Knights of the Republic: Sith Lord - Screens

[Zer0Soul]

"KotOR 2 is said to be taking place 5 years after the events in KotOR, while the republic is rebuilding after the war with Malak and his Sith legion. At this point, the republic is in shambles, and the Jedi are no better off with their secret training facilty on Dantooine in ruins as well.

Your character from KotOR returns, along with HK-47; however your old character is not playable in KotOR 2, and the Ebon Hawk is also said to be included in KotOR 2. "

Bioware really hit the bullseye with the engine for Neverwinter Nights. While NWN might not have been the greatest game (though I liked the expansions alot more), KotOR is awesome and KotoR2 probably will be too. Much like the Infiniti Engine that preceeded it, this engine (don't know the name of it) is very flexible and allows for alot of possiblity and depth - it really jives with the D&D and modded D&D ed 3/3.5 rulesets as well. The engine also already allows for some really sweet graphics, KotOR features the best graphics I've ever seen in an RPG, and they don't even need to really upgrade it for KotOR2... just add some more designs, variety, etc. It also means that since the engine, graphics and core rules are basically set down, they can focus all their attention on quality of writing, quests, world-building, voice acting, and all the little details that set the great RPG's apart from all the rest. I'm eagerly awaiting this game, and urge everyone who hasn't played KotOR to give it a try.

As for the system, it looks like it's probably gonna be just like KotOR... X-Box and PC. Just like last time, they're probably going to have a period of "limited exclusivity" on the X-Box before the PC version comes out, though I'm not entirely sure on the details.

Yes, this is a true sequal to the game. It is a stand-alone and not a addon. Also many of the games you listed are for pc too.

Rumor is these shots are for pc. That Bioware this time is going to realize the pc version first followed by the xbox version. (I dont know about that). Yet, guess will have to wait until E3.

LOL. They had hooded robes in Jedi Knight 2 that was released in like 2000. This game does look good judging by the poor quality scans. I should actually play the first one. I created a file but never played for more than 5 minutes.

No, they didnt have hooded ROBES, just hoods that reborn were wearing. Of course there is that fanmade Palpatine & Darth Sidious model to download which kicked a$$.

But in KOTOR like game, in a real RPG! My sithlord walking to a shop, face barely even showing under the shadow, force chokes the shopkeeper for not making good deals. THATS what i call a great atmosphere!

"LucasArts has released new details on its PC / Xbox RPG Star Wars Knight of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords.

Five years after the events from the award winning Knights of the Old Republic, the Sith Lords have hunted the Jedi to the edge of extinction and are on the verge of crushing the Old Republic. With the Jedi Order in ruin, the Republic's only hope is a Jedi Knight struggling to reconnect with the Force and is faced with the galaxies most dire decision: To follow the light or succumb to the dark side.

* The Sith Lords is the next chapter to Knights of the Old Republic; winner of more than 35 "Game of The Year Awards" featuring an all-new and perilous storyline set approximately 4,000 years before Star Wars Episode I.
* All-new Force powers, weapons, locations, characters and classes add to the richness of this next epic installment.
* Choose from three different classes of Jedi to start the game with access to specific Jedi abilities.
* Choose the light or the dark side of the Force based on your characters actions as you progress through the story. The choices you make not only affect your character, but also those in your party, and those who may join you in your quest.
* Cameo appearances from memorable characters of the first game enhance the continuity and story flow through this unique time period.
* Additional content will be available for The Sith Lords via Xbox Live.
* Developed by Obsidian Entertainment, the development house founded by members of the Fallout, Icewind Dale, Baldur's Gate, Dark Alliance, and Planescape: Torment teams." - The Magic Box

"The Sith Lords is set 5 years after the original. As the Empire Strikes Back was to A New Hope, the stage is darker this time around and things are not quite so "cheery." The galaxy is in disarray after the climactic battle between Darth Malak and Revan in the last story, and appropriate enough for the title, there are several Sith Lords hunting the last of the Jedi. Apparently they're very efficient, as your character is now the last known Jedi... well, ex-Jedi now, and is an exile after having fought in the legendary Mandalorian Wars. These wars were a large part of the dark-sider Canderous Ordo's history in the first game and will now of course be explained even further. Of course, your ex-Jedi status makes you a target, and that's where the story begins."

"unlike in the original game, which featured a large section where your character trained from force-sensitive wannabe to the first rank of Jedi in a Rocky-esque sequence, there will be no similar events in The Sith Lords. In the sequel, you begin as one of the 3 Jedi classes (Consular, Sentinel or Guardian), will gradually re-gain your lost force sensitivity, re-acquire new force powers and optionally hunt for your lightsaber."

"# Jedi Master: (Consular-type) Regenerates force power more quickly, and can inspire companions and followers.
# Jedi Watchman: (Sentinel-type) Generally super abilities with the force and control over the lightsaber.
# Jedi Weapon Master: (Guardian-type) Lightsaber deflection and pain threshold increased, and does more saber damage.

Dark Side Prestige Classes include:

# Sith Assassin: Mastery of stealth and camouflage.
# Sith Lord: Mastery of corrupting the wills of others.
# Sith Marauder: Mastery of weapons and increased pain threshold.

It is unknown what type of trial the Jedi will have to go through in order to achieve this ranking, but likely (-wishful thinking on my part) an involving quest.

The Sith Lords features 7 new fully explorable planets, one of which you've already visited in the last game but will likely not recognize in its current state: Dantooine. Another new planet is Telos, the one Carth in the original game hailed from. Expect to see cameos and back-story filler from Carth, T3-M4, HK-47 (of course) and a slew of others who survived the last story. So does that mean Revan will make an appearance? This has been confirmed, but his/her story kept secret. One thing I wonder is whether they will make two different Revans, one of each sex for continuity sake."

"Since many of the old characters will be returning in some form or another (but not playable), what do we know about the new companions? At this time, only a few of their names. Krea is an older female Jedi (counterpoint to Jolee?) who offers aid in the beginning, and is apparently staying hidden from the Sith. T3-M4, the R2-D2-like robot from the first game will lead you through the tutorial sequence. Finally, Atton Rand is a roguish character, said to be similar to Han Solo from the movies. In all, you'll have 10 potential party members to pool from."


Screens and more to follow..
