Obsidian: "We Would So Love To" Make KOTOR 3

Uhh, YES

Yes.


This is not spiced ham.

Please God. For those of us that do not own a PC this has to happen.

Would they actually finish the game this time?

Assuming the publisher doesn't jump the publication date on them like last time? Sure.

I noticed now there is a KOTOR 2 pack out so maybe they might be thinking about allowing a KOTOR 3 to go along with that and SWTOR?!

Would be awesome!

Yes!!!! I vow, from this day forward, to kick everyone who calls SW:TOR "basically KOTOR 3" in the junk. I'll stop when KOTOR 3 actually comes out.

Good luck my tiny high kicking friend, and god speed.

I remember how rushed kotor 2 ended up being. Id still be interested in a kotor 3

Question: would a BioWare PRG follow-up to the KOTOR series have been more profitable to EA than SWTOR? I think so....and I promise it would not have gone FTP. From all the people I hear begging for KOTOR, I am shocked no developer or publisher is on this. Instead we get Star Wars 1313, because playing as a bounty hunter is more "relatable".

If Obsidian did make KOTOR 3 they need to give them alot of time to do it. Kotor 2 was rushed out the door and i remember it was a damn fun game, but when i read all the cut content i was amazed at how much better the game could have been. Right now IMO KOTOR 1 is a bit better than 2, but 2 would have killed Kotor 1 if all the stuff would have been in.

Also i dont get why LucasArts if making 1313 instead of Battlefront 3 or KOTOR 3. It just seems they are content to let those popular series die

You don't need to give them more time, LucasArts just needs to actually give them the amount of time they promise at the outset. KOTOR2 was pushed up many months by LucasArts to make a holiday release date.

Obsidian games that I played that were bugged to all hell:
KOTOR 2
Alpha Protocol
Fallout: New Vegas

Obsidian game that I have played:
KOTOR 2
Alpha Protocol
Fallout: New Vegas

Here's the thing: I even though they weren't the original, New Vegas and KOTOR 2 had some pretty great ideas, and I'd call Alpha Protocol a game that, while not great, is one of the few games out there actually worth playing, because it is pretty unique. But they really need to work on QA; I bought New Vegas only a few months after it was released, and quit in rage from the bugginess. It wasn't until a year later that it had been patched up to the point that I could see what a great game it is.

Considering Obsidian is able to constantly write some of the best RPGs, KotOR 2 being one of them, but end up shafted in the end and being forced to cut content to meet deadlines, as well as not being able to do proper bug testing, I'd say a full on KotOR 3 done by them without any ridiculous deadlines would be amazing.

But that won't happen, because not only did TOR retcon half of KotOR 2, but with how much George Lucas hated KotOR 2 he would never allow it to happen. And that's saying nothing about the current owners of the franchise license.

Chris Avellone drove a wheat thresher across Star Wars' fictional metaphysics. The result is that no one hearing of it can take Star Wars seriously. In the end, the person who wanted to kill the force was arguably the real hero of the story.

I want to know where the hell Revan went and how he/she got back from going off into nowhere in the first one to his appearance in SWTOR. Lets cover that story. Yes.

You mean HER appearance, right?

Read the books and play through TOR a little more. Revan went to the Unknown Regions to confront the Emperor, was bound by the Emperor in a stasis for 300 years, all the while attacking the Emperor's mind, until he finally escaped and headed to the Foundry to prepare a droid army to annihilate the Emperor and the true Sith species. You confront him in a flashpoint in TOR and kill him (in a very anticlimactic way :-/ )

I want this game to be created!

I'm ok with this.

I would love to see it, and as everyone else has said, Obsidian would undoubtedly do a fantastic job, provided they were given ample time to actually finish the game before releasing it.

However, I don't see it happening. TOR has embedded itself within this beloved storyline, and if the dreaded prequels taught us anything, it's that the Star Wars franchise doesn't acknowledge its own mistakes... much less correct them.

I gotta be honest, I thought KOTOR2 was vastly inferior to the original. And that's saying something considering that they improved the combat, which is like, the whole game. But the environments were poorly designed, the characters were weak compared to the original, and the story was just depressing. But their biggest sin was that they removed all the JEDI. Seriously, who does that?

Although to be honest, a handicapped monkey could make KOTOR3 out of his own feces, and I would be first in line with my money. As long as it's not an MMO.

Actually, there are more Jedi available for your team than in KotOR 2. Out of 11 possible teammates there are 6 Jedi, since four of them are able to get Jedi powers when you get high or low enough influence with them. Or you could make them Sith, if you'd rather.

Due to timing though you don't really have enough time to flesh everyone out because once you pick up your last character BAM Endgame time... I was pissed...

Replay value :)

no replay value... it is impossible to get him before that... I'm fairly certain that I read about this mission being incomplete... just frustrating over and over...

There is no Jedi council left, the sith characters are MIA most of the game, and you don't get a lightsaber until halfway through the freakin game.

