Stargate: 2000 Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Taken directly from the October issue of XBN magazine. Mind Your Maker One thing is for certain: your hero is not Revan, protagonist from the first Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic, and so much be created from scratch. The character-creation screens for Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic II - The Sith Lords will be instantly recognizable "The only difference between genius and stupidity is genius has its limits!" - Albert Einstein.

kopolee13 Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Sounds Sweet! The first level of this game already seems better then most of the worlds in KOTOR. I can't wait to see what HK-47 did... B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salsabettis Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Looks like good fun. I hope the Revan part was a false spoiler because that is kinda lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sickboycp Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Of course, XBN only played the first area of the game. There might be more hints and conversations as the game goes on and on, so the picture will be complete by the time you find Revan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Nuke Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 For some reason I feel that they're trying to kill off HK. Which is something you don't want to do when making sequels, as has been proved with movies. KOTOR 2 must be completed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOTORFanactic Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Hurrah, at last confirmation that HK-47 is in the game. Thx for that info stargate. This is definately the best info on the game we hav had in a longo time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is something you don't want to do when making sequels, as has been proved with movies. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think it's smart. Obsidian is trying to make their own game. What better way than to have a shocking fate for one of the main NPCs of the first game (and probably the most well-known by the casual fan) It allows Obsidian to say "This is our game and not Bioware's) and it sets the stage for some uneasiness regarding the fate of other NPCs from the first game. We'd be wondering: Are they gonna kill Bastila? Or Canderous? Or Carth? (Please?) Makes for some compelling storytelling, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOTORFanactic Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 You must be able to choose if Bastila died in the first game. So it depends on PC choice if Bastila appears in the second. But if they r truly trying to kill off HK, what would happen to Revan, or has happened, or to any of the other old crew for that matter. Really makes u think.

Laozi Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 I wouldn't assume that, I'm sure they have a pretty good reason for him to be there, maybe to kill Sion.

KOTORFanactic Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 (edited) Laozi Try using the edit fuction Dont think HK will get killed off in KOTOR2. Possible, but i dont think so. Revan could possibly be killed off. Not saying he will but its possible. Edited October 1, 2004 by KOTORFanactic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargate: 2000 Posted October 1, 2004 Author Share Posted October 1, 2004 umm I was wondering how did you guys get on the point that something was going to HK? I mean in my first post it never said anything about something happening to HK other than him causing trouble for the Peragus mining facility.

sickboycp Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 They mention in the article that something involving HK-47 has a "megaton bomb" like effect on the game. The reviewer also compares it to the Revan revelation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargate: 2000 Posted October 1, 2004 Author Share Posted October 1, 2004 I belive you are refering to the side notes made by the author of the article I didn't include them since I had already quoted them in privious posts but I will since you mentioned them Kreia: Jedi of vision? The clues are there when players meet the elderly Jedi Kreia in the morgue on the mining planet of Peragus in KOTOR:TSL's opening moments, she's wearing a hood that covers he eyes. breif peeks at her orbs seem to indicate, well, there's something wrong: they seem to be fogged over, although it may have been some slight graphical glitch. Most importantly, she seems to use the force to see, peering into areas blocked from normal sight. is Kreia blind? Perhaps. LucasArts isn't telling, and there is definitive evidence either proving or disproving the theory on the whole of the Lord's first planets. Rise of the robots Needless to say, both utility droid T3-M4 and protocol droid HK-47, non-player characters from the original game return in a spectactular way in KOTOR:TSL. This time, however, developer Obsidian is putting special emphasis on the droids, ensuring they'll have plenty of time in the spotlight Players will have to control T3-M4 for extended periods on Peragus, unlocking many areas inaccessible to the main character. As for the meatbag-loathing HK-47 - his role on Peragus and the megaton-bomb-like impact it has are something player will be talking about for years to come.

I mean in my first post it never said anything about something happening to HK other than him causing trouble for the Peragus mining facility. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's just a feeling on how the article is written. For odd Reason HK comes off as a bad guy( he is anyway) for this first part, meaning he either attacks you or something else. Perhaps he does something heroic so that the party can escape. Either, if he does die, it's bad to kill a popular character like HK. So I hope I'm wrong. KOTOR 2 must be completed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
