Star Wars KOTOR Sequel Confirmed

Ant writes "A story over at Blue's News reveals that the June 2004 print issues of Electronic Gaming Monthly and Computer Gaming World (on newsstands in late April) will confirm a sequel to Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and that the game is, as previously rumored, in development at Obsidian Entertainment, the developer formed by ex-Black Isle boss Fergus Urquhart."

Apologies for the nit picking, but Black Isle didn't actually make BG1/2 or Arcanum :) BG1/2 was Bioware (published by Black Isle though) and Arcanum was Troika (set up by the guys who made the original Fallout.)

Black Isle did however make Fallout 2, the Icewind Dale series and PS:T. You're right though - Black Isle games always had the best NPCs and brilliant story lines, so hopefully this is a good thing - I'd be curious to know though, how many of the original designers\artists\developers from Black Isle work for Obsidian...

Quite a lot of stuff changes, depending on light or dark.

For instance, on Kashykk (however it's spelt, ie: the wookie/forest planet) if you go light side, you can help the wookies overthrow the Cerzik Company/Empire on Kashykk. If you go dark side, you help keep the wookie slavers in power.

Actually, while I'm here, does anyone know how to kill that shapeshifter on Kashykk? The one for a bounty. I found him, beat up a few times and then he ran off and I couldn't find him again. ah, c'est la vie.

he turns into one of those small money/rodent animals. There's a bunch of them near where the shapeshifter was, and if you attack the one that's the shapeshifter he morphs back.
