Just like in Warhammer, the most advanced and efficient form of combat in the lasergun-future is melee. Now who would win, The Emperor or the Imperator? A Jedi or a Space marine Librarian? C3PO+R2D2 vs. Servitor? Totally serious answers only.

My brain literally did not accept it until someone told me and then the second movie pretty much said it outright. Anankin's mom says more or less "There is no father" and even at age 12 I thought she just meant the guy that knocked her up just up and left her to raise Anakin on her own.

ThePutty posted:it was probably something like that, yeah. i found the best mod was by those german steiner guys, at least back then it seemed pretty awesome No the best mod is and always will be Absolute Corruption 2.4. It "fixes" ground combat by providing you with multiple fuckoff troops that can kill entire maps from your spawn point if you don't feel like slogging it out. I always loaded up a ton of ATAT MK2s and Dark Troopers and let them go to town. Those german guys were Nomada Firefox, right?

blowfish posted:If that's the same mod I remember then yeah, moving the super star destroyer (the length of half the map) meant right clicking the opposite side of the map half ten to make it crawl in that direction. Oh and it came with a whole support fleet of cruisers and frigates instead of fighter wings so dropping the thing was an I Win button even if you didn't bother to use it and just swamped the map with the ridiculous amounts of free spaceships it came with. You're not building a balanced mission around a 17.6km warship, no matter how good the engine is--it's either going to be an I Win button or an under-gunned piece of poo poo. You'd need a game on a much, much larger scale than a space fighter sim. blowfish posted:Obviously (Wookiepedia delivers). It is as dumb and convoluted as you'd expect. But in Episode IV the Force was perfectly balanced. Two Jedi, two Sith.  All those random Jedi survivors and bullshit secret apprentices and Emperor's Hands and Jerec can all go gently caress themselves. Robo Reagan posted:Coruscant suffered basically no change even though huge battles were going on in it's orbit. I mean, you'd think the place would start looking a bit shabby after a few orbital bombardments but I guess the droids were only programmed to shoot at clones + lucas was a bad writer Giant gently caress-off spaceships falling from the sky can't be good for property values (neither can missing your target). RentACop posted:I actually think what bugs me most about the EU is retroactively assigning jedi character classes from KOTOR to people, and everything to do with lightsaber styles No, no, you see, Luke Skywalker swinging the lightsaber like a baseball bat is actually a classic example of the Wailing Jizz-Box form and not because Mark Hamill doesn't know anything about swordfighting because  Christopher Lee was the only one who had any idea what he was doing (notice how economical he is and how little he dicks around with stupid flourishes) and apparently "knowing your way around a sword" is itself a special lightsaber style that is perfectly balanced against the other styles using a bunch of arbitrary strengths and weaknesses.

It's like the EU writers tried to make sense of the inherently flawed logic of an insane person by just being even crazier, as if somehow out-crazying Lucas would make it all make sense in a convoluted, schizophrenic sort of way. Are we sure Lucas isn't actually just Henry Darger reincarnated?

And the storyline was the only one that actually had even superficial changes based on what you did which was pretty cool since you could side with the sith conspiracy. i mean it didn't actively hate the force like KOTOR 2 but I'd still say it wasn't star warsy at all since I was killing jedi left and right and didn't have any force powers or mandalorian creed. it's like something from a scrapped Bioware spy RPG.

Dunno why they even bothered making an MMO though; there's only like 5 MMOs that have ever been successful (Everquest, WoW, EVE, Guild Wars, and FF XIV: ARR).

Did he really? I'm never quite sure how much Lucas actually pays attention to the EU. Does he just sit counting money, leaving the EU to its own devices making convoluted backstories to characters he created solely to be weird rubber mask people or hirrarious racial stereotypes, but then if he hears down the grapevine that somebody is trying to inject nuance into the cosmology he flips his poo poo and comes down to veto it? Is there a source showing his explicit dislike of Kotor II. Seeing him write that he's annoyed by it would further cement it as my favorite star wars thing. Edit: and now he's just 100% retired and cannot influence one iota of the setting?
