How the **** do I kill the two bounty hunters as Atton?
|
EDIT: nm, I ended up running around until one of them decided to leave me alone, allowing me to kill them individually. MUCH easier.

With regards to graphics, Obsidian tries to achieve more with some things, which make it look quite nice. They put more details in the battle scenes as well, so if you ever have a battle with many people (which you will, trust me), then it will lag. The story is probably worse, since I found your choices (and influence with other characters) that you made at the beginning of the game, didn't really make that much of a difference with the end of the game. Gameplay is the same though, with very tiny amounts of fine tuning. There isn't so much of a back-story with each character as in KotOR, so don't expect that. I like the different worlds better than in KotOR, they seem larger. If you don't buy KotOR, you do miss a big part of the story. Revan, Malak, Korriban, etc. etc.

I found the interface to be a bit streamlined from the original. The biggest help is the change to datapads - when you collect one from a corpse, it now pops up in a window large enough that it's readable. Very little scrolling is required for them. I like the plot, if possible, even better - many of the moral choices actually feel like choices, rather than just "ooh, do I want to play a bully or a nice good person?" It's not always clear what the light-side choice is, even.

Wooot!! I hadn't played for a while, so I picked it up again and beat the game! Very nice ending  .
spoiler(highlight to read):
I was light side, so at the end, I asked about my friends rather than say I want to be like Revan and stay behind. Very cool stuff Kreia talked about.
It was hilarious when she said if you were expecting some information that would shake you to your core, you won't get it. That was such a nice tip to the first game  .
And whoa..  , I didn't know Mandalore was Canderous from the first game!! Should have clicked, sinch Carth was Admiral (should have seen more of him, IMO).
Also nice to hear that Revan went out to Sith space to try to kill the Sith once and for all, and he had to leave 'her' behind. 'Her', obviously being Bastilla, which was cool. Though you had to play the first game to realize it.
Btw, when you asked Kreia about the Mandalorians and she said they would die out millenia later which the shell of their armor, worn by a shell of a man, destroyed by Jedi, did anyone else think of VADER? His armor looks kind of like Mandalorian armor, covering every bit of him. He was a shell of a man after being beaten by Obi Won. And he was destroyed by Jedi, Luke. Interesting thought, I think.
And I really liked the fact that Kreia's real goal wasn't to rule the Empire and manipulating you into it, but getting you to kill ALL the Jedi and Sith in Republic space, starting over, if you will. And destroying the Force (which your character won't do, which means Kreia failed in what she wanted to do with you). More like a Bond supervillian, rather than those silly Empire domination types. The Force runs all our lives and I want to free people from having the Force deny free will... further cementing Kreia as the most Ayn Rand character in ANY video game ever.
And I don't know if there will be a sequal with the character in this game. That would require going into Sith space and leaving the good parts about exploring the Republic.

I think the loot system is slightly broken, too. You get REALLY good loot, and it's pretty random. I got two of Exar Kun's light battle suits off of corpses on the final planet. And you get way too many lightsabers. |
:shrug:
The stuff I used was set well before the final planet. All the armor and sabers were just occupying extra spots in my inventory and nothing more.

I need something different. Maybe I'll try to solo that game. Not much of a challenge though. Nothing like soloing Baldur's Gate 2 (which I still haven't done- one of these days...). But then you miss out on the largest part of the game.
Maybe I'll try a game with Mission all the way through. She sucks so bad... That could be a challenge. |
Yeah its tricky in that respect. Because a large part of the fun in KOTOR is the interaction between your own party, and the things you discover about them all.
Whats the name of the little droid thing again? you could try alternating between him + Mission, its bound to make it more difficult - might not be much fun though?

You find out what happened to Revan sooner or later though.
