lol -- we remained in "ritual clothing" until the next stop! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Have you had Atton comment to the handmaidne on exile and handmaidens dueling yet. You probably have to be a male PC to get the funny comment. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> d'you mean while we were still on Telos, against all the Handmaidens? Unfortunately, I sent Atton back to the ship -- he was whining about being there, so I took Kreia and Bao Dur instead. Kreia doesn't like anybody....lol

If you didn't like Sudeki's ending just wait until you see TSL's ending. " Cheers! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I refuse to believe that -- the problem with SUDEKI was that there was no endgame sequence where there easily could have been, but more than that, it was assumed character development happened (?!), when in fact you never cared for the characters (but perhaps wanted to). The ending FMV was ok in my book -- but the journey as a whole wasn't memorable. I already dig the characters in this game, so that alone is making the journey an excellent ride. I didn't particularly dig the LS ending in KOTOR1, but that didn't stop me from enjoying the game a full second time through, and starting a 3rd and 4th. I guess we'll see how it all pans out....

gawd, I totally agree about length (FABLE) and endgame (or lack thereof) in SUDEKI (I liked Climax's ideas for combat, and enjoyed the graphics too, but talk about rushed).....but I love KOTOR II, and can't get enough. I'm not disappointed at all, and in fact, overjoyed to be honest. It's not perfect, but I don't care -- it's FUN, and I definitely expect to play it multiple times, and for many hours.

memorable characters, definitely. --- I believe it's called "pulling a Bindo".

lol -- we remained in "ritual clothing" until the next stop!

the framerate definitely dips, but I've encountered no freezes, black screens, etc. The only glitch encountered so far is when I queue up attacks and the pathfinding is a bit off (instead of doing what I say, they charge head-first into battle) -- that's happened twice in the 20+ hours I've played

or hell, Why is she there, for those that killed her in mortal combat, but went with the LS ending? I didn't kill her in any of my plays through, but I know others did, and were kinda confused when she's in the ending sequence regardless -- maybe it was her super-imposed ghost? ;p It would have been great for a more thorough ending sequence, but seriously, the journey is so well done.

have you played it? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> of course! I got it on Day 1 for Xbox, being a fan of the first -- in fact, the original is currently my favorite RPG to-date. Anyway, I have not had the game-breaking technical issues others have had, at about 20+ hours into the game on Difficult. Sure, the game could have used more polish, but as is, I can't play it enough. My only gripe is that the loading screens are still long enough to suck, but that seemed more of a problem near the beginning....

am I the only one who thought the same thing about KOTOR1's lightside ending? I know it was reminiscient of Episode IV, but it felt like a quickie to me. I liked the darkside ending better, but it wasn't the best. ending. evar. either. However, the journey made and characters developed made the game my absolute favorite. I'm finding the characters in this game just as compelling.

I think this game is my GotY -- for real.

....unless you're sparring with them on the Ebon Hawk (and it's a ritual thang)! "

heh, Can't pull myself away from KOTOR2 even for a second, so nope, haven't played this demo yet!

I thought the original KOTOR had a horrible ending (light side), even though it was a shout-out to Episode IV. Too short, and meh. But that didn't stop me from playing through the game again, and getting the much more satisfying DS ending. But that ending wasn't all that great either -- it was definitely the journey, for me.

I hope not, thats a stupid idea, the biggest problem being how almost every second after ROTJ is covered by some lame author. Worse the New Order books have to be the least liked turds ever laided by LucasArts, that or the New Anakin ending in ROTJ <{POST_SNAPBACK}> lawlz

it was definitely rushed for an Xmas release on Xbox, but I haven't encountered any fatal bugs/glitches whatsoever in the 20+ hours I've been playing -- if and when I do, I'll be sure to post about it, but right now, I'm loving the game immensely. There was a certain part that I thought had glitched, as I was all alone, but it turns out all I had to do was to pick my party members! oops. :"> I don't doubt the game has glitches or bugs. The first game did, and with that one, I had one freeze at the very beginning, but that was it. However, I know some people ran into the dreaded "Carth glitch" as well as the Galaxy Droid -- I never ran into either. And although I've never had a corrupted save, I always have mutliple save-files anyway....

I haven't encountered any issues either, and LOVE this game. THANKS OBSIDIAN!

well, since I enjoy games for GAMEPLAY, the Xbox version's graphical inferiority to a high-end PC does not hinder my enjoyment. At all. In fact, quite the opposite.

that sucks, Tobiass. I'm on my second Xbox, as the first one's HDD died, taking my MORROWIND save-files with it (buh-bye countless hours of my life!). This Xbox hasn't had any issues with software yet, and now that I think about it, I suppose I got graphical glitches in KOTOR2 (like the odd transition with previous scene), but honestly thought nothing of it, since the game didn't lock-up or whatever.....I have yet to cross a game-breaker, or a black screen. I'll post if and when, though. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> After attempting to play Morrowind (gonna try and get back into it, it is a damn big game) and seeing the massive, drawn out quests and how truly open-ended it is I can only give my condolences at the anguish you must've felt. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> thanks, man. I'm just glad that MORROWIND saves can fit on the Xbox memory cards as well -- I backup all the latest saves onto it. Too bad I can't do the same for KOTOR!

undecided..... I was originally planning on being a pillar of Light, but I find myself screwing over the very people I save at times -- no murder, mind you, but I don't mind getting extra credits here and there. well, ok, I guess I murdered some guards, but they asked for it! Like I was getting caught by those weaklings.....!!

sounds like your Xbox. Mine had zero issues with HALO 2, and the only issues it has with KOTOR2 are the framerate drops (which we all knew about). have had zero freezes and no game-breaking glitches......but I am not yet in Korriban. I'll report back if I do, though. as is, I suspect your Xbox is to blame.....sorry

besides the framerate drop occasionally (for like a second, maybe), there's no issues for me......and what bugs/glitches? I know I keep multiple save-files anyway, so even if one save got messed up, I have back-ups. Do PCers not have to worry about all that? The game is GREAT; I'm about 18+ hours in now, and my only complaint is the loading screens -- if they could have optimized anything, that woulda been it. Other than that though? Excellent gameplay, story, voice-acting, etc.

it'll be worth the wait, y'all -- got it on Tuesday (12/7/04), and have already clocked in 11+ hours in the two days I've played (had to skip a day to recover from sleep deprivation, thanks to KOTOR2 and being employed)!

Gameplay? Kicks ass, as before, with new force powers, better combat animations, better dialogue options, etc. Story? Gripping. Sound? Excellent voice-acting, and great music -- I was concerned that the VAs wouldn't be as top-notch, but my fears were uncalled for, and have been forgotten. I'll be playin and replayin for atleast 100+ hours from here on out

I've played it for 11+ hours on Xbox since I brought it home Tuesday, 12/7/2004
