The gaps are especially apparent towards the end, probably as the dev's neared their deadline, when you can just notice some significant portions missing and you have to struggle to keep up with the story or give up on it and make it all up for yourself as you go along.Worr Monger said:I hear ya... the original KOTOR was pretty solid. But #2 gave us so much more to work with.... Influencing our comrades, turning them into Jedi or Sith was really cool. Kreia was a great character until it essentially led nowhere.13lackfriday said:Yeah, you work so hard to get up to that point, making all your choices so carefully, watching the story unfold- All to have it suddenly cut off with almost zero explanation or sense of closure.Worr Monger said:It's amazingly annoying isn't it? But I still think the game is awesome... if only it had a better ending.13lackfriday said:I beat KOTOR2.
Its ending was the most anticlimatic, psuedo-cliffhangerish bullshit dickslap-in-the-face I've ever encountered.
Yet I thoroughly enjoyed it
I played me some Starcraft SP.... finishing up Protoss. Might play some Gears of War later.
But yeah, like you said, it IS a hellvua journey up to that point.
My biggest gripe with the game (or the entire series for that matter) is that again and again, we are given control over the fate of a disgraced Jedi in search of redemption, and when we finally gain it, after countless battles and the forging of many strong bonds with our comrades (some romantic...), we are forced by the plot (for the sake of canon) to drop everything and abandon all we have accomplished to disappear into some godforsaken abyss, never to return or have our final fate revealed.
The game was just really unfinished... I wish someone would just completely revamp it. What really got me... is when I turned the Handmaiden into a Sith (I gave her the dark side speech and all that goodness).... yet she still lectured me... "Be careful or you'll fall to the dark side".. What the hell?
I also thought the romance scenarios were great... having the chicks be jealous over each other was fantastic... but unfortunately... let to nothing.
I think the problem was.. it wasn't really made by Bioware.. it was Obsidian... whom generally make good games based on Bioware's previous titles... but I think Lucas Arts rushed the deadline.. er someone did.13lackfriday said:
