There are thermal detonators, ion grenades, frag grenades, concussion grenades, sonic grenades, fire grenades, cryoban grenades, etc.... why do we have this thread?
Think about it this way... with the immense popularity of KOTOR with gamers and the media where can KOTOR2 go wrong? Everything as far as the surface is concerned is the same with a few tweaks. The only thing they can screw up is the storyline and the characters. With 14 months of development I'm sure that's plenty of time to get a good solid storyline out of an experienced group of developers.
