Hello! I see you.

Also, I wouldn't want to skip Taris if I were you. The K1RP adds some cool new things things to Taris and it doesn't take all that long to reach them if you play the game as I normally do with skipping all of the dialogue.
Hmh, fair enough. I just figured that Taris + more content that makes that part of the game even longer is a recipe for something terrible.

For some reason, I'm now feeling like I want to LP this game myself, maybe start an SSLP as a female character. I'm sure I'll get over that feeling once I'm halfway through Taris and/or remember just how much work an SSLP requires.

Keep Kaidan Carth. There's also no special need to make his life miserable, since it's already pretty lovely without your intervention.

I saw that strikethrough. At least the VA did a slightly better job as Kaidan than Carth but then again that may be just down to voice direction.

Kaidan Alenko party member for Mass Effect (and possibly 2/3 depending on player choices). Both Carth and Kaidan have the same VA.

So given the reason that I put in the OP for starting this thread, I'm curious about when everyone is planning on going and seeing the The Force Awakens. I decided to go see it on December 17th at a 10pm showing, so is anybody else going to see it in theaters?

Hello! I see you.


I'll probably go see The Force Awakens pretty early on, just so I can stay relatively spoiler-free. Since I'm a miserable goon who hates people, I don't like going to the cinema and certainly won't be there on opening night. If this was any other film I'd just wait for the Blu-Ray release or watch it on Netflix later, but it's loving Star Wars.

Hey people, GMA here with an announcement. Many of the people that would normally commentate with me for my LPs have gotten busy as of late and I am now in need of at least 2 people that can record commentary for KotOR on Saturday mornings between 9 am and 10 am central time. If you can help me out with this then either PM me here on the forums or hit me up on Skype. My Skype name is thegreatjoshini.

Alright time for another episode of shenanigans with Ming the Merciless and Company. Also, tomorrow is the first night that many of us will be going to see The Force Awakens, so if you want to share your thoughts on it here in the thread feel free to do that just remember to hold back on the spoilers for the sake of everyone who hasn't had a chance to see it. One other thing, I'm still looking for people to co-commentate with so if you are interested go ahead and message me on Skype. My Skype name is TheGreatJoshini.

I am enjoying this LP, but would you mind leaving the dialogue, including your own options, up on the screen long enough to read it? At times you click by so fast there isn't even time to pause. Also, if possible, could you indicate the dialogue choice you make? At times it is very hard to guess which option you choose.

I'm sorry I will correct that in future recordings. I didn't realize that I was going to quick for everyone. Also, I will actually click on the response I choose from now on instead of choosing it via the number keys. In other news, Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens certainly exceeded my expectations, but if you have read any of the expanded universe novels that took place after Return of the Jedi then you will notice some familiar elements.

Hello! I see you.


This latest video is still pretty dark. It's not too bad when you're in the Upper City, but Lower City is looking more than a bit murky and I really recommend turning up the brightness for future videos.

Also, you do actually need both Sith uniforms in K1RP. I found that out the hard way.

I noticed you went using Sniper Shot much, it didn't seem to be effective at all.

For the Selvan fight I grabbed the energy shield of the fallen Vulkar guy and activated it before starting, makes it go by much easier.

Yeah, for some reason I tend to forget about energy shields if only because I just got used to not using them in the vanilla version of the game.

It's plenty effective once you get the Master level, especially in the sequel. There you can get pistols that have a natural 18-20 critical threat range. With Master Sniper Shot and Keen, you get a 75% chance to crit, plus a stun effect. It's unnecessarily powerful.

Technical Analysis
Nov 21, 2007

I got 99 problems but the British ain't one.
It's powerful sure, but it's not rapid shot + sneak attack + force stasis, or your choice of flavor of stun attack.

Friendly reminder that the OP, on Christmas Eve 2015, bitched another LP out of existence for the crime of the sincerest form of flattery and encroaching on his original IP: a light side KOTOR let's play.

Congratulations, GMArcturus. You harassed a guy into ceasing doing a let's play.

Please don't do this. I don't want to see any more drama over this stuff, I said as much when I closed the thread.

I don't know the whole story, but I have to say I'm bummed the SSLP was closed. I typically am only able to read and enjoy SSLPs for various reasons, so at the very least for me it was the only way to see a LP for KOTOR...something I've desired for some time.

Sorry to see it closed.

I have a legitimate complaint that they never gave wookies more than stock roars. Gets old fast.

Also I wish they changed their design so they look less like "tall guy in suit" in this. What was it, Republic Commando, that had their art style changed so they look way bigger than humans all over?

That was pretty funny, but I also disagree. KOTOR and especially KOTOR 2 have some great characters, but Mission isn't one of them. And she can't compete with Mordin Solus, who's especially great.
