heh. most of the time i didn't realise i HAD a new weapon until about 2 levels after i had picked it up. :( Several I never used. Not going to happen, but ideally I'd go for: - Fists for knocking out disarmed people - BlasTech DL-44 or Bryar Pist...  [Read More]

the reason you can't block the concussion is that it is a patch of compressed air.... so there is nothing there to block. Personally i think it is important there is the odd weapon you can't block. I always hated the level with all those disruptor...  [Read More]

ok, i only played the demo of EF1 (ok, terrible MP) but i did find several bits of JO to be a bit TOO star treky (disruptor). I did play DS9 THe Fallen after playing JO and, although the graphics were looking a bit dated, i did like a few things ab...  [Read More]

sounds like with dual sabers you might be able to put (throw) away one and then use single stances. maybe. i always thought the stances were a good idea done badly, so i'd be happy if every saber setup only had one stance. but that is just me....  [Read More]

id seemed silly that you could casually pull the weapons from groups of most people, but some people you just couldn't. I'd also go for the "hold down" approach. With tougher enemies hanging onto their weapons for longer. You could have a...  [Read More]
