I'll make my mind up when I have a good read through the manual while it installs (yay CDs!) but at the moment I'm thinking along the lines of Sentinel/Master.

I imagine the party members actions will be something along the lines of BG/BG2. Your party members in those games would up and leave if they disagreed with your actions, insult each other, offer differing views on what to do according to their alignment, and even kill each other off. As I recall, this was based on a system of reputation. Doing good and heroic deeds made the general populace regard you with respect, with the advantage of lowering the cost of equipment etc. On the other hand, being villanous caused you to be despised with the opposite effect on the people. If your rep fell too far, paladins would leave you or refuse to join, too high and evil NPCs would leave or refuse to join. Sound familiar?

I can't say as I've not played the game yet. Seems pretty pointless deciding now whether he is a good villian or not. Why not try this poll again when the game is actually released?

That power of Luke's is nothing to do with the force. I'm sure I've seen Arnie, Jean Claude Van Dame and Bruce Willis use the same power Unless they are all force sensitive too. Which might explain how Arnie became Govenor of California....... OMG! He's a Sith Lord!!!

I don't think I have seen any new screenshots with short sabers in them. Are the short sabers out?

Don't panic! I play on a GEForce 2 Ti at the moment. While it ran smooth for KOTOR I wasnt able to take advantage of all the nicer graphics. All I mean is that I want a better card this time so that I can turn it up full.

Have you seen the Telos flyby and preview at ign, yet? Happy Birthday.

It looks beautiful. It also looks pretty large. I think its time for a new graphics card.

Again, if (when) KOTOR2 sells like hot cakes they will make another KOTOR style RPG. Whether it is KOTOR 3, NJO or something not yet mentioned is another matter.

Or you can use the Vacum Mask that Bastilla carries.

Well, its time for the non american folks to start asking the inevitable: Will it have a worldwide release date or is it going to be another America first and then the rest some weeks later?

I have to say that KOTOR was very stable for me. I would get the occasional crash, but mainly after extended periods of play, like 8 or 9 hours solid. I put those crashes down to my PC (*shakes fist at Windows ME*) rather then the game though.

I'll be happy if its as good as KOTOR. By the sounds of it, its going to be better.

Actually, I've been wondering if Dxun and Onderon count as two worlds or one.

I think you're being a bit harsh on Bioware for not revealing how Malak lost his jaw. I saw Star Wars in 1977 and will only find out the reason that Darth Vader is more machine than man in May 2005. Now, I'm sure that there is a book or comic somewhere that already explains that and thats fair enough but it isn't explained in the movies until next year. On that note, perhaps someone will write a book or comic that explains the loss of Malak's jaw. For all I know there may already be one.

Good point but I seem to recall that the X-Box folks didn't get Yavin IV or did they eventually put that on X-Box live?

I don't care what format it comes on as long as it works. I don't have a DVD drive at the moment but I would buy one if KOTOR2 came out on DVD only. Hell, I'd buy an x-box if it was an x-box only game too.

I haven't read much on the downloadable content for X-Box live. Has there been any indication that it will also be available to download for the PC?

Err, JediMaster Revan, if thats you, you're Natalie Portman.

It did? Hmm, I was pretty sure that it didn't. I don't mean that any level was acheivible but rather that there was no predetermined level where you would be unable to make use of an xp gain. Out of interest, what was the hard cap as I mustn't have hit it. As for Revan, I assume you are referring to some elses post as I have never intimated that Revan was a playable character in KOTOR2. Thanks.

I voted for unlimited. I prefer a levelling system like BG2 were the total amount of xp available in the game determined the possible finishing level rather then a set hard cap.

But does that preclude them from being anything else than Jedi Masters?

I decided to have a dig around the Wizards of the Coast website to see if they had any info on PrCs. While I can't say if the info in this link refers in any way to what Obsidian have made for KOTOR2 I would hazard a guess that it will be at least loosley base on this: Jedi Master Prestiege Class for Star Wars RPG: Jedi Master

I loved the story in KOTOR. All I'm asking for is a story as good as the first one. Here's hoping.

So technically as far as we know, they *could* appear as Sith. Hmmm.....
