I used a frag grenade. Blew the b*gger up.
:D
Can't wait to properly fight one of them, though.

I think the combat's perfect; a solid blend between real time and turn based (you can queue attacks by pressing 'X' over an action, if you didn't know). I agree the first person viewpoint is a bit limited, and I'm not sure why. The graphics, I thought, are great. Only problems I have are some dodgy anti-aliasing and a nagging reminder of Brute Force.
And it's most certainly an RPG, it's as in-depth as Final Fantasy and the freedom is VERY refreshing. Comparable to Morrowind.

Get out.
Using the force to leap ridiculous distances is one of the best things about being a Jedi.

A good trick to get your health back up is to pause the game, scroll along to the Map screen and press 'X' to return to your hideout. Walk into your apartment, and your entire team will be healed. Simply go back to the map screen and press 'X' again to transit back to your original location.
It works, but they don't explain why. How you can spontaneously teleport across a city, then heal everyone by walking into your hideout, is beyond me. Perhaps everyone goes to sleep. Still, that wouldn't explain the teleportation...

you're actually supposed to poison the rancor using a poison grenade, by attracting it to eat the pile of bones with 'rancor pheremones' you find.
still, if you've done it, fair play. save often, there's tonnes of idiots to kill after the rancor, some with shields which make them a b*tch to kill.

Managed it, using solo mode i got each person past the rancor to the other side :)
anyone got any idea how to get past the bloody rancor?
I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, but if you and your party are wheezing like 80-a-day codgers with low health and you ain't got any medpacs, simply go to map screen, warp back to hideout, then warp back to your previous position and everyone is miraclously healed.
So far I'd say the game is good. The combat is a bit wishy-washy. Why can't you look up? The graphics are average. It feels like an adventure with an RPG attached onto the gameplay... It's alright. Enjoyable. It might get better.
