Therefore, your "opinion" that everyone has to be a Jedi to enjoy/play the game is irrelevent and wrong in regards to the game being talked about here.
no no no :)
It's about people complaining before the game is even out - with jedis being overpowered :) -
They're well... demi gods nearly by well... their connection to the force - of course they are over powered... they are supposed to be? ^_^.
and yes, I still play kotor regularly - you simply can't beat torturing people - and playing very evil mind tricks on them :D - *join de darkside, we've got cookies*
May I ALSO remind you that:
Lord vader throws entire parts of the deathstar at luke - stops laser shots with his hand - can read mind (hence predict attacks if needs be) -
Yoda lifts an xwing - palpatine throw several part of the senate at yoda - force lightening, force choke -
I mean, during the GCW - sith and jedi have already lost/forgot a LOt of their knowledge and teachings - even in the kotor area, I think kreia even says the jedis from that time are but babies playing with lightsabers Vs the Previous Sith Lords (which I interpret as the force being even "worse" and far more powerfull than what most people know) -
Palpatine even mention his former's master ability to make life/prolonge life - Seriously, how can normal people with guns stand up to them? ^_^
I say make the jedi what they are - a 1 man/twilek/whatever army as they should be! :D
that is one of the things that made kotor special with the superb storylines - the fact you knew whoever you were facing stood no chance against you - even if you were alone :D - isn't it truly enjoyable to mass slaughter everyone and everything in the star forge? :D - overpowered jedi FTW! :D

So why would other classes have to affect Jedi skills or abilities because some people want to play other classes which are only there to support the main character in the first place? (ie: basically get skills the main character has no interest in, so they can lock pick and so on, while you can focus on combat or whatever...)
this part makes no sense... Have you had a job before?
sorry, english is my second language ^_^ - I'll try to explain what I meant better -
In the kotor / Tor games, jedis were pretty much gods to anyone else (I believe both carth and his "clone" in kotor 2 even said something like this) -
But basically, the way the two kotor games were made truly felt like the other characters were only there for side quests, and being used as "levelling up skills dump" -
For example, instead of trying to put points in all skills, you could litterally pick a couple of party characters, and give them specific jobs - like lockpicking, stealth runners, long range, hackers and so on - while you could concentrate on boosting only the skills you needed to develop well... whatever fit the style you wanted to play :) -
- and yes, I've been working (at least showing up to my place of work... most of the time) for the past 12 years :P -
My comment there was related to people wanting to play other things than jedis/siths - In my opinion (and there's no need to flame, it's just an opinion :) ), if people don't want to see/play jedis, maybe starwars is not really for them?
Maybe they can play a nice wookie or ewok game - so they can be free to use blasters and throw rocks at people :D
and now COFFEE! :D
For those complaining about jedi/siths running around - that's pretty much what kotor and it's era is about?
you don't play the old republic era to be a commando - or a medic :S - you play it to be well.. a JEDI?
I mean whoever played kotor1 and always stuck to blasters / pikes / melee weapon, has some serious issues - the whole storyline is about you being either a jedi or the Dark lord of the siths :S
It'd be natural to assume a game based in that era - developped by the company who made the first one - to be also aimed at jedi and sith?
The site itself focus mainly on the JEDI/SITH battle - I mean - If I could, I'd make it force sensitive classes ONLY - (ie: pick either guardian sentinel etc... and off you go...)
Yes we KNOW people with blasters (unless they're like fett and a couple of other "heroes") can't be a match to a jedi .. that's WHY we're playing them in the first place?
I mean if you play to loose and whine about it - maybe you should try something else.. if you REALLy want to be a commando, there's an actual GAME for it? (no no I mean seriously... they did make republic commando .. yes yes yes!) - Well I wanted to play it as a JEDI - what do you mean it's a commando orientated game? but it's in starwars.. I want lightsabers! -
So why would other classes have to affect Jedi skills or abilities because some people want to play other classes which are only there to support the main character in the first place? (ie: basically get skills the main character has no interest in, so they can lock pick and so on, while you can focus on combat or whatever...)
Granted, for SWG jedi's as a starting profession was a bad idea - in THAT era it was just wrong - but back in the old republic, you could find a force sensitive at every corners of every street :D (well during raven's time, there was a bit of a ... downtime - granted :D )
Anyway, first, bioware makes it - yes mass effect was buggy... and why? it was a console port - every console port always ends up being buggy or terrible - end of -
But so far they YET have to release a TERRIBLE title - I do hope this will not be it - I trust in their deep storyline experience, and choices in the games - this is what truly made kotor and their other games special... and EXCELLENT storyline , and in most cases, you could choose what was going to happen - you could make your own good or evil choices (a couple of layers in between would be nice too though - wouldn't mind not being either horribly good, or horribly evil - :D )
Only thing I regret is being so far behind kotor, guess we won't get the opportunity to /slap bastilla for being such a whiny b***h :)
