Kotor-(pc)-

Tusky

really great game , have not played the X-box version so cant say how different it is but im really enjoying the pc one , Very addictive , im ten hours into it already , I am

just after resolving that thing with the sand people

just a question for the people who are further than me,

I picked a Jedi Guardian and im going full light if possible , however I want to have a double lightsabre , I found one on a Dark jedi , its red and evel ! is it ok for me to use this ? and will I be able to change its colour at a later date ? i.e will it effect my class ?

danke

tba

where did you get that its not out till friday!

Creamy Goodness

from the states?

or he works in a games shop??

Stormfox1020

Tusky as far as i know u can use any weapons and it wont effect your class. Just take ur Double bladed saber to a work bench and but what ever colour light saber crystal you want in there. Me prefers two light sabers instead though.

Tusky

aye just found that out stormfox , now Ive a doubley blue sabreino ! is there any advantage in using just one sabre ?

Jim

no.

must play it actually, got to the end about a month ago and havent touched it since.
no idea why.

Stormfox1020

Just that youve got one hand free :rolleyes:

tba

SOOOOO buying it on friday, 10% off in GAME with membership card

The Smircher

I thought this was supposed to have been released last Friday?

Squall

your to hit foes down if you use a double bladed or 2 sabers. Basically its harder to hit them. Uses the THACO system from D&D i think but you dont really need to know that

Tusky

Im in jail ! Ive been captured on that ship , this is one of the most addictive games ive ever played , 16 hours in and i havnt been bord once , brilliant

CivilServant

The bitch crashed on me after a few hours! Good fun though, lots of side quests at the start. Or maybe it's the plot, cos I haven't got far into it. The card game is fun though but not rivalling the card game on FFVIII

Jim

is the pc version as buggy as the xbox one?

Stormfox1020

I didnt find the xbox version buggy at all. The Jail bit is kool, i got a bit of a heart attack wen it happened tho cuz i thought this was the end and that i would die agaisnt darth malak and i hadnd saved in ages. Good luck on the ship though the last bit is quite tough

tba

I better stop reading this Board untill I get the damn game.

Tusky

just got passed it and BLAH what a plot twist !!! didnt see that one coming , game is geting beter and beter , hope theres a sequel planned

Jim

stop saying stuff!

havent finished it yet.

my xbox version was extremely buggy, the only thing which ruined the game for me. even crashed a couple of times.

Tusky

didnt give anything away....anyone know how long the game is ? im 20 hours in and think im nearing the end...

astrofool

took me 55 but that was with going back and forth loads and re-exploring alot of area's to be thorough

TheSonOfBattles

Took me 51hrs and 7mins, but that was doin a good bit of exploration. Your right by the way Tusky, that is one hell of a plot twist isn't it. I never saw it coming either. Loved it when it happened though. Best game i've played in yonkers. Well worth the purchase.

Jim

if your talkin about the plot twist i think you are then

[where you discover your darth revan? didnt see that either, but afterward i realised its just your basic star wars plot twist, the whole games story is just a big copy of the films, but i suppose its to keep to the true star wars formula. still great game though

satchmo

Woohoo! It's finally out.
Now I have to let it sit on my desk in front of me for the rest of the day, until I can go home and play it. :mad:
What torture!

The Smircher

Where is it on sale?
I've tried a rake of shops and no-one seems to have it.

Big Chief

completed the xbox version and i had to play it again, im now 40 hours into the 2nd time around..

game is one of the best ive had the pleasure of playing in a while and it is so damn addictive yes, the main problem for me is i end up sitting up till all hours playing it and get minimal sleep before work..

you say "just another half hour" and you turn around and about 4 hours have passed..

and i didnt think the xbox version was buggy atall to who ever said that, its crashed once on me in the whole time ive played it.

all round i would give this game 10/10, first game in a while that has the ability to have me on edge of my seat and make me late for work day in day out due to not being able to turn it off..

did anyone else find it extremely hard to goto the dark side? i played the 2nd time around with the intention of going to the dark side but i just felt so damn guilty, i killed dia at the start and just had to reload it.. now im complete light side with the beam etc... (first time i completed it i was around half and half).

i swear i will fall to the dark side atleast once, playing through it again may be an option just to do so!

and for anyone who hasnt got this game, get it and GET IT NOW!

yes the plot twist was amazing and had me gobsmacked, if you havent played it i demand you dont read the spoiler that someone put down, infact i think you should edit your post and take it out as not to ruin things!

infact all mentions of plot twists should be taken out of this thread

I got it in Game Dawson Street, they had tons of copies. Strange you couldn't find it - it only came out today so I doubt its sold out already.

yea Game in dawson street has loads just got one today.

