4. What will make this game stand out from other Star Wars games and be unique among other RPG?s?

BioWare will be drawing from our experience developing award winning RPGs, such as the Baldur?s Gate series and Neverwinter Nights, to develop a very special Star Wars roleplaying experience. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is the first Star Wars RPG released for the Xbox. We?re hoping to really fill that almost universal demand for a classic Star Wars story, epic in scope with great new characters to reveal, while retaining the visual and audio feel of Star Wars canon. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is a very immersive game that we hope will evoke the emotional responses that provide a memorable role-playing experience. Rich character development allows advancement through skills, feats, weapons and items. As characters advance, player choices from the over 50 force powers, skills and feats available will result in a personal combat style reflective of those decisions. Character actions further affect the world and the player?s status in it. Role play with an evil flair, and you?ll see your character slowly develop visual signs of his or her trip down the dark path. Additional game variety will be provided through several mini-games woven into the storyline, as well as the opportunity to role-play different character classes and races. Players can select from a crew of up to 9 NPCs to fill party slots available throughout the adventure. Development of this game has been a massive effort and it?s loaded with amazing environments, rich sound effects, fully voice-acted dialog, galaxy shaking battles and memorable villains that will deliver a rewarding role playing experience in a fresh but familiar Star Wars galaxy.​
