Yes! Or, at least they could actually finish the romances and such. The furthest you get seems to be (maybe it's different if you play male) but two men quarelling over you and calling you 'she' a lot, only to completely blank you the rest of the time.
What I would like to see in Kotor 3 is a FINISHED game. I mean, I thought both Kotor and Kotor 2 were good works but for me I found the ending of Kotor 2 a bit of an anticlimax after the end of the fight. I was all "oh is that it?" and I don't know how because I would have thought it similar... but I swear it was much shorter than Kotor 1... but maybe that's just because I haven't played that in a while because my second disc's too scratched to install And not to be rude but I really don't understand what the whole point of Kotor 2 was in the end? I mean, if I (character, not me ) am the problem... I'm still a problem by the end of it. And if I'm force bonded to her... why am I not dead? I mean, I can make up answers to these things but I thought they could have been better concluded; again reflecting how I'd like to see the game feeling more complete and whole. (I know I'm ranting... but I just finished the game and felt relatively disappointed - again, it was good, but could have been SO much more) Anyway, not going to point them out in case of spoilers but some of the cut material I read about sounded excellent... so again... I'm ranting, hit me But I was reading the script for a part of it that could have happened and I was in tears READING it... I mean, put that in game and you have really powerful material to work with. (I know there are the sound files but then you have to find them one by one and it's not the same).
Anyway, other than that, in Kotor 3 I think it would be good to return as Revan (although not mandatory, just an idea) because I think you can really connect with that character more as it was groundbreaking concept in Kotor, in my opinion. (if I'm making vague sense - 4.09am ). Personally; could have just been me, but I found it harder (not impossible though) to bond with the Kotor 2 storyline and often had to simply choose options I did not agree with and really had no clue about. What I liked about being Revan was that you could feel immersed in the plot and as if it were revolving around you (just let me explain because I know you always play the protagonist), but in Kotor 2 most of the plot seemed to revolve around the past and Malachor V and without being there or feeling the battle or actively seeing a reason to follow Revan - I just felt so disconnected from it and found the plot more text based as I was only reading about what happened and not really, as I felt, discovering it actively. The past in Kotor seemed glorious and so suspenseful but in Kotor 2 I didn't mind finding out sporadically but it seemed to have little urgency for me... again, might just be me. I guess I like being powerful as Revan (but light ).
Although, I thought influence was a good idea but disliked the way that it was the be all and end all of things; such as if you didn't have it you couldn't find out certain information about the plot or your past, and whilst I don't think we should find out everything at once it would have been nice to have a way around influence at times - or to find out near the very end for some sense of conclusion because now, at the end of Kotor 2, for example. I still don't really know what I did...and what I do know I could summarise in 3 lines or less. (again, plot with all extra details intact rant). Oh and, on the cover of Kotor 2 is Darth Nihilus (Darth nothing?) - whom doesn't exactly play much of a role and was quite easy to kill - I found the fights more challenging in Kotor, I thought that was disappointing too.
Anyway, in Kotor 3 I would like to see, although would cope without:
- myself as Revan again <3
- less cut material and a more complete feel
- actual romances
- some backup to the influence system such as finding things out at the very end so that if you have no influence you realistically don't find out, but at the very end it can't do much harm surely?
Sorry to have rambled for so long It's because I'm female and I haven't slept and it's mid morning or night - whichever before 5am
