    Hello Hassat, it has been a while since I posted anything in these parts, what with my new job and new house... But I just thought I'd give you some insight on a little something. I know Disney is turning Star Wars into a whole lot of crap, and it seems they destroy continuity and logic at every opportunity, but here's what I got: I feel like the Trandoshan is not very suited to be the one who "build" the ship. Trandoshans are notorious for being hunters, maybe pilots? But I don't think building would be their strong suit. Now TSL and Kotor would have us believe that Wookies are kind of simpletons rustic people. However, I know for a fact that their people produced great engineers and that they have a knack for technology. I think a Wookie engineer would be an interesting twist to this. I don't know if Linksis's lines are voiced, but I can say that there have been occurences of wookies that had to learn to speak as slaves, so that would fit too. Also, you could go for another race that builds ships: Duro, Sullustan, humans...

    Are there any mods that alter the lighting in the Ebon Hawk? As is, it's incredibly dark and any gifs or screenshots I take on the ship have to go through Photoshop Hell. There's the brightness cheat, but it doesn't look natural and doesn't even make things bright enough, half the time.

     

    Any help would be appreciated. (How would someone even go about altering the lighting?)

    Maybe ask Canderis how he altered lightmaps for his darker Peragus mod?

    (And yeah, [super Content Mod is] incompatible, but I've had no issues up to Nar Shaddaa, my first planet after Telos).

     

     

    And then, you get to Malachor V, after 40 hours of playthrough, and you get stuck there. Uninstalling the mod, you are still stuck... And alas, you need to restart from scratch. Had that happen to me way to often with multiple mods, so yeah, you should follow these guidelines or risk consequences (loss of time...).

    I am so torn! I don't know whether to go Dantooine or Nar Shadaa first... It's been so long since my first play through (this is only my second!), I didn't even finish the game last time, whoops! 

     

    I am also torn on whether the Coruscant Jedi Temple mod is 'canon' within KOTOR 2 and whether I should get it and play it..... I want to have the best experience, but I don't want to 'ruin' or 'dirty' my 'canon' play-through with mods that are not how the game is intended (Jedi From the start, and lightsaber at start mods etc). If you don't get what I mean then perhaps another way of phrasing it is: Does this add to the story like RCM/ M4-78 rather than remaking it into a experience that is far from the intended feel of the game? Any opinions on that?

     

    Something I do remember though is I never knowing Bao Dur and the Handmaiden could be Jedi's. I must have sucked at video games way back when.

     

    I'm probably going to go to Nar Shadaa first, just because I remember it being quite interesting, and Jedifying Atton there. But opinions on coruscant would be muchly invited! 

    I often go to both planet at the same time. The important thing is to not get locked on a planet by doing too much, especially on Nar Shadaa!

    I've downloaded them all thanks, Has there been any though to A JKE type full enhancement? http://www.moddb.com/mods/jedi-knight-enhanced

     

    Someone combining lots of various skins to reskin the whole game in one package?

    Ah, JKE, that was the good time!

     

    However, the kind of mega pack you are speaking about would require a lot of time just to be sure every mod is compatible together (I should know, that's the work I put-up with with every new TSL playthrough...), take a lot of bandwidth (compared to JKE) and require a whole bunch of permission, many of which may not be available anymore, with mod authors that do not respond anymore...

    I'm not against the fact that Star Wars be aimed for kids too, hell, I've been interested to Star Wars AS a kid. But let's face-it, a lot of people did criticize the Ewoks and even more bashed on Jar-Jar, which did not bother me that much. What I did not like was the Clone Wars series, which, for example, introduced the Duchess Satine (which I consider is a shallow character, with a lot of childish dialog and simple minded ideas) and basically ruined the Mandalorian image more than Revan ever did while beating them :P

    Wasn't that a major plot point to the last book in the thrawn trilogy? The one that produced Luuke Skywalker?

     

    Guess MrPhil can finally be happy about something 

    Hey, youre snappish lol. I ain't unhappy, I just think that this story would have been better. I read the Cobra Trilogy from Zahn and it's no coincidence: he has a knack for desiging rich and interesting stories. Also, Mr. Zahn had an interesting friendship with Stackpole and reading their book was very interesting and would have given us some very interesting material for movies. I guess I just don't like the "Star Wars for kids" direction the franchise has taken lately. The one thing I was looking foward too was the game that got cancelled. Also, I've read a lot of star wars books and some of the more interesting were the ones that got out of the classic star wars novels like Death Troopers. Would have made an interesting star wars movie :)
