Jedi Apprentice Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 You just woke up from your carbon chamber? I sure hope Malak isn't related to someone in the game. That would be too ironical in my opinion. I am almost hoping for no family ties now and just that the characters have possibly met before. EG: Bindo/Bastila know of Malak, etc. Just my two cents......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheChosenOne- Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 yo KaBuTaR,you could allows head to NY and try out my xbox-lol.I agree,i got both psx2 and xbox along with PC games.Greed is good.This whole theory or theories about family connections and romantic plots is interesting.Me--i'd like to be surprised.But i'm sure I'd try to start a romantic connection or two.We really don't need family soap opera crap like the skywalkers or Angel-lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaBuTaR Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 ChosenOne - thanks for the offer Romantic subplots are good. they'd certainly increase the overall interactiveness of the game. Family ties... no. Too cliched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheChosenOne- Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 PLEASE no more family drama.....it gets tired quick.Like games with a main character thats the chosen one...hey wait a sec-thats my name-lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burrie Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 Originally posted by KaBuTaR technically tho burrie, you don't have to wait 6-7 months... you could rent an XBOX and play the game for a weekend or two... thanx to TheChosenOne- for that idea Technically, yes, I suppose I could... but I guess I'll be waiting those 6-7 months... if I'm gonna play KotOR, I want to immediatley do it from the start till finish in one fell swoop, not merely a quick weekend. I want to experience the whole adventure as it is, not just quickly in a weekend. Plus, just think how I'll be once I have to return the X-Box... I'd be going mad trying not to go after spoilers. Besides, I don't have a shop close by that rents X-Boxes anyway plus... the stupid thing is... to be completely happy you'd have to get at least two or three consoles... coz I REALLY like FF8 but can't play that on XBOX, it's PS... I really want to play the Rogue Squadron sequels (Rogue Leader I & II) but they're GameCube which really sucks... so yea. and they're not releasing for PC either which is really stupid. Och, you COULD'VE gotten Final Fantasy 8 on the PC, like I did As for the Rogue Squadron games, it IS a damn shame that they won't be released for the PC. I really expected them to be ported, just like Starfighter was... burrie, perhaps i will join you in the chat room in a bit. Bah, I saw y'all there when I woke up... everyone left about an hour after I got there PLEASE no more family drama.....it gets tired quick.Like games with a main character thats the chosen one...hey wait a sec-thats my name-lol. Although I wouldn't mind if one of my henchman has some family problems, I guess it would kinda detract if something happens with a player's family... As for the main character being a chosen one, good point actually... I wonder wether they'll have a whole prophecy, in which the main character IS a chosen one. That would be a wee bit too cliche for my tastings as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about if your character makes the prophecy? Windu from TPM. "You refer to the prophecy..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaBuTaR Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 I'd like to get FF on the PC, but I don't know where to get it from, and I'm pretty sure nobody carries it anymore there's always ebay though... hehe. as for the main character being the chosen one... it would be expected but would also be somewhat cliched... but then having Bastila as the Chosen One would make you seem somewhat secondary... sorry to have missed you yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedi3112 Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 The gamer always is the hero so it would indeed be kinda strange to have Bastilla as the Chosen 1, since that would make the gamer a sidekick. However I do think Bastilla still is a very important character. Almost as important as you I think and because the bio still has a lot of room for development I think you are the major factor in the choices she makes (and partly because of her importance) so I doubt it's in the script she will fall. If she does I think it will be because of you. Maybe you are being too good/holding her back/drag her down with you/getting yourself hated by her. There can be lots of things you do that will make her fall and I think that is part of the story you're writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaBuTaR Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 jedi3112, I think you could be right... those are a good set of points. It'd certainly be interesting to see the game play out based on your choices. WHY do we have to wait? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burrie Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 I believe most of us can agree that our player will pretty much be the chosen one... granted, I don't think that we'll receive such a title, but our character will have an important factor on the galaxy for the upcoming dozen years or so. WHY do we have to wait? Because we want to be sure that we'll have a quality product when it's finished? Oh wait, it was rhetorical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedi3112 Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 I also doubt you will actually be called 'Chosen 1', but I think that you're just the closest of all. I think you actually could become as powerfull and important in the SW universe as Anakin Skywalker (wich is why the last name of my character will be Skywalker) so 'chosen 1' would be quite an accurate title. Oh and from the new screens I saw here it looks like they got the lightsaberthing (where the lightsaber suddenly stopped) fixed (92 of 94), although it might just be in the crystals. And screens 93 and 94 look familiar with me if they only added a certain female senator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaBuTaR Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 3112, I think you mite be right about that saber... the one in cap 92 does look perfect! ok it could have been the crystal but at least we know the flat tip is not universal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burrie Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 Are you referring to this picture? If so, the saber does indeed look different to what we've seen in other shots. Problem is, those screenshots are rather old(it's amongst the first screenshots that they released), and I really doubt wether they look like that.

KaBuTaR Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 But why would lightsaber quality go *down* over development time as opposed to up? doesn't really seem to make sense to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty_V2.1 Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 Isn't that the saber style that the people over at the bio-forums were complaining it looked too much like a tooth pick lol? I'm sure they will fix the problem before release, I can live with those stupid flat tips buggin me tho..perhaps it would drive me crazy eventually but I'll live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaBuTaR Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 Aaargh! First they complain it's a toothpick, then when it's changed, it looks like a hat. At least the toothpick looks slightly more realistic!!! we should swarm the BioWare forums and get them to fix it... edit: 200 posts/200 points hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uber_Saber Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 Trust in Bioware. I think they know what a lightsaber looks like. Personally, I've only seen the chopping off of the blades in a couple of shots. I also had an idea- what if Carth was Karath's protoge? Here's an excerpt from his bio at the official site: A skilled pilot and superior tactician, he has always faced his duty with grim determination, believing that loyalty and dedication to the Republic would see him through. He has come to discover, however, that not everyone holds this opinion. Though he will not speak of it, a very personal betrayal has affected him deeply. Duty called him to fight the Sith, but now outright hatred threatens to replace it. Whaddya think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaBuTaR Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 That's a really good point about Carth and Karath. Never actually thought of that myself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burrie Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 It's a thought that has passed my mind on various occasions... the problem is that there are many things what Carth's personal betrayal could be(Bandon is his brother, Karath is his ex-commander, Canderous is responsible for the death of his squad, or it could be something that Bioware hasn't even hinted yet. Of course, it makes for some fun speculation I'm fairly certain that Bioware won't reveal it any time soon. Then again, I'd be kinda dissapointed if they simply posted the secret on the official site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uber_Saber Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 that would be so dissapointing if they did. Part of the fun of a game is learning the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jed Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 Originally posted by Uber_Saber Part of the fun of a game is learning the story. I have confidence in Bioware. They won't simply post the secret, and I doubt they will even when the game's released. The entire fun in an RPG is learning the story. I have a feeling Bioware not only knows this... ...but the plot twist will blow your mind. And now, a commercial break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty_V2.1 Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 lol, you guys think too much:D Speaking of spoilers, it's gonna get more difficult to detect and avoid'em soon, even reviewers say too much occasionaly.. Being the player-character as he/she discovers their destiny is half the game to me!..hmmm well maybe a third:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedi3112 Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 I actually like to speculate about the story, but I don't want the devs to ruin the game by simply posting it. I always think of what might happen also when I'm playing the game, but for me it's basicly part of the game and fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedi3112 Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 I've just read something about a music sample with Bastillas voice does any1 know anything more about this, they didn't mention any site or so to download it from and I can't find it on the pages of LucasArts so I think there may be more music samples over there as well.
