KotOR III Storyline and Remarks

[bigredpanda]

I like the ideas of
-starting on Coruscant
-starting as some sort of padawan.
-rebuilding the jedi order - though who rebuilds it, given the ending of KOTOR2, I'm not sure.
-the quest concerning following Revan and the Exile to the outer rim.

But I would suggest that
- Both Revan and the Exile are dead. This would solve many of the problems over appearance etc.
- You would be, however, related to one of or both of them in some way. Just because that's how SW stories seem to go. Perhaps an iligitimate child of one of them, or some such thing.

Firstly, to all those people who are suggesting bringing characters such as Zaalbar, Mission, and Jolee into KotOR 3 it cant be done because you had the option to kill these characters in KotOR 1.
Secondly during the main quest of the game you should travel to four planets as you did in 1 and 2. Possibly Dantooine, Coruscant, Alderaan, Korriban. You could add a planet at the beginning which you start from and one at the end.
Also the game should not leave and opening for KotOR 4. Star Wars works well in trilogy's I think that has proven itself!
The Hawk should make a comeback. Maybe found in the Unknown Regions by salvagers and brought to the starting planet where you use it to escape. T3 and HK should be onboard it.
You should start with a new Jedi at level one. Revan and the Exile should not be NPC's although you could possibly meet them at some point.

Just my 2 cents.

[Khaoki]

I wouldn't want Dantooine or Korriban in KotOR III in actual gameplay unless their maps were drastically increased, because that was disappointing to me in KotOR II, esspecially Korriban. If any Dark Side planet should be visited, it should be a completely new one or Yavin IV, and for planets with Jedi Temples, probably Coruscant since I can't think of any other ones.

As for the character being an illegitimate child or either Revan or the Exile, I would have to say he/she would be the Exile's son/daughter. He had far more chances to get frisky with certain crewmates than Revan ever did.

[Stormchaser]

I dont think the new character could be the son/daughter of the exile or Revan as this would mean they would have had to have been male to leave behind a pregnant Bastila/Handmaiden. Shame it was a nice idea.

There are ways around that (i.e. it happened before either of the games), but probably too tentative for it to happen. Bah, back to the drawing board.

quite honestly, obrad, i prefer the star forge over M5 (minus the constant onslaught of enemies. put in codes and its fun, just pwn em all up/down, however you wanna look at it, but w/o the codes, its hard to fight off turrets and troopers and dark jedi with 3 characters.

Mical apparently recognizes you and begs you to help. The Dark Jedi have Admiral Onasi locked up on the bridge. You have to get to him.

After rescuing Onasi, he lets you in on a secret: You’re a prisoner, who was found at the decimated Mandalorian camp on Dxun, half dead. “Mandalore” is the other survivor, but you later learn that six of your Mandalorian comrades survived and are being held on board. He mentions that you’re not a Mandalorian, however, that your paperwork indicates you were staying at the camp when it was suddenly attacked, killing almost everyone. Onasi says you were en route from the edge of known space, the planet Malachor V, where Revan and the Exile were last seen. Suddenly you have a flashback, and you remember that you are a Jedi, one of Revan’s top generals, and a close friend of the Exile. Suddenly the astromech droid (T3M4) seizes up and shows you a hologram of Revan, begging for help.



The Split Level Playing

Although you got a taste of this in Kotor II, this is even better. Welcome back, Revan old buddy old pal. That’s right. You get to play as Revan fighting wave after wave after wave of New Sith warriors, and right beside you is your old friend the Exile, and T3-M4.

its pretty good, but if T3 shows you an image on the bridge of the ship of Revan pleading for help, how are you fighting of waves of Sith with him?

Characters: Bastila (if she did not die on Star Forge in KOTOR I, if she did, this is replaced by a young Dark Jedi called Tenaala Vann, who served Revan as an assassin, and you meet her on the planet Aalderaan) Canderous, Zaalbar, a very un-characteristically dark Disciple, Hanharr, Handmaiden, New characters, HK.

Revan- dark side, female
Exile- dark side, female

Characters: (Obviously no Carth, so this gets replaced with a soldier resembling him, named Rojan Toole, who served the Republic and later left to become a wanderer), Canderous, Zaalbar, Kaevee, Disciple, Hanharr, Atton. HK and those lovely new characters

Revan- dark side, male
Exile- dark side, female

Characters: Bastila/Tenaala, Canderous, Zaalbar, Kaevee, Disciple, Hanharr, Atton. HK..... you know the rest.

