Star Wars: KotOR Preview

BioWare’s upcoming Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is the subject of a new preview over at Computer Games Online today. Since it contains a lot of new information about the game, I’d definitely recommend giving it a look. Here’s a snippet:


    You’ll choose a gender in one of three classes, and jump directly into the fray in the world of the Old Republic—the Republic as it existed 4000 years before the movies. Given that the Star Wars timeline is extremely long, and they’ve had space travel for tens of thousands of years, the basic look and feel of the game will be quite similar to the films, but will also include new old things that seem to “fit” in the timeframe before the movies. The Old Republic at its height has spread throughout the galaxy and colonized a lot of planets, and there are thousands of Jedi and thousands of Sith—enough to drive the huge wars and large-scale battles that fuel the game’s main conflict. Your character will level up and will gain points to assign to different skills or feats. Gaining Force powers works in much the same way. You can then choose to advance in a skill or feat, or to begin learning a new one, with each choice you make effecting your tendency toward the Light or Dark side of the universe.
