I hated how you couldn't be manipulative or have much choice, you were just strung by those who were far superior at planning.

 

There was really no choice in the matter, conflicts didn't end by how you acted, they ended one way only, regardless of alignment. The only thing you could manipulate was party members.

 

No matter what, you were always tricked, never the one who gets to trick somebody else. You know what it's like to be played, but not playing someone else.

[metadigital]

The wasted potential of a brilliant concept to have shades of grey in the black-and-white shallowness of SW with the negligible writing produced in the released K2 game.

[bsofdeath]

again not being able to develop a deep romance with handmaiden *sigh* hopefully theyll improve for kotor 3

[Dodecahedron87]

It was far too easy. All the potential depth of the combat and character systems was wasted by the fact that you simply didn't need any of it.

[Laozi]

I have yet not to cringe at the mention of the "True Sith". I'm not a fan of the EU, but it seems quite clear what happened to those who are of the Sith Race. The Death of the Force was total cheese. The game had atmosphere, but lacked depth.

[EnderAndrew]

I think the game had depth, but it lacked closure. I spent far more time thinking about the concepts and plot of this game than any other Star Wars game to date.

same here but Mira instead, for me.

[bsofdeath]

i know man, who ever makes kotor 3 NEEDS to like expand romance. I mean there was so much potential in kotor 2 but yet tehy didnt. I mean if obsidian or bioware or what company makes kotor 2 does this for us people that want romances man they will be GODS!!!! "

[nightcleaver]

The events of the story were never truly tied together, in any clear way. It was all bits and pieces for you to find, figure out, and struggle for. Bits and pieces are good, but only if thet have a center to them; and I don't feel like the game's story had a true center.

[Weiser_Cain]

That keira was the key to everything to the point that taking anyone else with you was almost a waste. That and how unfinished the game was.

[jodo kast 5]

it also had too many damn loose ends. <_<

[Darth Tater]

To many un-needed force powers, by the end of the game i had more force powers that yoda, Anakin and obi Wan put together

[Weiser_Cain]

No such thing!

[Darth Tater]

No such thing!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

As what?

[Musopticon?]

As too many powers, potatoguy.

[metadigital]

That's Darth Spud, to you.

[Musopticon?]

I was looking for a "less official" way to write it, but didn't come across one. Thanks, dude.

Yep. Couldn't agree more

 

Whatever happened to things like:

- tricking 2 sith masters to argue with one another while you get the whole profit from it,

- forcing the ever so neutral and having laws that suposedly everyone must obey fishies to let you walk freely on their planet after destroying their kolto + poisoning the water which surely caused alot of fishies to die

- using Chuundar to your own ends

- make Zaalbar kill Mission (even after he says "Chuundar learned me how to use you to our own profits" or sth like that)

- everyone and I MEAN EVERYONE who pissed you off could be brought to suffering in the end

 

In K2 your most highly manipulative option was like changing the salvager's will LOL :D

 

And I miss those sittuations where you really felt powerful after doing something.

In K2 I even felt like it was cuz Kreia helped me that I defeated a Jedi Master (cuz she learned me one of the force/lightsaber techniques when fighting him).

And I defeated Nihil cuz I'm a wound in the force :/

Also there were three big bad Sith Lords you were supposed to fight, but that's two too much I think.

There was not enough anticipation and tension leading up to the final confrontations, which resulted in 2 underdeveloped, superficial Sith Lords.

Instead there should have been one enemy which was far more developed etc. Like Malak in KotOR, with which you had a history, you knew a lot about, and you had all the anticipation leading up to that final battle.

 

Of course now it's too late to criticize The Sith Lords. I think it was a great game anyway, in its own way.

 

KotOR 3 though should go back to its roots and go more the way of the original KotOR.

So let's look to the future, and hope KotOR 3 will be better than The Sith Lords and maybe even better than KotOR.

KOTOR 1 made me believe that my character was really out to save the galaxy and that it's fate rested on my shoulders. . But In KOTOR II, I didn't feel that way. Beating up on a trio of sith lords seemed anticlimatic. I also didn't like how everythng that your character did in KOTOR I, didn't seem to matter,.

my main gripes are:

the scene on malachor 5 where you control the remote and all you do is run(hover?) to 4 different consoles. and what was with one of the proton things exploding on the ravager? the little things like these really didn't add much to the story and just frustrate the gamer by making you mindlessly run back and forth. they would be much better suited to short cutscenes

 

the whole final 1/4 of the game just wasn't as epic as i had hoped it to be. but then i may have had too high expectations from the original game

 

darth nihilus.. the first cutscene i saw of him had me in awe of how badass he was. then when i finally get to face off i kill him in 30 seconds flat. falls in above category i guess

 

master vrook

 

but all in all an EXCELLENT game, just not one that i could play through more than twice like i could with kotor1. speaking of which i might fire up kotor1 again

[Bytor]

I hated the way you had to keep the disc in your PC to run the game.

[Darth_Schmarth]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Agreed. KotOR2 kind of... belittled and rewrote KotOR1 in a way it didn't have a right to do.

[w666tvr]

I hated the way you had to keep the disc in your PC to run the game.

The way of the world, I'm afraid. It is difficult to hold that against the game when everyone does it.

 

Refusing to run - even when the disc is in the drive - because you have CD emulator software installed, now that is beyond the pale. And, before you ask, I don't have this software, I just deplore the current practice of doing this. Unfortunately, it's not difficult to envisage a time when everyone does this, too.

 

The whole entertainment industry (music, film and games) is losing it when they treat their paying customers as potential thieves.
