just wondering, does anyone use the intel 82865 graphics controller with Intel extreme graphics? (It's integrated; not third party.) If so, does KOTOR work on ur computer? Sorry to break the flow of the thread.

Hmmm, ya. It's like real life. The technology we've got now only came about in the past hundred years or so. A technology boom, haha:P

Just remember the Old Republic is already over 20,000 years old at this point. That means a lot of the technology has been around for longer than even we could conceive. From hyperdrive to blasters to turbolasers to lightsabers. You can't expect "new" technology to come along. What you can however expect is improvements. Consider the fact that shields, blasters, turbolasers, ship armor, and hyperdrives keep improving. Everything is improving at the same rate so there doesn't appear to be a difference because each offensive improvement eventually meets its defensive equivalent. If you compare the old technology to the new technology though...An Imperial Star Destroyer would shred the Leviathon in minutes without receiving damage. The Millenium Falcon could outfly the Ebon Hawk no problem and probably destroy it easily. And those personal energy shields would have a hole blown through them in a single blast by a Stormtrooper carbine.

Ya, it's explained by the Twi'Lek that tries to sell you a energy shield from his counter in the first apartment complex on Taris. Due to the energy shield technology, that deflects blasters and such, the aggressive agents in the galaxy have turned to swords and vibroblades for weapons. lol, i sound daft! :D

And yet a basic Disruptor Pistol costs less than a Sniper Rifle...

You don't call the Death Star a technological breakthrough?


I think he meant that over the entire 3000 (or what is it?) years between KOTOR and The trilogies (movies) there hasn't been too much improvement :P

Energy shields means that side arms are now vibroblades. Plus the Sith are different.

I didn't really enjoy the framerate, particularly with the way ATI drivers would alternate between breaking KotOR and then letting it work again (i.e. switch between the two with each release).

Also, how many times in the SW movies do you see a stormtrooper whip out a big-ass sword and start dueling a Rebel D&D style? :P

1st time through playin it...almost done...easily the best game ive ever played

Come on now, every Generation X boy wanted to be Luke Skywalker. Is it because he was a whiney farm boy from some backwater hack planet? No, it's because he was a FREAKING JEDI. He could block lasers with his lightsaber. He could levitate droids & rocks & crap with his mind. Come on, he choked two pig dudes with just a simple gesture. He cut off Darth Vader's hand and kicked him down a flight of stairs. He got his @$$ zapped by lightning from the geezer Emperor, stood up and said "s'at all you got b!tc#??"
