Bug Solution?

[Darth Cake]

Well I've beaten the game one time, and I was really looking forward to playing it through again, but I started reading about all the bugs (and had experienced a few myself) and I am thinking that I should return this game, on principle.

 

It's not that I blame Obsidian or anything (I really blame Luca$Art$) but honestly -

 

I think what drove me over the edge was learning that the force aura and speed trees gave no bonus to defense... that's just basic, isn't it? I mean, it doesn't even give you the bonus on the character screen, how could they have missed it? It even worked in the first game!

 

Well I am hoping that if I return it and get store credit, and Obsidian/LucasArts has an attack of conscious and maybe starts selling a bug-fixed version in a month or so I can get that. Maybe?

It would be nice if they did, but is highly unlikely. The financial lagistics involved would be greater then that of the initial release and quite possibly larger then that of development. Once it is out there, there is little one can do.

The way I feel about it is this:

 

The bugs in the game are inexusable.

There are probably two reasons for this.

 

First is the rush to get it out for the holiday, which is actually a BAD idea, since the hype for this game is totally lost among Halo 2, Half-Life 2, Metroid Prime 2, and GTA:SA.

Second, Obsidian is working with Bioware's engine, and they won't understand it is as well.

 

I don't blame Obsidian, and I even want to support them because of their backgrounds with Fallout, PS:T, BG series, IWD series. So I really want Obsidian to do well but I am still going to return KotOR 2, because I need to use my free market voice to tell them that I won't accept a buggy-ass XBox game, even ithough it could have been fantastic. And if a new KotOR comes out with the same engine and a great story in a year and half or two, then I'll get it. But if it's buggy, I'll return that one too.

 

I'm just hoping that they can release a fixed version, like a v1.1 for the XBox in a month or two and I can get that and play the **** out of it, hopefully with the store credit I get for returning this one.
