*SPOILERS SO IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW ANYTHING DON'T READ ON* from ustream:Was she shouting and pointing from Torr's back the entire time?
Mostly. She gets hit by an arrow at one point, but it doesn't kill her. That's all I saw, but they're only in a ~20 second cutscene before the fight. Torr doesn't speak at all, though, he just grunts.
The more I see of Kotal, the more I like him. He really is portrayed (at least so far) as a wise but firm ruler; he values honour very highly and does not tolerate thievery or dishonesty. He is definitely what I'd call 'neutral' so far, rather than any sort of dictator. Obviously there's still time for things to change, but he's already a much more three dimensional character than Shao Kahn ever was. It seems his goal is to defeat Mileena's rebellion and restore order to Outworld (i.e. unify it) rather than go on a conquering spree.
On what we've seen so far, he is undoubtedly the best 'new' character the MK series has ever had. Even including Shinnok and Quan Chi, those characters were only really interesting later on, as Quan Chi has had several games to 'grow' as a character, and Shinnok was rubbish in MK4 despite his potential. I have no idea what will happen to Kotal, but I hope he is a series regular hereon.
