In all the pictures we can see ok kotor 2, there are only fights. And it seems quite dark. Will it be interaction? Will there be nice and quiet place on every planet like atho city, jedi academy on dantoine..... without any fights?

Well the game is supposed to be darker than KotOR1.

Yes, the Devs have said that it is going to be much darker.

 

The pictures were taken from the demo Obsidian presented in E3. They said that demo does not have anything to do with game. They were just showing off some of the cosmetic changes to the engine (like robes).

 

So I wouldn't worry about having a few quiet places every now and then. After all, there is a story that needs to unfold, and I doubt that it would be represented through a bunch of lightsaber fights.

Yes. KOTOR 2 is indeed supposed to be darker than the original. After all, the Sith have nearly taken over the galaxy, so what do you expect? Dantooine will be back as a planet you can travel to, only it will pretty much be a smoldering graveyard this time around (as Darth Malak destroyed the surface of the planet, or at least the Jedi Enclave/Academy). You can also visit Telos, which is being reconstructed after its brutal bombing by Darth Malak. So KOTOR 2 will be a lot more sinister than its predecessor. However, I do think there will be quiet places like Ahto City.

It can't be all that much darker. Besides we can always adjust the gamma, brightness, and the contrast.

[Guest Dante Qel-Droma]

You know what we mean.

:D

[Meshugger]

Even if the whole setting of the game will be darker, i do hope that there will be a planet that feels more like a sanctuary (maybe it's parts of Dantooine that weren't destroyed by the Sith attack, but anyhow).

[Dereth]

Perhaps the Jedi on Dantooine constructed some kind of bomb shelter underground or something.

[Maria Caliban]

The theme of the game might be darker but I there's no reason to assume that there will be no quiet places and no areas that are combat free.

In one of the videos offered up on gamespot.com, there is a lucasarts rep who clearly states that during E3 they would show (not exact quote), "Three areas. One early on in the game, one towards the middle, and one closer to the end."

 

It may just be that these are levels in the game.
