|
Who else is looking forward to this game? It looks so great.
Availability: Xbox: 12/04 PC: 2/05
Genre: RPG
Platform: XBox, PC
ESRB: Rating Pending
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 faced with the galaxy's 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.
Developed by Obsidian Entertainment, the development house founded by members of the Fallout, Icewind Dale, Baldur's Gate, Dark Alliance, and Planescape: Torment teams

Sweet. I'm looking forward. Also sweet that you get to keep the Ebon Hawk. Do you get to start out as a Jedi this time?

I don't know if you keep the Ebon Hawk. If you do, thats cool. Yes you start off as a Jedi with rudimetnary powers. They grow over the course of the game.

^But in that last pic, the Ebon Hawk is sitting there. And I still have to find the foru maps to get to the Star Forge.

I think its just making a cameo but I could be wrong. It would be cool if you got to keep it though.
You need help with KOTOR?

The villain in this game can't beat Malak, though.  Darth Malak was awesome. Revan was more awesome, though. Which is why Malak died, I guess

I so wish the KOTOR series would be released onto PS2...
I was torn between getting a PS2 and an XBOX..PS2 had the prospects of San Andreas but XBOX has KOTOR and now KOTOR2. In the end I settled on a PS2 but now...I'm wondering, should I have gotten an XBOX?
Getting it on PC is out of the question since my computer is too old 
It looks amazing, esspecially for a Star Wars geek such as moi lol.

SPOILERS
| Quote: | Mira
A bounty hunter scout who combs the Republic and the Outer Rim for anyone and anything with a price on its head, Mira reels them in and cashes them out. While driven by a mercenary need for cash, she avoids contract killing. In the past, she has killed only in self-defense, and even then reluctantly.
Mira comes equipped with bounty hunter-specific weaponry, including a versatile wrist-mounted rocket launcher that allows her to target a single opponent with concussion or tranquilizer darts, or decimate hordes of enemies with buster or ion rockets-the ideal way to level the playing field when you're outnumbered.
Darth Sion
His body has been torn and knitted back together into a patchwork of mutilated flesh. His skeleton has been shattered and meticulously rebuilt. Darth Sion is a Sith Lord in eternal pain, his broken body held together by sheer force of will. Only his hatred and the power of the dark side keep him alive.
Sion is exceedingly difficult to kill-his mastery over his own battered body has lent him supernatural vitality, and his enduring agony has given him a threshold for pain and bodily harm far beyond that of a normal human. Or a Jedi.
Sion leads a sect of Sith assassins sent to wipe out the Jedi Order; his path and the player's will inevitably cross. Like most of the Sith, he is cold, calculating and brutal, delighting in the pain and suffering he inflicts.
Atton Rand
Disaster follows Atton Rand wherever he goes. While his primary talent is cheating death just long enough to stumble into the next crisis, Rand is also a skilled pilot, mechanic, gambler and liar. He thinks of self-preservation before all else; barring that, his most pressing concern is finding the next cantina with a Pazaak game. Initially imprisoned on Peragus, he is one of the first companions the player encounters.
Rand is a solid fighter. He possesses a wide range of armor and weapon proficiencies and non-combat skills, while his preservation instinct actually makes him stronger the more dire the situation becomes. So long as another party member is standing, Rand cannot be knocked down, and he will stave off unconsciousness and keep fighting if he has party support. This survival instinct also makes Rand very difficult to stun, paralyze or poison.
Kreia
The elderly mentor Kreia forms a powerful telepathic bond with the player, determined to help him rediscover the ways of the Force. She is, in fact, quite willing to sacrifice herself if it means the player will survive and reconnect with his teachings. Throughout the game, Kreia will teach the player new ways to listen to the Force, permitting him to gain new powers and abilities.
When she is an active party member, Kreia gives everyone an earned experience bonus. Even better, the unique bond she shares with the player allows him to Force Chain attacks and defense. Any Force Power cast on Kreia or the player will be automatically applied to the other party members as well.
T3-M4
His chassis dented and scored by blaster fire, T3 looks as if he's narrowly missed a proton core explosion or two. This battered astromech droid is the first character to appear in The Sith Lords. His opening mission is to repair the Ebon Hawk and pilot it to safety before it's crushed into space dust in the wilds of the Peragus asteroid field. Once docked at the Peragus mining facility, however, a much greater threat confronts the crew.
The talkative T3 communicates only with clicks and beeps, but he's got a grand story to tell and plays a pivotal role in the conflicts to come. He is an expert in security, demolitions, computers and mechanical repair, acting as a portable workbench for the player. The player uses him to break down equipment into its component parts, clearing inventory and assembling more powerful weapons and items.
Bao-Dur
When the Mandalorian Wars began, the Sith forces struck the Outer Rim Iridonian colonies with a vengeance. As a result, many Iridonians were the first to join the Republic's war effort. One of them was a gifted young mechanic named Bao Dur, eager to lend his technical expertise to the cause. During his years of wartime service, he was instrumental in producing new weapons, shields and other technology for use in battle against the Mandalorians. When the wars ended, Bao Dur drifted, scarred by the countless atrocities he had witnessed. He found purpose again assisting the Outer Rim rebuilding effort.
A skilled mechanic and architect, Bao Dur is able to build or repair almost anything, even a mechanical replacement for his own arm, lost near the end of the Wars. This mechanized appendage is incredibly strong, making him a formidable opponent in a fight. It also has the power to destroy force fields and shields, rendering enemies vulnerable to conventional attacks.
Disciple
The disappearance of the Jedi drove many explorers to search for them and attempt to discover their fate. One such seeker is a lone Disciple working for the Republic. He has traversed the galaxy in search of Jedi and any trace of their teachings, much of which were lost when Saul Karath bombed Dantooine and turned the planet's skies to ash.
Why the Disciple seeks the Jedi so fervently, or what he hopes to learn from their ancient teachings is not known. While he shares the distrust much of the galaxy feels for the Order in the wake of the Jedi Civil War, he is nevertheless drawn to them, and is acutely aware that their skill is needed if the Republic is to be salvaged from destruction.
The Disciple is a skilled healer. In addition to making medpacs and other healing items, he functions as a portable medical workbench, capable of breaking down items into their chemical components so that more valuable items may be made.
Visas Marr
A Dark Jedi Miraluka from the Mid-Rim world of Katarr, Visas Marr is the lone surviving member of her species. Gifted with the ability to see only through the Force, she perceives the world through Force patterns and flux, allowing her to see the true nature of her enemies, and her own true nature as well. This power is called Force Sight. When looking across The Sith Lords landscape, Marr can see through obstacles to the sentients waiting in ambush beyond.
When her homeworld was obliterated by the Sith, Marr was claimed by one of the greatest Sith Lords as his apprentice and slave. Why she was spared when her people were slain is unknown. Her enslavement has broken her will and corroded her spirit; she is deep in the thrall of the dark side.
Echani Handmaiden
The mysterious Echani Handmaidens, 5 sisters, have faithfully served the Jedi Order for years, acting as scouts, soldiers and missionaries. Vowing not to learn the Jedi way after the destruction wrought by the Jedi Civil War, they have maintained a galaxy-wide vigil, watching for re-emergent Sith or fallen Jedi. However, they too have vanished, their fate unknown.
The Echani pride themselves on physical combat. Well-versed in hand-to-hand and melee weapon techniques, they are lethal fighters, able to shrug off damage with deft blocks or by anticipating and evading their opponents' strikes. The Echani believe that a person's true nature is only revealed through combat; thus, their highly stylized, ritualistic fighting is a kind of dialogue between adversaries, testing their enemies' spirit and resolve. It is said that the greatest Echani warriors can predict the outcome of a conflict several hours, weeks and in rare cases, even years in advance simply by knowing the nature and numbers of the enemies they face.
hk47
A self-sentient killing machine, it is obvious merely from its menacing appearance that HK-47 is far more than an ordinary combat droid. With a devastating arsenal of high-powered weaponry, a ruthless and single-minded pursuit of its termination targets, and a pre-programmed disregard for all organic life, this Hunter-Killer model is one of the most dangerous assassins in the galaxy.
Rumored to have been created by Czerka Corp to eliminate the heads of rival corporations, HK-47 is quite capable of laying waste to an entire building in an effort to dispose of a single target, as it has demonstrated on more than one occasion in the past. This wanton carnage, combined with the tendency of the droid's previous owners to come to rather gruesome ends, has led most civilized planets to issue explicit bans on all HK-model assassin droids.
But on the dangerous worlds of the Outer Rim, having a merciless, flame-throwing engine of destruction at your side can be quite useful... until it decides you're the next target. |

