Nice...Like the screens.

Chris Parker: The number of characters that can be controlled at any one time is three, just like in KOTOR. There are quite a few characters that are available to join your party, but not all of them will be available to every player. That is, some characters will only be available to a light side character, and some only to a dark side character. The maximum number that anybody can have joined with them at any time is currently 10, but some of the mechanics for them are being tinkered with, so that might change.

 

There will be other returning characters playing various sized roles. Some are coming back in cameo-type appearances while others will be able to join your party again, just like T3. There are a few characters that simply aren't coming back because we didn't feel they would play a significant role in the story, and so we replaced them with new characters that could fill those important roles.

Hope, at last!

We'll have a much better feel on a specific release date once we achieve alpha, but we're still currently set to ship in winter. The PC and Xbox versions are at exactly the same stage right now, with the exception of a few PC-specific bugs, so we're confident that we can launch them simultaneously. We're not currently planning to release a demo for the Xbox or PC versions.

Fine with me...

seems they are saying that there just polishing things up right now until the release

 

well I say keep polishing

Wax on, wax off...

The longer they polish the happier we'll be

They're already close to alpha stage, which leaves a roughly 4-5 months of bugtesting. The december date seems more plausible now

I have one question...forgive me if it was already asked before... вut whats the maximum level the player can reach in TSL???

It'll probably be 30 unfortunately.

No one knows...

WICKED. HIGH res shots.

30, or NO CAP AT ALL, is what I heard - depending on game balance, of course.

I heard no cap. The devs want people to be able to continue to level up.

 

How else are we going to be able to take advantage of all those new feats unless they take the cap off the level system.

I heard a cap of level 30.

 

 

And the way to take advantage of all those new feats is by having you play a character a different way...not to have one character have all the feats.

I heard a cap of 30, but they were looking at removing the cap completely after they had seen how the game balanced. It looks like they're going to try to evade excessive levelling and the Army of Diablo phenomenon, but also avoid the Star Forge issue. Basically, they don't know yet - it depends on factors that are probably yet to be seen, as they haven't reached the beta stage. (but they're close)

thanx for answers:)оne more noob question for those who knows:) will I be able to start a game as a sith, or only as a jedi?

The Sith are hunting you.

You're the last Jedi they know of.

 

Pry can't join the sith at all but there's pry more the once chance at the start to start racking up DS points if you want to play as a Dark Jedi.

but there are such classes as sith marauder, assasin, etc. in the game... what about this???

Those are classes you gain later in the game based on your actions/stats. They're name pry has nothing to do with actually joining the sith.

Nothing wrong with the Sith. Fine upstanding fellows.

They're already close to alpha stage, which leaves a roughly 4-5 months of bugtesting. The december date seems more plausible now

Cool, that means TSL gets to compete with Fable for RPG of the Year. If they push it to 2005, then they compete with The Legend of Zelda and Windwaker 2 for RPG of the Year.

 

Lose/Lose situation for Obsidian.

 

But its not about the awards, its about making the fans happy.

How on Earth do people know if this game is in Alpha or Beta or whatever???

The interview says theyre almost alpha.