Tusky

40 hours ? 50 hours ? Im just finished after 23 hours what went wrong ?!?!? I done most of the side quests and I explored almost all the ares so how did it take yea an extra 25 hours to complete ?!?!?! is there bits taken out of the PC version ? hrmz anyway regardless of that this game is fantastic , would be up there with the best Ive ever played , I got it last Sunday and finished it about 10 minutes ago, thats very very rare for me to play a game that much ,

as a normal RPG it would have been great but the fact that its star wars and has all the planets and species is really great , I love the choice of doing things , did it light side first time around , gonna play again and go dark,

anyone else think bastila is foxy ?

Stormfox1020

Oh yea, got my guy to shag her 2

Stormfox1020

Big Chief i to intended to go to the dark side the second time around but for some reason i always choose the right thing god damn this fecking selfconscience

Jim

being darkside is far easier than going light.

i admit at first i was hesitant, feeling pity and remorse, but after awhile you get in the swing of things and learn not to brake for the old lady

going dark side you get through the game much quicker, and get much more credits.
havent got near the end being dark yet, interested to see how it makes the ending different.

Given that we are currently playing this x-boxen style any non spoiler tagged spoilers will earn the poster a righteous and probably unfair 2 week ban.

/me is jealous

fscking exams, 3year old PC and lack of cashiness..... *fume*

TheSonOfBattles

I couldn't go dark side either the one time I tried tbh. May try again soon. As for the length differance. You said you were on Kashykk after 10 hours iirc. At the ten hour point I was only just after completing the first planet. So there possibly is a differance. Then again, like I said, I was taking my time, and wandering about for ages the whole time, so...

Oh yea, btw, Bastilla is hot. I concur.

Running around with Bastilla with the clothes item de-equipped makes the force strong in me. Oh yes.

TheSonOfBattles

Heh, so i'm NOT the only perv who did that. Thank christ.

quarryman

benn playing this for a few hours and have to say its excellent. it reminds me of Planescape Torment for its sheer adictiveness and that only be a good thing.

btw what characters classes are people playing? I picked a soldier and played it safe with my stats in str dex and con. is there much to miss out on by not pushing wis and int? after playing for a while I reckoned I could get the other party members to repair etc but i'm only a short bit in so have only got one other guy with me. is is possible to buy droids etc to do all the grunt work and concentrate on combat myself?

Venom

Picked this up at the weekend and its damm impressive

Praetorian

I'm completely addicted to it as well. I've only played it for about 6 hours, but I really was very tempted to call in sick today! Prince of Persia, Metroid prime etc will have to wait a little longer to be completed!

Everything has been great, apart from some of the character’s pompous British accents!

Anyone else having serious problems with the game? Was checking out the offical web site forum (just looking) and alot of people are having problems with lag in certain indoor areas, the apartments on the city world, prison cells on the jedi planet, hunting office on tatoinne etc...

Unfortunatly so am I, and it makes the game completely unplayable.

Help is at hand however a patch to resolve this issue is supposed to be out tomorrow the 9th of December. Maybe then I can get of the Endar Spire.

Iv gotten past the begining section and the first 2 planets finished and havent seen any lag as of yet. Maybe you need to upgrade?

Praetorian

I haven't noticed very much slow down, although the only graphics mode that was available for selection was 1600x1200 @ 85 hertz...which is strange. It runs quite nicely on my 3ghz P4 + radeon 9800pro

Na got recommended hardware profiles and then some. I can run in the outer enviroments with the graphics settings up full and still get over 60fps. Its a hardware problem that is related to the intel chipset and 100mhz FSB issue........... apparently

is there an option to show the fps in the game menus? can't find one.

No believe it or not I checked with my eye, the human brain can tell if the frame rate drops below a certain level, and I have seen no stuttering during the parts of the game I havent mentioned before.

just for reference

shinzon

I have the same problems with lag playing this game only got it today

theres 2 problems associated with KOTOR

1) as mentioned before is the intel problem with the 100 mhz FSB

2) Second problem is with 9600 cards (AGAIN SIGH:) )crashing at the intro screen

Both these problems have been documented on the bioware support forums, theyve released a BETA 1.01 patch for the game which you can get at the forums here


http://swforums.bioware.com/viewtopic.html?topic=280284&forum=80


ive dled it and installed it, it has stopped the crashing at the main menu but the lag remains, the official 1.01 patch according to the support forums will be out in the next week and will hopefully stop the lag once and for all, anybody who has downloaded this beta patch will first have to uninsall it first before patching to the official one

Shin

Venom

It sounds like you guys are not enough above the min specs. Just because your pc can run Kotor dosent mean its able to run it the way its ment to be played.

Tusky

I had no slowdown what so ever , I too had bastilla running around in her underwear :D:D gonna paly through again going darkside after my exams , brilliant brilliant game and heres some good news...

there looks to be a sequel !!!!

tba

a sequel or a prequel?

TheSonOfBattles

More info on this sequel please!!! Same cast, some new, some old, or completely new. New timezone? Oh, the possibilities. I have to know now damn you!

Tusky
