I've been wanting to get this game, but all the previews I've read have indicated that it is just an SW copy of Neverwinter Nights. With Light Side/Dark Side replacing good/evil and some additional faces, etc.

I mean, I was REALLY looking foward to this game, despite the fact that it was from BioWare and I truly despise that company for what they inflicted on the gaming world with their bugtastic frameratefest that was NWN.. and everything I've read seems to point in that EXACT same direction. KOTOR even has feats and the same character attributes, etc.

Could somebody who's bought the game answer me a few specific Q's?

How is the Frame Rate? Does it drop? If so, how often and how badly?

How does using feats work?

Is the combat system cycle-based? That meaning does your character and the enemy just stand there for seconds at a time doing nothing?

How MANY bugs have you (personally) encountered in-game?


Thanks for any answers, all.

Note, I'm a Star Wars fan and an RPG fan, but I've just had numerous bad experiences with the company that made this. And NWN got rave reviews as well.

1.There are a few framerate drops. Doesn't make the game unplayable. Very over lookable considering how good the game is.

2.Feats are skills you may upgrade. Like how well you handle double lightsabers or how well you handle a blaster. Each of the have around 3 to 4 stages helping your character become better at the skill. Also some require other feats to be earned before you go and try just upgrading 1 feat right away.

3.Combat is sorta cycle based and sorta not. You have a choice if your getting your ass handed to you to run from the battle and recooperate. And moving around during the battle does take away the chance of being hit. The coolest thing I encountered with this system is that one time when 2 of my jedi died I took a long range party member and started chipping away at them from long distance. Plus there awareness was down so they could not sense were my nades were coming from. Very, very cool.

4.I encountered a couple of bugs. One of them is when I change armor the game would pause a little bit before doing the action, another would be when you hear some dialog the backround music would sometimes drop out but then again when you reload the games its back again. I'm about 9 hours into the game and I love it. Even with the little flaws black you should still pick this one up.
