Didn't say it was smart.

To be fair, he is in it, just in a vision.

And again, the specifics aren't important. I was simply citing the KOTOR games as an example of something good. I could have just as easily have said Shatterpoint. I'm not saying we'll see KOTOR again (and based on Disney's attempts to import EU stuff so far, that might be for the best, especially if they draw from the mess that is TOR.) I'm saying that good stuff comes around sooner or later. Disney isn't exactly having a shortage of sheer stuff they're outputting. Sooner or later, some of that's gonna turn out something good. The EA situation is annoying, but given how that's gone down, I will not be surprised at all if Disney finds a way to worm their way out of the exclusivity deal soon.

The timing isn't the point. Good and Bad come and go; the point is that one rarely exists without the other coming along sooner or later.

Honestly, despite my unfathomed distaste for Disney's rehash, this too shall pass. Kennedy and Peña's bad decisions will bite them in the face, but on the fan end, sheer volume will churn out something halfway decent sooner or later. You don't get your KOTORs without suffering through your Karen Travisses.

But we've already got the trilogy where everything is horrible, nothing matters and happiness is illegal.

Neat! ... We're really not gonna rest until we've filed every last minor imperfection off of Lonna Vash's left earlobe, are we?

Eh, I prefer the base model anyways. Darkening the mask will only make it look less awkward, not eliminate the problem.

It's mostly just the sheer texture and model clash. They don't really look like the same headpiece to me. (and tbh, I personally like the Ubese helmets )

For my two pennies, I wouldn't think that the GenoHaradan, as a covert organisation who do not reveal themselves freely, would have such unique armour. It seems simpler to me for the armoured people in the Jekk'Jekk Tarr to simply be a group of Ubese who are part of the GenoHaradan and that their armour is indeed Ubese. I also feel that the guy in the Onderon vid looks really weird with that mask over the top of the model's helmet. Ditch the extra mask, imo. And as a question - have you simply moved Azanti Zhug to Goto's Yacht or done something else with him? Or does he just no longer exist?

For TSL, the installation of the NPC Overhaul mod is extremely modular and customisable - I've homebrewed my own version of it to have different replacers. So it's fairly easy to make your own version of that for TSL, though the install proceedure is much longer since it has an install option for almost each and every module file in the game. That said, it's fairly simple to update or change a single module, instead of just reinstalling everything if you want to make a small change to the mod. It's really quite useful! Sadly, the Kotor 1 doesn't have this setup in its install and I've always wanted a version with it, since I basically have to pay much more attention and think much more if I want to customise it; plus I can't just make a single change to one module either. If you know what you're doing, it might be possible to rejig a version of the K1 NPC Overhaul mod's TSLPatcher and then customise off that to give you what you want, but my knowledge of the patcher isn't really extensive enough to start trying that myself.

It is. Meh. A mess that has its moments and fundamentally doesn't understand Luke Skywalker. Has two climaxes; makes everything from the OT feel like even more of a waste of time than Ep 7 did. Rian Johnsson just isn't as clever as Chris Avellone and is too focused on all plot twists all the time with little real coherence or sense to a lot of them. It's not awful, but it's just oh so tired. RotJ's title feels like a cmmplete joke now. That said, some well-executed scenes in amongst it all and some fun lines. I've seen worse, but I don't really see anything compelling me to watch any more. It's safe when it should be different and it's different when it should be safe. At the end of the day we're still stuck with the tired old Empire vs. Rebellion on the brink with all the Jedi dead but one and nothing has progressed since thirty years prior. I could have skipped this and missed nothing of importance. And that's weird.

Thanks!

So, on Deadlystream's home page, there's a panel called "recently added posts" that gives a short preview of each post. Given that, with Episode 8 fresh in cinemas, the spoiler thread for it is getting a lot of posts - is it possible to please hide posts from that thread from showing up in the "recently added posts" panel? It's a bit purpose defeating otherwise, since it's on the home page, so anyone casually browsing the site could randomly be spoiled.

On a related note, I've found trying to https:// this site gives me the following in Firefox: It's also started popping up a little note whenever I sign in saying it's not secure.

The article does not seem aware that in addition to lowering the credit requirements, they also lowered the amount of credits you get from completing the campaign.

Iiiiiinteresting. I'd be down for this.

It happens during the endgame sequence - if you've found the HK factory, you can't miss it because it sends you there. You cannot go there beforehand. [Edit] Wow, I did not even notice how old this thread was...

So... what do they look like?

1. Empire Strikes Back - A masterpiece. 2. Return of the Jedi - Nice ending to the franchise that tied things up nicely. 3. A New Hope - A good introduction to the setting that does a great job of establishing a solid core of characters. 4. Attack of the Clones - On the one hand, a serviceable plot following Obi with a decent ending. On the other hand, every scene between Anakin and Padme. 5. Revenge of the Sith - Good first half, second half falls apart. 6. Rogue One - It's definitely technically better than the two above it, but it just didn't have the spark that made it feel like a part of the universe. Really feels like an alternate setting most of the time. 7. Phantom Menace - Some pretty designs and I liked the Podrace... pretty much everything else is a disaster, though. 8. The Force awakens - A thoroughly unworthy sequel in almost every way. Finn is pretty much the only thing of value.

That's a shame. Wish I had even the vaguest knowledge of how to do either.

So does this mean the Nautolan heads won't be far behind?

Who on earth would go to the trouble of removing a massive, full-game mod over one small glitch?

Ugh. No. No more remakes. Please. If Disney wants to canonise KOTOR, it can canonise KOTOR. They don't even have the excuse of being worried about their new continuity since the KOTOR era is so far removed from anything in Disney's new verse. Now, since SWTOR is... yaknow, still an ongoing thing, Disney is almost certainly going to want to capitalise on that by linking any new KOTOR to it... which sadly means it'd have to be chained to their absolute abomination of Revan, the Exile and related's treatment, unless they wanted to totally retool the entire setting. But I didn't exactly like any of Disney's other reboots of the various Star Wars eras, so that idea appeals to me possibly even less. Basically, Disney's caused the situation where everything they touch in Star Wars fills me with ominous dread.

The problem I see is that a KOTOR 3... well, it now has to follow on from and/or incorporate SWTOR's take on it all. And, put bluntly, I hate SWTOR's treatment of the KOTOR material. And on a related note, I've been substantially less than a fan of Disney's reboot. So, sadly, I feel a KOTOR 3 is now at the point where... well, it's simply too late in my opinion. I doubt I'd like it and I even suspect it'd end up infuriating me.
