    Knights of the Old Republic 2

    Just came out on pc tuesday. I started playing it, so far so good. Not developed by Bioware this time but the same engine and it feels the same so thats good. Anyone else playing?

    Notice any improvements that appeal to you? On an aside, I liked the first one, but felt the storywriters focused on fight club too much and the game seemed to go downhill after the key storypoint was revealed.

    I'm gonna wait until I'm tired of CoH before I dive into this one...

    Maybe by then.. they will have patch all the major beginning issues.

    That's kinda where I am. I'm very much looking forward to it, but I'm still plinking away at HF2, NWN: Underdark, FF2 on the GBA, and COD: UA.

    So many games...so little time.

    Those speak about the XBOX version's bugs.

    Yeah i know, but they haven't fixed any of those.

    I would think they spent the last few months just porting the code. If I were a dev manager and I had a quick turnaround from xbox to PC, I would just work on the port and not touch the rest of the code. Doing bug fixes introduces a massive risk. But all of this assumes they actually test their code well

    1) Graphic stuttering, much like lag, On dantoonie, but only in the town zone. Fix is to reset the graphics engine by toggling soft shadows. This one is really annoying.

    2) randomly, the screen will blank for 1 second. This happens in cut scenes, or if you are moving in game, you'll find yourself teleported.

    Spoiler bug:

    On telos, in the polar Jedi area, Anton and Keira have a discussion in jail. Anton is invisible. In the next scene, your main finds Anton lying on the ground in the jedi chamber. He joins you. Then, after some wandering, you find the jail room where you speak to Keira and the invisible, jailed Anton while his visible clone is clearly standing next to you. That one freaked me out.

    And I ain't running this on some sissy system. All 3 bugs have been seen by 2 of my friends as well, though for one of them Anton wasn't invisible, but he did double up.
