Finally got KOTOR

[rajpoot]

Reading the spoilers from the KOTOR 2 plot reminds me of just how good that game could have been, alas for completely buggy games!

They are remedying that.

If you haven't seen it yet, then check this it. It's still not released, but when it will be, I think it'll make KOTOR 2 better than KOTOR.
They're putting in a lot of stuff cut off from the original release of the game and polishing the whole thing.

I wouldn't get your hopes up too high about this, that mod has been stuck at about 95% completion for the last couple of years.

Two things that are incredibly stupid in all SW games (KOTOR included) is:

1. Ordinary blades can parry Jedi Lightsabers. If anything a Jedi Lightsaber would cut through a steel blade.
2. How the hell can Jedi's even fight for several minutes mandalorians or Spiders or whatever? Heck in the movies they plow through armies easily enough. Though in the games you have to give several blows before a soldier or animal dies. -_-'

(Yes, I'm aware if they the jedis as powerful as in the movies, they would be way overpowered over the rest of the enemies, but hey, that's what being a jedi is all about.)

They actually explain in the game that all regular swords are made using a ``cortosis weave`` which is supposed to be strong enough to stand up to a lightsaber. It`s not a great in game explanation, but they at least try.

[Azathoth]

It's a perfectly fine explanation.

And the solution to a buggy KOTOR or KOTOR 2 is to just get them for the Xbox.

KOTOR 2 is still fairly buggy on xbox. My main problem with two wasn't the bugs, but the obviously cut content and the way it retconned every choice you made in the first game away in the first hour.

Provided he can do this (5:46) to a steel (Steel? Or something even more durable?) blast door of several inches of thickness in such a short time notice, I can't see how a thin layer of metal as a sword can be gigantically resistent to a lightsaber. >__> Also, those scenes show perfectly enough how two Jedi's dispose of dozens of enemies in 10 or so seconds, while in Kotor you to kill 4 enemies, you take some minute of fighting and parrying. >__<

Cortosis is an element in the SW universe that is so strong it's able to withstand the incredible force of a lightsaber. I first remember it mentioned in the Jedi Outcast games. The reason everything isn't made out of cortosis is that it's "rare".

Doesn't mean it's believable, but hey, at least Bioware didn't make it up on the spot. It's a well established silly thing.

As Monk said, cortosis makes sense in the contaxt of the game. Besides, by the end of the game you hack up enemies in no time at all. It only takes time if you don't use any force powers or abilities and just stick with basic attacks. Also, remember that you don't start the game as a fully trained Jedi.

I've been glued to the game since I bought it two days ago and I've barely started to get into the thick of things, best 9.99 I've spent so far.

There's a couple of content mods, one I am following is planned for release this month. So we'll see.

That is very out of date. It hasn't been touched for over two years or so.
