Well I certainly hope you are all right. I want this game to be classic as much as anyone. KOTOR 1 actually turned me on to investigating other parts of the SW timeline that I never checked into before. Not every day that a game comes along like that. I told my youngest brother right before he played it for the first time, that any game that calls on your emotions and makes you care about the characters or feel BAD about choices you make is a game you might wanna check out. And so he and my other brother both did and they loved it too. I told them about my post here and they wanted to kill me, lol. Anyways thanks for the responses friends.

Before you decide to "strike me down" after reading my topic description, please hear me out. I don't want to be grilled to extra crispy on my first topic. I am 30 years old, a gamer for 20 of those, and I grew up loving SW. And I, like many of you, really love KOTOR 1. Played through multiple times with different people in party, planets visited in different order and light/dark side like I am sure many of you did too. Even as I type this, I have a game saved in which I have yet again seen something new during the course of play. I am a bit concerned about the sequel though. But let me just get this out of the way right now. I believe in Obsidian. I know who is there, and I know what their collective track records are. I believe in Bioware as well, another group of fine and talented people who gave us great times and will continue to do so. The ablilities of the people in question are undisputed. But I also need to say this: I have my doubts as to whether 14 months is enough time to create a game that will equal or surpass KOTOR 1. A game with that complexity and polish and story doesn't come down the pike every day, or even every year. Even with the right people at the helm, it still takes TIME to create all the content necessary for a game of this scope. Especially if KOTOR 1 is the target to shoot for. I may be looking forward to the release, but my excitement is squarely in check. I would not be upset if they delayed it until the spring to make sure it's a winner. I am sure I am in a minority here, but I would rather wait for gold later, then settle for bronze now. Agree? Disagree? Thanks for reading. DW p.s. I also went through 21 pages of posts in an effort to NOT retread somone else's discussion, if I did, I apologize.
