The biggest surprise during my time with the game was the appearance of the new enemy Darth Scion, a man who has found his body nearly destroyed by the Dark side of the Force. Looking more like a grey-skinned zombie, you’ll run across Darth Scion and fight him on a number of different occasions. While I pressed for more information on him and his story, I was unsuccessful. Despite this, it’s obvious that LucasArts has big plans for him in KOTOR II.

My time with KOTOR II was short but impressive. All of the features that made KOTOR so much fun and enjoyable to play seem to still be in the sequel. Combat still seems intuitive and robust and the inclusion of so many new Force powers and Feats only add to the appeal.
