What's not to get? It's the continuation of the story, just it focuses on a different character.

My problem is that I barely had any time to interact with a couple of the characters, namely HK-47 and Mira (I hit Nar Shaddaa second to last). Everyone besides the Exile and Kreia got the backseat. Another thing that bummed me out was that Darth Nihilus was barely in the game. He's more unknown than any of the other characters in the game. BTW, whatever happened to the Force Bond between the Exile and Kreia?

BioWare won't ever be doing KotOR III

KotOR 2's style of music isn't that drastically different from the first game, so I have no idea where you're coming from. That said, just listen to the music when you're inside the Jedi Enclave on Dantooine, or the music playing during the Korriban Arrival movie. They're both great pieces. Music is much easier to craft when it's telling the story, to be in sync with the visuals. Given that the in-game cutscenes for the most part move at the pace you want them to, and that the CG movies don't last very long, it can't sustain to tell a story that's totally in sync with what's going on screen, so a lot of it has to be more like background music. So I think the music in KotOR 2 is amazing for what it works with.

I get some major slowdown just while running around certain areas. Then when I'm in a big battle it'll become a slideshow. Luckily this is an RPG and not a twitch-based shooter or fighter where quick reflexes will decide your fate, otherwise the framerate would hurt the gameplay. So while I do acknowledge the slowdown, and wish it weren't so bad, it doesn't bother me to a major extent. I'm more annoyed with the loading.

My guess is that they're trying to find the problems themselves so they can offer possible solutions. But I could be wrong. I'm sure Obsidian wouldn't just flat-out ignore everyone.

They're OK. Nothing amazing, of course, and the slowdown kind of hurts the eyes at times.

8.9 from IGN.

Heh. They're crazy to try to start over. I'd just move to Taris.........er... wait... nevermind.

I'm kinda glad I beat the game on the light side my first time through. The dark side ending was kinda weird Maybe just because I wasn't expecting having to kill everyone.