Those aren't really spoilers, considering you can get them from the site, but hey, whatever. But I cannot WAIT until the 2nd one comes out for Computer, even though I still need to beat the 1st one, which I'm not even CLOSE to doing

I put them as spoilers for the people who didn't want to know each detail or did not look in the site. 
I've played a little. Pretty good so far. Confusing....but good.

After having this game for over a month now, I've got this game memorized pretty good, and I can finish most of the side quests. Well, sort of. I played light side once and dark side several times. If anyone needs help, come talk to me. I'm gonna go play light side again.

Get this...I hated the PC(Player Character) heads so much, that I just couldn't play with them. So, the first thing I did was download the KOTOR Save Game Editor(If you don't already have this marvellous tool - Download it. Now.) and changed my characters appearance to some interesting alien. Suddenly, I was so much more motivated to play it, and beat it.

The Save Game Editor allows you the change the appearance of all party members, and the player, once they join your party. You can also use it to edit your characters' stats, level, inventory etc. etc. So, some things you can do with it is defenitely cheating. I just use it to edit appearances, though. Atton suits incredibly well as a Twi'Lek, actually.

Guys, check out Prime's stormtrooper mod!
You guessed it - it replaces the hideous Sith Troopers with the Imperial Stormtroopers that we all love. And look at the quality.  Unfortunately, it isnt quite done for TSL(The Sith Lords) yet, but it will be released on pcgamemods.com soon, according to Prime himself. And the mod is available there for the original KOTOR, if you want it. I just can't wait for him to be done with this thing. The Sith Troopers are just damn ugly.

Heh looks pretty sweet. Never thought I'd see a Stormtrooper with a Vibrosword I totally agree about the Sith Troopers. I'd be embarrassed to be seen wearing that thing. Thanks again for telling me about the Save Game Editor. My character's all but perfect now, with all skills and attributes set to max and every feat and force power Godlike. Kinda funny how my character can go into a Wookie Frenzy The only problem I have with it is raising my maximum force power. I also can't do anything to my party members, I keep getting an error message. I'll probably only give my character everything every now and then, since there's not much to gain throughout the game, but it's still pretty cool having him be so powerful
