PeterScott: Well, thanks to endless rain (40 year river levels and floods here), I finished Kotor II.
Not as good as KOTOR 1. Too much feels like filler meant to pad length, which increases frustration level.
Peragus and Telos are major joy killers right off the start.
I really didn't like the times it forces you to play as different characters. I don't want to play the other characters... Especially the damn droid sequence on Nar Shaddaa. Maybe do this once for novelty factor. But it was overdone.
I never encountered the Droid factory. Also don't blame the game for including that crappy content. That was a fan decision, and thus shows my problem with using fan content. I played KOTOR 2 the first time without fan content. I think I had more problems this time using TSLRCM.
I had the same impressions about TSLRCM. While some additions are nice, others really killed the pacing and made it quite boring. The prime example in Nar Shaddaa where you have to fight way more than previously, and the fights are mostly really tedious. Not as good as KOTOR 1.

But I also think that KOTOR 2 loses a lot of its appeal on repeated playthroughs. I loved it when I played it the first time, but enjoyed it significantly less each time I replayed it.
