I really hate to side with Hades on this one but I feel I must (nothing against Yah hades its just I don't agree with alot of what you talk about), There are ways they could create games within the starwars license that didn't solely revole around the Jedi. Look at Galaxies for one, as far as I know you can't become a jedi in it but it looks to be a good game none the less (I haven't played it since I am saving money for TSL and don't have Live). I just don't understand why they don't take more advantage of the other classes in the Starwars universe, it would be interesting if they made a game were one could become one of say five (just picked a number off of the top of my head) different classes without being forced (forgive the pun) to play a jedi. I am not exactly sure how they would go about it sicne I am not a developer but I am certian that it could be done to the same calibur as (or maybe even better than) KOTOR.

I agree to make a game about non-Jedi would be ok though it probably wont interest me that much. But Kotor is not the place for it, and the story style of kotor that relates often to the PC being a particular someone and having done particular things, having a great range of different possibilities for what the pc could be would make it that much harder, these games are always about particular characters. Do you understand I hope I said it right but the main thing is other games where the character is not the focus of the plot could allow for greater range but these games aren't it. Having said that they still allow for a great range within the limits of the story

I agree, this game is about being a jedi. For me this is why i play sw games i dont have a problem with non-jedi games but i don't go to the boards for those games and complain that you can't be a jedi.
