According to the mags preview you will start the game mysteriously unconscious and adrift aboard the badly battle damaged Ebon Hawk. A mining ship happens upon your drifting ship, and miners take you back to their colony for medical treatment. You awake in the infirmary to find everyone dead except for one character who will join your party and act as a guide. The details of just how you ended up on Revan's ship, who attacked you, and what became of Revan are among the many mysteries to be revealed as the epic story unfolds.

 

The preview also goes on to state that there will be 3 Sith Lords in the game which includes Darth Sion. Here is a list of the rest of the stuff revealed in the preview. You will be able to tell the game how you played KOTOR and that will effect which characters from the first game make cameos. You will have a two party system in some sections of the game that will require you to switch back and forth between parties to accomplish missions. There will be a hand to hand fighting system in the game similar to Kung Fu. There will be a total of 60 evironments to explore in the game which range from a Sith tomb to a star ship in space. There will be two new beasts introduced in the game which are the Cannock and Boma Beast. The game will offer 10,000 lines of spoken dialogue and 40 hours of gameplay. The games music will feature a full hour of origional music recorded by a full symphonic orchestra. Finally the game will be live aware and will have DLC exclusive to Xbox live.

 

Edit: The OXM holiday preview said there will be silver, blue, green, purple, red, orange, and yellow lightsaber colors all of which will have darker and lighter variations. I Personally think there are some other colors that Obsidian is keeping secret.

 

 

Sorry if this is old news to some of you. I did a search and couldn't find this info anywhere else on the boards.

 

Cheers!

Thanks

B) I like, I like.

Sweet! So you actually can control both parties! I always assumed it meant that your NPC's 'become unavailable' since their doing their own thing, and that you'll only be able to select them again at a later point in the game.

But this is way is definitely way cooler....you'll have to keep both parties balanced with a melee tank, master blaster & force user. *salivates at prospect*

Good god man! Let's hope we won't have to beome freakin' Masters of Ter

Kung Fu? That's new. And hopefully those 60 new locations will be big ones, since KotOR had almost 80 locations.

Finally the game will be live aware and will have DLC exclusive to Xbox live.

:angry: *Gets out his old RPGs and borrows the magic staff of +3 pissed off*

Well I'm pissed now.

I hope there's really more than 3 Sith Lords........

 

And I am glad to hear orange is now a basic color.

Is orange the colour for slightly evil Sentinals?.

 

Come to think do the prestige jedi classes have colours asociate with them like the regular classes?

 

Weapon Master = purple

Watchman = light blue

Master = light green

I posted this a while back.

its old but thanx anywayz

It's 40 hours which is longer than KOTOR so I can only assume the areas are larger. What I'm more interested in is how the hell they're going to include Kung Fu in it. Sounds interesting.

I don't want to start a flame war or anything but

 

If its true then its only fair that the XBox users should get first crack at the DLs this time around since all you PC users got it first last time.

KotOR came out on the Xbox six months before the PC.

 

Who got first crack again?

What the hell are you all arguing about. The DLC was one worthless planet and a couple of extra weapons that people probably didn't even use. I mean really what is the beef?

Argh!  :angry:  DLC for Xbox b4 pc! that's not good......... 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

and why not?

 

Anyone with a PC got the DLC first last time and the Xbox users had to wait for it to finally be released for us to use, But I didn't see anywhere in the first post where it is stated that there wont be DLC for PC as well when the game is released it just said that there would be XBox exclusive DLC.
