How about KOTOR and KOTOR II seperately?

*meanwhile I am working on crack!Nihilus*

[ladyhadhafang.livejournal.com]

Sounds great! #Interested in crack!Nihilus. I personally just got done watching SUBURBAN KNIGHTS (fuck, what an ending. :( ) and wrote some of my RR!ROTJ fic (damn is Luke-Vader a jackass). Anyways! :D

KOTOR:

Three favorite relationships:

1. Revan/Bastila

2. Revan/Carth

3. Revan/Malak



Three favorite characters:

1. Yuthura Ban

2. Juhani

3. Bastila



Three favorite moments:

1. "Spoiled little Jedi princess." Oh, Canderous. XD

2. The Star Forge. Just...the Star Forge.

3. The Big Reveal. Seriously. 0.0.


Three reasons I like/love KOTOR:

1. The relationships.

2. The dialogue.

3. The plot/gameplay.


=================================================

KOTOR II:

Three favorite relationships:

1. Exile/Sion

2. Exile + Kreia (it's just so twisted and dark and bittersweet and *sad*).

3. Exile/Atton


Three favorite characters:

1. Brianna

2. Visas Marr

3. Atton Rand



Three of my favorite moments:

1. "Jumping into pit a good idea. Get to ground faster that way." XD

2. Sion's first appearance on the HARBINGER.

3. Everything from the fiasco at the Enclave to Malachor V. "Epic" doesn't even cover it. :)


Three reasons I like/love KOTOR II:

1. Kreia. Seriously; she's definitely the selling point for the game. I don't think I've ever seen a female mentor-antagonist that complex, layered, and just all around awesome and terrifying and sympathetic even though she's doing all these horrible things.

2. The writing. Just the writing. From wry, bleak humor to High Octane Nightmare Fuel to heartwarming, the game's got it in spades. Talking to Hanharr as to why he tried to kill Mira comes to mind, as well as comforting Sion (of sorts) after your confrontation with him on Malachor V as the shock of his mortality (and the fact he's basically wasted his life hating and in pain) slowly kills him. Only Malak's death really comes close, IMHO.

3. Um...would it be cheating if I said I love just about everything about KOTOR II? XD

[darth-eldritch.livejournal.com]

Here's mine:

Revan/Malak (friendship with MRevan)
Revan/Bastila (not long term, it's funny in the game)
Revan/Canderous (friendship with MRevan)
Revan/Yuthura srsly

Revan
Malak
Canderous
HK-47 yeah, I'm taking 4 here
Yuthura srsly yes, there's an awesome mod that lets you take a redeemed Yuthura with you on the rest of the game in Juhani's place. *I wants to play this bad*

1. Karath's interrogation
2. The Unknown World
3. Dark Side Infinite Fleet ending

Character concept of Revan
The storyline of Revan/Malak evolving into a tragic enemies
Just about fucking everything else about KOTOR, really

....................

MExile/Visas
MExile/Atris
MExile/Brianna (Yes, Tor Whitloc is this bad)

Atton
Visas
G0-T0
TBH Nihilus (used to really hate him)
Sion

1. Trashing Jekk Jekk Tar
2. Visas talking with Exile before going back to Telos
3. Freedon Nadd's tomb

Parts of it are really fun to play
Can go up so many levels
The concepts represented by Kreia
Annnnnddddddddddddddd the fact that Obsidian/Avellone wanted to bring back Revan.
After LucasArts screwd up K2 with a crushing deadline, Avellone deserves the chance to write that. Because, srsly, he seems to care more for Revan than does Bioware/Karpyshin.

*back to crack!Nihilus

[ladyhadhafang.livejournal.com]

*This* to all your answers. Seriously. :) (Especially the bit about Avellone! :D)

[darth-eldritch.livejournal.com]

Thanks!!!!

I don't know if you've seen this discussion I've had with kinofsimon in kotor_legends but we discussed a lot about KOTOR and what they've done with it. Including what I said about Avellone deserving the chance to make K3 with Revan coming back. It's longish, but what he says is interesting.

[ladyhadhafang.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome. :)

Very interesting discussion with kinofsimon! :D He's awesome. :) And yes, Avellone should really write K3. I personally want to see what he can do with it. :)

[darth-eldritch.livejournal.com]

Yes, he is!

That would have been galaxies worth of awesome, totally. Especially with both the Exile and Revan... I would demand dialogue for a snark war between the two! Ha ha!!!!

*sigh* the concept is too cutting edge, I guess, too imaginative... so some ole MMORPG has to do.

[ladyhadhafang.livejournal.com]

Appropriate and awesome Revan icon is both appropriate and awesome. :)

And I heartily approve of a Revan/Exile snark war! :D

*sigh* the concept is too cutting edge, I guess, too imaginative... so some ole MMORPG has to do.

Yeah. *Sighs* LucasArts sucks. :P

[darth-eldritch.livejournal.com]

Thank you!!!

