Sounds like a fun game indeed!

Obviously they haven't met me. Then again, I am crazy to the point that the game is too recent for me.

That explains everything! I for one consider this now canon and shall demand Lucas to insert digital Shamblers into the next Star Wars release. Gotta love when I am reading a Star Wars module talking about pirates on the outer rim, when suddenly it gets revealed the main character is FORCE SENSITIVE. Nobody could have this coming!

See, I like simplicity. The open aspect nature, the simple nature of you just loading up a level and fighting a bunch of enemies, it made for fun times. It was quite nice to see how many you could kill. While I usually could kill a lot, it was always nice to try to beat my personal scores :P

Oh, the flying parts in general I was horrible at. I never actually beat another starfighter in combat in Battlefront 1. Battlefront 2 has automatic lock-ons I think that helped with that, plus space has a lot less to crash into. I never could pilot a snowspeeder, I just would crash into a random Stormtrooper. Hey, I killed somebody!

Indeed, I wish to work my way there as well. In time I shall.

No to Shadows of the Empire. Many of the games from the turn of the century period were what I grew up with. Essentially my mother would download a lot of games, which were in horrible states and always missing something, plus never could be patched. Regardless, I got to play many games from that time period that I still hold nostalgia for. Thief 2 was easily my most played, but I had quite a few games from this era I enjoyed. Only game I got after 2001-ish was Doom 3, which my computer couldn't really handle. Then I started playing Thief Gold, which if I am correct came on Amazon with KOTOR and Empire at War (didn't really like the latter, preferred Galactic Battlegrounds). Plus I also got Republic Commando during that time frame, which as I said was the end of PC due to my mother using it a lot more. So I jumped on my PS2, playing some mid-2000s games. I had a relatively decent collection, 20-30 titles. Battlefront/Battlefront II was easily my favorite of the lot.

I decided to try to grit my teeth and read the second edition version. I realized the lore is probably the exact same, just the subtle rules would be different, and my memory makes it so the rules are pretty forgettable. You are asking the wrong person to remember DnD stat numbers or to-hit chances. I pick up on the lore a lot more than anything in these books.

In any event, read both Galaxy Guides today. Seven more to go (found out there were two more) and two of the nastiest already tackled. I'm determined to get to 1991 :P
