first of all, its Nihilus, not Nihilous or whatever.
I personally think that the choice of being an Exile was superb. I mean, nothing's better then being this badass Jedi Exile who is the only Jedi that can live without the force. If you were a padawan, it probaby would have been a much worse game. I mean, given the choice, I'd rather be an Exile then some Padawan .On a closing note, I thought the Kreia story was told quite nicely , and well played out.
anywho, thats just my two cents. :D