To be fair, what games pre-prequels had more than one Jedi in them? Hell, which of the original movies had more than one Jedi in them? I mean, part of the point of KotOR 2 is it's a complete deconstruction of the Jedi as the super great, always good, never wrong beings that Lucas has them as.

It's presenting the Jedi as near extinction, much like in the original trilogy, but in this case it presents both the Jedi and Sith as flawed and really much more human. And if it just threw Jedi at you throughout the whole game, how could it accomplish this?

KotOR to KotOR 2 is basically like going from 50's Batman straight to Dark Knight Returns.

SWTOR was KOTOR III for me. Played it entirely single player for the story, which was fantastic. Totally fine with them making another KOTOR though.

FUCK YES! PLEASE MAKE IT!

Don't you think its strange how Bioware always rushes the second game in a franchise? the exact same thing happened with the DA series. only thing is, DA is getting a third game. GIVE KOTOR EQUAL RIGHTS!

i'm not sure i care which they do but, i know my computer isn't powerful enough to play kotor2 on it let alone the old republic. i'd be happy having either the old republic or kotor3 on my 360.

Absolutely!
At its very heart, SwTOR is an MMO; it could never be a direct sequel to KoTOR II. It lacks the story development that a true single player MMO would have. Its true that, for an MMO, the story was impressive. But compared to a game like, say Mass Effect, it doesn't begin to compare. MMOs are mainly set up so that the player levels up, gets better gear, beats stronger bosses, levels up, gets better gear, beats stronger bosses, ad infinitum. Players are like donkeys chasing carrots; unfortunately, when the player actually gets the carrot, he leaves. An MMO player should never reach a point where he or she feels there is nothing more to accomplish; that's how the game goes out of business. Yet, in SwTOR, once the main story was completed, the only thing left to do was get better gear, beat stronger bosses, etc. The story evaporated at level 50, and, honestly, the character stories weren't very compelling either. Please, Obsidian, make a real KoTOR III. You're my only hope!!!!!

Great News!

For anyone that doesn't know, I just found out that Obsidian released a full content mod in July 2012 for Kotor II that... *gasp*... restored almost ALL the original content that was cut from the game and removed the bugs. So, players can play Kotor II as it was meant to be played! And the best part is, it only took eight years!

It's called the Restoration Mod; here's the link:

Well, the link didn't post, but search "Kotor 2 Restoration Mod", you'll find it.

Sorry, this was not made by obsidian

yes a kotor III would be amazing and i would buy it first day it came out kotor has been my favorite game for my whole life it would be the best day in the world if they made the third for xbox 360 and ps3 and pc id buy it for all 3 obsidian really needs to make it and update there bug fixes srry guys lol

Agreed... I just don't want them to write the script lol. Obsidian gets an award for "most convoluted philosophy" with "echoes", and an award for "largest number of serious and boring supporting characters in a single game".

HELL YES!!!!! I have been waiting for a 3 for years!!!!!!!! just make sure it plays like the other two, I almost love the fact that it was kinda glitchy, added to the childhood memories :)

Absolutely!!!!! SWTOR nothing like KOTOR. The game play is not the same, the story is not as developed and overall just too different an experience. I am so stoked and hope they make KOTOR 3!!!!

I hope when they make it they add like an arena aspect where you could do battle with other people's characters and maybe have the possibility of co-op missions. Kinda take the best of the old republic and kotor 1&2.

Just look at how amazing the Mass Effect series turned out, if they do an equal or better job on KOTOR 3 then it would probably be Game of The F***ING Century!

"they" being Bioware, obviously

Absolutly yes! SWTOR really sucks ass in comparison to KOTOR.
Also a remake of those two old sequels of KOTOR would be veeeery nice :)

Honestly, I'd much rather they give the series back to BioWare. As good as Obsidian is, they tend to release games with more bugs. I understand that dates get changed and stuff, but that happens to every developer. Besides, I find that BioWare writes better content. KotOR's story was great. KotOR II's was a bit confusing and it didn't draw me in as much as the first. TOR's story was decent as well, but I think my biggest issue with that was that it was an MMO and I just wasn't willing to get to involved with it. So if BioWare was to make a full fledged single player KotOR III, I'd be more than happy to buy it.

No, why the hell would anyone want that? . . . . Juuust kidding, I created an account just so I could add my comment to this forum! **** YEAH OBSIDIAN, MAKE KOTOR 3!!! (The True One)

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MAKE KOTOR FUCK THAT MMO BULLSHIT ITS GARBAGE

Please for the love of God make a kotor 3.

Made this account just the voice my opinion that Kotor 3 should definitely happen and Obsidian will kill it given enough time or at least a non fluctuating amount of time.YES

Please, you mustn't make it. I'm too young to die of a crisis of joy...
Seriously, I made this account just because I hope that maybe, one "YES" more could change the choice of Obsidian, and make you make a Kotor 3, it would be the most amazing thing that could happen in this sad world :)

I just made this account to join the "Game Revolution" are chant:
MAKE KOTOR 3!!!
