This was the cover story of the last EGM. It's got a ton of screenshots, and interview, and more details. Check it out!
I'm definitely stoked for this game.

I'm sure it will be different enough to keep it interesting! Especially with the plural "Sith Lords"Neo said:Looking forward to KOTOR 2 immensely, the first was beautiful.
Little bit miffed they're going for another amnesia storyline.. but so long as they do as good a job with the story as they did on the first ill be happy
I've got to say the second amnesia storyline is what scares me the most about KotOR 2. It looks like they're taking care of many of the flaws in the original, most notably that you can affect everyone's light/dark status, not just your lead character's. In the first game, pretty much everyone except T3 had buttons you should have been able to push.
I'm not hopeful that they'll address a minor logical problem of large party dynamics -- I think in an RPG where you can't switch characters in combat, but you have more characters that you can use at once, it doesn't make sense that 2/3 of your group will always hang out in the ship playing Pazaak. But FFVI is the only game that's handled that problem reasonably well, in my experience.

I've been waiting since Obsidian formed to hear what they're working on. They got alot of my favorite developers there...alot of very talented rpg focused developers. The people there are repsonsible for my favorite rpgs.
When I first heard that they canned Bioware as the developers...I was worried. Afterall, KOTOR was the only thing from Bioware that I really liked. But then I hear about Obsidian, and I'm sold. I'm anticipating this game more than I did the original. It can only get better, in my opinion.

The thing that worries me most about the amnesia angle again is it pretty much confirms that the old cast aren't going to be there e.g Revan and Bastilla... I was kinda hoping future games would carry on their story so we could see if they made it through the purge or not and if so what roles they played during the clone wars, rebellion etc.. making the whole series an Epic.
However having just looked at the Concept art on the website it looks as if the only character so far whose going to be making it to this new game is T3 and the Ebon Hawk... so I hope they fill in the blanks as to what happened to everyone else.. call me a softy but I was kinda hoping Revan and Bastilla got to keep their happy ending
The concept art seems to indicate the main character is aimed at a female character this time as the image flashes between a female white haired jedi and a female sith lord whose facial contours match hers (the whole lgiht and dark indication again...).
worries aside I guess I am fairly intrigued to see where go with it
Even if everyone in the party long as Yoda lived, survived to Clone Wars they would not. KotOR takes place about 4000 years before Episode I.Neo said:
Besides, it's darn near impossible to be much below level 20 when you finish KotOR, and video games just aren't suited for Epic-level play.
Well, evil male Revan & evil Bastilla can have happy ending, good male Revan and good Bastilla can have a happy ending, and good female Revan & Carth can have a happy ending, but I think evil female Revan ends up a loner.Neo said:However having just looked at the Concept art on the website it looks as if the only character so far whose going to be making it to this new game is T3 and the Ebon Hawk... so I hope they fill in the blanks as to what happened to everyone else.. call me a softy but I was kinda hoping Revan and Bastilla got to keep their happy ending

Well they could be force spirits, they can leave little parts of themselves in the form of holocron personalities etc..
But (and apologies for not being very clear), I'm wanting to see what impact their actions storywise have on how the star wars universe turns out. Did Revan and Bastilla and companions get remembered, did they do anything else of significance, or did they just disappear into obscurity during the purge?
Do their actions impact in anyway that led to how things unravelled in Episodes 1-6 (besides the obvious, well the sith didnt win <g>).
I want to know what Butterfly effects they had.
If the new game had unfolded with the existing PC's maybe an odd new one here ro there it would have been easier to follow thier epic and see how they impacted on those things, but with cameo appearances it seems a little bit like Yeah Luke destroyed the Death Star but instead of his story unfolding more in Empire strikes back we instead switch the story direction to Lando instead.. if you see what I mean.
I just dont want all that excellent story telling in the first game to be brushed aside for something entirely new and fresh that takes everything in a different direction, when they did such a good job of taking it to where it was anyway.
