What Don't You Want in KotOR III?

[Macen Press]

Yeah it would be great to see another ship for once or may be even two that you can choose between but not the ebon hawk defently.

[L.Robert]

the ebon hawk was a great ship, but it would be impossible to bring it back i still think it was cheesey that lightsiders some how manage to fly it away from malachor.

as for what i dont want defenitly ithorians (the big fish people) the way they talk / look annoys me.

I personally want to be rid of random powers such as the bubble that shields poisons (I'm sorry I forgot what that monstrosity was called). I want for powers such as fear and confusion to all be placed into arsenal of mind trick. Anything that requires telekenises to be placed under force push and make these powers handle more like the G-gun from Half-life.
Oh, and I wish that we wouldn't have to take on team members onto the party. I'd rather talk to my ships computer than have to converse to weird and unbelievable characters for the sake of enhancing my guy's stats.
Also, I wish that we would not not have many more features in the game. For example Multiplayer ; ).

I don't want thinly fleshed out party members and a weak or unfinished story. Also, I don't want a large number of party of jedis. I thought the amount of jedi available for your party was far too many in both games. It would be nice to have reasons to use the gun slingers and droids, other than color.

The other big thing I don't want to see in the game is reused territories from the previous games. Personally, reusing Ebon Hawk, Korriban, and Dantoine in KoTOR2 seemed uninspired and boring to me.

Finally, I don't want to see the same kind of tactical and combat ease we saw in the second game. The game doesn't have to be horribly difficult. However, the KOTOR 2 title was among the most painfully easy RPGs I've ever played. I'd like at least a moderate challenge from time to time.

I'm divided on that. On the one hand I don't like using guns and my jedis are always proficient in what a droid can do (computer use, repair, demolitions etc), so that doesn't make me want to play 'normal' characters.

On the other hand because of the above I rarely, if ever, used characters like Carth, Atton, T3, HK-47 or Canderous.

I could have used them in melee, sure, but I want lightsabres flashing around, not vibroswords. If I get to pick use another set or two of force powers in addition to my character's then great, they're infinitely more useful than blasters.

Plus the characters I most liked interacting with were Jedi, because they have a better grasp of what my character was going through and tended to provoke deeper discussions.

I dont want the game too be short...and i dont want G0T0 i hate him I HATE HIM WHY THAT LIL........ ahem...and i dont want too see T3M4 and i dont want that you look like a zombi when you are in the dark side

[Hill-Shatar]

I dont want to have to take charcters that they ask for, I want charcters that you can pick up through the games. 2 different people of the game, except for some minor things, and what would you do?

If there were 200 possible party members and you could pick up, I dont know 12, that would be much better than having 9 charcteers and having 3 you use once in a while.

I'd like it to be a little more open-ended maybe so the game lasts longer... i never feel a sense of accomplishment after finishing an rpg (even against a tough end boss) but rather sadness that the story is over. A story that falls somewhere in between 1 and 2 would be nice: something not so, for lack of a better word, linear as 1 (i think we all saw the plot twist of Revan coming a mile away) but not so convoluted as 2 (did Darth Nihilus even need to be in the game?).
More lightsaber crystals and such, to make weapon customization more fun and interesting would be nice. Like an earlier post said not as many worthless powers, and an even more interactive dialog system with your followers: that is to say improve upon what 2 did. All in all it's the story and the level of immersion for me, I could care less if they updated the graphics or something similar.

[yoyopogo104]

i agree, tony. u never do feel "accomplished" after the games, do you? but, hey, its star wars. there's always more to conquer in the galaxy...

i liked the character interaction in kotor II, and i also agree they should improve upon that. i wish they had more random things to talk w/ them about like, i dont know..."what do u think about men?" more background stories would be nice, and better romance stuff. *coughs* atton... ha, so much for being a "true" jedi, hehehe...

and more intense combat! i wanna full-fleged battle w/ a droid army and giant hovering machines n stuff! (i already said this somewhere else, but im sayin it again)

man, this is soooo turning into "what DO u want" thread. im sry, ill shut up now...

[TonyMontana1638]

I agree, maybe some glimpses of these massive space battles we've heard so much about would be nice. I know it'd be too much to ask to have a little mini-game where you control them one of the sides of a battle (though I can think of a few games that have managed to pull it off...), so much of the KOTOR backstory concerns these massive battles in space and on land and for once I'd like to feel as if I had the power to affect these battles instead of mopping-up after them. There was the space battle outside of the Star Forge in the first one, but that was really only shown in the end-game cutscene. I know this is all too much to ask, but I can dream can't I?

i think revan and the excile join forces and find a new gallexey where there is lots of force sensitives they train them normaly but revan goes back to his old ways and you the child have to chose between the light side (excile) or the dark side (revan)witch ever you pick u train in the ways of the sith or the jedi thats my starting please add to it

hmmm i dont wanna start as a non jedi.....i dont wanna be trapt on a planet ass a begining of the game...

[Vega]

Number one thing i dont want is Mandalore/Canderous. He's been in both 1 and 2 and in both of those he didnt have much role to play other than giving you war lessons and hooking you up with the right people.

also would be nice to get rid of the ebon hawk and choose your own ship, but thats getting a little off topic

i also dont want too many more environments like malachor/korriban/peragus, i dont like dead planets, theres a lot of life in the galaxy, lets get on some planets that have it

EDIT: the ithorians are big fish people?

[Smokey]

I dont want it to fall short of my expectations simply because its dug itself in a hole.

By this I mean, we've had both games surround around the story of Revan(even the 2nd one) and it hasnt yet been finished. They also had a story about the exile, who is said to be set to go help revan. Yes I'm aware KOTOR 2 was about the exile, but there was a lot about revan as well and it gave us more questions than answers. Now if they make a kotor 3 game that has nothing to do with the revan/exile/true sith storyline, I think that would be silly and equivalent to only telling 2 parts of a story, like simply erasing ROTJ from the trilogies.

The other side of the fence is if they do make a game surrounding revan/exile, how can it be done? I would think you couldnt play the game as either character, simply because they were both incredibly strong at the end of their games, and Revans had atleast 5 years to grow stronger. Exile at the end of kotor 2 could clear out a room full of 5 dark jedi and 15 soldiers with a few force storms. So how would the game be difficult unless they gave them a massive depowering?

Of course they could create a new character, but there really shouldnt be any left, atleast any powerful enough to hang with revan and exile, and it would be poor writing to just bust out another "unknown jedi of untold potential" to magically throw into the mix. I suppose they could have you control a weaker jedi and then eventually assume control of Revan or Exile. This is what worries me, I want a good game, but I also need some closure on the whole revan/true sith storyline, especially due to the lackluster ending of KOTOR 2.
