Adam Baldwin from Serenity/Firefly. His voice has that gritty edge in it, just what a fringe character needs. Or Phil LaMarr, he did the voice of Gadon Tekk in KotOR....  [Read More]

The maps look bigger in the trailer. Near the end of it there is a shot where you can see a player selecting an ISD. If you look at the mini-map on the left you'll notice how much larger it has become. Edit: I made a screenshot of what I mean: http:...  [Read More]

Where is a Hapan Battle Cruiser?! There is no Hapan Battle Dragon in the trailer that's just an optical illusion. These are 2 shots I made from the trailer, and in the first it does look vaguely like a battle dragon. But the second one is several se...  [Read More]

I have always liked the intro of Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight. First the well known rolling text and score, then the burning hulk of a Corellian Corvette, followed by the miles long Star Destroyer of Jerec. It was one of the first Star Wars games I pla...  [Read More]

A new character. Building your character is is essential to an RPG. Both Revan and the Exile are powerfull characters at the end of the games. Reusing them would be forced, I mean does anybody want to see Revan or the Exile mindwiped or cut off from...  [Read More]

Alternate endings and customizable characters are noted in the Continuity Notes field. If needed, a definitive ending is chosen (ie the light side ending in Jedi Knight) and recorded into the database. Another example is the decision to make Revan a...  [Read More]

I'd like to see 'form mastery'. Think about it, the longer you train in a particular form, the better you get. A Jedi trained in a particular form would have an advantage to an initiate in the form. In game it could translate into a sub-tree of Jedi...  [Read More]

I just finished it yesterday, and I think it's one of the best EU books I have read so far. Bane's fall to the Dark Side is much more thought out then b.e. Anakin's. I always had found Anakin's turn a little abrupt, while Bane's fall is more slowly,...  [Read More]

I don't want to see either of them back unless they vastly improve them. Both planets were cool in KotOR but in TSL I had the constant feeling they were just being recycled and not at least orignal. That's probably because Obsidian reused most of the...  [Read More]

D20. It's more choreographed combat, more cinematic. It does have the drawback of sometimes not making sense like when your opponent takes a hit in the arm and takes just a couple of points of damage. But I still shrudder when I see the wild flailing...  [Read More]

I also have a Geforce 7800 GTX installed and when running normal it has a av. t° of 40°-45° Celcius. There is a threshhold that stands at 115° C (default setting). Check your t°, if it's C you should really check your cooling. My last system al...  [Read More]

Look at ranged combat for example. It really sucked, no doging, no targetting, no feats, just they do the job for you. I want to move around, duck, jump, strafe, crouch and aim in ranged combat, I also want to have manual grenade throws. How about th...  [Read More]

I really hope they don't change the combat system. It's supposed to be a RPG, if I want a FPS, I'll play Jedi Knight. More visual differences and better bouses for different forms is good though. I would like to see some way of "Form Mastery&qu...  [Read More]

Revans history as it is now, is not complete enough to determine his/her homeplanet. If, like most Jedi, he/she is found at a very young age and trained by the Jedi, his/her homeworld would be Dantooпne or Coruscant. Then the question is what was Re...  [Read More]

Survivor's Quest is a pretty good book with a nice plot twist. It's not the best Star Wars book, but it's a decent read. I'd also like to point out to those who didn't know it yet, that Timothy Zahn, the author of the Thrawn Trilogy, the Hand of Th...  [Read More]
