Jedi Outcast was okay in that regard, and the saber system was fun enough to counter that problem, but Academy tired it out and with the same ready-made army it got very old. With KotOR it wasn't so improbable, seeing that there was the academy and all, that there would be so many, but they really would benefit tremendously from more variety. Just, for the love of god or whatever you hold dear, do not have some easy-sith-oven like Jedi Knight. Twice was more than enough.
