I agree that TOR is a steaming pile of garbage and I honestly wish it had never happened. However there is still hope for a KOTOR3 first off the re-release of KOTOR 1 on the ipad outdid any of the projected sales figures. Not only by a little bit but it honestly surprised everyone involved that the game is still that popular. Secondly in November EA started ramping for another open world star wars game with Visceral Studios which means we very much could get a KOTOR 3 we can afterall hope. However if EA and Disney were smart they would bring the KOTOR 3 team in from Obsidian and finish production on what they already started which could very much be possible seeing that they are only looking for animators according to the article I read on theforce.net, which would make sense seeing that the story line is basically already in place. As far as what I would like to see in a KOTOR 3 game? I would like to see Revan and the Exile team up together with one or two other companions. Not a ship full to start but more like Revan and Exile take on the world. Then near the end when everything gets wrapped in you could bring in Canderous, Bastilla, Carth and Mission Vao along with Zalaabar for the light side end of things. If you go darkside you could bring in Canderous, HK 47, Atton and Bao Dur or two new characters who we havent met yet. But the final half of the game would have to be Revan and The Exile split up. I think though it should be users choice at the beginning of the game as to who you play. You could start as Revan or as the Exile which in effect gives you roughly four different endings to the game with either a female or a male character with each character, so in eventuality you would have eight different scenerios to play through with different plot twists and such depending on who you played and whether you played male or female. Needless to say though the final battle would be nothing short of epic. Now if whoever made the game really wanted to make money and drive profit through the roof sell all three games in a bundle set for like 60 or seventy dollars us. The advantages would be the ability to play all three games through seamlessly with a descent cutscene between each game tieing them all in plus remove the level cap in KOTOR 1 so when you picked up with Revan (which in this case characters sex would be deteremined by what you chose in KOTOR at the start) you would pick up right where you left off level wise. To decide in this instance which character you played you could have a little conversation at the beginning that unlocks which character you are playing as. Now once the game is defeated you can pick up in whichever game you wanted and start from the beginning of either one two or three. But then again I am a massive geek and could think of no way better to spend almost a year of my life.
The second thing I wanted to say was that the reason the KOTOR games are so much like dnd and the reason we love them so much is very simple. The game mechanics and such are almost word for word right out of the star wars revised core rule book which is a D20 system.
