I finally finished Kotor 2. My favorite of the two was Kotor 1 by far. 2 had way too many cinematics that take over, one after another, after another, after another. If I want to watch a movie, I'll watch a movie. I play computer games because I want to actually play computer games.

Great action shots. That Mandalore's helmet looks really cool. The wide eye visor slit reminds me of the robodude from the old movie 'The Day the Earth Stood Still'.

And congrats on beatin' the game with yer toon!

mALX: It took me a long time to come to think of those ships as Hammerheads. The entire first time I played it years ago I never even made that leap at all. I just thought they were Screwdriver Ships back then. It was just a few weeks ago I imagined one sideways, and realized would look just like a hammerhead shark.

Mandalore is the one in the cool armor. He's the leader of the Mandalorians. It's from a mod, that changes the armor of the Mandalorians in the game to the same style as worn by Jango and Boba Fett in the Star Wars movies. I think that looks much better than the vanilla Mandalorian armor from the game.

The Force Leap is really cool in the Kotor games. It almost instantly puts you across the map, and looks really cool for that split second it takes to get there. Your character actually does a flip in mid-air as they leap.

There is no armor or weapon repair in these games. There are some options to upgrade your gear with improvements. The system is pretty basic in Kotor 1, and gets really fleshed out in Kotor 2 - with tons more new options.

The Kotor games are fun. But they are not open worlds like a Bethesda game. There are only a certain number of places you can visit, and you have to visit them and advance the game's plot in them. The only real freedom is that you can choose the order in which you do some of them, and which side quests you want to do, and how you do them (there is a basic good/evil choice to most of the quests).

OMG, I missed this one! Urk, I am so sorry!!! Feel free to smack me remind me if I am late getting here when you have updated; the way things are going in RL, I don't even remember my own name lately.


Bold = So either way it was some kind of tool ship?


Gaaaah, you should know better than mentioning Boba Fett; backpacks; or jets around me!

Oh, this really tells me a lot about the game, thank you so much!



Wow, this first shot is amazing! Did your gun cause those flames?


Man, this is some great battle shots! I love this, and it was the same in Fallout 3 - when in a big battle like this; I like the battlefield to look like all hell is breaking loose - It looks like this game does even better than Fallout 3 at blowing up the scene !!! Awesome shots !!!!


Is your character the pretty redhead in the gorgeous armor? She looks Awesome! I like how she is just standing watching the fight, lol.
Oh no, wait - you are Brigantia, so who is the redhead?

Man, that pinheaded guy with the red-marked head is freaky looking!


Wow, the redhead jumped in to fight in that last shot, I see her sword! Is she on Brigantia's side? I hope so, her light saber is lighting up the whole area !!!

These shots are fantastic!!!!

I'm really sorry again for missing these - and Thank You, THANK YOU so much for the Banished game! I've been having a blast with it! My current build is in year 12/winter - not having trouble yet, but Ijust noticed a bunch of them are over 70 years old, the rest are over 55 except for 4 in their 30's and one 7 year old child. Urk. So I do see issues in the future unless I open a tavern or something to lube them up so they will start procreating.

I did finally lose one member, but it was from old age; not disease/freezing/starving/etc. I've learned a few things too, so if I have to start over, I'll do better next time.

Thank you again for it, I love it!

- but agree with the sentiment!

Oh noes! Fette's Vette!

The flames were a scripted event that happens when the Mandalorians board the bad guy's ship. That whole scene is all scripted. FO3 actually did a better much job of portraying big battles. The explosions are much more immersive.

The red head is Visas. That is actually a red hood that she never takes off. You never see her hair, or her eyes. She is too cool for that stuff!

I am glad you having so much fun with Banished. So you have a bunch of old farts? Better get working on that fountain of youth!

I added one well, lol. Somehow I didn't "get" the idea of the market place, both of mine are out of the way. If I have to make a new town, I'll know better next time.

And I've been throwing up houses like mad, hoping some of those oldsters will get some renewed energy - at least enough to make a child before they pass; darn it! I wonder if the Herbalist knows how to make viagra?




Oh, by scripted - do you mean that fiery scene is one of the movie things you were talking about earlier? (Or is it scripted like the implosion of Raven Rock where it is actually taking place and your player controls are still intact (unless Fawkes force greets you right when you are trying to watch the explosion of the century and shoot helicopters out of the sky).

[SubRosa]

It is basically a movie that runs once you get to that part of the game. Then after it runs you get to play the game again.

Oh, now that is irritating.

Kotor 1 is getting a remake! A team of modders/indie developers is working on recreating the entire game using the Unreal 4 engine. You will still need to own the original game, as it uses the sound and music from it. Hopefully it won't get shut down by EA and Disney. Because the screens from it look really cool.

I saw something about this the other day. I applaud the people over at Apeiron for doing what Disney and EA should have been doing once they got their paws on the franchise. Unfortunately I don't think this will ever be released. An extremely popular game with a rabid global audience gets an update and neither Disney nor EA sees a profit from it? Not going to happen... too bad for us.

The Unreal Engine is free to download; and they give out numerous tutorial vids free on how to program it; anyone up for making some cool games, I'll play them!

KotOR and The Sith Lords are quite possibly the best Star Wars games ever made. Khajiit loves them both; KotOR for the story and The Sith Lords for the little additions it added to KotOR's formula.

[Kiln]

I wish they'd made KotOR 3 instead of an MMO. Disappointing really.

KotOR had the better story, but I prefer the characters of TSL. Though I wouldn't call the additions small. Prestige classes and the greatly expanded weapon upgrade system are just fantastic.

Such a wasted opportunity.

Don't know if you guys are aware but there's apparently a remake of KotoR being made rn. I think in the Unreal Engine? Saw some videos and found it really cool; Skyrim-esque, totally, what with a FPS view and all that jazz.

Yeah, Khajiit thinks it's being done by a bunch of modders. This one wonders if this is legal.

I put a link to it about 8 or 9 posts up.

Embarrassed admission: Yeah, Khajiit actually clicked on it after seeing it up there today! It does look like Darth Sidious said "I will make it legal!", but this one did notice the article also said Disney could shut the project down.
