The peeps over at GameSpot have kicked up a short preview on the upcoming PC version of Obsidian Entertainment's RPG, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II - The Sith Lords. Here's some lovin':

Right off the bat, it's clear that the choices that you make in the game will have a much greater effect this time around. You'll have to make moral decisions that will not only steer you toward the light side or the dark side of the Force, but will also affect your relationships with your party members. You can also gain influence with your companions, depending on what dialogue choices you select during the game. For example, when one of them has a suggestion, you'll have multiple answers to choose from, including the opportunity to slap it down. Do so, and you'll lose favor with that character. Though we've played through only the first location in the game, the storyline is as intriguing at this point as the original game's storyline was. There are certainly many mysteries in the game, and for every answer you find, you'll uncover even more questions. And for fans of the original, several familiar faces crop up early in the game.
