Dark Forces II Force Powers...

[Dark Ryder]

Is it me, or is Force Pull totally useless in single player mode? I have three stars put into it, and I have yet to pull anything toward me or disarm anyone. What am I doing wrong?

[Pedro The Hutt]

I dunno, never found it to be totally useless in single player, you sure you're within range of being able to use it? And also are you keeping the key you assigned to Force Pull pressed untill you got a lock on some opponent weilding a blaster you'd want?

[The Seeker]

You gotta hold down the Force Pull button until you see a blue cone recticle form over your target, then release the button and the weapon/object should come to you. The more stars you have, the farther away you can be when you pull their weapons.

[Coligeon]

Yes, exactly. You need to make sure you have assigned that force power to a key and then hold down the key until you see a blue circle over the character.

[Dark Ryder]

It would have been nice if THAT was in the manual...

[Dark Ryder]

You know, it's too bad Trail stopped working on his page, because as helpful as it is, the omissions are very anoying when you are stumped.

For example, I spent three hours last night trying to find a secret area on level 8 based on the discription from his page, only to find out it was to the left of where I was instead of the right.

Now I'm on level 9 and the walkthrough simply says "open the blue door in the reactor room". No where in the walkthrough does he (or she) give us a hint of where the blue key might be.

I've been through the level twice now and still can't find it (though I'm having a blast disarming Stormtroopers with Force Pull and then hacking them to bits ), but I'm bored now. So where the heck is the stupid key I need.

And can anyone recomend a website that has a more complete FAQ/walkthrough?

[Pedro The Hutt]

Well there probably is one around somewhere, altough I personally prefer to complete the game without any help, makes it more of a challenge and more fun.

[Dark Ryder]

S'okay.

I found the key I was looking for.

I like walkthroughs and strategy guides. because I get bored or ticked off after a while.

Like The Falling Ship. I had to print that walkthrough out, because I was getting really, really ticked off.

It's a fun game for the most part. My problem is that sometimes it's hard to jump into certain areas (like the window on level 17) and that the design teams need to realize there are more colors in the spectrum than black. I mean my God! This is a beautifully rendered game graphics wise, but 75% of the environs are pitch black!

You'd think they'd want you to see their graphics!!!

[Pedro The Hutt]

hmm.. you could try turn the brightness level up a bit ^^"
And I didn't have that problem, that's one of my fave levels in the game, I found it fun to be running through all them tunnels, via either the walls or the ceiling or whatever side happened to be down.

In most games you usually need the brightness up quite far.......I remember Elite Force, that had to be way up otherwise everything was too dark.
