nightclever's post got me thinking (although probably off-topic) about what constitutes an expansion pack and what constitutes a full-blown sequel.
the problem is, most of the time, couldn't one be interchangable with the other? a sequel (atleast what I perceive as the definition) is a follow up story to the original, sort of continuing the timeline and keeping continuity. but then isn't that what an expansion pack tends to do? is it the number of new features that separates one from the other? new graphics? new characters?
to be perfectly honest, i could care less if TSL ends up being more or less an expansion pack to KOTOR 1, as long as the story makes for an interesting game. I thoroughly enjoyed KOTOR 1 and as long as I get my new story and some new and improved features (which appears to be the case), I'd dish out my cash whether it was a full blown sequel or just an "expansion".
