HomeLAN - What other new and improved gameplay elements will The Sith Lords have?

Mike Gallo - We’ve spent some time refining the user interface a bit, but since we were all really happy with the way things were in the first game, this is seen as more of a facelift than a complete redo. On the action menu you can now switch between two different weapon configs while in combat or just walking around. The weapon configs can be set up on the equip screen, just like normal, only now there are two slots. On the game play side, we’ve made more use of the players base skills. We just wanted to get more out of the treat injury skill for example. We’ve also added over 60 new feats and Force powers to the game, which will add to the strategic elements in combat, and will offer new choices when leveling up your characters.

HomeLAN - Finally, what is the current status of the game’s progress and when will it be released?

Mike Gallo - We are rapidly approaching our Alpha date, and this means that we’re nearly complete with the creation of all assets for the game. Obviously, that doesn’t mean that the game is done – there are still months of polish, bug fixing and tuning to do, and that will be the primary focus of the team during the summer / fall. We’ll have a much better feel on a specific release date once we achieve Alpha, but we’re still currently set to ship in Winter. The PC and Xbox versions are at exactly the same stage right now, so we’re confident that we can launch them simultaneously.

Sure looks like they're trying to aim for Holiday.

Sounds hot! they didn't need to change much...just tweak the game balance and some few minor interface changes... hopefully they spent the most money on writers

KOTOR2 has always been February 2005. It is not 2004 from what Lucasarts said at E3.
