All your decisions have brought you to this point." "And if you find you cannot trust me, trust in your training. It’s kind of like when you’ve been shoe shopping with a girl at the mall all day after a while you just want to sit down and not move.
whatever answers the Council have are for you alone."Īlright well, go ahead and sit there then. As my old English teacher said, “Don’t tell it. They wanted to communicate how completely ancient Kreia really is, something she had been hiding up to this point so they pulled the camera way back to emphasize her frailty. They did a lot of custom camera and animation work during this sequence to achieve a different effect. The close-up, where we can only see their faces as they’re talking, and the midrange shot where we can see to their waist. I bring this up because KOTOR basically has two standard camera angles that the game switches between in conversations. When the rest of their body is shown, we stop paying attention to their cerebral qualities and what they’re saying, and instead we focus on their physicality. When only a person’s face (nothing below the chin) is shown, it emphasizes personality-related attributes like intelligence and ambition. Psychology work done in the 70’s found that in photographs, the amount of a person’s face shown in ratio to the rest their body completely changes our perception of the person. Have you ever heard of the term ‘Face-ism Ratio’? It’s like the White Tree of Gondor from Lord of the Rings. You can still see the dead black stump of it there, but right beside it, two new trees have sprouted up. The symbolism is in the trees – before Malak bombed the place, there use to one of those big trees growing in the centre of the courtyard. If you pay close enough attention, it’s one of the first moments in the game when you see a glimmer of hope amidst all the depressiveness. You’ll see it in the video, but the camera does a slow pan around the centre of the Enclave it’s one of those moments you had to have played KOTOR 1 to appreciate, having been in the place during its heyday.
With everything rebuilt, we can enter the upper levels of the building again. Well, the mortar holes are still there, but at least it looks like someone shelled out for a drywall crew to come around. It’s time to bring Act II to a close then.Īs we turn the corner, we see the Jedi Enclave has been miraculously rebuilt. Screenshots are a nice medium, but this time the custom camera work and the voice acting makes it worth watching.
First off, here’s the video of the whole update: This is the big payoff for all the restraint. No seriously, if we didn’t save them, this update would have been much different. Part 47: Dantooine - I'm Glad You All Voted to Save the Jedi Masters
