I guess my problem with the whole thing is I really don't want the story to be ruined by the game coming out at 2 seperate times. I know I didn't get KOTOR I until this past March. I know that it's much later than most people here, but that was only because I didn't have an X-Box and it wasn't till then that I had a computer fast enough to handle the game. But I decided to check out a fan site before buying the game and right on the front page of the site was a huge spoiler for the ending of the game. I'm afraid I'm going to stumble upon something like this again while waiting for KOTOR II to come out. Another thing that is unique to my situation is that I'm actually appearing in KOTOR II. I won a sweepstakes and LucasArts flew me out to their studios to take my picture to be included as a character in the game (my avatar is my head). They haven't told me my "role" yet, but just thinking that all those X-Boxers out there will be able to observe my character 2 months before I even see it feels weird. Oh well. Such is life...

I think gold might look cool. Yeah, it will be similar to yellow, but a much darker shade. Other than that, I really can't think of many other "new" colors they could use without being too much like the ones we already know exist.

There's a contest? *Goes to read Lucas Art's site* Sorry, no idea what the plans are there. -Akari Yeah, last year there was a sweepstakes to win an appearance in an upcoming LucasArts game along with some other very cool stuff. I found out back in January that I had won and I took a trip out to San Rafael and did a whole bunch of cool stuff out there. I've been told my appearance will be in KOTOR II and I've seen a headshot of myself which is also my avatar, but I don't know any other details.

Any word on how the LucasArts contest winner (me) will be used in the game?

Very cool trailer. Environments are amazing and character animations look smooth. I'm still waiting, however, to see what I'm gonna look like in the game.

What if the hood actually helped out in your charisma? Like you might be able to be more persuasive if you were wearing the hood. Maybe they could even tie it to the DS or LS. Wearing the hood while on the DS would make you more powerful whilst wearing it on the LS wouldn't. I don't know, just tossing out ideas...

LucasArts tends to include things when you preorder a game on their website such as the lightsaber letter opener or keychains. I'm hoping for a shirt or maybe a soundtrack CD. That'd be cool. I know somewhere it was mentioned that you can now listen to the music from a menu in the game much like the movie menu option from KOTOR I.

Male. I hope I can play as this guy right here <<<<<--------------------------------------

Well, I enjoy all the little things in a game. Company logo intros have always been a favorite of mine. I don't know if anyone has played Conker's Bad Fur Day for N64, but that game had some of the best logo intros ever. The little squirrel actually cuts the Nintendo logo in half with a chainsaw. I think the logos allow a company to get out some of it's creative talent without being held to the confines of their particular subject, ala the disco dancing Darth Vader in Rebel Strike. Besides, do you really want to discuss what new colors of lightsabers there will be for the 5 millionth time?

In some previous LucasArts games there has been a funny animation introducing the LucasArts logo. That was absent in the PC version of KOTOR and I'm not sure if it was there in the X-Box version. I know I'd kinda like to see something neat when I first turn on KOTOR II. Anybody have any ideas for a humorous logo intro?

The video interview is Insider only. The info on the link above is free. Basically the info is the same as the stuff from Gamespot. I don't know about the video yet. I'll let you know tomorrow when it finishes downloading Darn 180MB file...

IGN Insider KOTOR II Interview Here is a new interview on IGN Insider. Its rather large, so I haven't viewed it yet...

I hope they have some talking heads, otherwise it would be the same as it ever was...

Not to download the video. You can stream it for free, but since I'm on a 56K connection, that doesn't work very well. To download it you need Complete.

Man, I hate all this Insider and Complete stuff. Why can't I download the interview for free? Things like this should be public domain. I know if I were LucasArts I'd want everybody in the world to see info on my game so they'd potentially purchase it. Don't get me wrong, I'm an IGN Insider, but I don't want to have to get both IGN and Gamespot to be able to see info on games I want.
