There's a <A href="http://xbox.gamespy.com/xbox/star-wars-knights-of-the-old-republic-2/530479p1.html">preview</A> on <A href="http://www.gamespy.com/">GameSpy</a> talking about the upcoming sequel, <a href="http://www.lucasarts.com/games/swkotor_sithlords/">Knights of the Old Republic 2</a>. It's based on a little press gathering that <A href="http://www.lucasarts.com/">LucasArts</a> gave recently, which is why there's a lot of these things today. Anyway, here's the clip:
<br>
<br>
<blockquote>The producer told me that you'll be able to pick a side and fight for them, play both sides against each other, or simply remain neutral. It's not really known if there are any advantages to any of these options, but that's part of what made the first game so great. You can choose to do whatever you want, and that's obviously the case here, as well. </blockquote>

See, that's much better than just <i>do good</i> or <i>do evil</i>. The only problem with that is doing one or the other in a game like this also gives you more superpowers.

Finally a useful preview. I realize people like to hype the New Powers angle to death, but something on the gameplay from an RP perspective is refreshing.

Stay neutral? Overall, throughout the game? Nice one. No sucking up to the poncy jedi or the brutally stupid sith. huzzah!

The villain looks tons better than Malak did (it was the metal jaw-thing, it just looked sad). And they've even extrapolated out the dark side deterioration to give it some background weight.

Wow, someone actually prodded my interest in the game. I'm not almost completely indifferent anymore...

 

[Saint_Proverbius]

Yeah, I tend to agree. This is probably one of the best previews I've seen on the game to date. It's nice they covered something of substance rather than talking about how cool the new force powers are.

Like I said, the only thing I'm worried about is how staying neutral will help you in the long run.

 

[Spazmo]

At least the option of there. This business with helping one or the other faction or screwing both is encouraging: maybe that sort of freedom will be present in all the game's quests? In any case, lots of love for MCA.

nice to have the options of staying neutral, but why should staying neutral actually help you in the long run? the entire sitting on the fence attitude, does that work in reality?

 

[Volourn]

To a point, yes.

 

[errorcode]

not so much a sitting on the fence approach, but just a lack of a particular alignment lean. I can't wait to be able to play through doing some good things, some bad things, and not being punished for dabbling.
