yeah i think thats cool, but an exiled jedi....even cooler, you dont start with a lightsaber though. and no powers but its still cool that you were a jedi. i think that at the end of the game thers going to be some connection with revan. the game developer was very vague on the details as if he was leaving something for us to ponder.
All good ideas except for number three. It sounds cool, but think about it--in the original KOTOR, when you reached the end of the game as a dark sider, you were called Darth Revan. So, depending on the plot of this one, it may or may not work.

Well, the subtitle of the game is The Sith Lords, so I figure theres gonna be a lot more bad guys. I just thought it would be nice if as you progressed in the dark side you did so under a master and he would give you a darth title at some point in the game.
The whole point of most RPGs is to make you the hero (or villian, as the case may be), it would be boring if you only got to be a mundane, mediocre character. Earning a Sith title would up the ante for a sequel pretty well for me.
C'mon though guys and girls, what other cool stuff would you like to see in the game? What other powers, dark or light?
One thing I'm hoping for is better animations. Most players had a favorite attack (power attack, sharpshooter, etc) and it got really boring watching the same attack animations over and over. A little more variety and randomness in the attack animations would be nice.

Your character has been exiled and returns from the outer rim of the galaxy at the beginning of the game. It seems a little too much like the first game if the character has amnesia again. I expect more from ex-Black Isle guys, since they usually concentrate as much on writing and story as gameplay.
Current screenshots were taken using character models from the first game, as they arent done with the new models yet. As far as graphics go, don't expect a big leap. They are using the same engine as the first game, although they said they were gonna squeeze as much goodness out of it as they can.

The plot repetition is indeed worrying- it's like this is the only way they can get their Light/Dark side in whilst skipping basic Padawan training. Only convinces me further that it should not work like that...
Some proper Dark Side training for those who want it would be a good thing, and broader animations would indeed be nice.
But I SUSPECT, from these early indications, that this may end up being rather more of the same, than enough to justify a full sequel...

Obsidian>Bioware
So I'm hoping the sequel serves up some goodness from a gameplay and story standpoint, if not from a technical one. I'd don't think they need to stray too far from the original. Just make sure its a good, original story and tweak the gameplay mechanics a bit.
I hate to say it Ush, but I doubt the branching paths will suit you. I'd love to be able to pick either dark or light at the beginning of the game, and have multiple story branches from there, but its just not going to happen. It'll probably be similar to the first game, except your party members will actually react to your 'alignment' this time.
One thing I have noticed about most of the games these guys have done (Fallout, Planescape, Baldurs Gate, etc.) is that they really like to give the user a lot of choices and make those choices affect the outcome of the game. Bioware is much more linear in their game making.
I still have high hopes for this game, if only because of Obsidian.

i'm not sure if i like the idea tat your party members react to your "alignment"......in the 1st game when u fell completely fell to the darkside u had to kill your party memebers who were on the light side i loved that coz it followed the story line so good made perfect sense and i never expected anything like that to happen
