New updated powers list: Battle Meditation: Bastila's special mind-affecting power. Enemies are frightened and fight poorly, allies are encouraged and fight with precision. Force Crush: Dark Side Power. Used for crushing opponents after lifting them off the ground. Force Rage: Another stat-modifying power, this time a dark side one. Force Sight: Lets you see through walls and see force alignment of NPCs, via auras: blue for good, red for evil, and gray for neutral. Force Clairvoyance: Lets you see the future in the game (ie. farther ahead in the level). Force Confusion: Allows you to turn weak-minded enemies against each other in combat. Master Fury: Yet another Dark Side stat-modifying power. Force Scream: Terrifying sonic attack that kills or injures nearby enemies.

Well, i agree with that.

Onderon Preview: The first thing I was shown was a new planet called Onderon, which is ruled by a queen who is allied with the Republic. There's a bit of an upheaval going on right now, though, as half of the population feels that the Republic has done nothing for them but send their best and brightest off to die in an intergalactic war. The other half of the people believes that the queen is doing what is best for her people, and that her people should stand by her side. The producer told me that you'll be able to pick a side and fight for them, play both sides against each other, or simply remain neutral. It's not really known if there are any advantages to any of these options, but that's part of what made the first game so great. You can choose to do whatever you want, and that's obviously the case here, as well. While we really didn't get to see much of the planet itself (we simply got a tour of the starport), the producers told me that we can expect a lot more types of terrain in the game. He said they've added a lot of areas that are on different vertical planes, so that many levels involved running up and down slopes or ramps to get to other parts in the level. This was evident in the area leading up to the queen's palace, as the group ran up a few ramps, battling their way to the main throne area.

Which screenshot is supposed to be Force Scream?

Koala's arn't as freindly as they appear Perhaps a knife fight with a Jawa? Dismembered eh? Wookiee love?

Okay, so the mystery pictures may be Onderon - city of Iziz. Perhaps that's the new level to be revealed today - Onderon!

Yes actually. I thought it was some kind of dev joke, because the guy really does like just like Bruce Li. Well, maybe Jackie Chan...

But of course. I wonder how Darth Sion got all mangled like that... Was it an act of friend or foe? Jedi or Sith? Accidentally or intentionally...

Here's the latest update on planets: Someone announced that there would be seven worlds in KOTOR II. (Of course, it might be seven NEW worlds, not including any we've already been to. 1. Peragus - the mining colony you start on. You've apparently been trapped, abandoned, etc. here by Sith attack. You get the Ebon Hawk here too. 2. Dantooine - the blasted out remnants of the Jedi Academy. Who knows what old faces you might see here? 3. Telos - Carth Onasi's homeworld. Also a blasted out planet being rebuilt. We'll probably see Carth again here, maybe Dustil too. 4. Dxun - A moon of Onderon. This is the place we've seen in the recent jungle screenshots. Important battles of the Exar Kun Sith and Mandalorian Wars were fought here. Also, I remember reading somewhere that there is a Sith Tomb here, somewhere. 5. Onderon - A planet of significance to the old Sith. It is the mother planet to the moon Dxun. 6. Kashyyyk? - One computer magazine mentioned that we'll be returning to Kashykkk, but this may be incorrect (in fact, I'm almost hoping it is, if for no other reason than that I want to see new planets!) 7. Other Potential Planets: Coruscant Nar Shaddaa Bpfassh Korriban Sluis Van Corellia There are loads of other possibilities for planets. Any educated guesses are most welcome. What are the other planets going to be? Why? So there's the key data again.

It could very well be Telos, either a rebuilt part of the planet or an area unscathed by Sith bombardment. All we saw of Telos before was the rainy moor from the E3 demo.

So he has no background in KOTOR 1... how do you know this? As for his role as villain, I think he's the new Calo Nord/Darth Bandon type character. To defeat him, you must use Force Feel to get through his pre-existant pain.

New planet pictures! On the official KOTOR 2 website, there are pictures of a new world, one that looks very Romanesque, kind of like Byzantine Constantinople. Any ideas as to where this might be?

That sounds cool. Is it being demonstrated in one of the new game images on lucasarts.com?

Well, Darth Sion has been revealed. Somehow though, I don't think he's the main villain. I think the skull-masked character is the number one villain, and that he is different from Sion. Who could Sion be? Do you ever kill or hear about anybody in KOTOR 1 that could have somehow survived to become Sion?

well, it's been mentioned that there will be additional lightsaber colors. i'd like to see black and white, but there's been no official mention of that yet.

I'm serious! Force Pull and Improved Force Jump would be really cool to have!

Nar Shaddaa -- see above.

Why do you always have to interject in a perfectly normal conversation? I'll post a link to the Darth Sion page if and when they put it up.

More planetary info on potential worlds, this time from starwars.com: A twisted mirroring of the planet-encasing cities of Coruscant, Nar Shaddaa is the Huttese name for the over-urbanized planetoid known commonly as the Smugglers' Moon. The spaceport moon orbits the Hutt stronghold world of Nal Hutta, in the Y'Toub system. According to Hutt legend, their true homeworld of Varl was destroyed eons ago, and the heroic Hutts conquered Nal Hutta as their new homeworld. The native Evocii were displaced to the largest of Nal Hutta's moons, Nar Shaddaa, but the Hutts eventually annexed the moon as well. Over the centuries, Nar Shaddaa grew as an important way station in interstellar trade. Ancient refueling spires and loading docks still reach out from the native soil into orbit, and in between, vast vertical cities have filled the spaces. The lower levels fell into disrepair and decay, and the lowliest of dregs were forced into the decrepit undercity. The descendants of the Evocii degenerated in the shadowed filth of Nar Shaddaa's foundations, mutating into unwholesome savages. For a time, Nar Shaddaa enjoyed an air of luxury, but changing political climes turned it into a criminal haven. The moon is firmly affixed in the galaxy's criminal underbelly, and no amount of reform will ever bring it into the light again. Ship-jackers, slavers, spice dealers, pirates, hunters and other unsavory types congregate in the vile cities. For a price, anything can be bought and sold on Nar Shaddaa, and many young smugglers and fringe-types get their start on the Smugglers' Moon.

May i offer a much simpler solution, my dear Indalecio? FORCE PULL!!! And Atton Rand and Mira are up on the platform with you! Voila.

I know it well, monsieur le Prodigal Knight! I know it well. I was merely spouting off some John Cleese-style sledgehammer conversation. (Anybody seen Fawlty Towers?) Darth Sion forever...

How wonderful for you all I'm sure. I just like to post information in the character thread for those who may not have as much "information."

Yes, but a Darth Maul clone isn't especially feasible.

No, not really. I was, in fact, being facetious.

You mean like an "event" use? (e.g. near chasm, use Force Jump to jump) Well, that is one option. You should be able to simply "jump" whenever you like, not just towards enemies. Example: Oh, look! A window in the parapet of that Sith Temple *FORCE JUMP!!!* Oh, look! Now I've jumped into the Sith Temple.
