Ships Ahoy - Star Wars KOTOR

The Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic Website (thanks Frans) has word that the PC version of the Star Wars RPG has shipped, saying simply that the game "is available now." On a related note, GameSpy's Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Q&A talks about this PC version of the Star Wars RPG with BioWare's Casey Hudson, discussing changed and additional content compared with the Xbox version.

After playing the xbox version for about a week now, I can't imagine playing this game on the PC unless they did a major overhaul of the UI.

The game is great, but totally feels like a console game. From the fixed camera (Creston, the xbox _could_ handle moving the camera up, it was a _good_ design decision for a console game though), the targetting buttons (l/r triggers, which makes sense for the xbox, but is silly for a pc interface when you have a mouse) and the streamlined combat and management (I imagine most pc gamers, myself included, would prefer more micromanagement) the game screams console.

Oh, and at least on the xbox, you can see all the dice rolls (hit start -> goto messages -> hit X ... your own your own translating that to mouse clicks ) and the details they give for the rolls are pretty good.

So far, I'm very happy with this game on the xbox, but would not recommend it for the PC unless they did some major tweaking to the interface.
