Guest Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 I propose that in the new Credits.bik it feature the people's real names whom worked on it. It's jarring going from Chris Avellone to "Zbyl2" and IMO also creates an unnecessary gap between the people whom worked on TSLRCM and the Vanilla game. I think the Alias' should be included near the end of the Credits under the subheading Forum Alias' in my opinion that would be perfect. Quote
zbyl2 Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 I'll let others decide since I don't have a preference either way. I'd fine with it since my name is present in pretty much every TSLRCM article out there anyway. I don't know if it's even possible, though. There's bunch of people in our credits, under special thanks, included mods and beta testers headers, who aren't active any more and I don't know if we could even find out what everyone's real name is.

You are correct, but at least you could correct the version of the mod that is displayed in the credits. It was always odd to me that when the credits keep saying that we are in version 1.8.3. Can that be updated? Quote
zbyl2 Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 Yes, we'll update that in the next patch In fact I've seen the new credits video just couple days ago. Quote

Perhaps just have them in the Alias' section then with their name as "Unknown" then? Quote
Sith Holocron Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 I wonder . . . Why do you want their names? Quote
Tyvokka Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 If that's the most jarring thing about TSLRCM I think we can all live... haha. 2 Quote
Guest Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 @Sith Holocron Because using forum Aliases looks terrible? Why else? & No there's other jarring things about TSLRCM but nothing's perfect; but IMO the fixpack covers all the ones that bother me personally. Quote

Credits in Movies and Video Games have real names because the people who worked didn't go by "Sith Holocron" for example they go by their real names. In Modding, however, people go by their Forum Aliases like "Sith Holocron" since making Mods will never earn you a cent and is far less significant than a Movie or Video Game so there is no real point in having real names. Plus if all the TSLRCM staff put their real names down probably no one will know who actually did what since all they have is their Forum Aliases! 2 Quote

To be fair, 90% of the people who would use 'sith holocrons' mod would not know who he was anyway. People tend to be oblivious to the creator of many mods. Not that I'm endorsing people to use their real names as I understand and respect their privacy. Quote
Mutilator57 Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 The aliases don't bother me at all, quite the contrary. In fact, they always remind me of the work that ordinary people with real lives dedicated to the mod and game. Quote

Only; "I think the Alias' should be included near the end of the Credits under the subheading Forum Alias' in my opinion that would be perfect." & I'd say that TSLRCM is as significant as the KOTOR games themselves, in any discussion or article on K2 it's mentioned.

zbyl2 Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 To be fair it's kind of a non-issue since nobody reads the credits. Quote
Guest Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 To be fair it's kind of a non-issue since nobody reads the credits. Ahahaha true, well except the first bit everyone sees. Quote
Sith Holocron Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 Wouldn't that be the last bit? They are ENDING credits? Quote
VarsityPuppet Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 ....I always read credits Maybe if they were more interesting, like action, romance, explosions and dank memes In all seriousness, I think doing something similar to The DeadlyStream mod would be a better execution of credits. - Zbyl can be collapsed and dead on the floor, and when you talk to him he says "Can't.... move... so.... tired" - Hassat Hunter can be fighting laigreks (get it, cuz he's fighting bugs) - I can be an HK unit and say "I got to do the easy part!" - Sith Holocron can be a sith holocron and say something like "I like being a droid better" You get the idea Quote
Xuul Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 Paranoid much? You would be surprised at the depravity of some people on the internet. There is a reason I try not to list my actual name anywhere online. Some people suck. 6 Quote
zbyl2 Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 In all seriousness, I think doing something similar to The DeadlyStream mod would be a better execution of credits. So in order to make the game feel more modern, we should include a post credit scene? You would be surprised at the depravity of some people on the internet. There is a reason I try not to list my actual name anywhere online. Did something actually happen? I wonder since I'm probably the easiest person to find and I've never been bothered, which surprises even me sometimes. Quote
VarsityPuppet Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 So in order to make the game feel more modern, we should include a post credit scene? Yes, where we are all recruited into the Avengers by Nick Fury EDIT: Better idea, we have a shadowy figure walk forward and he says "Fine, I'll do it myself" Plug for Kotor: Revenge of Revan 1 Quote
