bansama: It ends on a really annoying cliffhanger that was meant to transition into the second half of the game. So as it stands, the actual story has never been finished =(

trusteft: If you want to buy the game, go ahead, but I am willing to bet you will never not just finish it, but play even half way through it. And even if you do manage to play all the way through, you are going to be pissed off by the ending.

predcon: And don't rewrite my comments in your quotes, that's confusing to other readers.

Navagon: Oh, and do you think you could edit that list out of your post, please? It's a bit much for such an off topic post.

Navagon: Yeah. I didn't even buy it before that was finally released. To be honest with you, I'm not sure why they bothered. Even if it was finished, the game was never going to be good. All the additional work you could give it wouldn't have saved it. Had it not had the Star Wars name it would have been immediately discarded as a decidedly below average game.
I know Obsidian still aren't familiar with the concept of working within time and budget constraints, but I was under the impression they new how to write a good story, deep and entertaining characters, inject humour where appropriate and script quests that weren't mind bogglingly dull. Their work, before and since, has suggested they can do that.
It was and always will be a tedious, unbalanced and broken game.

predcon: Steam doesn't have it, even though they have the Deus Ex duology, so they must have SOME kind of dialogue with whomever owns the Ion Storm licenses. I looked for a physical copy, but yet again, everyone who's selling one seems to thing that "Old means rare, and rare means I get to sell it for beau-coup bucks". Especially that "HitGaming" store on Amazon. Have you checked out his storefront? It's ridiculous! Old GBA games for upwards of $60! But I divan. Ion Storm didn't release the game on the Playstation, opting instead for a Dreamcast release, so I doubt I'll be able to get it on the PSN (I say this assuming that Eidos owns Ion Storm, and Sony owns Eidos. Or was it Square that owns Eidos? Does Sony own Square?).

drmlessgames: Interesting that Anachronox came out along with Deus Ex from the same studio that brought that train wreck known as John Romero's Daikatana.

Snickersnack: Did you like KoTOR1?

Navagon: Yes, Star Wars does typically have a very much more black and white take on morality. But then that's just a part of the whole nature of the fantasy setting it resides in. The force takes people in one direction or the other.
It's basically swords and sorcery in space, after all. Well, lightsabres and force powers in space.
Which might explain why KoTOR 2's character development seemed so forced. Like it was trying to wedge the concept of neutrality into a deeply polarised universe.
Yes. Loved it at the time. But I feel that Mass Effect has surpassed it quite considerably now. I still miss pazak though. If RPGs have to have mini games then that's how they should be done.

Wishbone: Sounds like Advent Rising. Excellent game, but rather disappointing that it was made as the first part of a trilogy, the two last chapters of which were never made. For some reason, lots of people here have said how much they hate it. I found it very much like Mass Effect 1, both in style and quality.

drmlessgames: And that's why Star Wars sucks. It's DnD for retards. : )
