the JOURNEY or the ENDING

I prefer the journey. Even if the ending to KOTOR:2 is poor, I'm still enjoying the game.

In the case of K2, the "journey" is it's saving grace. <_<

Both are important to me.

 

But If I had to choose something it would be the journey,

[KOTORFanactic]

Both are important like DSLuke said, but:

 

It's the journey what makes the man, the end is simply the conclusion of creation.

(I sound very philosophical there)

Still, the ending is very important, since it IS the conclusion.

[Daaave]

Journey is more important, however i think it is the ending which you are more likely to remember as it is the last thing to happen in the game.

[Muad'Dib]

Like many have stated, the journey is just as important as the ending. A great ending will suffer greatly from a poor journey as there will be no motivation to reach that ending, no one will care enough, no matter how good the ending is. But in the flipside, a poor ending has the capability to completely ruin a great journey for me.

 

How things turn out or how the characters end up after their journey has ended, if it does at all, greatly affects he way I appreciate the journey I've taken with them. I might have a wonderous journey, filled with triumph, defeat, sadness, joy or any other range of emorions but when that journey stops without closure or it ends in a way I was not hoping it to then it diminishes greatly the emotional investment I have put into the journey as a whole...I went through so much just to end up like that and every time I play again, I'm playing again to reach that again?

 

When storylines are involved the ending is just as important as the journey taken. For these reasons I can say that I like the LotR Trilogy even more, because Return of the King was the ending that journey promised and deserved, where as I like the SW OT less, because I dislike RotJ so much. But in the end, as much for the journey as the ending it is all left to the individual. What one finds to be a remarkable journey others will not, same as the endings.

 

I still like KotOR 2 very much, but I know now for sure that I do not like it above or as close as the original with all its faults, in great part due to the ending. If KotOR 3 delivers the ending to KotOR 2 that this game deserves, perhaps then I'll have a new appreciation for the second game and will reevalute my feelings about it. But as KotOR 3 will probably be with a new cast and maybe not even continue the story, if it's ever made, I'm not holding my breath.

 

But I think both are crucial to the story, game, movie, whatever. To not have one is to deliver a mediocre product which doesn't live up to the potential it had.

[General_Veers]

The ending is too abrupt.

I've only completed the LS ending, and to be completely honest -- I liked it.

 

All the questions I had were answered, save for

the Exile's next course of action -- will he/she go after Revan or continue to live in exile, now that the galaxy has been saved?

 

 

Seriously though -- other than that,

Kreia tells you EVERYthing you would want to know

!

 

I'm on my second playthrough right now, and I can't wait to see the DS ending!
