I saw a release date that was from a shop they post dates confirmed, it was originally for this october and if changed they change it and it changed to feb 2006 which is good giving the extra time it may need. i seen the videos and pics and it looks quite good and i am interested in getting it. but as you said we have to wait and see the final product and hope it does not get rushed.

Given that they had less time overall which did inpact the game one think i think also shortend down the time was that there was kotor and they like reused the engine and just modified it and had some of the kotor content reused and modified. An example of this is koraban. with this it obviously helped them ease the ammount of work to do. In my view Kotor was better in my oponion with the storyline and felt more complete. but why kotor 2 did improve on alot of elements compaired to kotor like the influance system and better customisation of your character and your aligment affecting the characters. the devs obviously tried to do to much to make it a better game with in a short period and that overall affected the game. Obviously while there are many bugs this for a small company which currently has to rely on money for each job which is a factor did come out reasonable well but for the game that had plenty of potential and posibilities it somewhat was wasted. The game did feel and well as we know had scraped out content, i would'nt of minded them managing to round it up properly and not so obviously that it was ripped out and there was more. But some charaters i felt had good character development and other well what the hell were they there for other that to follow you cause your a leader. On a different note i doubt a content patch is out of obsidians hands to finish of what they started (even though lucasarts is the one in control and not releasd the high res sounds and videos) cause look at Star Wars Battlefront thats had content patches released for it. As had Kotor and some other starwars games. Personally I think obsidian don't want to do it cause of money and time. so they say the game is finished and end of story. thats just my oponion.
