Yeah, apparently some people will appear or not depending on a variety of things; whenever your chara is light/dark, man/woman, etc...
IMO this wil greatly add to the replay value!
From what i have heard so far there will lots more party members but depending on how you play the game (light or dark) some will like you and join you but others will not! Atleast thats my understanding.
The PC is out of touch with force as would anyone who had not done some thing for that long! If you play a sport and then you dont play for a long time u then become rusty!
I think HK and Canderous will be back. i'm not too keen on T3 being in the game he was kinda crap and had no personallity but they are supposed to be making him better!
What Master Uthar says in the tomb of Naga Sadow is 'some time u kill for no other reason than to prove u r superior' (or something like that) so that pours water on that argument!!!
But i do agree that their could be more really evil things to do! :angry:
I just read a preview in PC Gamer, which said that there would be more side quests that are only available if you have a certain skill. It also said that if you have a high treat injury skill this will affect the diolog when speaking to dotors/medics!!!
