Chu, are you hitting on her? Run while you still can...

Seriously though, SYM is great, and we are always looking for more people to spam with...

You do seem to know your stuff, I hope the stuff is true - especially the better production values...

[QUOTE=Bastila_Shan][quote="Those K3 People]...The third installment of the series will expand on the somewhat lackluster second title...

...Obsidian has been clearly instructed to take their time and pump out a game that rivals the original in quality...

...entirely new cast of characters and even more force powers. Shifting your character between light and dark will also have a much more significant impact on the game.[/quote][/QUOTE"]

Wow, i do belive all of my dreams have just come true. Thanks Bas!

i guess that means they are abandoning the whole revan storyline then. still its great that they are allowed to spend long enough to perfect it

Hate to be the ass, but, as thats my official role here:
None of this has really ben confirmed, this is all just general conjecture by a bunch of people like us trying to please everyone until some sort of official anouncement is made. That being said:

w00t, its a bout time someone said something.

Bastard. You've just ruined my day.

Considering the title of the link and the first line of text under being 'They're not official yet, but we know deep down we're going to be seeing them sooner or later', it could have been assumed as such. Otherwise, it does make sense that they would go to an era where there are actual jedi...

Otherwise, come now, the thread is all about Optimism, and continuing thanks to BS for contributing as much as she is.

Yes it is a really good piece of digging but i suppose nothings been confirmed yet which is a bit annoying. I would prefer it if LA came out and said it was in production but it will take this long or whatever. At least that way we'd have some closure. I like the idea about it taking place many years in the future - although it might not answer the questions from the previous games (or it could who knows) but it gives them a lot of possibilities - as Hill said maybe taking place in an era with actual Jedi or when Jedi aren't hated.

What do you mean "actual Jedi"?? I don't see diffrence between old Republic Jedi and Jedi from Skywalker's time.

Darth Mason · Post by **Darth Mason** » Fri Mar 17, 2006 10:24 am

hmm yes your right my bad. Ok then let me rephrase that - i would like to see some jedi with the sort of new age teaching like some of yoda style teaching. Also maybe meet masters from the council on missions to certain planets you visit and you have to aid them or vice versa. I'm also lookin forward to seeing what the significance of the planets is ... ie the star maps n the lost jedi.

All the way through the third one there was, perhaps, 100 Jedi still alive, and most had stopped using lightsabers or anything of the sort, except for five. Other than that, there was you and Kreia. Not exactly exploding with Jedi, and the previous two games had a lot to do with those two particular groups (Sith and Jedi) that to not have much of it in the third might take a bit from the game.

Again, Bastilla, I must write to offer my thanks. You provide me with hope! In fact, your posts are the first thing I look for on this forum (no offence intended to anyone else out there!). Keep up the great work! I don't know how you do what you do, but it's most certainly appreciated!

found this posted today:

After expressing his desire to see Neverwinter Nights 2 on the Xbox 360 (a wish that may not be fulfilled), Obsidian's Feargus Urquhart was also happy to discuss with TVG the current "will it/won't it" situation surrounding LucasArts Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 3.

"We have been talking with LucasArts to do KOTOR3 since August 2004 and we hoped to do it since KOTOR2 was done. LucasArts is thinking what they want to do with it and we would happily make KOTOR3, if that's what LucasArts wants to do."

So it seems ideas are on the table, whether or not LucasArts will conclude this trilogy faster then they do with others, however, remains to be seen.

As long as they do a good job, I don't mind the wait really. Its good that they are coming up with ideas now as it means they will have planned it all out so they can put loads of detail into it (hopefully

)

And lots of shiny screenshots and juicy storyline tidbits!

Not to be a downer, but what annoys me about this is that it sounds as though LA hasn't even greenlit anyone to start working on it yet. I was kinda hoping that someone was already working on it (and if that were the case, I'd happily wait for as long as it takes), but instead it sounds as though LA is still deciding whether they want to make one or not. I appreciate the digging, though, Krayt_Dragon. Bad news is still better than no news...

I've been away for quite some time now but i've heard interesting news at ign.com. Bioware is opening up a studio in Austin Texas which will be solely devoted for their first ever upcoming massive multiplayer online title, could it be Knights of the Old Republic III? They haven't said anything about the title but i'm hoping it's KOTOR III.

I just read something interesting it sounded like someone actually posted about the game.(one of the designers) But maybe LucasArts is holding out on Obsidian because Bioware has something in the works already.(just a thought)

See ya until i find out more.

Fierce · Post by **Fierce** » Sun Apr 02, 2006 6:08 am

KotOR III as an MMORPG? Hell no! There is already a MMO Star Wars game - SW Galaxies. KotOR III has to be a strict single-player game, if you ask me.

Greetings
