That motherboard should support Intel's HD Audio, meaning that you can play KotOR 2 with Dolby Digital 5.1 sound

Excellent sig you got there

Unless you haven't taken a look at the choices, I think any info will still yield the same conclusion.... " <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Heh.

I refuse to give an answer until a list with every sith lord + their biography is posted.

Don't do that, sometimes pre-orders arrive later than it does in retail in Finland. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why pre-order when its already out? Just visit the store or ask your local retailer to put it on hold for you. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Pre-order should in theory make it possible to get the game in your mail the same date it's released in retail. In reality however, it's diffirent.

The PC-version seems to have sharper textures(high-res) than the xbox, hopefully the framerate will be more fluid too.

You're an enigma. You continue to bash the game over and over on the forums without giving any constructive critizism, i fail see a reason for you to keep posting.

For myself I think KotOR2 is as good as the first one (not better, stronger in some areas, weaker in others, similar end result tho): 1) Storyline: I found the storyline to be much more advanced then the first one. It had a more mature theme to it then KotOR1 had. As a older gamer, I grow tired of the simplistic storylines so appreciate when any game designer incorperates a more mature nature to the game (no im not talking about porn and swearing, neither of those mean mature imo). There were twists, intrige, betreyals, multiple romances, politics added into part 2s storyline. I really think its the better of the two storylines but for some reason didnt run as smoothly as part 1s (that might be because of all the extras involved in part 2s story). 2) Characters: I felt much closer to more characters in kotor2 then I did in part 1. I found myself thinking of them as actual characters rather then npc party members for the most part (exceptions being GOTO (which I totally hated) and Hanhaar). In part one I really was only interested in my character, Bastila, and Carth. None of the other characters managed to grab me and maintain my attention for the whole game! At the end of part 2, even tho Kreia tells you their futures, I fouynd myself wanting to know more about them and what happens. I just didnt have that feeling after part 1 in terms of characters. 3) far as the engine and all that, I really didnt notice a difference (other then new force powers) between 1 and 2. It was the actual story that hooked me this time around. KotOR1 was a awsome game and hooked me on Star Wars (altho that Repubic demo turned me totally and completely back off, gawd I hate mindless FPS's). At the end of one I just wanted to play more! It wasnt enough, I wanted more game. At the end of two (as I said above) I not only wanted to play more again, but I wanted to know what happens to each character!!! 4) and to be honest I prefered starting as a jedi in part2. I always hated part 1 for those levels before you become a jedi. Just wasnt my cup of tea in that regard. In the end, I think part 1 was more polished and definately ran smoother, but I think part 2 was the bigger undertaking and took KotOR series out of the kiddies land and placed it firmly in the hands of a mature design for adults. Part 1 was great fun but its story wasnt anything beyond that of a teen agers novel. Part 2 was in many ways darker and more complexe. Anyways, thats my take on it Love both games and cant wait for part 3 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No need to write a post on your own when there's someone who nailed it already for you

Don't do that, sometimes pre-orders arrive later than it does in retail in Finland.

"Die dunkle Seite der Macht." <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Since i know some german, i have to say that it has that *omph* touch to it.

Cliffhanger, sort of.

No one's working on KoTOR III at the moment. Hence the topic description.

458,761 people bought KotOR II in North America on the xbox platform. By the time it's released on the PC and international xbox, it will probably hit 1 million. So now, Obsidian start working on KotOR III already! (with a better engine pretty please?). Source.

unfortunately, because of the decision to have kotor2 follow so closely to the story of kotor1 both in terms of story and time frame, i think the same needs to be done for kotor3, otherwise many people will be upset that they seemed to just leave the series up in the air. i would have agreed that a brand new story would have been best, but only if they had done so in kotor2. imo, kotor1 had wrapped up the revan story well enough that if he was never mentioned again, it wouldnt have been that big of a deal. but since thats my 2 cents. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It would more or less an insult to the KotOR-community if KotOR III doesn't pick up after a respectable timeframe from the events of KotOR II.

Yummie And yes, Mandalore should be in KotOR III aswell, joining up with the rest of the Mandalorians in a glorious final battle.

Eurogamer is usually very critical when reviewing games, so i take that 8/10 as a high score. The review itself was very balanced too.

Wow, that was a sh1tty review. While the he had a point about the influence system, but his nagging about the graphics and performance almost made him sound like a crybaby.

Meh. Extracting good quality XBOX screenshots is a pain in the ass. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hey, you managed to extract some pretty good ones before.

That settles it then. The next monday after , you have a cup of tea with a lot biscuits. Only after that, the game starts...

Sounds good to me <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Most definately. Have a cup of tea, then time to save/conquer the galaxy

Mandalore gets my vote.

Next Monday, at tea-time.

Thanks, this one should be a sticky.

Well, that's the official answer. Sorry folks, but atleast i tried
