Ahh. But BioWare made vast improvement over our much-loved Malak with Jade Empire though. The
were excellent antagonists,
especially,
. In some ways they are comparable to TSL's baddies, in that
. Then of course there is the
resemblance! Don't think I hadn't noticed Muzyka, wherever you be!
As for the KOTOR\TSL conundrum I prefer TSL's bleaker story arc. Yes yes yes, it can be messy at times... (and hurried) ...yet it is infinitely more complex than KOTOR. I think the exile is very under appreciated also, OE gave us the opportunity to role-play, to give our character actual dimension. BioWare did no such thing.
