I'm curious, but did you get this sort of thing when you finished the game? Because I got it and I liked it.

"you may feel jipped and angry" My bad. I misread your "and" to think it was or.

It's a pity that there are no rumors about BG3. ...not that I'm expecting it to be developed by Bioware.

I would have to say that I prefered Jeremy Soule's electronic music from the first game. I was expecting more from an orchestra backed soundtrack.

Speak for yourself. I liked the ending.

Kreia. Hands down.

The Kotor games by their very nature are easy. They are By FAR the easiest RPG's I've ever played. But I would guess that was a design decision meant to frustrate as few people as possible and garner more gamers into the mix.

"Good points Drac. I mean, I too was enamored in the first 20 hours of gameplay in K2. The game was absolutely on fire. Then towards the latter half, it just went down hill and never recovered. Your opinion might change after you finish the game. We'll see." I didn't get that impression at all. When you hit the climax, things naturally accelerate towards the ending. The pieces fall into place and the PC starts to act with more resolve and with righteous fury. ...well, that's how I played it.

So then I guess you could say it would win for best AND worst game of the year for you? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hmmm...you is being tricksy. That would correct. Although I would have to say that I would just vote for it being GOTY. Not anti-GOTY. I'd abstain from that vote.

I'd vote TSL as #1. Though, it is the ony xbox game I bought this year...

This was the impossible part for me. I played DS consular, and sacraficed DS for gaining influence, thinking it would be meaningful. In the end, I didn't get the benefits of either the party story depth or the advantages of being extreme DS like <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's why I liked it. It really puts making some meaningful choices into the game-and dealing with the fallout regarding those choices. What's more important to you: attaining mastery or influence? Would you rather have Handmaiden, Visas, or Mira liking you? Who do you have adventuring with you and who do you leave behind at the Ebon Hawk? It makes choosing more meaningful within the game context. Chris A makes the effects of influenc quite clear here.

Well you could cover it up.

I really liked it. It sucks because it is inconvenient in that you don't get every option you want. BUT, it puts some more meaningful roleplaying and a premium on choice.

What and where is the one optional? I never even knew it existed. Better put in the spoiler black out.

Do what Boiler said and just play the game normally. You'll hit it. I assure you.

From what I understand, it's a matter of influence. Gaining influence on one character may lose influence over another. I could only train one jedi. Next time, I should be more mindful of my roleplaying choices in gaining influence.

If you believe in the opinions above and believe that you won't enjoy the game because of those problems, then no. It won't be worth it. If you think the factors above won't get in the way of your enjoyment, then it is worth it. ...of course, countless others have enjoyed the game tremendously. And there have even been reports of people playing it bug-free.

"My biggest gripe with the game is that its totally lost the STAR WARS feel the first game had. Playing this game feels like playing Dark Forces 2, Jedi knight for the first time. Its a good game, and a good story. But...it doesn't have the same flavor starwars does." I would disagree. Not wanting to ruin anything for those who haven't played it yet...but TSL definitely has the STAR WARS feel. As in, the ESB. Maybe you're thinking it doesn't play like the K1? ---which felt like SW ANH.

Which is why I wouldn't mind seeing another anthology type series. In either comic book or cartoon form.

It's good to see quasi-familiar names, but well remembered personas come back. Of course, I was mostly lurking back then...

You guys made an outstanding game! Thank you Feargus, Chris, Chris, Chris, and Darren for having the guts to create a startup in this relatively cuthroat business. And congrats to all the other worker bees, grunts, and peons for developing an otherwise brilliant slam dunk of a game. Blemishes and all.

I'd just be worried they'd make the series like the Clone Wars cartoons with those pre-kindergarten style animations and characters. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I liked them.

Yes. But as an anthology type series. Chronicling the adventures of various "knights" of the Old Republic. In cartoon form.

When he joins your party, he is available for your personal customization from level 6 on. What his final starting level is at depends on the level of your pc.

In my game it was around 18 or 19.
