Gargantuan

I have a setup almost the same specification as yours, and KOTOR really did not run well. It is probably because the game was based on the Aurora engine which in itself was a modified NWN engine, which runs on OpenGL. ATI cards do not run OpenGL applications as well as GeForce variants. BTW, it is promising that IGN gave such a high rating, but they are notorious for doling out ratings that are unabashedly high. They gave GTA: San Andreas a whopping 9.9.

How long is the cinematic sequence in the game? If it is any close to what the first game had, it will be necessary to skip over some of them. Or at least make them with better direction, so we will not have qualms of seeing it again and again... But the game is already gone gold and in the hands of some players, so I guess it is sort of a moot point voicing any concern.

I hope being evil presents more of an actual practical choice, so some players would be confused as to why they've earned a few DS points whereas on the outset they think they did the righteous thing.

I will get the PC version. I've waited for more than a year without playing any RPG on PC, what could possibly two more months mean to me. I can wait. I hope the modded content will make much difference. Maybe it is different from KOTOR I and Bioware overtly put down any notion of fan created content, possibly from LucasArts intellectual rights policy, or somenthing like that. I guess this ain't the case here, from what I hear on the forum. Upgrading PC is rather tiresome, but it is fun in and of itself. I've used the current PC for more than two years, and can still play current games. If there is platform consolidation on the Xbox, the PC has scaleability. PC may require more QA though. I hope they release it a bit later if it means less bugs and incompatibility issues.
