Why do you people want the same characters?

personally, i don't care much for the exile. if (s)he's not important to have in K3, i'd like to have them left out. i'd like to have mission zaalbar and jolee back with the rest of your list (and carth if you didn't mention him. i forget who you all mentioned hehe. opted not to quote you

)

mission and zalbarr? they bore me- just pick ups who were lucky to find revan when they did

mission, zaalbar and jolee are likely dead if you played darkside character in kotor1.

I would rather play as a new character, and leave revan and exile as non playable. Maybe similar to the way the jedi council was in kotor1, where you speak to them and everything like that, but you cant actually play them.

It would be very difficult with the level of power they are at. But it would be more fresh to play as a new character, and you find out about what happened to revan and exile by investigating, and then later on you get to speak to them and find out more.

But having them playable is not a good idea too me. I could see bastilla and carth coming back from kotor1, and atton and a couple of others from kotor2, but on the other hand I would prefer new characters, with just a few returning characters.

not "likely dead", they would be dead. however, it'd be awesome imo if you could choose the ending of the previous 2 games that you played and play K3 that way. so if you choose DS for K1, then they're dead, but if you choose LS then they arent.

playing characters at levels of power like Revan isnt really that difficult, if you mean it how i think you do. just put him/her at level 1, but lvl 1 of K3 is like the equivalent of lvl 20 in K1 or something like that, as opposed to a former Sith Lord who has to try in a fight as pathetic as those in the taris duel ring.

The thing with that then is the developers would have to create a lot more story lines, and connect them in different ways. That would be more work than they would be willing to do.

I still believe bioware or obsidian or whoever makes the game will take a similar route to kotor2, and just have a bunch of dialog and other things that will explain what happened with revan and exile and the other characters as well. This will make their job much easier, even though many fans would be a bit disappointed that they dont get to play through the war against the true sith.

I agree completely with this, and I preferred it that way in K2 - it didn't step too much on the toes of however you played K1 (or which time you played K1 you were continuing in K2). The main problem with the more old characters you bring back is how much it affects the open-ended RPG element of the game which makes it so enjoyable.

Admittedly, if they have new characters, I would be hoping they're not just carbon copies of earlier charcters, but with different names - K2 sometimes veered in this direction (more with the planets than the characters, I tihnk).

I've seen people posting on here a while back that they wouldn't mind sacrificing the open-endedness in order to "finish the story". But I would personally absolutely hate that. That's not to say I don't want the story "finished", but I want to do it in MY way, like the earlier games, dammit!

no doubt, but wouldn't you appreciate it that much more if you could get some of the characters that you wanted? maybe you would, maybe not. i know i would. i just hope that it's bioware that makes K3. i preferred the setup of K1, personally: the story, the characters (and being able to learn a lot about them), and the UI

I just want the main char to be Revan, i have never felt such likeness in a damn video game char(of course s/he fought in wars and i didnt but i mean the characteristics of the revan). And i want Bastila back same as canderous.
It really wouldnt be a problem to have a too strong character in the game since the opponents would be hell more powerful than in the earlier2 games...
And they should make itBIG, like to have many different paths of the story. And i really want to have many endings too, not just one(k2;s endings were pretty much same).

agreed, mostly. can't say i find much likeness between revan and myself, but (s)he is still an awesome char. i also would like bastila and canderous back. to be honest, i wouldn't mind having all of the chars from K1 and K2 back (except Juhani G0-T0 and Disciple. If Bao-dur comes back, I just hope that he can wear some damn Jedi robes. I've tried my best to recreate Darth Maul for interest's sake, and the best i can do is double-blade red, dark side baodur, and a heavy exoskeleton (forget if it's heavy or light, but one of the two)

I would love to see them bring back some characters like Revan, Bastila, Carth, The Exile, Kreia etc. But I wouldnt want them to bring them all back as I dont care about some of them. I could feel the connection between Revan and Bastila and I want to see how it ends. What they should do for KOTOR 3 is at the beginning of the game, you should be able to pick what happened at the end of your game of KOTOR 1 & 2. Then it can start off from there so some characters will and wont be in it. But i think that Revan and The exile should leave you near the end of the game which leads them to their inevitable deaths. There could also be a special reward for doing something you could unlock a cutscene showing you what Revan and The Exile did.

can't bring back Kreia. Exile killed her. mind you, Arthas suppsodely killed Illidan in WC3, but didn't. guess Kreia coulda survived somehow too. but if you could bring back the dead chars, i wouldn't mind a redeemed Malak.

I don't want any characters that you killed as darkside in both games to come back, only the ones that you finish with in both games as light and dark.

Lego_Sniper · Post by **Lego_Sniper** » Mon Jul 23, 2007 2:18 pm

I think some sort of storyline should be involved with a main dead character coming back to life e.g Kreai or Malak or even both. If that was to be true the title could be:
Star Wars
Knights Of The Old Republic III
The Final Bout
or something like that LOL.

It kind of is impossible to revive any of the older characters into a new KOTOR. it is because their are 27 million different options in the past 2 games to kill off different npcs.on rakatan prime or whatever that planet is before star forge, u get the chance to either kill bastilla or jollee, and basically most of your characters. Also you can kill visas, or "sacrifice" her, and your party dies if you are darkside supposedly. to have a KOTOR 3 would mean you would have to discard the past 2 games and have the game set somewhere totally different or further in the future, where tales of revan are told, or tales of the exile are told.
