Hmm...I'm not quite sure.
I don't really know Obsidian's track record, but I think they did a pretty good job handling the franchise, and it definitely didn't come out any lesser for their work on it.
Yeah...deadlines for game development teams are a *****.
They're the most miserable excuse for unfinished or incompletely realized content that could have made the final product not just good, but great.
They got a saying: "You can't rush art"...I wish publishers would heed that and let the dev teams have the time to go over everything and come out with a truly spectacular creation.
Actually, I thought it was fairly direct...though certainly much changes in between the time of the first and where you start off in SL.
They can't really pick up on Revan again, seeing as how he's gone and vanished into the unknown (though I wish they would), so they basically picked his successor...who ends up going and doing the exact same thing, rather frustratingly.
I don't quite mind the MMO, to think of it, as long as Revan and his disciples, and their fates, feature prominently in the quests, so you actually have a chance of finding out what the 2nd game withheld from gamers.
Haha, you're quite the ladies' man, aren't you?
...Or do you just go for the catfights?
