what kinda new characters would you all like to see?

Kythras · Post by **Kythras** » Fri Sep 30, 2005 7:51 pm

Ok, here are my thoughts

- A gungan force adept (Gets forcepower, but can't use lightsabre)
- I never really had a tihng for the original droids, something interesting like a... rogue Sith Sentry or something
- A Carth kinda guy, ordinary human solder, pistols or blaster rifle, maybe scoundrel
- Female Mandalorian, for "intrest" *wink wink*
- Male ex-Sith, again for "intrest"
- Adumari soldier, just because I am obsessed with Adumar
- A very generic Jedi, blue lightsabre, follows the code to the letter, it would just be very interesting when you are a bit of a rebel. Wouldnt get along with the ex-Sith
- Mon Cal tech spec
- Bothan spy

Heckle your hearts out children!

yeah, go gungans!

adumari soldier, huh? i guess thats in the books. i was lookin in wikipedia, and adumar sounds interesting. it might even be cool to have a pilot from the planet, given its background.

here's what wikipedia says about it:

"The planet of Adumar is an anomaly, settled by anonymous colonists during the early years of the Old Republic and isolated ever since. But now [in the New Republic] it has been discovered. The Adumari love pilots..."

it would be a perfect place to find a pilot after all the wars that have taken place. just look at some of the characters that came from the novel, Starfighters of Adumar, that were featured:

"Allston [the author] often characterizes the four pilots through their joking styles: Tycho with occasional and devastating one-liners, Hobbie with pessimistic backtalk, Janson with constant irreverencies, and Wedge as the smirking straight man."

yeah, gotta love those pilots...Hobbie sounds a lot like atton, though. someone like janson would be kinda annoying, for a pilot. a character like wedge would be kinda cool, though.

The focal point of any role-playing game worth its salt is character development and interaction. I know a good many of us (myself included) prefer a robust character development system and involved storyline to, say, a 3D graphics engine. With this in mind, most of what I see in this thread reinforces the notion that what the majority of RPG enthusiasts want out of a game is character options, and character choices. The more, the better.

NPCs should be as varied and interesting as the player characters. Since the Star Wars milieu has untold numbers of alien races inhabiting it, there is a load of room for NPC variation. Twi'leks have always been a very popular race for most Star Wars fans, as are Wookiees. Myself, I would like to see a Light Side (or grey) Zabrak jedi enter the picture as an NPC.

As a departure from the Han Solo mold of human pistolero hero (Carth seemed to be a bit too much like Han to be totally original to me), I would like to see a slightly psychotic, or perhaps very neurotic, human ruffian join the party. Perhaps circumstances drive him your way. As much as I like Wookiees, I think their roles have become a bit cliche to my liking, so I'm not sure I would like to see any pop up in a KoTOR 3.

Trying something different would give a possible K3 something the other games don't have in the way of a great RPG.

I think that you all are forgetting the most important race (other than cone-head dude cuz hes awesome)

WE NEED A YODA/VANDAR SPECIES, possibly he could take mentor role like kreia or he could have been outcasted from his society because he was too reckless to easy for him to turn to ds or something, (i want a flippin' midget!)

JFSOCC · Post by **JFSOCC** » Sat Oct 08, 2005 9:58 am

i'd like to see some continuation on the storyline of kotor 2, see an old man that used to be (or even work under) disciple, who restarted the jedi acadamy, find in the acadmy a ancient tomewhich speaks of a jedi that went to the outer rim, and another that followed him, and goes to find out where they went, and what happend, perhaps a planet or 2 which were restored by the ithorians anything that links back to what you could have done during star wars kotor 2, maybe even that it is possible to import files from kotor 2 (save games?) to base the storyline on the choices you made before (so either you start in a world where thelight side was victorious, or where the dark side was, depending on how you ended the last game, else you'd just start neutrally)
something like a young yoda, coming to the acadamy as just a pupil would be cool too.

Phreddie · Post by **Phreddie** » Sat Oct 08, 2005 12:21 pm

Yoda as pary member?

