I haven't been on in a while because I was giving the whippin' to KOTOR. Awesome game! I just bought KOTOR 2 and it's kinda, uh, well, ...yeah.

... It starts off making "some" sense of things but gets really distracting with way too many "bonus quests." Sure, there are some new and interesting force powers, I enjoy being a Consular because of the exceptional force use and I'm rich as crap and only a bit into the game.
The sordid side must emerge though... After the second area that I ended up on, I still didn't have a lightsaber. Unlike the events in KOTOR, after Taris, you got the lightsaber! In KOTOR 2, I had to do too much stuff just to finally get some pieces to put a lightsaber together. The characters that you meet up with in KOTOR 2 are not as influential as those in the first. Darth Scion (is that the car company owned by Toyota?) and Darth Nihilus look cool as Hell! what a concept! But wait, hang on, when are they going to do something cool?
After playing a bit of this game and losing patience with it rather quickly, I was wondering if it would be best to start over and become a Sith instead and maybe things would move at a faster pace. I don't think that would help here. Unlike KOTOR, I shaved about three hours off of my play time when I chose the dark side as opposed to my light side alliance.
My opinion, this game should have been set at a much later time, not 4-5 years after Revan. Revan was friggin' awesome! Let there be a time of peace and saftey after Revan, then someone can come along and claim bad-@ss of the galaxy and start trouble again. Where did Revan go to anyway?!
