    I wish you could have a lightsabre in Neverwinter Nights. My flaming rapier will have to do for now.

    I'm sure that, before long, someone will come along and provide us a technical explanation for the different lightsabre colours . . . . . .

    Of the colors listed, probably red. Given my choice though, probably silver.

    Silver rocks :D

    As it is, the explanation is wuite simple; namely, different gemstones used as the blade focus produce the color. For example, a silver lightsaber gets its color from a Durindfire gem.

    Ogh, and I want mine to be dual-phased :D

    Do the gems do anything different, or are they purely cosmetic, like a uniform?

    Not as far as I know; the relevance of gems is more traditiobn/acquiring-based; the reason why so many Jedi in the prequels have Green/blue lightsabers is, as far as I know, of a traditional caves where the gems were acquired.

    But, for example, the blade of Corran Horn'äs lightsaber is silver, with a durindfire gem, because that was the color ghis grandfather's saber was.

    It is more personal signifigance rather than technical.

    That and sheer coolness. I mean, what's more intimidating: A Jedi with a prissy purple lightsaber, or a badass Dark Jedi with a scary red lightsaber?

    I got red according to the test. But all my answers should have led me to being a good guy.

    Bah nonsense.

    Actually, CEP offers the possibility of creating lightsabres for your characters, so it's very possible for you to have one in NWN. ;)

    As for my lightsaber I would definently prefer red.

    From the quizilla test, I got purple: "You have a Purple Lightsaber. Purple is associated with wisdom, dignity, independence, creativity, mystery, and magic. Purple denotes high spirituality and religious aspiration. Purple also represents Peacefulness and Purification. It also has a sense of intuitive understanding and a feeling of intimacy with the world." Which is pretty cool, IMHO!

    But I'd probably choose blue, to match my Avatar ;)

    I picked Purple in the poll, but I got Yellow in the quiz:

    You've made a yellow Lightsaber. Yellow is the color of Honor and Loyalty. It symbolizes caution and foreboding in either direction of the blade, Meaning that the owner is relatively cautious...but also to be cautious of them. Since Yellow stands for both Honor and Cowardice, one should always think twice before attacking someone with a Yellow Saber.

    That quiz wouldn't work for me because I have never played any of the games listed there.

    I would probably go with two red lightsabres, though.
