My issue with KotOR 2 is what I call 'diminishing greatness'. Early on, I found this game better than KotOR in *every way*, and KotOR was my favorite RPG ever. But then you get things where the dialogue and subtitles don't match, where contextual references don't make sense, where you get the same dialogue options over and over ...
... and later you start getting things that don't connect, for instance some NPC says goodbye and leaves, but if you return they are there and start up the dialogue from scratch. Or, you get directed somewhere, and your dialogue choices include things you weren't told. Or, later still, you try to have a follow-up conversation after a major event with one of your party, and it *identical* to one you had on-ship well before, basically ignoring that major event, but also significant other stuff that happened in between.
It is still a very good game, and my review I'm working on will reflect that ... but it appears that the story needed some serious editing (or perhaps WTF-ing), and much more quality control pre-production.
And while I had some slow-downs, I had only one crash ... less than HL2, VtM: Bloodlines, MoHPA or Doom 3 ...
