A New KOTOR Question |
LucasArts has
answered the following question about Knights of the Old Republic:
Is
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic going to be a game that is
easily accessible to people without a lot of RPG experience?
From the very beginning we've designed the game with two
different types of players in mind: the hard-core RPG fan, and the
casual Star Wars fan. Our goal was to make a game that was
accessible to both, but didn't compromise the experience for either
player. The team feels that we've successful balanced the complexity
of such a massive RPG system, with the ease of use expected in a
console game. For example: character generation can be
"Quick" or "Custom". The quick version focuses
mainly on the appearance of the character and the character's name.
The custom character generation allows for a much greater degree of
control, from adjusting each of the characters ability scores, to
picking all of the different skills and feats that the player will
use throughout the game. These multiple layers of complexity carry
throughout the game - from the pause and play options in combat to
things like the ability to control the different pop-up help text
that appears on screen. There is a ton of information available to
people that are interested in looking at it, but we don't force
anyone to use it if they don't want to. Be sure to visit the Knights
of the Old Republic official site for more information about
this new game.
