Sorry, that I did not read all posts here beyond page 3; I just wanted to express my own insights and feelings about the Kotor 2 end. Like many here I agree that the end was lame and left me unsatisfied. In general I felt Kotor 2 had a lack of alternatives IMO. As it is my usual way, I played as Light Side as possible, I made tight friendships with all light characters, and made all possible characters my Padawans, and enjoyed this. I was quite disappointed that after I spoke to the Jedi masters about everthing, especially sind Kavar and Zez-Kai Ell seemed quite understanding (and even Vrook at some point admitted he had misjudged me), that they only wanted to disconnect me with the force? I did not understand this "wound in the force" thing at all. Was it a ruse by Kreia to lure the Jedi together? Was I a shade of Nihilus, he of me? I felt myself forced to the fact that I was an evil mass murderer and I had difficulties with my past. Maybe *I* would have wanted to really stand to what I did? I never really got the chance. But worst of all was the end. No choice. Ok, there are the three choices, follow Revan, exile or go with friends. But why, if I followed the Light Side, dont I see myself in a renewed Jedi Order or something like this? I would have loved some kind of emotional reward, otherwise it feels like it would have made no difference if I kill or help everyone. Altogether, Kotor 1 was a bit better than K2, especially regarding the really diffrent your actions and decisions make in the end. And then, I was a BIT confused by the strange mysticism and belief system. I know the SW universe about avarage, no expert, but more than the movies. So here are some things I dont really understand, maybe you SW-EU experts or otherwise wise can tell me: 1. What REALLY happend at Malachor V? Why is everyone so shocked about what the main character did? The Mandalorians where mass murderers, even stopping them at a high price does not seem so terrible to me. Ok, the Jedi are pacifists, but still, they are KNIGHTS. They DO defend. Why is everyone else so shocked and angered too, even non-Jedi? 2. I really do not understand the Jedi. What did they wait for? In the movies or those EU novels I read they where never that passive in the face of such grave terror the Mandalorians were. 3. I thought the ancient sith empire vanished at the time, and the only Sith Empire was that of those entombed on Korriban. If not, when did the Sith Empire vanish / fall in EU history. Or does it STILL exist in the time the movies are set? Altogether, this idea of a MEGA-Sith empire sounds like a deus ex machina to me, and I dont like it. It's something in the games was never seen or heard about and SUDDENLY at the end I hear of the "real" sith. Not a good way of story telling.