I may be a little confused on timelines but, Yoda was 800 yrs old when he died, could it be possible for you to actually pick up teenage Yoda in your party. His alignment changing with his hormones..lol maybe its milenia away from the star wars trilogies and not centuries, but hey a yound yoda who just got his pilot liscence bouncing around the galaxy picking up ..ahem.. packages... falling in with another new jedi and going off into the galaxy to fight the sith and impress said.. ahem.. packages...

yoyopogo104 · Post by **yoyopogo104** » Sat Oct 08, 2005 10:10 pm

no one knows what yoda's race is called, i dont think, but its always nice to have a "yoda" around. wasnt his home world obliterated? perhaps it could be visited in a future kotor...

anyways, the "real" yoda cant possibly be in kotor III. hes 800 yrs old in the movies, but thats in 0 B.B.Y. the kotor series takes place 4000 B.B.Y. hes only 3200 yrs too young. dang u, yoda!

JFSOCC · Post by **JFSOCC** » Sun Oct 09, 2005 8:42 am

i was under the impression that during episode 1 the republic was 1000 years old, hence a kotor 3 that playsabout 100years after 2 (i don't knowthe difference between 1 and 2, sad to have missed 1.)would maybe sport a young yoda, also yado wasn;t 800 years old, he sais he'd been training yedi for over 800 years, hence he maybe older.

Phreddie · Post by **Phreddie** » Sun Oct 09, 2005 8:42 am

You never no Yoda coulda lied about his age, hell if i were 4000 yrs old id lie too. Besides you never know Yodas homeworld could have set a drinking age limit (you cant drink PAST a certain age) at like 850 so he made himself 800 so he could still party. he was discovered as afraud and forced into jedi knight hood to be a cryptic midgit f*** for the rest of his life... amen(?)

yoyopogo104 · Post by **yoyopogo104** » Sun Oct 09, 2005 9:31 am

yoda does have that famous quote, "When 900 years old you reach, look as good you will not," so i take it he died @ 900. an extra 100 yrs. doesnt really get him much closer to kotor, though. episode 1 starts in 32 BBY, close enough to 0 if u ask me

. (oh, yeah, there's a 5 yr diff between kotor I and II, JFSOCC

)

i dont really think yoda would be so foolish to lie about his age. we're talkin 'bout the wisest jedi master there ever was.

[QUOTE=yoyopogo104]i dont really think yoda would be so foolish to lie about his age. we're talkin 'bout the wisest jedi master there ever was.[/QUOTE]

I still think Yoda was a rebel and he was forced into becoming a Jedi, he probly talks backwards just to anger people and he gets his advice from a book and his mother... possibly form experience with ex-wives numbers 3,7, and 26

JFSOCC · Post by **JFSOCC** » Sun Oct 09, 2005 5:47 pm

lol
where do you get these dates? (data not women)

Phreddie · Post by **Phreddie** » Sun Oct 09, 2005 6:34 pm

Most dates come from random sources in the eu (extended universe)

The extended universe is all the games and books that george lucas didnt write , he jsut signed off that the authors could use starwars tm's and stuff in them. the one most mportant thing to remember when perusing the eu GL didnt write any of it now that eposide 3 is done he is too (unless you count him rereleasing all films into imax in 3D stating 07 i think) hmm thats an interesting new topic..... if you could watch star wars in 3D, something like that battle hologram the seperatists were using in ep. 2 at the battle of geonosis.

Chanak · Post by **Chanak** » Sun Oct 09, 2005 8:22 pm

Let's steer the discussion back on topic - Yoda's ex-wives have nothing to do with this thread.

Phreddie · Post by **Phreddie** » Mon Oct 10, 2005 1:05 pm

Hey he might be be a couple hundred years to young to be here but if he married older women for their money while having a few on the side, they could be aparty member, or maybe yoda's momma n her baby-daddy could be there.

[QUOTE=Revan_Reborn225]
I'm just so tired of always having the exact same party members that never really change. [/QUOTE]

Exactly - though I enjoyed the cast of the two games, I only ever used Jolee and Bastila in the first one and Treay and Visas Marr in the second. I never needed to switch anything, and I guess that's ok, because you can feel something for the characters you use all the time. So my advice is for Kotor III (which is definitely coming

) -

make fewer characters - but more characterful! Maybe, as Revan_Reborn suggested, with dialogue branches for different alignments?

