Toa Tahu Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 If we are,then really,no good. What do you all think?I think we should be made able to finish the game whatever we do,as long as we do it effectively.
HertogJan Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 For as far as I know, you're not forced to use it. In the articles, they only said that it would become available to you, later on in the game.
Toa Tahu Posted May 1, 2003 Author Posted May 1, 2003 But the way they said it,it sounded like,"You will be given the opportunity to use the saber staff..." It really sounded like you're forced to use it when it comes.Or at least,when it comes,you'll be forced to use it like how guns are useless against Jedi(try using a conc to any of the Jedi's in JK and see!)
GonkH8er Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 You don't have to use it.... and I don't think you have to use the 2nd saber when you get it either... you can stick with 1 if you prefer, as far as i know
Blademaster_109 Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 i'm 110% sure u get to choose between dual, or saber staff.
t3rr0r Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 Originally posted by Toa Tahu But the way they said it,it sounded like,"You will be given the opportunity to use the saber staff..." opportunities aren't mandatory.
SettingShadow Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 Well, I'm 99 + 1 % sure that when you've gotten to a certain point of the game (like, you have full saber defense or something) you get the chance to construct a lightstaff, two sabers, or just stick with your simple, yet effective, single blade
Taos Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 I don't think they'll make us use one.....I just think it's nice to have choices for once!
txa1265 Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 Personally, I am interested in trying out the dual handed sabers and 'light staff', but would prefer to stay single saber. It really depends on what advantages / disadvantages there are to each. I don't see it much different from the stances, where there are advantages and disadvantages to each, and so long as there is balance in what each saber gives you, it should be more interesting to play. For instance, if they made it so the lightstaff had 'blue stance' blocking abilities front and back, and powerful swings front and back, and kicking ... it would be nearly impossible to balance. But perhaps with a single saber you could perform force powers which still blocking with the saber, or something. They just need to find a way to balance the offence, defense, acrobatics and force power abilities of the three potential types. I would actually like to see you limited to what you carry in terms of sabers as well as guns. For instance, carrying the lightstaff means no 'regular saber', or two sabers cuts out a gun, or something like that. Mike
Toa Tahu Posted May 1, 2003 Author Posted May 1, 2003 No offense,terror,but I remember saying,"...are given the opportunity...",and that suggests that it is indeed 'a treasured' option,and since it's treasured,we MIGHT have to be forced into using it. No offense,just suggesting.Anyway,what would we do if we were(please,no) forced to do so?
taekwondo joe Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 you have a singel blade for awile, then it comes to a point in the game, were you get to have two sabers, or a saber staff, or keep the saber you have. that is all
Pedro The Hutt Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 If we were forced? Well I'd ask another apprentice at the academy to slice the thing in half, give the other half to Luke so that the next fresh student to the academy has a freshly sliced saber to start with and I can go back to using a single saber of sorts XD and if no helpfull apprentices are available I'd break it on my knee or against a corner of the very solid temple walls or something. ^_^
Prime Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 As long as I can stick with my single blade, I'll be happy. And I suspect that this will be the case. The only fear that I have is that the single blade will be less powerful than the other styles.

The only fear that I have is that the single blade will be less powerful than the other styles. From what I've read, they (Raven & LEC) are very sensitive to the balance issues people were concerned about from JKII. I suspect that while they may feel that most will want to 'have a go' with two sabers or the saber staff, they will realize that others will want to do the whole game with a single saber. Just as 'real' jedi use a variety of saber blades, styles and force powers. Should be interesting to see - I think we'll know more in a couple of weeks. Mike
XanaJedi Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 Prime, nor Obi and Qui could not defeat maul alone, because he had a staff saber.. i think they will make the staff saber more powerfull than the normal one.... it makes sense dont u think?
Pedro The Hutt Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 actually both Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon did do fine against him on their own, untill Maul decided to play dirty =p whopping someone in the face with your hilt and then stabbing them during that moment where they're stunned isn't exactly honorable combat, nor is pushing someone down a deep pit and then kicking his saber over the edge. But pointing being they both did very well holding off two blades with just one of their own.

But pointing being they both did very well holding off two blades with just one of their own. Personally, I found that in that battle sequence the difference was that the Jedi were trained to fight 'honorably' and Maul was trained to win. Qui-Gon was matching him, albeit defensively, until he tired. Obi-Wan had the advantage, but failed to forsee Maul's Force Push level 3 out of the saber lock Seriously, Star Wars Insider did a thing about the '7 forms', and described Maul as a type 7, combining strength and speed. So it is the Jedi, not the saber ... Mike

I really hate arguments based on the movies. This is a game and if a game has 7 different totally unbalanced saber styles along with 16 equally unbalanced sabers, all we got is ONE style and ONE kind of saber. The rest is obsolete. A crappy, unbalanced game is a crappy, unbalanced game even though Lord Vaderz really did block a blaster shot with his hand in Teh Movie(!!1). Balance is something that makes or breaks a game. I couldn't care less whether or not Obi or Yoda or Master Skywalker could beat Maul. (Besides, Obi *did* beat Maul.)

So it is the Jedi, not the saber ... Mike I also agree. Qui-Gon and Obi-wan lived in a time where the Galaxy was at relative peace, and spent much of their time doing non-combat related activies, such as diplomacy. Darth Maul, on the other hand, spent his entire life being trained to be a fighting machine. So I think that Maul's talents in combat, not the fact he used a double-bladed lightsaber, were responsible for his effectiveness. Regardless, a padawan learner with a single lightsaber gave him all he could handle
Master_Payne Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 Maybe Maul handle two jedi with his light staff, but Dooku beat a two saber wielding Jedi, so it's 100% about the one using the saber and no the saber itself. I really hopes you can stuck with a single and effective saber.
Rad Blackrose Posted May 2, 2003 Posted May 2, 2003 Originally posted by PromoSidone What about 2 staff sabers Leave it for Omni/JediMOD to handle. Seriously, that stuff is just flat out wrong. Either or, not both. Can't have your pie and eat it, now can you?
Blademaster_109 Posted May 2, 2003 Posted May 2, 2003 where in the world did you get that info in the first place.
