Jade Shadow

Notice how the handmaiden is there when your PC has a blue lightsaber and visas marr is there when you have a red one. There is definitely a force alignment requirement to having those two.

I hope the Sith Theme from KOTOR 1 shows up in this game. I loved that piece.

Also if you look on the ESRB website, the upcoming "Republic Commando" is rated T with "Violence" and "Blood and Gore" descriptors. With Episode III supposedly darker and likely PG-13, are the Star Wars games following suit?

trailer, music, and wallpaper. I'd rather he be shrouded in mystery. It's the mask.

Star Wars has interdictors which I guess work by generating a large gravitational field. Though in New Jedi Order, the Yuuzhan Vong actually generated real singularities to pull ships out of hyperspace. So anyway, that the Leviathan was able to pull the Ebon hawk out of hyperspace just means it had interdiction capabilities.

Awesome. Loved the LS/DS stuff. A new trailer and a few more wallpapers would be cool though. (w00t)

The music for light and dark when you get far enough down each path is even better than the eerie music that plays when you're neutral. I liked the dark music best I think.

KOTOR took me 45 hours on the first time through, doing all the side quests. As somone used to first person shooters, I though that was pretty darn long for a single player game. Plus it had hella replay value.

That line made me think that perhaps the Sith will conquer the galaxy at some point in KOTOR. See my post in the story thread.

Yeah that was not so hot on Lucasarts' part. I'd like some new info, but let's keep it spoiler-free. I'm also hoping for some new videos. KOTOR 1 had some awesome trailers but this game's have been lacking IMO.

Apparently Obi Wan's a full jedi master and Anakin's a knight at the time of Episode III.

I don't think they said anything about no plot twists. They just said there will be no anemsia or crazy mind games. No messing with the player's head. That doesn't necessarily mean there won't be any twists.

Obsidian has said in interviews that it would be much darker than KOTOR 1. My idea which probably won't happen because it will be unsatisfying is that the Republic falls to the Sith whether you're dark or light. If you're dark, the final cutscene is of you on the bridge of your flagship unleashing some planetary bombardment upon Coruscant. If you're light, you're somehow deceived into thinking you cornered MSG on a remote world. Upon killing him, you find that it was Darth Sion behind the mask, even though you thought you killed him earlier (he already should be dead so it's got to be pretty hard to make sure you've killed him). When you leave the Sith temple, you find your ship destroyed, leaving you stranded. Cut to MSG conquering Coruscant. In KOTOR 3, your character (someone new) leads a rebellion against the Sith, similar to the situation in the Original Trilogy. Maybe you come across some people from KOTOR 2 on that remote world. That's probably not going to happen though. I don't think Lucasarts would let the Republic fall for the light side as well. Although, I do remember a line from the movies saying that the Republic has stood for a thousand years. Not four thousand or more. IIRC it was just a thousand. Perhaps this isn't the same Old Republic as in the prequel trilogy. Perhaps there was a time of Sith rule in between KOTOR trilogy and then.

He sat on his butt until Obsidian called and gave him the starring role in their new game.

IIRC, someone on the Bioware forums a while back said there was a way to extract them from the game files but I could never make it work. Then someone posted the link to the soundtrack on the web that someone posted earlier and that was much easier. Great soundtrack. I hope they do a similar thing with the KOTOR 2 soundtrack. I really liked how the first game's was always reminiscent of John Willliams and used some variations on some of the original themes but was never the exact same thing that we've all heard a million times, like in the Jedi Knight games. Make it original, but make it Star Wars, please!

Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Half Life 2 Half Life: Source Halo 2 Metal Gear Solid 3 Battle for Middle Earth such a packed holiday season! (w00t)

I can't wait. Also, respect the newbs. Some of us only have a few posts because we just moved over here from the KOTOR 1 forums at the Bioware web site.
