Darth_Gandalf

Yes. I was, in fact, being facetious, sarcastic, and... flippant!!!

He dispatched of who? Plo Koon and Mace Windu?

Trask Ulgo was really a force adept sent to make sure you (Revan) survived. He sacrificed himself to Bandon to save you, but only wound up turned to the dark side like Bastila was. Now he's the villain behind the Sith mask! :ph34r:

The Dark Side of the Force is like leprosy; you just can't hang on to all of your body!

I think the Hapes Consortium could be a good idea.

I wouldn't complain too much about the way Darth_Gandalf operates. I'm guessin one of the reasons he does that is cuz not everyone reads all of the posts so him doing that decreases the chance of people asking the same questions over and over again. I find this very helpful. Keep up the good work Gandalf, that's all I gotta say. Thanks. I'm just trying to help, since these threads get so vast, I really don't expect anybody to go back and read through all we've discussed.

Yes, the only reason to go to Hoth would be if there was some hidden Sith tomb/temple/fortress to investigate that has never been heard of before. While such a thing would undoubtedly be cool, it is rather unlikely.

I think we've got all of those covered in one form or another. I'm assuming Master Heal is just an uograde of regular heal.

Well, if everybody know, how come I had to say it again?!!!

Yeah, a lot of those prequel planets were pathetically lame!

Sounds cool. Lets you see what to do so you're not running blind.

It's been announced that Kreia is in a Jolee type situation. A half-Jedi of sorts.

Thanks for the info. Duly noted, and updated.

Update on characters: We've been informed that your party in Knights of the Old Republic II will consist of 10 characters. There will be more than 10 available NPCs, but you'll only be able to have 10 at a time, and there sometimes comes a time where you must choose between characters. 1. Your Character - Jedi Guardian, Sentinel or Consular It remains to be seen if your main character has a real name (like Revan from last time) or if they will just keep the moniker that you give them. This character's attributes are up to you. 2. Kreia - Jedi Consular She is the older female Jedi in the brown cloak. I remember seeing her with a green lightsaber, so I'm assuming she's a Consular. 3. Altris - Jedi Guardian She is the beautiful younger Jedi with the platinum blonde hair. She always has her blue lightsaber, so again, I'm assuming her class by it's color. The name may be slightly different, I think they're trying to keep it under wraps. 4. Atton Rand - Scoundrel He is the Han Solo-esque character we see from time to time. He has brown or black hair and wears a vest. Ah, he just looks like Han Solo. Simple enough. 5. Mira - Scout Mira is the red-headed firecracker bounty hunter with the bare midriff that we've seen in recent clips. She's also got a super-cool rocket launcher thing on her wrist! 6. T3-M4 - Happy Li'l Droid One of the least popular characters from KOTOR I, T3 is now supposedly upgraded. This remains to be seen, but he can't be all that bad, can he? How he meets up with your character remains to be seen. 7. HK-47 or another, similar droid - Combat Droid It has been announced that a droid similar to a certain homicidal "meatbag" killer will be in your party. Whether this is HK-47 or not remains to be seen, but heck, there's always two droids. Just look at the movies. Unknown characters: Since you get at least one of each class in your party for variety, we can estimate by logic what the other characters will be. 8. Male Jedi Sentinel Since we've already got two female Jedi, it stands to reason that the third will be a male. So it looks like a man is behind the yellow lightsaber in this installment of the series, also to those of you expecting Bastila, Juhani or Yuthura Ban in your party, it looks like your chances are slim. 9. Soldier We haven't seen a soldier yet, so it is reasonable that there will be one in your party. It is uncertain whether they will be male or female. However, following precedent, in your party there are seven humanoid characters, discluding yourself and the droids. Last time there were four men and three women. It could be different this time, but I'm betting it's still the same ratio. 10. ??? What other character class, gender, species has been left out of the mix? Hmm... Also, we've seen nothing but droids and humans up to this point, so I'm betting that at least one, if not all of the remaining characters are aliens. We had three (or four) aliens in the first game (Zaalbar - Wookiee, Mission - Twi'lek, Juhani - Cathar, Canderous - Mandalorian), and we will probabaly have a similar number in this one. Possible species: Any of the species from KOTOR I: I think Wookiee, Twi'lek, Cathar and Mandalorian may be out, since they'll want to give us something new. They may introduce any of the following: Mon Calamari - we haven't seen any of these yet. Bothan - I hope not. Not my favorite alien. Zabrak - Would be cool, but really only if similar to Darth Maul. I dunno. Rodian - Could get annoying very quickly. Sullustan - Another potentially annoying alien. Who really liked Nien Nunb anyway? Aqualish - Hmm. Well, maybe not. Selkath - Since the "pathetic fish" look all alike, this one may be out too. Iridonian - We saw one in the first game, the really evil guy in the yellow armor. Echani - They look just like people, so this may be pointless. Duros - They don't do much besides get killed. Hmm.

Okay, here's an update on the new force powers. 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. Mind Trick: Allows you to sneak past enemies without being seen or heard. Possible Additions: Force Pull Anything else I should add?

I thought I'd repost key data so that people don't have to keep looking for it. 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 another planet. 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. Kashyyyk? - One computer magazine mentioned that we'll be returning to Kashykk, 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!) 6/7. Other Potential Planets: Coruscant Onderon 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.

Mos Eisley & Mos Espa do not exist yet. Yes, I know. I was just giving an example of multiple planet locations. We know Tattooine isn't in this onw anyway.

You don't know that for sure. Circumstantial evidence is not enough. I'll believe it if a Dev says it and not before.

Seriously! I'd much rather be massaged by a beautiful woman than some oafish ogre-man.

They won't put it in. Trust me.

No comment. I don't want to start a politics war in a KOTOR forum.

Why does it fade to black for a kiss? Obviously they didn't make any kissing or massaging animation. Plus, it would probably get boring to just watch your PC getting a massage for half and hour.

You are merely making an inference. There is no direct reference to sexual intercourse.

Several of the more complicated CRPGs became inscrutable to the untrained player. And as for KOTOR, right now it's a game that parents wouldn't object to kids playing -- no blood, guts, sex, or drugs (well, the spice is in there, but you don't get high).

Enemies sniping from far off? Force Pull! Lightsabre'd!!!
