Jonric from RPG Vault sits down with lead designer Chris Avellone and producers Chris Parker and Mike Gallo for an interview about KOTOR 2. Jonric asks about the main PC, the different locations in the game, and much more!

While we appreciate all of our fans and their participation on these boards, recently there have been a number of posts which insult the moderators and/or employees of fellow game companies which we do not feel are appropriate. We've worked with many people at many game companies over the years, and it is not within the spirit of our forums to allow disrespectful posts about other company's policies, employees, or moderators. It's OK to say you don't like a game, but referring to another company's employees as "weenies" or flatly saying another company "sucks" will simply not be tolerated here. Posts in the future which intentionally attack another game company and/or it's employees will be deleted. Thank you for assistance, The Guildmaster

So am I...

I hate having to refer to the forum FAQ, but I have to in this case. Based on our contracts, we can't say anything until our publishers give the OK... All I can say is soon, VERY soon! TG

Quick answer: Ignore button is coming to our boards soon! No-so-quick answer: Once our board software is RTM, we'll be upgrading. Unfortunately that doesn't look to be true until the summer sometime. For those of you receiving offensive PM's of concern, please report them - PM's follow the same content rules as posts when it comes to discriminatory or antagonistic messages.

Boy that's harsh, but I suppose deserving. Why they've been up for so long is that we're continuing to look for people while we sign up our next project. Hopefully the jobs page will be thinning down very soon

Give it a shot again and let me know if it still happens. Thanks, GM

No - due to a complex set of "technical issues" with our web hosting company, they weren't able to restore the latest backup. Needless to say, we will be taking a whole series of "proactive" steps on our end from now on so that doesn't get a chance to happen again.

Our forums are now back online. Unfortunately during the migration to our new web server, our web hosting provider was not able to restore the latest state of our forum database, so you may notice some recent posts and replies missing. We apologize for this inconvenience and assure you that steps will be taken on our end to prevent any further outages. Thanks for your patience and understanding. GM

Obsidian Entertainment is now using a new codenaming format for it's internal projects. Project X has now been officially renamed to the Delaware Project or Project Delaware if you prefer. GM

We're hiring once again for artists, designers and programmers! Please check out our Jobs page if you're interested in applying. Please also check out our Resume Submission Tips to help your submission stand out!

Hello everyone, Over the past several days, we've "employed" the help of three moderators to help keep the boards up and running and I would like to introduce them to you should you need their assistance. You can always view this list by clicking the link entitled, "The moderating team" in the Board Statistics section on the forums home page. THE TEAM Antimatter - Antimatter can assist you on any forum. Fionavar - Fionavar joins us from the old Black Isle boards, and can assist you on any forum. Hydrogen - Hydrogen can also assist you on any forum. Phosphor - Phosphor is our newest mod, and is primarily in charge of the NWN2 and Banter forums. The Guildmaster - I am the administrator of the boards. If you encounter problems with your account, bugs, broken links, error messages, oddly colored items, or other technical related issues, please send a PM to me. Thanks, GM

Over the past several days, if you attempted to send a PM or e-mail to the devs or myself, a problem with the web server was causing the e-mail to be dropped, and you may have received a bounce message. This problem has been corrected and e-mail sent to us should now work properly. Thanks, GM

It's actually only been open for two days, both of which were on a weekend. Most of the team didn't even know I finished putting up the boards until I told them this afternoon. I know Feargus has already starting posted, I suspect others will soon. How about giving us more than two days before judging so quickly

It wasn't supposed to be there. It's been removed.

No, this is a temporary name only.
