More Walk-Throughs

Here's a link with some cool walkthroughs. I recommend the one on Influence, since it will help make most of your adventuring party become Jedi. http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/dos...me/920601.html

And may the Force be with you.

No one wants to make a crappy game (with the exception of 3DO), but deadlines are a bitch and are sometimes impossible to hit.
Yeah, the more I read about it the clearer the circumstances become. I've read (and it certainly isn't a surprise) that Lucasarts wanted the game to come out before Christmas and ramped up the pressure.

What amazes me, however, is the fact that nobody seemed to know about this until recently. I mean, I understand the vast majority of the legalese (non-disclosure agreements, etc...), but Obsidian is a sizable company, right? I just find it hard to believe that none of the disgruntled employees, and every company is full of them, even hinted about this.

When the first one came out there was a sizable forum community on the Bioware site. Users asking questions, posting bugs, asking this that and the other and they were almost always answered or at least addressed by the Bioware geeks who ran/moderated the board. I was there quite a bit and more often than not if the question was asked the Bioware folks answered or at least offered an explanation.

When the second game came out, I didn't see this kind of 'hands-on' approach from the folks at Obsidian. In fact, I can't recall any help or any explanations of any kind. Glitches were posted, questions were asked and it seemed that the folks at Obsidian chose to not respond. I'll admit, I wasn't there much, so, maybe things changed, but that was the general vibe I noticed.

Employees may be disgruntled, but I doubt that any of them would want to risk their career in a small industry by breaking an NDA. The industry makes a lot of money, but it is still pretty small, and people all know each other.

Besides, this is unfortunately the rule instead of the exception. It's always a fight. Someone says a deadline, someone else balks, arguments happen, someone gets screwed.

As for Obsidian not choosing to respond to their forums, I would guess that the company isn't as big as it appears, and that they don't have a community manager to take care of things like that.

I played through the game as a LS Sentinel (Force Storm owns) and was planning on replaying as a DS guardian, but now I think I will uninstall the game. I could certainly use the extra HDD space. After all, Chronicles of Riddick is a whopping 4.36 GBs. Yikes.

Apparently you where suppose to go blow up the HK-50 clone factory in a quest. But it got dropped to meet deadline.
Thanks for telling me - I was wondering where this quest got to !
Well I have to say I am very pissed off this game was rushed so much. When they make the 3rd one I will not be buying it if Obsidian makes it. Does anyone know if the x-box version was equally rushed and sent out half finished ?

Yeah, the X-box version was truncated as well. I think if anyone other than Bioware takes up the KOTOR mantle, you can expect some sort of shortchanging.

i JUST finished Kotor2. i didnt like the ending, i think Bioware should be in charge of all star wars console games b/c they definitely make them more enjoyable where as Revenge of The Sith was a big disappointment.
