Male Twi'lek was my first choice, but if they had male Zabrak I would have chosen that. If I was a Zabrak, I would not be a Darth Maul clone. I would have deliberately chosen a different colour scheme and dual sabers. I really hope an official spe...  [Read More]

He looks nothing like Affleck, and I myself have been known to draw baseless similarities between people. I wish there was a face/head customisation screen that lets you manually change the size and shape of facial features. And there should be a ni...  [Read More]

I voted SP only, since I'll almost never play against human opponents. I have a hopeless net connection, and I don't know many people with computers in my dormitory. If I ever play MP it'll be with bots. SP Darkside Lightstaff, SP Lightside Dual Sabe...  [Read More]

If I was going to be a male Zabrak, I wouldn't have the same head and colour scheme as Darth Maul. Since I don't like playing as girls, and I don't like the male aliens, I'm gonna stick with human male. I just hope there's enough different heads and...  [Read More]

In JO there were options for "3rd Person Saber" and "1st Person Guns". These set the default views depending on what you were wielding. Maybe they should just add another option called "3rd Person Vehicle" or some such t...  [Read More]

If the Imperial Repeater comes back (and it's likely it will, I think) I would like it so that the player can defend themselves from the secondary fire (energy grenade thing) with a Force push, just like enemy Jedi can (in JO). Also, I think enemy J...  [Read More]

I think having an unobtrusive bar for a friendly NPC's health would be a nice idea. Either that or have main characters display damage decals on their bodies for 60% and 30% health. We didn't really need a health bar for Galak in JO because defeatin...  [Read More]

The free movies from IGN are 2.9MB 2.8MB and 3.4MB in size hence their low quality. The pay-for movies are 5.1MB 5MB and 6.2MB so I'd expect them to be better. These movies are different to the ones on GameSpot. The ones I downloaded there are in Qu...  [Read More]

RE: Grip + Dual Sabers In that movie, the player is holding two sabers, and when she uses grip, she gestures with her left hand just like what happens in JO, except she's holding an ignited saber in the same hand. What I thought might have been bet...  [Read More]

From the recent game movies, it looks like we'll be able to wield either dual sabers or a light staff, and switch back to a single saber when ever we want. This way everyone has access to the same number of stances. We won't be able to switch from du...  [Read More]

What I meant with the cutscene pre-rendering was that when the game pre-renders a cutscene, it can turn all the detail right up, and have all graphical features turned on, since it doesn't have to aim at the >25fps mark. When I first played JO, I...  [Read More]

What I reckon they should start doing, is at least give users the option of having all cut scenes pre-rendered. If the cutscenes use the game engine, then I want to be able to spend up to 2-hours per cutscene converting them into video files for auto...  [Read More]

I agree with you in that there should be better level design. More areas that you might not have to go through to finish a level would make it more like we had a choice. And there should be more secret areas with bonus rewards for finding some or all...  [Read More]

"Non-linear" gameplay will still allow for good story telling. JA will actually only be partially non-linear. The non-linear missions will be arranged in linear groups, so i'm guessing that major story events will occur when you finish a se...  [Read More]
