Why

[jedipodo]

I think the most interesting question is "why?". Dear developers, we have yet to be given a reason for this "disaster".

 

Haven't the devs always lured us with statements like "Bad things will happen to good people"?

 

I suppose that a "complete" version of KotOR2 indeed existed and was tested:

 

Quote taken from an online game magazine:

LucasArts tell us that various team members cried during testing, and not because of bugs. If it can reduce those developing it to emotional wrecks, just imagine what it could do to us.

 

"emotional wrecks"? Is this the reason why they left the scenes out in the final version?

 

And if you read what some reviewers have written about the influence system of the game ("influence with a character will especially be important at the end of the game, you will see", e.g.), you could come to the conclusion that this stuff has been in some early press releases.
