Abombz!! Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 I love this game as well. I have the X-box version and haven't experienced any of the aforementioned bugs. If they make a sequel to this game (which they should) what types of things would you like to see improved, changed, addded, etc? I think it would be cool to play with a Yoda type character. I don't know what his species is referred as, but they would make neat additions to your party. Getting to chose sides would be nice, along with different races, and good looking characters. Don't know about sequel... but Bioware is making a martial arts game based on KoToR that will most likely rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abombz!! Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 BTW, I would really appreciate if someone can tell me when they make the xbox downloadable material available. thanks I would figure as soon as they finished the PC version. Having to pay for live content is a really bad deal IMO. <_< And I just love how they post the minumum specs. Those specs will make the game run... but doesn't necessarely means the game will be playable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull Leader Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 (edited) I have an Gforce FX 5600 120Mb with an AMD 1.5 gig processor... it ran the game just fine. Nvidia cards tend to handle open GL games better than ATI cards do. The newer Radeon cards are mega hoss, but Nvidia still has this one licked I think.

zorprimal Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Was just over gamespot. If you own Kotor on PC, you need to see this: http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/starwarskni...ws_6085140.html It's about a patch, and it fixes these things: Added two new "swkotor.ini" sound options: Environment Effects Nonstreaming=1, Environment Effects Streaming=1. The Environment Effects Streaming=0 option was added to fix a problem with sound pauses while playing the game with an Intel i845 or i850 chipset motherboard and a 100 MHz Front Side Bus. removed the awareness penalty when running Fixed "Disable Vertex Buffer Objects" option in "swkotor.ini": Disable Vertex Buffer Objects=1 to solve random graphics issues. Fix to the Enable Hardware Mouse option when disabled to remedy crashes with ATI Radeon 9600 video cards. Made a fix to a display issue with Small Fonts. Fixed to a gamma issue after movies finish playing. Removed the display of Force Points on portrait tooltips for non-Jedi characters. Fixed bug where some objects in the game would give a sticky mouse indicator like they had an inventory when they did not. Fixed an issue where if you changed appearance while Force Speed was active your movement rate would return to normal. Fixed an issue with droid animation when the item they were using ran out or their target died. The turret mini-game should no longer have the blur visual effect if you enter it with that visual effect turned on. The Security option no longer displays for doors which a key is required. Fixed a rare bug where the game could get stuck if an autopause was triggered at the exact same time as an area transition. Fixed a rare crash that could happen when a Dark Jedi dies at the exact same time as he deflected a blaster bolt. Fixed a rare crash on startup under Windows 98. Fixed a few memory leaks.

Ladic Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 K, just bought the game yesterday and started playing last night, how the hell do you get past the rancor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Effect Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 One of the datapads you pick up explains how but what you pretty much have to do is go up to the pile of bones in the room with the rancor. When the options appear, as if you are looting it I believe, you have to place the scent item that will attract the rancor. At the same time you add this, also put in a frag grenade as well. That should do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Effect Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Granted many of the puzzles aren't hard but there are times that the answer just escapes you even simple ones and you end up kicking yourself for not seeing it sooner.

There was no way I would have found my way out of that swamp by myself without a guide. I spent far to much time trying to get out of that. I would have skipped ahead with a cheat but I knew I would have missed a cutscene or something apart of the story.

Ladic Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 I got a quick question about XP, do you have to rotate all your characters to make them all get XP, or if you leave them parked at the base do they get XP too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Effect Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 (edited) If you don't use them and you and other characters level up, when you do finally put them in your party they will level up automaticly to match your level. You'll then have to pick their feats and skills or let the computer do it. I love this setup. You just have to make sure to give them decent weapons and armor since you most likely wouldn't have changed theirs in a while. This great since you don't have to waste time trying to level up a character. You can just put them in, fix their skills, etc and be on your way.

Ladic Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 K, cool, Because when I was reading the instruction booklet, it said I should rotate so they all get XP, but when palying I notice when I swap them they would the XP, so that got me confused.

Winkle Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Same here. That level design was just bad in my opinion. There was no way I would have found my way out of that swamp by myself without a guide. I spent far to much time trying to get out of that. I would have skipped ahead with a cheat but I knew I would have missed a cutscene or something apart of the story. I made it out of that level without cheating or reading any guides, but it costs me like a couple of hours searching every single bloody corner of the map to find a way out. They place the path in the most impossible to find places, it was a nightmare I tell you. That was undoubtably the worst level in JKII.

Abombz!! Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Thats odd.... I didn't even give the swamp level a second notice. It was get in and get out... must have wasted less then 30 minutes to go through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winkle Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Some of us can't navigate Plus, I had a GeForce2 MX back then on a crappy comp, that level was chopping up like crazy and I didn't want to turn down the settings. Oh well. I'm hooked onto KotOR right now... it's going to be the death of me... I blame it if I fail all my exams lol. I was half-way into the game, 24 hours when I decided that my character was too thingy spread out in the feats and skills department so I just restarted yesterday, I'm currently on Dantooine again. Stupid addictive game! My favourite character by far... HK47! "I hate all meatbags, except for the master of course." GOLD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The damn exit was hidden under plants and a rock overhang in a little puddle... It looked like every other rock formation around there!

Effect Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 After the first few fights with the stormtroopers you get so turned around. Add to the fact that no matter where you go you end up back at the same place since the exit isn't in plan view. Like said its actually under the water in a corner. I was in that corner so many times and I had no reason to think it would be under the water. Nothing before that level suggested they would have done that. Not to mention there was the fog effect in the swamp, seeing the water falling down the rocks is all but impossible unless you pretty much up against that wall. That level is also setup so that you think there are other ways to get out. Like the trees and rocks that are fallen that you can jump up on only to find out you can not go any further because the wall just causes you to fall back down.

Abombz!! Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 (edited) I see you ppl never played the swamp levels of Mysteries of the Sith then.... they were so badly designed I felt like shooting the producers and charging their family for the wasted bullets. <_< Those levels are so bad you would need a noclip cheat code to figure out the layout. It makes the JO swamp level look like a straight line. Edited December 10, 2003 by Abombz!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a chance to pick it up the other day but I didn't. I dunno, maybe I'm complaining too much. I mean, it could have been as linear as Red Faction Vostok 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
