I loved this game as i have loved the last Kotor. I took a four day hiatus from my girlfriend to play (no calls, no nothing). I just want to list what i loved and what I thought should be changed in the next version, please please please have another kotor.
1.) The breakdown and creation of items was brilliant, i don't know who came up with the idea but give them a raise. I wanted more though, i think it would be interresting if you didn't get anything from people that you frag other than components or chemicals which would force you to make everything you need to play. Why not be able to break down more stuff, consoles, disabled droids, and anything you don't have nailed down. I finally got the idea to sell everything and buy repair kits to break down, you could get much more components if you shopped a little but when i did this the game crashed whitch brings up 2.
2.) I wouldn't have minded if the game came out a few months later if it ran without so many glitches, i admit exploiting some of them but it made the game play less enjoyable to have it crash so much. Take your time the game is worth it, but what do i know about marketing, well you could sell more if you got it out by christmas instead of in february i guess.
3.) If you are going to have multiple party member maybe you could bat around the idea of making three charaters playable as your own instead of picking up NPC's, i know they exist for the story witch is great but it brings me to my next point.
4.) I timed it my first time through, i didn't even pick up all the characters in Nar Shadaa and when i got to the ebon hawk i had to talk for 30-45 minutes just to move on. p. s. it's ok not to be too odvious about npc motovations, i knew that kriea was a sith from allmost the begining it would have been cooler to reveal it later and/or gave indefinate clues to string you along.
5.) Does everyone have to be a jedi? I love that you could turn people through clever conversation (yeah right) to the light side and have them be jedi but i like the diversity as well.
6.) The quests are aweasome, i don't like going back to a planet just to do one damnable quest at the end of the game, i don't mind going back as long as there is more stuff to do, call me impatient.
7.) I am probably the only person who thinks that you should not be dating npcs, if i wanted to date on the computer or the xbox i would get Sims, it seems silly. I know it's good for story depth, i aready feel nerdy devoting my life to a video game every time one of these come out but to try and score with an npc. You can get all the depth out of a story without a love triangle through the quests.
8.) I loathe and despise pazak and swoop bike racing, i know diversity in mini game form. wheeeeee!
I know that it might seem like i'm bitching but i am enamered by these games and i want more than anything to play as many as you make. I love the system and frankly i want you guys to expand it some. I got another sixty dollars to buy the next one, keep em coming.
(onto the next fourty hours as i play the next of my four characters)
