Star Wars: Knights of the Old Repblic II - The Sith Lords has been out for a few hours.

Pre-ordered on May 9 2004.

Just got it.

Installing.

Shutting down IRC, MSN and all other online clients.

Disconnecting the telephone line.

Shutting off the cell phone.

Everything put on hold.

Needless to say, I won't be logging in for a while.

See you when I see you.

:w00t:

After 14 hours of gaming, only to stop for an occasional meal, I have only one thing to say:

I love this game.

I'd stay up longer and continue if I didn't have problems seeing what I type.

[SConrad]

After a few hours of sleep, I'm ready to go again.

This game just rocks so moch doesn't it SConrad.

I got it too yesterday (afternoon) and I am really enjoying it!

The NPC's are way cooler than in KotOR I in my opinion. I really didn't like Mission, Carth and Zaalbar for example.

Well, you do recognise a lot of stuff from the first game, but most of it is better in Kotor 2. I love the new personalities. Among other things.

I'll write a full review on my explorations later on.

Time for bed, again, after another ~16 hours of gaming.

[LoOk]

Dang I only played like 10 hours yet.
No more than 5 hours a day. But the weather is really bad here this weekend and there is nothing else to do.
'Carnaval' << Some sort of festival in the south of Netherland is over and tomorrow my one-week holiday is over again. Back to school..

Oh, Seb, do you really want to finish it in 4-5 days ?

There's always the dark side as well.

No, really, I do want to finish this, so I can go back to my normal life with friends, family, school, etc.

Off to play again, see you in another 14 hours or so.

[Shed]

Glad you're enjoying yourself, but since you're a little... busy, you won't get a postcard. I can't remember your address .

17 hours later - or so.

I was *this* close to finish the game, but a CTD made me realise that it might be time to get to bed.

[Feanor]

Seb, is true that Sith Lords has many bugs ?

[SConrad]

Just finished the game, expect a review later on. I'll approach that subject then.

Seb, is true that Sith Lords has many bugs ? 

 

After completing the game, I've stumbled across at least 7:

1) Once after entering a new area, I had blue cubic polygons surrounding my party members. It may have done it to creatures as well, but I'm not sure since I immediately reloaded. The problem persisted, but it went away after quitting and restarting the game.

2) Twice after entering new areas, static textures have been rendered completely invisible. Only doors, containers, creatures, etc were visible. As with 1), I had to quit and restart the game to fix the problem.

3) Swoop bikes can now "jump". Interesting addition - shame you start races in the jump position, and no matter what key you press, you can't lower yourself back to the ground (though you can do it by smashing into something sideways on). This has the advantage that you'll hardly ever hit anything, but the disadvantage that you won't be able to trigger the accelerator pads. So the early races are easy, the later ones all but impossible.

4) In the first location of a certain urbanised planet, there are a few "shady characters" standing around doing nothing, not even saying anything when you try to speak to them. Later on, in other areas of the planet, you get to recruit one of these characters, and kill the rest of them. Yet the silent versions of them are still hanging around in the starting area - including your new party member!

5) There are several instances where the developers forgot to remove dialogue options related to a specific event, after the event has happened. For instance, at one point you can recruit various people to help defend a settlement, even after it's already been attacked!

6) There's about a 1/10 chance of the game crashing-to-desktop when loading a new area. That's no exagerration - in fact, it may have even been higher than that . This problem seems to be cumulative, so that the more crashes you've had, the higher the chances of there being another one. Eventually you're all but forced to reset your computer if you want to continue playing.

7) This could be related to the cumulative crash problem of 6), but a few times I also had CTDs when simply moving through an already loaded area rather than when loading a new one.


BTW I also occassionally encountered the CTDs when loading a new area in KotOR 1, but far more infrequently.

How many endings are there? Just light/dark or something else? Don't tell me what happens, just y/n.
