KotOR III Character and Class Ideas

[sith666]

What are your ideas for KOTOR III that pertain to characters and classes. I have a few ideas.

1. You can pick your species
2. pick your class, not only jedi or sith but also maybe bounty hunter or something like that
3. pick your characters facial and body features and starting clothes

[Jedi Thomas]

For sure they should let your main be of another species. I wouldnt mind being a twi'lek myself.

For class, the only class I would want to play is the Jedi Guardian. Other than that I dont care.

Appearance customizations would be a great addition. And they should do more that just let you customise your face. They should allow you to choose your height within a range. Your physical appearance ei. How fat or muscular you are.

Although this may not have to do with the player a Lightsabe hilt customizer should be added.

You should also be allowed to make your character amputated with robotic arm's or legs. Even maybe with a bionic eye. I would love to be a jedi with an arm like Boa Dur.

I do doubt the developers that make Kotor III will change much from the origional Kotor's in terms of character creation and game play. But you never know they might actually want to go the extra mile or two but I just hope they dont attempt it and then have to cut it short because of time like they had to in Kotor II.

To much complication, IMHO, and really, I don't see any of it nececarry at all. It would be much to hard to customize almost every little character on the game. I think its fine the way itt is really.

[yoyopogo104]

i think it would be great to be able to customize my character in detail, like in Tony Hawk's games (my character i made on that game looked almost exactly like me! ). i mean, height, thickness (large/skinny), hair style (ok, i know, this is really detailed, but awesome!) etc...hey, maybe even eye color? haha, that mayb be asking too much of the next KOTOR team, but one other thing id like to see is to be able to hear your character talk out loud when u choose their lines, actually have a variety of voice types to choose from (oh, British/Italian accent would be so cool!) *is in heaven just thinkin of the possibilities* yeah...

hm, what else...oh, yeah, if u were a diff species they should let u pick ur skin color (like orange/blue/purple/green twi'lekk) and as for the classes i really dont care. as long as i can master one thing in particular, being the force, combat, diplomatic skills, or a combo of some.

and clothes? dont even get me started...full customization of robe (maybe u have to get to a certain level to get this)...and how come bastila got to wear that awesome outfit? id like to get one like that for my jedi!

and more awsome lightsaber hilts, please!!! (we've already got an array of colors to choose from )

so, neways, LOTS-N-LOTS of customization would be tight!

then again...u can always choose a "pre-made" jedi...

[Hill-Shatar]

I wouldnt go into really that much detail. I mean, different species and stuff, sure, but could you imagine the slower times in the game if facial details and body sizes were that detailed? Different charcters would be great! (I wanna play an Iridorian), but I think the pre picked faces are fine.

[Revan_Reborn225]

I'd love to see a lot of customization options...I mostly hate all the faces they give as options (there've only been two or three I've liked of each gender)...I'm not worried about overloading anything because the new KOTOR would be for the Xbox 360 which has more graphics capacity than the computer I'm using to post on this board =P...

different species would be great, as well as hair/height/build options...maybe even something for tatoos so you can make your own little Darth Maul (not really, but you get the idea, I hope)...

I think your lightsaber hilt should change as you put different upgrades in it. The crystals should actually change how your blade looks too. Like the Barat Ore Ingot description said that lightsabers almost looked like they were losing cohesion, but my blade looked exactly the same...

Classes should be about the same...you can't go wrong with Guardian/Sentinel/Guardian though I think the classes should separate more...each time I played the game I always ended up pretty much the same. I think Guardians should get 1 feat per level and one power per 3 and when they get the power they should get 2 feats kind of like the consular getting 2 powers with the feat every 3 levels...Sentinels should get one feat then one force power and every 3 levels they get 2 of one or the other depending on which is higher (strength/dexterity, wisdom/charisma)...consulars should stay the same...

prestige classes should stay the same except they should be recognized as prestige classes and they should have bonuses accordingly...I would go up to the Jedi Masters as a Sith Lord and they would just treat me as their own when I just slaughtered a bunch of people in front of them using Force Storm...btw...when I became a Sith Lord I really thought I'd get a better boost than Dark Side Corruption or Crush Opposition...I mean...I'm a Sith Lord...a Sith Lord who is an echo in the Force for God's sake...shouldn't I be absolutely badass by that point????

[Unbrow]

I think it would be fun if you started as a kid like a normal jedi but when you pick your character you pick an adult for the kid to grow up to be and it can be like a twilek or a cathar if that's what you're into. It would also be cool if you started an a different planet according to class and species choices.

[Mandalorianx]

i hope there are the same classes as it was on kotor1 like scout,smugler and soldier(or warriors)

[Mandalorianx]

oki first of all im not good in english and i hope you'll understand me(i hope so)

i hope we can make our own clothe that we begin whit.you see all of your char in your party have ther own type of cloth.well im just dreaming, it would be to much.

[Chanak]

@Mandalorianx: Next time, instead of posting two consecutive posts, simply edit your first one and add more to it.

[the torturedOne]

I would prefer that they focus on game play and story exclusively. Things like lightsaber hilts and different colored eyes are nice, but the modding community did all of these things fantastically. Give it to us where it counts, and let those receptive to demand worry about things like feature tweaks and lightsaber colors.

more variety is nice, but not essential, and variety for the sake of variety is wasteful. Different races? meh, I'd rather them stick with human and focus on a gripping romance arc or something.

so if anything, make a modding tool that is easily accessible and easy enough for beginners to use, but something detailed enough for people who want to get hardcore.

One thing I would like to see changed, is distinction between Jedi classes. Playing a Consular or Guardian seemed the same, with only minor tweaks. Make them hyper-specialized, to the point where a Consular or sentinel would get owned soundly by, say, a guardian. Making the classes distinct would add to the way a character approaches the game.

and I am not familiar with the D20 star wars system. Are the 6 Jedi classes in KOTOR2 the only ones in the game? what else is there?

[Darth Yanza]

1.You choose your class but like kotor 1 i would like to start like with no force powers at the begining..and i would like to start the game as a mandalorian

2.Create you character and his clothes

3.New Class like Padawan, Mandalorian, Bounty Hunter, Scout, Commando, Elite Jedi/Elite Sith, Mandalorian General

[Macen Press]

All that is mentioned is great but, i know this will sound stupid but i would like to have some way of repainting ur ship to have ur own colours or even 3 ships that u could choose from.

O And having ur own face on the game would be so amazing.

[Darth_Osonus]

I agree with sith666.I think you should:

1. You can pick your species
2. pick your class, not only jedi or sith but also maybe bounty hunter or something like that
3. pick your characters facial and body features and starting clothes

[riotfellow]

My idea would be u would be able to choose ur own species and possibly some extra character customisation.

Then i would like class development like in KOTOR 1 but with prestige classes and no lvl cap like in KOTOR 2.
