On Nal Shadar, while rescuing the Jedi there... 'squid' is slang for the guy's species. He's the Exchange boss for the planet.

KOTOR has tempted me many times to get an XBox.  I cant justify it though.  Right now hooked up i have SNES, GC, PS1, PS2; ready to be hooked up in a few mins,  SMS (Sega Master System), Genesis.  Handheld 1 GBA:SP, 1 GBA.  Random Game Gear somewhere.

Beyond KOTOR, and Halo (which i have no interest in); i dont know any Xbox games

KOTOR is a PC game too ya know. I'd say better on the PC, but thats just me.

And I know what you mean now. Nar Shaddah is ridiculously bug ridden.

Somehow i dont think KOTOR will play on a 833mhz Duron 256meg ram w/ onboard shared memory video ;)

I dont have access to a gaming rig - and probably wont be able to afford to get a gaming rig - even a bargain one for the forseeable future.  Changing jobs 2x in the past 3 months, and moving in August + bills/rent cuts out any mid-large ticket pricing.

Especially since there's only a couple games im interested for PC besides SFC2/OP. C&C Red Alert 2 etc, CivIII, KOTOR, EV:Nova.  (Ok, i might be able to play EV:Nova on this pc.  I'd still rather play it on a Mac Mini or IBook.

Actually, I'd venture that Carney's talking about the difficulty, not the bugs, since I too forgot to rank fair Mira's stealth score up and paid the price in frustration.  Possibly the most difficult sequence in the game if you can't sneak through it.

I just blasted through it. That's just my style though. Didn't have any major troubles, just make sure you save after every 'engagement' in case you need to reload. I know i did a few times.

Ah, that's not that fun for me.  I tend to get sucked into the storyline and keep playing until I die then realize it's been two hours since I saved. 

There are obvious downsides to this method, though it DOES make me appreciate any game that frequently auto-saves.

I meant just that one sequence. I usually try and not blast everything in sight actually, but i was just so PO'ed at that whole set up I kinda locked and loaded.

Grenades and mines are wonderful things, espescially with Mira's ability to shoot grenades at enemies and walk through mines.

Stealth? What stealth?

Wy fight?

When you are outnumbered, just sneak. I even did it with the Jedi PC on the way to the squid.

And I guess that I'm just the opposite- I tend to kill EVERYTHING that is evil (though no innocents). I wiped out everyone in the bar, and every Serco thug. The only reason that I didn't kill all the Exchange the first time is that you can't.

I just realized that it would take eery medpack in my inventory to get that girl through it fighting without a Force-user in the party heal her, so I played conservatively and kept my stuff.

Yeah, I did end up using a lot of the mines I'd retrieved on that one.  Made things a lot easier though I still wish I'd made her a little sneakier when I levelled her up.  Love that little wrist launcher, too.  Those Ubese guards aren't nearly so formidable once you tranquilize them.

I hereby officially curse every one of you to a 386 based computer for a month.  Went to load KOTOR.  Only one teensy problem.  By scrimping on my vid card (being poor sucks), I don't have adequate support.  So, those vile, smelly Jedi are safe for two more weeks.
   Then they all get vasecomies!!!  MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Could depend on your drivers. Are you using an ATi card? Their drivers are quick picky, but I do have a solution.

That's my system specks.  I quite honestly believe my system just needs a good video card.  Nothing more.

Indeed I am forced to agree. Depending on the money you want to spend, I would recommend a 96 or 9800xt with 256mb of RAM (those are both mid range for right this moment)

For upperclass, go for the Nvidia 66/6800's. Excellent cards. Kinda pricey though.

Heh.  I am looking at the 9250 sapphire right now.  I'll update it later, as I know I'll need to.
