Knight of the Old Republic- Predictions Thread

[AjaKS]

In my opinion the old republic kills the entire idea and storyline. they've litterally jumped a few years leaving us in the dark with what happened inbetween.

I feel you man

ok so heres what i think should happen, the game starts off with revan and the exile in two separate locations outside of republic space with force powers in tack. you would play as both caracters in alternating quests( play as revan for one quest and then as the exile for another) until the two meet up and you are possibly able to play as a four person party(this would be great as a two player option), you could gather your party members from the past two games as well as some new characters, the goal would be to fortify the republic against the coming invasion of the true sith by doing things like uniting the remaining mandalorians, recruiting an army for the republic and rebuilding the star forge as a tool of the light side(find the star forges self preservation parts on the lost world and fix it as a light side oriented tool). you could also hunt down and destroy sith factions and destroy them in order to weeken them before the coming attack and reunite the genoharadan under revan and the exile. throughout the game you could learn forgotten as well as new aspects of the force( shoot fire or freeze people, control a group of people, summon people who have become one with the force to fight with you and so on) and have more options to use while working on your lightsaber like blade length and shape. the planets you could visit could be coruscant, concord dawn, kamino, lost world, cathar, byss, and baroonda. you could transfer malitia form world to world to another to make the world too strong to attack like revan did in the mandalorian wars. you could also set up jedi training facilities and unite force using clans onder your command. you could convince worlds to join the republic. the finalk part of the game would be during the war between the republic and the true sith. also a new fighting system could be added so you could use new fighting techniques and block(a mix of kotor and fable fighting systems so you could set automatic moves or attack using the buttons toggleing between the two using the pause menu after pressing the white button). you could gain new skils and feats as well as build custom droids, weapons and ships. you could also try to make true sith defect to your cause. if you think this is a good idea support it by saying so in your post hopefully with enuogh support bioware and lucasarts might decide to make it into a game.

Seeing as there will be no kotor 3 for the foreseeable future, ur idea tho interesting might remain just that for a looong time, just another idea.

Unless im very much mistaken, the timeline in which TOR is set in is approximately 300 years after the events covered by kotor 1 and 2, and meeting revan or the exile in it is highly unlikely.

[raith2009]

i think though that having the game 300 years in the future was a bad call, in the first two games they seemed to be leading up to something, so it would be rather dissapointing to just cut it off there. and also they should have stuck to the same console based game format for the third game insteads of switching to mmorpg, they pretty much lost a big part of thier customer base with that move.

On the contrary, BioWare plan to take up the plot approximately where K2 left it. So I would naturally assume that the Sith in this game are of the True Sith faction, i.e the ones which Revan and the Exile sought out to destroy. And I am pretty sure they will tie in more plot elements to the events that occurred in both prior games, with emphasis on K1 of course.

On what grounds are you making this assumption?

Sorry, but that's garbage, how the heck can thay carry on where the plot of KOTOR left off with a three hundred year gap? Answer is of course that they can't, any pretense that they can by Bioware indicates that they really are bereft of integrity.

On the grounds that he and I won't be buying it, whilst forgetting that a lot of thirteen year old boys will. So they lose the following of a lot of RPG fans but gain a bigger following of screaming adolescents, they make more money, which of course is all they care about.

Perhaps I should clarify what I meant. I was responding to raith2009's comment about how BioWare were about to completely abandon the events in K1 and K2. In short they wont. Sure they might ignore certain parts of what occurred in both prior games, but the basis has been laid out, at least in part by K1.

So, I didn't mean BioWare were about to continue the exact plot from where K2 left it, rather I meant that we could expect to see some plot elements that we were familiar with from the first two games.

[galraen]

I see, sadly, if they reference history in terms of the aftermath of the Mandalorian wars, and the lives of Revan and The Exile, and what came after K2, then the chances of there ever being a K3 will be well and truly destroyed. I was hoping the MMO would be kept separate from K1 & K2 and no references made to the fates of Revan and the Exile. I guess I was being naive and the KOTOR series really is as dead as a dinosaur. Shame, I guess I'll not be playing any more Star Wars games.

I think the appearance of the True Sith as the main antagonists in TOR speaks volumes of the game's plot, don't you?