Thanks! I have some snark between the two of them in scraps somewhere. It's funny. Oh, look, it's the Great Revan...

*sigh* It just all around sucks.

[ladyhadhafang.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. :)

Oh, do post the dialogue when you have the time! :D I'd like to see it. :)

And yeah...*this*. :(

[darth-eldritch.livejournal.com]

I just thought of an idea for a game mod for KOTOR 1. Run around in a Nihilus skin! (you look just like Nihilus, that is)

[ladyhadhafang.livejournal.com]

That would rock so hard. :3

[darth-eldritch.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Then in KOTOR II you look like Malak!

[ladyhadhafang.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. :)

Okay, that would be *doubly* awesome. XD

[darth-eldritch.livejournal.com]

Thanks!!!

LOL, sorry, but I'm laughing at Carth and at how upset he gets all the time, jerking his pistols around. (is playing kotor now). Carth is accusing my character after the BIG REVEAL...

[ladyhadhafang.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. :)

Ah, blaster pistol waving. How we love thee. ^^

[darth-eldritch.livejournal.com]

That pistol wavng so calls for a gif if I could get screencaps!

[ladyhadhafang.livejournal.com]

Maybe you could get Fraps or something? #Thinking.

And yeah, that would be cool. Seriously. ^^

[darth-eldritch.livejournal.com]

What's fraps?

[ladyhadhafang.livejournal.com]

Recording software that can record your videogame playing. :) #I believe. :) Just Google it. ^^

[trialia]

LotR? :)

[ladyhadhafang.livejournal.com]

Hey! :D *Hugs* ^^


- 3 favourite relationships in LOTR:

1. Theoden + Eowyn

2. Frodo + Sam

3. Aragorn/Arwen





- 3 favourite characters:

1. Arwen

2. Boromir

3. Frodo



- 3 of my favourite moments:

1. Eowyn slaying the Witch King.

2. Boromir's last stand.

3. The Gray Havens. *Sniffles*



- 3 reasons I like/love LOTR:

1. The writing.

2. The settings.

3. The emotion.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_nisa_/]

Star Wars? :)

[ladyhadhafang.livejournal.com]

First off, permission to say I love your icon? Seriously. :)

- 3 favourite relationships:

1. Anakin/Padme

2. Vader + Luke

3. Anakin + Obi-Wan



- 3 favourite characters:


1. Anakin Skywalker.

2. Padme Amidala

3. Shmi Skywalker





- 3 of my favourite moments:

1. Any time C-3PO and R2-D2 are on screen.

2. Vader's redemption at the end of ROTJ. *Sniffles*

3. The "hold me" scene from REVENGE OF THE SITH. I know some people complained about the scene -- more like the dialogue. :) -- and TV Tropes even put it under Narm, but I personally think it was effective. I think Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman managed to sell the scene pretty well, for one thing, and another thing is just what it represents: a moment of peace and bliss while everything the Republic's stood for is basically crashing around their ears. (Hell, I may be one of the few STAR WARS fans who thought that they worked really well together. :) And this image really sums it up (originally from Moons Of Iego. :):



It's just such a quiet, tender moment. The two of them really did deserve better than...what happened in the end. :(

- 3 reasons I like/love STAR WARS:

1. The humor.

2. The fact that the action scenes are unbelievably awesome and win, and yet Lucas also knows when to make it quiet and calm. Very similar to Peter Jackson with the LORD OF THE RINGS movies, IMHO. :)

3. The story of Anakin Skywalker. I don't care what, say, the Spoony One says, the fall of Anakin Skywalker may be one of the most human, well-thought-out, heartbreaking, chilling, and utterly captivating stories I've ever read or watched. And honestly? I think Hayden Christensen was the only Anakin, really. :) I don't think anyone else could have played Anakin's strength, sensitivity, and yet vulnerability as well as he did. :)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_nisa_/]

Thank you :)

I support Vader - Luke, Anakin - Obi-Wan as favorite relationships; Anakin and Shmi are among my favorite characters, too; Vader's redemption is definitely the moment that stands out above all the rest; for me, too, Star Wars is Anakin's story and I think that no one could have played him better than Hayden did :)

[ladyhadhafang.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome. :)

Oh, that's really awesome! :D And *this*, so very much. :) I mean, I've heard of a lot of people off LJ who complained about Vader being "pussified" in the prequels, but I think they miss the point that Vader used to be a good man. :) A loving husband, a devoted Knight, a good friend...just all these wonderful qualities. I think they were just so used to seeing him as Vader that they almost didn't *want* to think of him as anyone other than...well, Vader. But the STAR WARS Saga really is Anakin's story. :)

[girlofavalon.livejournal.com]

I think they miss the point that Vader used to be a good man.

*THIS*, seriously.

[ladyhadhafang.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :)

Personally, I don't think it helps that the Spoony One's a raving douchebag -- at least at times -- but that's neither here nor there.
