Craftsman Posted May 1, 2004 Posted May 1, 2004 I have decided to make a Unoffical FAQ on KOTOR 2 : The Sith Lords. I will be regularly updating this to keep in touch with current information. When is KOTOR 2 set? KOTOR 2 is set 5 years after the original. The Republic is scattered from the aftermath of the Jedi Civil war and the scourge of Malak. As a result the Jedi order also ceases to exist. Sith Assassins are hunting the last of the Jedi, the one who they believe will determines the outcome of the galaxy - you. Who is my Character? You are a veteran of the Mandalorian war who was in exile from the recent events. You are the last known Jedi left and it is up to you to decide a future for yourself and the Jedi order. Will the choices that I made in KOTOR influence KOTOR 2? Yes. Early in the game, conversations will take place in which you will instruct the game, the outcome of your choices in the first game. The game will recognize this and will make the necessary changes in the dialogue/story line. Will I see the Ebon Hawk again? Yes. You find the Hawk mysteriously abandoned on the asteroid mining facility of Peragus. Will I start of with force powers and a lightsaber? No. Although there is no need for training, being in exile has left you out of touch with the force. As you progress though the game, you strength in the force grows stronger and you acquire a light saber. Are there any new classes? Yes, they are called Prestige Classes. They include Sith Lord, Sith Marauder, Sith Assassin, Jedi Master, Jedi Watchmen and Jedi weapon master. More classes may be included. How will my choices affect my party members? Like in the first game in doing bad/good things you will receive praise/disappointment from your team members. However KOTOR 2 takes this one step further. Some companions may idolize you and copy what you do, while some others will go the opposite way. This will have an effect on the story line. Also there will be characters who will not join your party unless you are of a particular alignment, raising the value of playing through KOTOR II as both Light and Dark Side. How many planets are there? 7 worlds including Dantooine, Telos (Carths home world), Onderon, and Duxon. Will combat and interface have major makeovers? No. Both were well designed in the first game with no need to change. However the Devs will be working on improving and refining both these issues. For example a quick key will make in much easier to change weapons during combat, instead of having to go though your inventory and searching. Will upgrading on the workbench be more developed in this game? Definitely. Much more items and upgrade options will be available making way for more powerful items. Will there be a different graphics engine in KOTOR 2? No, however the Devs will make tweak the KOTOR engine by making improvements to lighting, weather and slicker character and fighting animations. Will more combat feats be included? Not only are more feats included, but the animations representing them will vary as well. If a character is weak in a feat, they might attack clumsily and miss sometimes, where if a character is experienced in a feat the attack animation will make the character look more swift and powerful when attacking. This is to give the player a more satisfying sense of progression. Will I see any old characters from the first game? Yes. most old characters from the old game will be seen/mentioned if either alive or dead. However don
Hydrogen Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 This thread has been chopped to allow for new items to not get lost. the old thread is here for anyone who wants to refer to it. The main thing that should be pointed out, and has been questioned from this FAQ is that the US X-Box release is in December, everyone else has to wait until February 2005 for the official releases.

Archmonarch Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 3. For the folks following along at home, Obsidian won't be doing Xbox live content for K2, correct? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah. The plan had been to do it, but there were a number of last minute technical problems that came up a couple months back that were going to consume a lot of our development time to resolve. There were also other issues outside of technical reasons that resulted in the decision being made to not create any Xbox live content. -Akari <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had

Stargate: 2000 Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 Neither the HK model nore the wookie have been confirmed. Also it hasn't been confirmed that either Marr or handmaiden are going to be the apprentice. Another thing Onderon and Dxun are listed as one planet on the offical site and The silver armor guy has been comfirmed as beign THE Mandalore. So the new list sits as listed below. Planets: Peragus Station (A mining faculty) Telos (Carth's homeworld) Nar Shadda (Once was a place of luxury but turns into a criminal haven) Korriban (Sith home world) Onderon/Dxun (Jungle like planet) Dantoine (Remains of the Jedi academy) Citedal Station The Harbinger The Party: The PC Atton Rand (Carth like guy) Kreia (Someone similar to Joole but a girl) Boa Dur (Zabark with round metal robot) Mira (Female bounty hunter) Mandalore (silver aromor guy) T3-M4 Handmaiden Disciple Visas Marr's Villains: Darth Sion (He looks like he's about to fall apart, we know you encounter him on Peragus, in the sewers of Onderon, and on board the republic cruiser 'Harbringer') Darth Nihilis (Mask Sith Guy) Darth sith women (like the evil queen from snow white) New Force Powers: Battle Meditation Force Sight Force Clairvoyance Force Rage Force Scream Force Crush Master Heal Force Fury "The only difference between genius and stupidity is genius has its limits!" - Albert Einstein.

GhostofAnakin Posted November 11, 2004 Posted November 11, 2004 Thats a good thing. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's a good thing that XBox won't have any Live content? Or that the PC version wasn't pushed up as well? Either way, I doubt EITHER XBox nor PC users would agree since: 1-no Live content means no extras 2-PC version is exactly the same as XBox version (read Feargus' interview), so the extra time isn't for "adding content to the PC". "Console exclusive is such a harsh word." - Darque"Console exclusive is two words Darque." - Nartwak (in response to Darque's observation)
Craigboy2 Posted November 11, 2004 Posted November 11, 2004 We'are somewhat even, but two months is a long time but i don't have Xbox live so i'm not that dissapointed.

If you order the NTSC version (US Xbox) you won't have much use for it in your PAL system... - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
Rosbjerg Posted November 12, 2004 Posted November 12, 2004 Refering to the question of HK's appearence: Have anyone seen the artwork for the box? HK-47 is clearly on it alongside with T3-M4! isn't that a kind of conformation .. at least that some kind of assassination droid will appear? Fortune favors the bald.
Archmonarch Posted November 12, 2004 Posted November 12, 2004 I think it might actually be HK-50. He looks sort of silvery in color if you zoom in. And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had
envida Posted November 13, 2004 Posted November 13, 2004 also i am very confused =S when will TSL be released in the uk? of course if it is a late release than i just order from internet =D <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I wouldn't recommend it. If you order the NTSC version (US Xbox) you won't have much use for it in your PAL system... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No problem if your xbox is modded I'm ordering mine from US
