Leviathan Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Hi all ! I do not have Star Wars KotOR II yet, but before buying it, I would want to know the changes brought by the sequel of the 2003's Game of the Year compared to the original title, like new movements, attacks, available options in dialogs with characters, work-benches and computers, etc... I hope you'll help me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GotGoose? Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 There's lots, but off the top of my head... Different animations for each level of feat (e.g. flurry is different than master flurry) Your skills mean something! There are options in dialogue that only appear if you have a certain number of skill points. Full sized robes You can now build items. This time, the upgrade slots for items to not give preset upgrades. You can get different upgrade items that give different attributes. Blasters are a lot better (imo) Influence system That's all I can think of for now. Hope that was helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Smaug Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Advanced upgrading Lightsaber... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthVandar205 Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 New Planets Planets from KOTOR I are different than when you were there before New Party characters *although a couple of them are from the original game* More variety of weapons, armor, items, etc Choices with dark/light influence your journey more More of a dark/evil feel to the game Takes place 5 years after the original game and most of the planets look like theyve been shot up pretty bad Many of the people you interact with are new or different from the ones in the first game Those are some of the basic things youll encounter.....im sure others can elaborate.

dark jedi 8 Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 a much wider variety of species this time around but still minimal changes in alien voice acting ie. it all repeats regularly and sound very similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warmaker Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Combat animations are flashier with higher skills/feats. Jedi Robes are a big plus. This was sorely missed in the first game. Melee combat is still great but Ranged definitely has been improved. With the proper ranged combat feats, weapons, and upgrades, your gunners can provide outstanding support. The damage they can put out is comparable to the best melee attacks. There's much more characters. It's a good thing. I wish the game was much longer though, so I can play around with the other characters. By game's end, there's 1-3 characters that were used minimally. Edit to add: The storyline in KOTORII is superior to the original, IMO. One of the great things during the dialogue is that while KOTOR was definitely black and white, good vs evil, KOTORII had alot more shades of grey. I miss Jolee Bindo and his sense of humor, however.

Leviathan Posted February 16, 2005 Author Share Posted February 16, 2005 For GotGoose? : _______________________ You can now build items. This time, the upgrade slots for items to not give preset upgrades. You can get different upgrade items that give different attributes. This new system seems to be great ! Could you give me some examples of these upgrades ? (Names, properties, special effects, etc...) For Darth Smaug : _______________________ Advanced upgrading Lightsaber... Could you explain a bit more this "point", please ? For DarthVandar205 : _______________________ New Party characters *although a couple of them are from the original game* These known characters are HK-47 and T3-M4, aren't they ? Also, I think that there's Canderous Ordo in Star Wars KotOR II, but I'm not sure... Thanks to inform me about that !... For dark jedi 8 : _______________________ a much wider variety of species this time around but still minimal changes in alien voice acting ie. it all repeats regularly and sound very similar. It's interesting... What are exactly these new species ? For Warmaker : _______________________ I miss Jolee Bindo and his sense of humor, however. What did you want to say by there ? Thanks in advance !... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drazin Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Lightsaber upgrades... 3 crystal slots and 3 Parts slots. 6 slots total instead of 3 from Kotor. Being able to create your own Upgrades for weapons/Armor and lightsabers by using Components. You can create a Pure Rylith Power Cell which would add like 2-12 damage to a rifle. Or make a Pontite Lens for your lightsaber to increase its damage. There are ALOT of upgrades you can make, provided you have enough Components and high enough skill in the required area. As for new Species... Cannoks and Boma's come to mind, but I am sure there are more if I really think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pnut_Man Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 On the subject of newly implemented species... I encountered Sullustians, Trandos, Weequay, Squid face guys (loss for the name...), and a couple others I believe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leviathan Posted February 17, 2005 Author Share Posted February 17, 2005 Lightsaber upgrades... 3 crystal slots and 3 Parts slots. 6 slots total instead of 3 from Kotor. There are ALOT of upgrades you can make, provided you have enough Components and high enough skill in the required area. Nice... Very nice... I would just acquire SW : KotOR II for that !... I encountered Sullustians, Trandos, Weequay, Squid face guys (loss for the name...), and a couple others I believe... Trandoshans were already present in the original Star Wars Knights title, as the "Squid face guys". (Did you mean Quarrens ?) But to be able to encounter some Weequays or Sullusteans is rather interesting, especially when we know that Weequays and other species are specialized in smuggling. I think that you can go to Nar Shaddaa (The "Smugglers' Moon"), no ?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axell Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 What he meant is that Jolee is not present in TSL at all, heheh. I didn't think he was funny, but oh well... Heh. And as for the returning characters... Yes, they would be HK-47 and T3-M4. Although it takes a long time to recruit HK compared to T3(You'll know what I mean when you first play it, heh. Be sure not to skip the tutorial!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true... I forgot that Jolee Bindo had perished in Star Wars KotOR I when you were tempted by the Dark Side... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
