xbox.ign.com have posted a hands on of the upcoming Lucas Arts game, knights of the Old Republic. Here is part of it for you to read:
Character creation is going to be based on a template system. There will be a total of 30 different basic types, spread across five different "races." The development team is reluctant to give away too much about the story of the game, but the basic elements revolve around you discovering your latent Force powers, thanks to some sympathetic Jedis, and developing your skills as a Jedi Knight over the course of the game. In addition to choosing a template for your character, you have to decide if he's going to be a Soldier, a Scoundrel (like Lando)or a Scout. Your initial attributes will be based on which career you choose, but you can easily change the overall feel of your character as you earn and assign attribute points.
