did anyone notice how many time people in Kotor2 use this word? Specially Kreia. It gets really anoying when spoken in Kreias british accent, after a couple of dozen times.

Someone in Obsidian must love that word ;)

It's all foreshadowing, kinda. Everyone that uses the word echo--not including Kreia--doesn't do it on purpose, but they use the word and the word intentionally is stuck in your mind. Kreia, however, who realizes what you are and what's going on in the galaxy, probably is suppsed to use it intentionally. It's all about foreshadowing what's to come; kinda like some of the things you see in KotOR I that lead up to the *great* revelation of who your character is.

yes, Kreia has an anoying voice of an old woman that had too much coffe, and as for the accent, to me it sounds like a more traditional english.

I loooove Kreia's voice...
Especially the line where she says something like this; "It does not matter where we go. It's the journey that matters." It gives me like "nice" goose bumbs...


It sound like a nice old woman.

I think Chimaera's right about the foreshadowing. Remember, KotoR2 (whatever its faults) was written/produced by the same gent who designed Planescape: Torment, the most literate RPG of all time.

The actress whose voice is used as Kreia strikes me as a very fine one, with an excellent command over inflection and dynamics. Kreia comes across, both in word and voice, as the ultimate manipulator.
To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.
