Sequel or Prequel?

Sorry Chanak

but definately a sequel because there's way too much too be answered for. if you really wanted a prequel because of how much we don't know about the past before the first game they could do another prologue. if they did a prologue it would kind of leave a bad taste in my mouth since i would have to play as a jedi who wasn't famous enough to be mentioned in the first two games

sorry again

Why not take the Fable approach to things? You're born during the rebuilt after Exar Kun's war. You join the acadamy during the mandelorian wars, perhaps have some tie-ins with the battle at Malachore, then you 'graduate' and survive the Jedi civil war.. and then something new?

I like the idea of gradually 'growing up' on Chorusant.

me - I dont care. Id love to have a prequal and learn about the wars and stuff and play the madenlorian wars. but also want a sequel cuz alot of stuff needs to be explained and finished.

I also think it would be fun to start out dark. in the sith academy on korebon. then find your way to the light and redeam yourself or continue darkside and become a powerful sith lord.

I'd like it to be a sequel because i'd like the whole Revan and Exile thing to be finished. so the one after could be new war, new conflicts, and new characters, Revan and Exile will just be a story in the past.

Sequal, they left off so much on both games and making a prequel would totally ruin it. I think that the prequal of an exile might make things challenging to amount to the first KoTOR games, as KoTOR 2 was obvious about the fact that he wasn't an LS Jedi, as he was an exile. So, to make so much of a background for just his opinion and still let him have the option of going Darkside or Lightside would probably prove difficult.

The mystery itself of his background, (at the beginning of the game that is), gives so much depth and so much of an introduction that already caught my attention, and to be able to actually play that mystery, well it wouldn't be one then.

A sequal, if they finish it, could prove to be quite the game, IMO.

Like i said they should finish off the story of the first 2 and then when thats all tied up they should do a prequel to explain everything else that needs explaining.

They should also make sure that they don't leave antother questions when the prequel is finshed because more unanswered questions would have to either be left unanswered which players would hate or they would have to make a whole bunch of other prequels which would in my opinion ruin the KOTOR series

Sequal

Sequal deffinately, just to fill in all the holes that ppl are all wondering about, but since everyone wants to play in the Mandalorian War so bad they should put in flashbacks of the past and get to actually fight as Revan. Like have you talking to somebody and they'll get into a conversation about it and then it'll go to the flashback of the war and start showing a little video, then you jump in and control.

That is a great idea (one of the best) i definitly agree with you. Dont have to have no prequel to ruin everything just flashbacks that the player can play.

Ok. big question. sequel or prequel? this is one of the hardest questions to me about the game. I have reasons for wanting both. I would love to have a prequel bcuz i would love to fight in the mandalorian wars but even more than that i would really love to go bak to the time of Exar Kun, Freedon Nadd, Ajunta Pall, Naga Sadow, Tulak Hord, Marko Ragnos, etc. That would be so awesome. But then on the other hand i am also dying to see what happened to Revan and the exile. Revan mostly. And hopefully be able to play as Revan again. And also bring bastila back and see what happened to her. There are plenty of things i want in kotor 3. but thats for another forum. thats all on this subject. Hope i have some people who agree with me. bye.

Ok with x rays idea the player can do both. The player can play in the mandelorian wars and find out firsthand what went on during that time, and the player can find out what happened to everybody and whats goin on in the outer rim with the TS.

A prequel is a work that portrays events which are set in the same "universe" as a previously completed narrative, but at an earlier time.

A sequel is storyline incorporating the same characters and often the same setting as a previous storyline.

If we were to call kotor a sequel it wold mean to set kotor apart from the star wars univers completely. That is not possible. Kotor is depentent on the star wars univers throw the elements that the game took from the movies... droids, space shuttles, different planets, lightsabers and much more important elements. The storyline depends on the sw univers in a lesser way but it still depends on it. we cannot have darth vader or luke skywalker in kotor, we cannot have droids like r2d2, or ships that look similar to the ones in the movies (though that did happen in kotor II). So the kotor remains a prequel.

you could say it's a sequel after the comicbooks but nothing more.

kotor isn't a independent game, and it will never be so

Well let me explain what this thread means.

Hill-Shatar is saying should KOTOR III be a sequel to KOTOR II or prequel to it not is KOTOR series prequel or sequel.

And what i meant in my previous post is the game should be sequel but the player can see and play what happened in the past. (technicly not a preqeul)

Sequal

I think it should deff be a sequal. The main reason is because they just started making a Knights of the Old Republic comic last month and the first issue is out. It starts 4 years before the game and its about this padawan named Zayne. Check it out. Its not bad. Well anyway. That pretty much sums it up. Why would you make a prequal if the comic is basically the prequal to the game? Its during the whole Mandalorian Wars thing so I hope they bring up Revan and Malak in it.

marten0305 · Post by **marten0305** » Sat Feb 04, 2006 1:01 am

I got to see this comic and they most likely will bring up revan and malak since they were such a big part of the mandelorian wars and the mandalorian wars was a big part of revan and malak.

sequel as the Kotor 2 ending left so many things unresolved.

but a battlefront style fps based in the mandalorian wars would be good.

x_ray619 · Post by **x_ray619** » Sun Feb 05, 2006 1:39 pm

the comic

[marten] hellz yea, that would be frigin awesome, i love them. I hated the villains in the second KOTOR. Revan and Malak are awesome. I hope they show what Revan looks like if he is in the comic.

firesong100 · Post by **firesong100** » Mon Feb 27, 2006 10:13 pm

I voted sequel because much of the prequel has been told to us in backstories in the two games already. We already know what Revan did and why, and the question of where Reven would be by the third game is nearly moot, unless she/he came back to known space with some crucial information or evidence of a problem outside the known galaxy.

Actually though, unless Revan brought back True Sith, I'd rather focus on happenings within the Star Wars galaxy. Perhaps the end of the Sith War, and the restablishment of the Jedi Order, and maybe if the timeline is right, the Sith adopting the "Only Two" rule we hear about in the Phantom Menace.

i agree. it should definetly be a sequel. id like to see these "true sith" thatd be cool. so id go with sequel.

Definetly sequil. I thought the KOTOR II ending was a major downer. Not only was the "light side" ending almost identical to the "dark side" ending, but the whole stupid "echo in the force" thing did NOT follow the Star Wars "legacy". If you were SOOO powerfull that the energy from EVERYTHING would be sucked into you, the their would be no original Star Wars. I think they need to make a sequel to redeam themselves of the following:
a.) The complete open-endedness of the ending (which has everyone in an uproar). Sure it may have been a big setup for a squel, but you have to at least finish a game with more resolution. Basicaly it was a disaster of an ending to a great game.
b.) The player character needs to be able to make some of their own decisions. Like I said already, the fact that the ending was the same no mater what path you chose, really takes the RP out of RPG.
c.) Of COURSE we need to find out what happened to Reven and Bastila. Will you seriously just make the main characters from each game just "go away"? Thats no fun.
