Thanks for that. Fox and Ravens Send a noteboard - 09/02/2011 06:40:23 PM
Especially with Bioware devs making statements like (exact wording from one of the designers) this one:

'Kotor 3? Yes, it's called "The Old Republic" and it is KOTOR 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8!'

Basically, the idea is that The Old Republic is supposed to be a far more solo-friendly and story-centric MMO than most, and as such should fill the void.

They're wrong, of course. Simply by being a traditional MMO they destroy half the qualities you'd find in a good single player RPG. Things like immersion, impact of your actions, the ability to experience all the content yourself, focused production quality, etc.


Pretty much the best I could hope for, then.
Go Hokies!

CS/CpE. Yay engineering!

Is it silly of me to keep holding out hope that there will be a KotOR 3? Fox and Ravens - 09/02/2011 04:24:55 PM 935 Views
With The Old Republic, I wouldn't expect it. Zalis - 09/02/2011 05:49:20 PM 741 Views
Nope. Not any time soon, at least. lord-of-shadow - 09/02/2011 06:27:06 PM 815 Views
Thanks for that. Fox and Ravens - 09/02/2011 06:40:23 PM 678 Views
I have no answers, but on the subject ... Darth_Katie - 09/02/2011 06:28:35 PM 749 Views
It is literally amazing. Fox and Ravens - 09/02/2011 06:43:14 PM 699 Views
It's about as good as a western-style RPG has ever been. Also: best plot twist of all time. lord-of-shadow - 09/02/2011 07:12:59 PM 731 Views
But Katie, don't go looking up the plot twist before you decide to play it. Fox and Ravens - 09/02/2011 07:41:57 PM 739 Views
Thanks for the warning. Darth_Katie - 09/02/2011 08:50:17 PM 771 Views
Oh? What's the difference? Darth_Katie - 09/02/2011 08:51:33 PM 740 Views
Ok, I may have exaggerated a little bit... lord-of-shadow - 09/02/2011 09:36:21 PM 716 Views
Ah, I see. Thanks! *NM* Darth_Katie - 10/02/2011 01:50:50 PM 368 Views

I LOL'd a bit. Zalis - 10/02/2011 04:08:12 PM 842 Views

Interesting viewpoint. lord-of-shadow - 10/02/2011 10:45:25 PM 809 Views
Yeah, I thought about most of your complaints while writing that post. Aemon - 11/02/2011 02:42:16 AM 752 Views
All fair enough. And I even agree with you. lord-of-shadow - 11/02/2011 04:24:21 AM 659 Views

Out of curiosity, did you ever play Morrowind? Ghavrel - 11/02/2011 08:44:06 AM 778 Views
I played roughly halfway through. I quit when I realized how broken that game was. Aemon - 11/02/2011 05:57:04 PM 727 Views
I love a good story but abhor collections/accomplishments/completionist stuff. Zalis - 11/02/2011 07:53:48 PM 697 Views
That they do. Aemon - 11/02/2011 10:50:02 PM 647 Views
Out of curiosity, what's you're opinion on the Neverwinter Nights games? *NM* Macharius - 11/02/2011 08:18:38 PM 372 Views
I've actually never played them. Aemon - 11/02/2011 10:46:11 PM 617 Views
That was always my impression as well. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 11/02/2011 11:46:32 PM 366 Views
That article is one of the most opaque pieces of text I've ever read. Dan - 12/02/2011 02:00:03 PM 783 Views
I seriously doubt that. Ghavrel - 12/02/2011 08:28:44 PM 656 Views
Shortly put, western RPGs are better. Bergioyn - 09/02/2011 10:15:42 PM 747 Views
I don't know..... AliasRY - 10/02/2011 08:19:28 PM 693 Views

It's very good- highly recommend it beetnemesis - 09/02/2011 08:48:13 PM 667 Views
Recommended. Bergioyn - 09/02/2011 10:12:08 PM 701 Views
Agreed Sir Tybalt - 12/02/2011 12:29:30 AM 702 Views
Since you could probably get it for five dollars, worth trying. TaskmasterJack - 09/02/2011 10:44:17 PM 677 Views
Same. I've always found it sort of meh. *NM* Ghavrel - 09/02/2011 11:41:19 PM 354 Views
It has the same chance in hell as a sequel to the Chrono series *NM* Roland00 - 11/02/2011 02:32:41 AM 324 Views
