Indeed a bit like how the First World War was called 'The Great War' (until World War II came along) . History is always being made and as long as it's always being made, then history will always change .

Just a question - I thought the Mandalorians and Echani don't get along? I can't imagine Mandalore and Brianna pairing up .

Erm I thought Malachor V *does* get destroyed in the LS ending? And I finished the third level with the Handmaiden but got no cutscene .

That's a good point. I forgot that one of the KOTOR1 endings involved killing Bastila and yet she turns up in this one + indeed you may have never bought HK-47 anyway... Concerning the continuity, I guess it would be best to start 100 years later, but the least that Obsidian can do (if they're not going to patch the ending of KOTOR2) is to tell us what happens to them in KOTOR3 (which makes it hard obviously since they don't have the input from the previous game). If they start from scratch then KOTOR 2 definitely is the lemon in the series...

They're humans alright, just that they all sound like Aussies and Kiwis . Whoever mentioned about the Fetts being the last of the Mandalorians, that's something I never knew until now! Well, you learn something new everyday .

I totally agree, that's why the ending was screwed up, not to mention that you probably deserve to hear what your characters have to say about what happened at the end (or at least know how the hell they ended up on/survived Malchor V)? I totally agree with Naso's comment about the HL2 ending. HL2 had a cliffhanger as well and a lot of people whined about that ending too, although I was one of them who actually thought it was alright, provided they explained what happened in the third. KOTOR 2 suffers from the same problem except you'd expect some more interaction with your party members, I mean after all, this is an RPG, not a First-Person Shooter! Not only that, in HL2 everything made sense - you just got the feeling that Valve knew what they were doing with the ending. All the way to the end there was explanations of why you were doing this, why you were doing that. In KOTOR2 it's confusing right after the Telos academy to be precise. I mean the first sign of me wondering WTF was going on is that there were no cutscenes or anything and you suddenly ended up somewhere on Citadel station with Atton. Why is Atton with you? What happened to the rest of your party members? Where's the Ebon Hawk? True you can surmise what actually happened and fill the gaps in your head but you've already lost some continuity that would usually be filled in if you were playing earlier parts of the game. After that you must kill Nihilius! Erm... pkay. Where did Mandalore come from with all his Mandalorians? They got here pretty quick meaning they must've been prepared beforehand - however Mandalore never told you he'd been secretly preparing his men to attack the Raveger and bring it down with explosives... then again, how did Mandalore know that was going to happen anyway? Maybe Mandalore is a Jedi? You see, now the ridiculous questions start to crop up since things just don't make sense. At least they could've tried to explain! The ending with Mira somehow not on the ship with the others (or is there anyone else on the ship?) plus the fact you never find out what happens to the rest of your party members (considering they're a CRUCIAL part for the Light Side storyline - i.e. ethical dilemmas concerning 'friends and allies') makes the ending feel a bit empty. Sure make it a cliffhanger, but at least tell what happens to your party members in the present. Some reward for gaining influence with your party members couldn't go astray either!

Australian magazine PC Powerplay gave KOTOR 2: 9/10. It claims it's better than KOTOR 1 but worse than Planescape: Torment .

Ah so that *is* how far the romance goes in this game eh? :D Good thought I was missing out on something .

Yeah that's annoying that you couldn't learn more about Bao-Dur, since he's probably the ONLY one in the party without skeletons in the closet and is probably the only trustworthy one of the lot! Considering his death, well, *I* thought he was dead when he was showing a hologram to his remote, but after Kreia said his future is unknown, well that gives a bit of hope that he's still alive and probably a good chance he'll be in KOTOR 3 as a party member IMHO (since by keeping his future mysterious allows it to take different courses in a sequel).

Okay there's been a lot of discussion going on here but could someone please provide a summary of what actually happened at the end-game and what she set to achieve to have the Exile fight her :D ? Is the bond that Kreia and the Exile share, fake? Since how come when Kreia dies the Exile doesn't? Oh and to add some wood to the fire, how about Bastila? Isn't she still a true Jedi (i.e. one that doesn't feed off the Force)? If that's the case, she's probably the last Jedi left. Oh another question, is there anyway you can avoid killing the Jedi masters?
