Both
Deep Six and KOTOR FanFic
have posted an extensive E3 previews of Star Wars: Knights
Of The Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, the upcoming next game in the
acclaimed RPG series, this time from developer Obsidian Entertainment. The articles contain spoilers, so don't say you weren't
warned! :P (thanks RPGCodex). Here
is a taster:
KOTOR FanFic: You will have up to 10 choices for additional party members. Your alignment, gender, dialogue choices, and gameplay will determine who your party members actually are. You will have the opportunity to affect the alignments of your party members in this one. There will be 7 planets to visit as of now, Telos (Carth's home planet) and a much ravaged Dantooine among them. Rumours of Coruscant abound, but LA cannot comment.
DeepSix: My character was a pretty powerful Jedi, and I had plenty of droid fodder to test these abilities on. At first I decided to start hack and slashing with the lightsaber. They were standard lightsabers, so they really didn't do much damage, even though I had the range between "attack", "flurry" and "critical strike". Then I cycled through the force powers. Because the first level stuck primarily with droids, I couldn't use powers that didn't work on droids. However there was this one VERY powerful force move I ended up using a lot called "Force Storm" which works on both droids and humans, which involved calling up a sudden lighting strike from the sky that not only does a hell of a lot of damage but also attacks more then just the character you target, but also characters clustered around him (that are bad).
