I'm just going to drop this nuke here and leave.

“This is something that is important and impactful,” says Treadwell. “Our big goals on this are to bring the story to a modern audience and have it be just as impactful today as it was for players when it originally launched.”

“We’ve been working really, really closely with Aspyr for a long time now to deconstruct what made KOTOR so great and bring that back to new audiences, because we want this game to be an incredible RPG,” says Kellogg. “We want this game to be just as beloved as it was before. Some of my favorite meetings to have in my week right now are to get into the nitty gritty with Aspyr and talk about, ‘Why did we make that choice in the original game and how does that play today? How do we expand that choice and make it even more meaningful and impactful?’ We think about, literally, every word of dialogue and [other choices] down to the clothes that the character is wearing.”

Well you still have the originals, they are available with all the mods etc.

I personally think that what thet're saying is good, but it wouldn't be the first time interviews before release, or even showing off the game, hyped up a game, ending later with people disappointed by the end result.

I'm not saying that'll be the case here, only that it'd be best to not get too hyped about this, before they'll show the game. 

I'd say in a vacuum, what I'm more skeptical about is the combat system, as I fear there are good chances they'll go full action with it. Hopefully I'll be proved wrong.

iirc you only can change the saber's colors between the original jedi ones. Mind you i haven't played the game after it's launch month.

Yep it does allow.

Personally, everything they say, has me worried. Nothing needs to be changed, nothing needs to be rewritten, or expanded, or clothes need to be changed. It just needs a fresh coat of paint and maybe do something about the gameplay. That's it.

They can do whatever they want, without me.

I just meant that by going for a remake, there were good chances you wouldn't be interested in it from the start. 

The word "deconstruct" to me is an issue, for at least the way I take the word they aren't going to be looking at the game as a whole which is a mistake many other games make now (I would say that was a problem with Andromeda as they deconstructed the first three games).  There are good examples like Resident Evil 2, there are "okay" examples like Resident Evil 3, and bad like Warcraft 3.  So who knows until the final product is released, but I doubt I will have any interest until I see the game released.

I'm open to some changes for a remake but I don't want it to feel like a completely different game. If they start restricting things like dialogue options and choices, eliminating LS/DS points, or significantly alter the main story and companions then I would have liked them just to make a brand new game. Actually, I probably would have preferred that over a remake anyway. Kotor 3 has been the game I've wanted for many many years, and no SWTOR did not accomplish that. Still, I'm excited until I see something that concerns me. Quotes at this point are relatively meaningless. Probably won't be able to tell much until gameplay is shown.

Things I definitely would like changed and would actually improve the game:
- Visuals (obviously)
- New character creator with modern features to change appearance
- Photo mode

Things I'm unsure about / depends on implementation:
- Voiced protagonist - fine as long as it doesn't cause them to restrict dialogue options (silent is also fine by me but I think they will go with voiced)
- Combat - again I think this will change but hopefully it doesn't go total action
- Romances - I guess these could be expanded upon but not really necessary

Things I don't want changed or changes kept to a minimum
- Main story
- Companions
- Dialogue options
- Choices
- LS/DS point system
- Skills / Abilities - I fear some of these will be removed and dumbed down - If they want to add more that's ok
- Protagonist (outside of things I've mentioned above)