Hill-Shatar · Post by **Hill-Shatar** » Fri Oct 28, 2005 8:25 pm

I would rather have several dozen pickable party members pop up in the game, other than a small amount that I would not like anyways.

You dont have to take them all... perhaps five in total if you want, or perhaps many more, for variety. Something simple always works. I also would mind something else than a scoundrel, or other law breakers, and the like. For once I would like to have a scientist join your party, or something along those lines... someone who can perform tasks with knowledge that others of different types can not just possess.

Phreddie · Post by **Phreddie** » Sat Oct 29, 2005 8:21 am

This would take time, but it shouldnt be a too much of a problem, there should be about 35-40 differnt people who can join and leave your party. If you get a dark sider in your party early on, but you go extremely light, and you dont have enough influence to change him as well, then the darksider will drop his equipment and walk off with what ever equipment he originally came with. You could choose who you want, and you could choose, that say, if you didnt like them, you can force them out. Some of them would be essenetial, you can tell them to leave and they would, but you could go back and ask them to rejoin and they would. there should be 15 slots for party members or 8 higher or lower, but it needs to cange. essentials should include:
1. a new droid.
2. a scientist smart person to take plac eof bastilla, would be a ligt side jedi
and that is all, the droid would be yours at the begining, he wouldnt be one of those r2-d2 droids he would be a mix between hk and tm34 he could walk talk shoot, and do security and comps and repair but not good at anything else.
my ideas for the randoms you pick up and drop off:
-a dark side jedi who has problems with the sith doctrine, maybe you convert him either way, or kill him to get extreme dark sidepoints.
- a lightsaber wielding droid, like general grevious but all droid
- an extreme lightsaber who can only use a single saber, but preferes not to use anything.
-an extreme darksider, comes with a lightstaff.
- a gray force sensitive who left the acadmey, would have a lightsaber and clothes, he would be like an apprentice of sorts, to change his sides, you would need to be a prestige class, or have the xtreme dark/lightsider to change over
-an assassination droid, has the built in ability to go invisible, and has mira's darts and rockets.
-handmaiden as a nuetral jedi
-mira same as handmaiden, they become companions and join and leave together
- an assassin, he would have an extremely low rate of fire, hyperpower gun ( asniper rifle) and would be good with mines.
- a techie, he would be a human droid, u could ask him to build upgrades for free
- a gung-ho blaster dude that you could train to the force
- an apretince you pick up on the planet you start out on, about 15 minutes into play, he would not be able to leave until about hal way through, he leaves because he dislikes your path in the force, comes back as the final boss.
-bastilla's daughter, is fathered by revan if he was a male, or carth if revan was a female
-revan's son, fathered by carth or born of bastilla, is the brother of bastilla's sister, find seperatley and have a quest to unlock the knowledge of relation by delving into their minds with the force.
thats all for now, but there should be about 8-10 planets with 2-3 potentials for each.

[QUOTE=Darth Trahus]How about a jedi droid, like grevious. Yes, a nogri would be nice, with the gas shooting guns. A Bothan would be nice. I don't like Ithorians very much, odd head.[/QUOTE]

A jedi droid is a genius idea.

The concept of a jedi Ithorian makes my head giggle.

Phreddie · Post by **Phreddie** » Sun Nov 27, 2005 6:55 am

to add to the above character list.
- a Wookie Jedi, I heard that chewbacca's son became one, why not zaalbar's?
-a non combat protocol droid, he cant fight but will be used on a series of adventures in which you need something translated.
- a want another zabrak other than baodur, he would be a dark side jedi, tattooed like Maul, could be brought back to light tatoos would go away and new lighter ones would appear.
- a twi'lek or human dancer that comes and dances on your ship :mischief: ,would give a persuasion bonus.
- a mandalorian force sensitive, he cant wield a lightsaber or use most force powers, but the force enhances his abilities in other ways.
- a big muscly man who excels at melee.
-an echani unarmed master, you would pick him and handmaden and mira up on n echani world possibly.

feel free to continue the list.
