I'm supporting Master_Sean over here as well as LA. If we don't agree with something, we need to speak up. I am a moderator for the fan site www.kotorfanfic.com. There we have a very loyal following of fans for Kotor, obviously, if we would take the time to write stories and do art associated with the original game. I would say the majority of our gamers are affected by this announcement, because they either play the PC version, or are international. We have an active community of 360 people, which may not seem like much, but these people represent hard-core Star Wars and Kotor fans. The feeling people there are talking about is "betrayal" and broken promises. Kotor II was consistently promoted as having a simultaneous release. Now the people who have been waiting patiently feel cheated because of the broken promise. It's not as much the fact that some people will get it first. But PC gamers and international Xbox users will sit while American Xbox users play the game. It is a constant thing that international users get shorted with many games, while companies like EA manage to do simultaneous release. It's not a matter of flaming one company, it's the mindset in general. We can all see what happened. Because K2: TSL can come out on Xbox in the US before Christmas and the lucrative holiday season, then the incentive is to do that. However, the price comes at alienating a segment of the fan base. I have seen people already threaten piracy (NOTE: I also don't approve, it's just what some others have said). I hope someone here at Obsidian can at least comment on this event. Since it has been a consistent promotion, I think my international and PC gaming friends at kotorfanfic, and otherwise, deserve an explanation. Sincerely, JediQB Moderator www.kotorfanfic.com

I see the back and forth about whether there will be romances or not in Kotor 2 here, and I am inclined to believe that there will be opportunities for romances. However, I would just like to put forth that for me, the romances were one of the most addictive parts of the game. I looked forward to each time I could chat with Bastila, trying to thaw out the ice princess a little more. I help out at the kotorfanfic.com site, and almost every story includes the male or female romance options. It is amazing to see the diferent types of inspiration people have drawn from a pixelated flirtaton. If Obsidian can work more nuances into romances - such as there being more than one choice for romances, or you being able to affect the alignment of your significant other, that would be awesome. But please don't lose what worked so well. I have confidence in these guys though. I've heard nothin' but good about them (a little kissing up never hurt, right? )
