I think that story plays an important role in every RPG. Of course, I prefer interactive story lines, that I can modify with personal choices. But I don't dislike all those speeches that add background to the story, they've their importance, too.
This is my personal list of what I would like in KOTOR III:
- I want a KOTOR III that doesn't change too much the overall look of the game and the playing system of the previous KOTOR I & II . I think that ALL THE PLAYERS EXPECT a strong involvement of Revan and the Exile in the story, as playable characters in your party OR one of them as the main character. It would be great to import saved games from KOTOR I & II to load your old Revan and Exile, and to have them in your party !
- I want a complete game, I desire that Obsidian takes all the necessary time to develop it, I don't want the same bugs/glitches/incomplete maps/low def. movies that affected KOTOR II. I want large maps, filled with details and interesting items, also if this takes more time in the develop of the game. The maps of KOTOR I were very good; some of the maps of KOTOR II were not very good.
I don't want entirely recycled and short locations; if you must to recycle a location, then change it or put in it something interesting. For instance, I think that in KOTOR II Korriban is a bad recycled location (too short, identical to the old Korriban) while Dantooine is a good recycled location.
- I want original and new sidequests, and not boring ones as: sell the droid and give the money to the poor guy; and similar.
- I liked very much the idea of KOTOR II to not insert locations from the Star Wars movies as Tattoine, Yavin, ... I DON'T WANT THEM !!! They are always the same, I've seen them ten hundred million times in other Star Wars games, and there's no reason to set the story in those planets. It is good to insert NEW planets, maybe to see Coruscant or Corellia or some other "alternative" planet that is referred to in the Star Wars saga but we don't know very well. It is good to take inspiration from Tales of the Jedi or other Expanded Universe tales set in the same time period.
That's all, sorry for the long post
