Kotor III should indeed have a new engine where you can:
A) chop off heads / arms and slice melee weapons without a cortosis weave in two (sandpeople with Gaffi sticks where so unrealistic in Kotor I)
B) Have free look ability (does Kotor II have that? I haven't played the game yet)
I don't necessarily have to agree with a lot of other points. I think an expansion disk is all right to me as well.
I do have to say that I wouldn't want to play again as the exile or Revan but as someone who doesn't know much about the force, the Jedi (which are wiped out in Kotor III, why not). Start of as a sort of Luke Skywalker in ANH with how about Yuthura Ban / Juhani or how about Mekel as a Jedi Master to train you in the ways of the force. That would be very interesting IMO. For all other things well, I do trust game developers are making a great game. As for to be visiting planets. This is on my wish list:
1) YAVIN IV!!!
2) Alderaan
3) Mon calamari
4) Coruscant
5) Hapes
6) Naboo
7) Ithor
Ord Mantell
9) Dagobah
I don't know about you but from Kotor I, I really didn't like the "Kotor created planets" like Taris and Manaan and to a lesser extent the Unknown World and the Star Forge. Maybe Kotor II is doing something better with Peragus and Telos but I am not really looking forward to those.
Space exploration is a good thing to do in Star Wars and since the only way to explore this universe is to play the Kotor RPG's I say we should have a fully new list of planets to be taken from the "Original section of planets" from the movies or books! NO MORE CREATIONS PLEASE!
