my idea is that atton is your master and as was stated earlier mira dies protecting people on a planet in the rim that has an academy on it.

your padawan should be important to the story.
ex. they could become the romance option
or maybe they fall to the ds and you have to redeem them

The problem with have k2 characters in the next game is the ls/ds choice. If you went ds, then Mira would be dead and Atton (well you don't really know cos the game is incomplete) would be a dark jedi.

I agree with you wholeheartly Darth Sun_Tzu. The whole point of lightsaber forms is a different way to attack(or defend against) an opponent. More animations are a must!

There is no emotion, there is peace.
Try not to get excited again master. The lightsaber forms are a good thing and I think someone came up the idea to create your own lightsaber form so that is another possiblity. What I'm still not understanding is that how the lightsaber becomes more powerful the upgrades do that and as to the increase in hit bonus, isn't that based on how much skill you have with a blade?
@ Darth Sun_Tzu: What you mean is to see a visible increase in the blade's power as you level up?

^What i'm saying is that as you become more knowledgeable in the force you learn how to make/build a better lightsabre. When you first make your sabre you are a padawan and not very good at making lightsabres so it is not very good, say 1-12 damage (this is the base damage level) and it only has a colour crystal slot. So as you progress to a Knight you learn how to make it have 3 crystal slots and it also become more powerful, 1-16 damage.

When you become a Master your knowledge of the workings of lightsabre become complete and you can make the most powerful type of lightsabre (as they are in K2, 3 crystal + 3 upgrade slots, 2-20 damage). You would still have all the feats and forms available but it is plot related rather than anything to do with skill. Which i think is more realistic.

So in a way you want to extend the build your own lightsaber quest?

Don't get me wrong, it would make sense if you were a real Jedi and doing that kind of thing. I guess what I'm thinking of is the practicality of it being in the game.

I had not looked at it that way but yes, it would be an extented quest.

I think it would work but i don't know if people would like it, most are too impatient, they want it straight away. But we all know where that leads.

Yes patience is the key. The only problem I had building the lightsaber was that you had to go to different places to get the parts needed. I guess it made sense considering that the Jedi were near gone and the Sith were coming and there really was no academy perse where you could get the parts.
Perhaps as we go along in KOTOR 3 the Jedi Master or someone who knows the jedi would give the part after completing a certain quest whether it is to aid or discourage other sentients. The order of the skill progression of the blade could depend on your tendencies and skill level.

I guess it depends how the story will go to how they 'do' the lightsabre.

Yes. I wonder if they thought of the possiblity that the master/Sithy Lordcould be the one to held you give the saber more power, power that could easily be lost. Still I think for the flow of things there should be a "teacher" that accompanies the PC. In KOTOR it was Bastilla and in TSL,obvious choice: Kreia. It would sense but even then it wasn't a direct involvement, at least none that I could detect with Bastilla. the exception was Kreia.
