star Wars habit. Ahem... Chewbacca.... R2-D2... C3PO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Com Raven Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 Hmm, C3PO or R2-D2 are more mayor characters for me than Yoda... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burrie Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 Mayhaps, Raven. Still, I can vaguely remember reading somewhere that George Lucas mentioned that the Prequel Trilogy is the story of Obi-Wan, Anakin, Padme AND Yoda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Tahu Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 Finally, the only major non-human character in Star Wars is Yoda. It's a Star Wars habit. Actually,you mean humanoid. Anyway,I'd like the marriage part.What if you could give birth to kids? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark jedi 8 Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 actually, vader is one of the major characters in the movie and he's not human. Ex: to quote obi wan, " he's more machine now than man, twisted and evil." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimaster Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 Sure Vader is human. Just cuz he got beat up and lost all kinds of limbs and whatever doesn't mean he stops being human. Obi-Wan just means that he has lost most of his organic makeup. he's got a lot of implants, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ras1310 Posted April 12, 2003 Share Posted April 12, 2003 Originally posted by Toa Tahu Actually,you mean humanoid. No, I meant exactly what I wrote. Eets is right -- although I admit I considered including R2-D2. Also, Vader is definitely human. He may be half machine, but the thinking half is human, and that's what matters.

Eets Posted April 12, 2003 Share Posted April 12, 2003 Actually, Humanoid would still probably be a better descriptive word than Human, since Human implies being from Earth... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
