Hi! new gyu here, I was wondering what U guys thought about KOTOR Star Wars game? Whut class is the leetest? What class is the suck? (i almost know there are no "best class" so ur personal prefs are good enuff for me) Are there big dipherences btw easy, medium and hard or should i jus go hard from the start? I've been playing nwn and diablo and also diablo 2 (owned) so im prolly ready for the kotor, in fact im prolly better than all of you lol!
Is doublewielding as worthless as in nevernights, that is u lose a lot of rating or dfens or stough when not singlewielding? My question is "is it"?
i use a geforce 4600 128 megabups, and 512 ram and my favorite packing software is winzip.
Thoughts??
Sincerely (not nim the merciful)

I would have linked you to SomethingAwful's Weekend Web feature, but their site is down. Strangely, it seems they haven't ever visited a Star Trek forum. I guess we aren't the worst of the web... (perhaps mr. Kyanka is a Trekkie himself.. omglol am i rite guyz1)

You say "scouts are noblest" with assurance, Cartman, is there some sort of ranking of nobility in KOTOR? And one loses mobility by using two sabers? That is very strange, it should be the opposite, larger arcs and speed available, shouldn't it? The scout sounds nice, how is the game set up regarding items and armor? What does one look for and praise highly when going through loot? Can one even get loot from corpses? Also, contrary to Diablo and NWN (owned), there isn't much magic in Star Wars except for The Force, so you can't very well have "Blastvest of Shining Ardent" with like 10% Cold Resist and Attacker Takes 5 Damage lol", right? What's the substitute system?
And you say that the Jedi Knight-series (love Academy) aren't fully Lucasarts because parts of the production was outsourced, but so is KOTOR, as far as I've heard, with Raven Software and Bioware actually building it. In fact, isn't KOTOR using the same graphics engine as Neverwinter Nights?

Cartman: I forgot to mention, yes my comp may suck but I just performed a prime computation on us and it says that I could, and I quote, "beat you in any RPG or FPS using mainly buttcheeks", whatever the hell that means. What do you think? Oh, sorry, you may answer my earlier questions first.

I've read it three times and I still don't know what he's asking. But I think it needs to be my new signature.
Nim, did you actually write that, or is this a quote from some other board. I'm confused now.

I think your computer is writing cheques its hardware can't cash, turnip muncher.
Now then, about KOTOR. There is no nobility ranking as such, but the three main classes are sufficiently unique and adjustable that you have good control over how much of a goodie-two-shoe your virgin character will be, and NPCs will react to you accordingly (don't walk into room full of Mandalorians if you're a Republican soldier, because they'll shoot first with a vengeance and not ask questions later). It's built around a modified version of the third edition DnD ruleset (d20), so if you've played NWN, you'll breeze through character creation in KOTOR. The only aspect that's absent from NWN is alignment, since your actions during the course of the game will gradually nudge you toward the light or dark side anyway.
While you can obviously cover a larger arc with two sabres and inflict more damage than with just one, it does affect your speed if you don't have the TWF feat as well (as you can wield two weapons with any character, even one that doesn't). Badly. And your defense rating will also plummet like a rock, so don't leave home without it.
As for loot, there are three categories of stough (quest/equippable/utility) that each have dozens of items in them, most of which are the standard fare weapons, armor, implants, etc, that help you in combat and some of which are the not-so standard fare *********** that I'll let you discover on your own. And yes, most corpses have the decency to drop something for you, too.
And last but not least, your character has Force Powers (you know, choke, push, mindfuck) which grow stronger as you rank up more kills and act as a perfect substitute for the classic RPG spells. All pretty similar to Dark Forces I, Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight, Dark Forces III: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, and Dark Forces IV: Jedi Knight III: Jedi Academy, actually. B)
Any OTHER kvestions, or will you just beg for mercy now?
"I think your computer is writing cheques its hardware can't cash, turnip muncher."
WHAT??? You're saying I ain't showing collateral? Well that might be, it is a Dell after all, they can be somewhat beefy in attitude, at least their salesrep is. Or, , I was talking out of the ass, so to speak. One of the two. *shrug* It's basically a crapshoot.
About the TWF feat, I remember a similar thing in NWN, I got it for my Katana+Dagger swordgirl, but she was a worthless drama-queen, so two-thirds in I replayed the game with a Half-Orc Monk instead ("Fist-Of-The-North-Star" + hands the size of mallets), he also required the dual-wield feat to function properly. I loved that man, I got reminded of him when watching a certain "Clone Wars"-episode, as the highlevel Monk-class gets the highest number of attacks per round in all DnD, or so I've heard.
I don't suppose there's an option for unarmed combat in KotoR, is there?
Your descriptions of those item-categories whets my appetite, what word could possibly have all those stars in it? Also, implants? I haven't seen a lot of that in the SW-universe, mostly just prosthetics. Everything remotely cyberpunk is yum.
And yes, I'm counting on the Force Powers to be the meat and potatoes of the game, like in all the later Jedi-games.
But I have to disagree about your bunching "Dark Forces I" in there with them, that game feels like a bowling alley in retrospect, with stormtroopers for pins.
I think this is just the right time to get "KotoR", I can get it for a steal at any game-store (well I like having the manual) and "Teh Sith Lordz" seems not so far off anymore. Truly, we live in interesting times! Also, I can ForceTrain u with my buttcheeks, and crack sandpeas, whichever comes first.

Well I like to believe I don't plagiarize. *gentle snicker* But what with the information exchange in this day and age, I don't blame you for asking.
I mean at the rate things are going? Sheesh! I said this before, I don't know what weapons will be used in world war 3, but I do know that world war 4 will be fought with stones and spears. I'tellya. You can quote me on that, btw.
Harry: I think the main reason Kyanka is somewhat lenient to Trekkies is because it's too easy a target. Like if a famous New York standup-comedian would do a gig consisting only of "women are crazy/weird-but-smart and men are dumb-and-singleminded". Ha. Ha. Ha. AH?? Boot To The Head!
Mainstream jokers have gone after Trek since the 60's, SomethingAwful seems to like fresh meat.

"I've read it three times and I still don't know what he's asking."
"What class is the suck?" is the same as "What class sucks?". The more common form of the phrase is "teh suck", as in "omg ur computar machene is teh suck".
