Well, the galaxy in KOTOR I/II is really a crapsack galaxy, especially in the second one. I guess I'll live on Tatooine? Man, that's saying alot when Tatooine is the best place to live in those games. Moisture farmer (Where those around in the Old Republic, don't remember...) it is then. >>
Another example, would be Tales of Vesperia? Hm, I rather liked that one city with all the guilds, Dahngrest. That place didn't seem too bad if memory recalls (Haven't played the game since my Xbox RROD'd)