Revan- dark side, female
Exile- dark side, male

Characters: Rojan Toole, Canderous, Zaalbar, Disciple, Hanharr, Handmaiden. HK and those characters are being explained RIGHT NOW!!!

if Zaalbar is a playable character, why isnt Mission? she goes everywhere with Zaalbar. if you killed her on DS on K1, you have to kill Zaalbar to. or if you had Zaalbar do it for you, then you go to the star forge, then Zaalbar snaps out of it and attacks you, requiring killing the poor wookiee. also, if the Exile and Revan are dark side, why would they be fighting off waves of sith? they cant all be vying for the title of Sith Lord, as its only available when you go one-on-one between master and apprentice ("Always two there are. No more, no less. A master, and an apprentice." Star Wars Episdoe I: The Phantom Menace, spoken by Yoda)? only way i could think of is that the sith they're fighting off dont believe that Revan is the appropriate Sith Lord, or they want to be the apprentice and try to kill the Exile, and Revan defendes him (why idk. the exile is a tool imo). so if they fight off so many sith, what sith would be left for you to fight your way TO Revan and the Exile?

Don't get me wrong, the storyline is an AWESOME idea and i dont hate it at all, i actually like it. it just needs some touch ups.

that would be hot. Maybe make the others a mix of the two crews from the games.

Obviously, on one level we're all talking about what we'd really like to see in an ideal game, which is ace. But on a more practical level, think about how much programming/ voice acting/ possible glitches could arise from having THAT many options over who's in your party or not. There are suggestions that we should be able to choose Revan and the Exile's appearance, as well as our own. Now, I've said this before, but think about somebody completely new to KOTOR loading up the game. They're thinking: "who the hell is Revan?"

I can't see anything happening that would ruin the experience of a first time player. I preferred those parts of KOTOR2 that referenced the first game without being too obvious - the Handmaiden talks about the holographs of Jolee Bindo, for example - which is, to my mind, much mroe in keeping with the Star Wars style.

I did, however, quite like padawan5447's beginning, up until the Revan bit.

um, you can do it, the developers could say that revan was good. its as easy as that. i think that a large number of people would like revan to be good after he " fell to the dark side".

[Reaver32]

this might just be me, but i dont want to play as the exile ever again, and i dont want revan to be the main character either. i still stand by my idea of starting off on a selectable world with a new character. it would be nice if you were on a trade ship and you get to walk around. one of the crew members starts a chat with you and you say were you are goin (sets up what planet you start on). you can also tell him if you are a jedi that escaped when the sith acadamy fell, dantooine was attacked, or you can tell him you are a traveling merchant. you go to your room to sleep and while doing so, you have a vision of jedi/sith/force sensitives going to temples on places like dantoonie, koriban, and corisaunt (sry on spelling). depending on which planet you start on, you can find a way to get to one ( you get to choose which one you go to) of the schools either by tagging along with a republic ship, work for the exchange, or find a shuttle that takes you to dantoonie or koriban (secretly of course). then you get to continue your training and be assigned to a master/lord which you and an other jedi/sith/ force sensitive and your master start off doing quests for the locals until you have the choice to kill your master, try to save his life, or listen to him and run away (the other person from the school tries to kill you both because he falls to the darkside or the lightside it you are a sith).

[Leet]

wat do u guyz think of some sort of big battle i find that pritty, it could be some sort of war ( im sure thers plenty of wars between Kotor2-and Starwars Episode 1 ) so the bigger the better

[Reaver32]

Maybe you could start off as a jedi/sith working for the republic or the remaining sith. at the start, you are on a ship that by talking to a crew member and answering some questions sets up which side your on. then from there you can either be heading to a fight, already in one, or running from one to find a planet.

[x42ndEcthellion]

I dont really care about characters aslong as the third game ties the first two together really well eg explains reven and the exile. and have some HUGE CLIMATIC POINT TO THE WHOLE TRILOGY!!! make it great, make you think "hey wow that was so brilliant i never would have guessed {KOTOR1 FACT} would turn out to be the key to saving {WHATEVER YOU NEED TO SAVE}" and have some big explanitotry scene at the end that just makes you sit there and gape and go WWWWOOOOOOWWWWW

PRAY TO GO THERE WONT BE A KOTOR 4 . anything after a trilogy sucks..

[zookman]

i like the idea of being a new person and starting off as a new jedi. the exile has gathered all force sensitives he can find, including bastila/carth to fight the sith threat [remember kreia saying revan would need help from jedi and sith?] and they are rebuilding the coruscant temple. during this, the sith that revan hunts come and attack the jedi temple killing everybody but you the exile, and bastila/carth. the sith begin attacking the other worlds as well. carth/bastila decide the only way to fight is to find revan, if he is still alive. and itd be pretty cool in your search if you met up with vandar and zhar. also if you teamed up with the mandolorians, or some sith who are not part of this group [remember the sith always fight each other?] which would bring peace to the galaxy
