Nuclear weapons?
I watched the e3 trailer, and saw some little nuclear weapons. So what do you feel about having nukes on your side? And on the enemies side? Personally i cant decide if i should laugh, cry or be enthusiastic about them...
YOU DONT KNOW THE POWER OF THE DRUNKSIDE ill beat you up with my bottl ...lightsaber!!!And Drunk Side is a bar in KOTOR1... check these out! http://www.xfire.com/screenshots/drunkside/
According to the game's cannon, it's not actually a nuclear warhead launcher, but rather a weapon firing conventional ordinance which is nuclear powered. I don't get it either. For all practical purposes however, it is a nuke gun complete with radiation symbol on its side and mushroom shaped explosion.
And I must say that as far as nuclear weapons in video games are concerned this is one of my favorites. It certainly beats Fallout 3's, and I'm reminded of the fusion canon from the original Turok on N64. They call it the Cain, and it's explosion is huge. Also the screen flashes from white to orange to red, shakes a bunch, and when the fireball dissipates pretty much everything is dead.
It will end pretty much any engagement you are up against but it takes so many power cells that you almost never have enough ammo for even one shot. It's worth it though.

I had it, but I never used. When it came down to having one - maybe two - shots for a mission or having 20 shots with a standard missile launcher, it's a no-brainer for me. You never know what's waiting for you in the next room, and there's nothing quite like the feeling of, "Crap, I'm really screwed now!".
Didn't encounter any enemies that used them, either. I'm playing on the hardest difficulty, and if they nuked me on top of it all I might be tempted to throw the game out the window out of frustration. However, there were fights that would have been made infinitely easier if I'd had it, so I'm all for it.
