If running with scissors is dangerous, I wonder what word would be used for running and jumping with lightsabers.

I think that guy had double lightsabers there. I bet the Biobuddies are foaming at the mouth.

I was just amazed to see anyone with only one old-fashioned lightsaber. Ant they were holding it with both hands! I mean, not even a blaster or some kooky orb once owned by Luke's distant ancestor that shoots lightning bolts while humming the Battle Hymn of the Republic in their off hand, how crazy is that.

Got to say that these screens look great. Star wars is a cool universe to play in and I really hope they will pull it off to make this game enjoyable.
I'm defenitely not a biobuddy but....they did make a couple of cool games.
Allthough BG2 is not the best rpg ever, I found it quite an enjoyable game experience. Same goes for their IWD games and defenitely Planescape: Torment.
Oh well, I just guess wéll have to wait and seem what KOTR will turn into.
But I'm defenitely not going to bash on a game for the sole premesis of being developed by Bioware.

I'll spell out what Vault Dweller hinted at: the only CRPGs developed by Bioware thus far are BG1, BG2 and NWN. IWD 1 & 2 and PS:T are made by Black Isle.

Can you say that again?

Hey, I'm only human you know? :oops:

Anyway, my point remains. Plenty of people liked the BG gameseven though they weren't exactly the rpg experience many hoped it would be, and even NWN has some cool moments (some user made mods are quite enjoyable)
Proclaiming a game as utter crap before even playing a demo of it and pissing and moanig about the people making it seems rather (sorry to say this) arrogant to me.
Oh well, we'll see.

1. BioWare's technical ability is utter shit. They couldn't write a decent pathfiending algorithm to save their lives.
2. Their design has been weak, flawed. I believe it took BioWare looking at PS:T before they had some partial clue about how to go about making a CRPG. Even that didn't help.
3. Check out the thread here where a BioWare employee makes a rather stupid excuse on how/why their work is so shitty.
4. They keep stroking their egos on being so talented, yet about the only damn thing that has made them popular is the licenses with which they work in.

Which one? There's also a thread in the General RPG Forum where someone posted a thing about BioWare saying they didn't put cloaks in NWN because they didn't have the time to make the cloaks with the kind of quality they demand from themselves. Of course, that's just ironic since not showing cloaks you wear on the player model at all seems a hell of a lot more half assed to me than making cloaks that part of the model occationally clips.
