<a href=http://www.ferrago.com>Ferrago</a> posted a short <a href=http://www.ferrago.com/story/3213>article</a> that says that <a href=http://www.bioware.com>Bioware</a> confirmed that <a href=http://www.obsidianent.com>Obsidian</a> is working on <b>KOTOR 2</b>. No explanation is provided though. <a href=http://spong.com>SPOnG</a> also <a href=http://spong.com/detail/news.asp?mode=news&type=n&cid=&pid=&vid=&prid=6366>reported</a> that KOTOR 2 is already in a <i>fully playable form</i>.
<br>
<br>
<blockquote> As we revealed back in October of last year, a sequel to Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is underway at new developer Obsidian, with BioWare passing the high-profile torch to its favoured partner.
<br>
<br>
The news, which is to be finalised in a US gaming magazine next month, cements gossip that a new game in the beloved RPG series is well into development, enough so to already be in fully playable form.
<br>
<br>
From what we were told last year, KOTOR 2 will be set years after the original game, and will feature an entirely new cast of characters, though the basic play mechanic of the original will remain unchanged.
<br>
<br>
Expect shots and further info shortly, as well as KOTOR 2 making a significant splash at this May's E3 in Los Angeles.</blockquote>
<br>
Well, if the info is correct, thank God for the "entirely new cast of characters"!

Nice to not have to deal with Carth, Bastila or the cat chick again, but HK-47 and Canderous were pretty good and Jolee wasn't all that bad.

Jolee was lol funny, perhaps the best-written and -voiced NPC I've seen in recent games. A pleasant surprise.

And don't tell me you didn't think Bastila was adorable when she scrunched up her nose at you!

 

[Sol Invictus]

That was cute, yeah.

 

[DemonKing]

And don't tell me you didn't think Bastila was adorable when she scrunched up her nose at you!

Not to mention her cute little jedi undies and her willingness to run around the entire universe in them if that was your wish.

 

[Sol Invictus]

Please tell me you weren't turned on by a computer generated image.

Already fully playable? Has Obsidian even existed long enough to have had time to make a 'fully playable' game?

 

[Vault Dweller]

Never underestimate the power of the Force! and the internet rumors!

 

[Dhruin]

I think this is just the original 1Up story repackaged and without credit.

 

[Elwro]

What "Beloved RPG series" is the guy talking about?

 

[Volourn]

He's predicating the future where KOTOR 10 is developed by new wacky dveloper Triuo (I'll elt you figure out hoiw I came upwith that) which will be backed and fiannced by powerhouse BioLucusObs *stick 7 other names here* Inc.

There's nothing like recycling the exact same game engine for the sequel. It worked for Fallout 2.

 

[General-Arcane]

I loved kotor could it get any better?

 

[Vault Dweller]

Considering how lame it was, it could definitely get better. There is a lot of room for improvement.

Heres the thing though, if you only use an engine for 1 game and then discard it, you're probably going to have financial issues.

Worked for NWN too.
