How will this work in the game? WIll you have two different buttons for each sabre, or will it be like combined moves? This aspect is quite puzziling. Also do you think your character has to have some sort of ambedextrious ability?

 

I can't wait for the game, i'll probably be playing it on both platforms, just to see how they differ, and i'll be getting a wookie as soon as i can :D

You won't be able to activate one blade at a time. Both will come on at the same time.

 

Also a while back the devs said there wouldn't be a button to ignite and de-ignite your saber. But when a official forum member inquired about it they said they'd check on it. So we'll have to wait to see if that makes it in.

I think he means if u fight with 2 singlebaded lightsabers. I don't really know about the on/off switch, but I saw screens of handles only in the gallery @ the official site from LucasArts, but that might be a combat vs non-combat mode if they have that.

As for double sabres in KotOR,you can only switch on both blades at once,neither one at a time.Hope that helps.

 

Are you sure about this one? I can remember reading that you can only activate both blades on double-bladed saber(aka Darth Maul's saber), but I really don't see a reason why you won't be able to activate one saber, and half-way thru the fight activate your second saber?

I can tell you why you won't be able to :).

Because there will be no key(yet) to activate your saber.

When you get into a combat situation it will ignite automatically. So if you are holding 2 they both will ignite and will combat is over they will automatically un-ignite.

 

Now like I said earlier one of the Devs said that they were looking at adding the ability to ignite and un-ignite your sabers with a key(or button) but as of when the question was asked(a couple of weeks a go) there was no such key/button. :D

'oi, I knew that :p

 

Basically, I was more referring to the fact that you can surely change weapons in the middle of combat, roit? So what's keeping me from first using one saber at the start of the fight, and halfway through pausing the game, add a saber to the weapon slot, and continue fighting?

that's the kinda thing i was thinking, also does anyone know how having two sabers will be an advantage over having one? (except for obvious reasons)

 

I believe that with two sabers, you can make two attack rolls in one round. Of course, this has several penalties(ie. lower chance of actually hitting your foe) whom will be decreased if you have several feats.

Yeah, what he said. :D Just like in NWN.

 

It's to bad you won't be able to use a saber and pull out a blaster in the other hand. That would(:))kick @$$. They already said this won't be possible. :(

Okay, I've been a bit out of the loop, so to speak, but I thought weapon selection might be a bit along the lines of NWN...where you could set up quick slots for different weapons. Doesn't that mean you could have a slot for two sabers, and a slot for one? I know you can set up a slot for two swords in NWN... If that's the case, it should be simple to switch between using one or two sabers...unless it's set up completely differently. :confused:

This may or may not have been answered but,can lightsabers get damaged,and do we gotta recharge them?? If i use a double-edge,can it be cut in two like Darth Mauls??

:dmaul3:

I know you can choose your saber color,but can you change it during the game?If i start with say...bespin blue,can i change it later to green or purple?

Sorry,if this was answered already,if it was,i missed it then.

Well, I remember some discussion about that on the official boards, but I don't think the devs ever gave a clear answer.

 

*looks to Com and Hannibal* (they usually know all the official boards info*

 

And yes, you can change the crystals in your saber during the game so you will be able to change the color. :)

They can animate that.

I hope they have it just because it would be cool.

I don't imagine at any point the enemy AI will just be staring at you.:)
