YAY! Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic II: The Sith Lords! Can't wait. And Republic Commando looks awesome too.

 

Yup yup. KOTOR's coming the Mac too.

I tried playing the first one but gave up after 30 minutes when I couldn't figure out what the HELL was going on. Video games these days suck.

 

Yay!! I can get fired from Nike now for calling out to stay home and play KOTOR 2! Wait, I have to fight with Gary over the game.

 

Borrrrrring.

 

heaven in a sweet little box. This one looks (at this stage) a little more open ended, there finally getting closer, and closer, and closer to a complete open ended free star wars RPG...for the xbox at least

 

It's gonna keep me busy!

 

It's gonna keep me fired!

 

My only hope is that they try using more of a variety of "alienspeak" for the different species. Ever notice how the same voice and the same sounds are used for various conversations with Twi'leks? I noted that identical sounds were used for convos with both Aqualishes and Ithorians. Repeated replays will allow you to catch this.

They occasionally vary it(case in point: the Rodian Gluupor during the Manaan trial sequence), but I think they should do the same with the other alien races in the sequel.

Anyone else notice this?

I noticed it the day I spent four hours playing it. It was quite annoying, so hopefully someone complained about it and they fixed that problem.
