I have a possible idea about how K3 could be done: (Maybe between 5-20 years after the events of K2) You're a young child, and you're with your parents on Korriban as they scour the planet for junk to sell. Your parents are eaten before your eyes by a pack of tukata, and some Jedi saves you. Later on he tells you he's found a holocron (could be used as a plot device, or maybe as something to unlock the more powerful abilities later in the game) that he can't unlock. Anyway, he recognizes your potential in the force, and starts to train you. after a bit, you meet this Sith that wants to get their hands on the holocron, and tries to befriend you towards that end. He also sees at least a small part of your potential, and offers a few pointers in the way of the force, and even preaches some Sith doctrine while he's at it. Eventually, the Sith tries to kill the Jedi for the holocron, and you've got to decide who you're going to join (which influences whether the holocron turns out to be a Jedi one or a Sith artifact). Yadda yadda yadda, and by searching for a means to unlock the holocron, you attract the attention of the Sith and the Jedi (one of whom you will get to join, and perhaps even become the leader of)(and you also get several opportunities to chance sides)(introduces some old characters here). At this point, it becomes about destroying the opposing ideologues, while looking for allies and other artifacts to increase your power. Maybe, towards the 3/4 of the game, you have to seek out the 'true Sith empire', for some reason or another. And you could even come back later and either destroy the newly stabilized Republic or whatever. Eh, in retrospect, I guess that would be a pretty long game, and probably filled with several boring bits. I'm not as fond of the second part as I am of the first, but it's the best I could do in only 10 minutes free time. Either way, I'd prefer to choose early on whether I'd like to join the Jedi or the Sith, not have to wait halfway through the game to gain some measure of standing with the Sith.
