I hated Kreia at first. Well, actually. I still do. She is a cold, undermining, manipulative witch.
But at the end, I had a grudging respect for her.
Maybe it was her attempt to break out of the determinist lock of the SW universe, that maybe there was something outside of the Force, the great balancing act of the galaxy.
If she had succeeded, in a way, it's declaring her freedom against it all.
But then again, she would have destroyed the galaxy..
Hated her, but I still respected her.
As for the writing between KOTOR1 and 2? I liked TSL's writing better. It just felt more like a reflection of how the SW universe works.
I don't try to excuse the mistakes in the ending, or however it worked out. I know that LA boned them on the scheduling, but it just irritates me when people look at the story and claim that it's terrible. They did a really good job.
