One of Kotor2's problems is that you only use a few of your allies, some of them never even leave the ship, and it gets even worse when they start becoming jedi. (I won't even go into how dumb I thought it was that "all" the Jedi were dead or in hiding after such a short time span in between games). More action as well, not droning on endlessly about echoes and force bonds. The games need to have that sorta desperate, epic and prolonged struggle vibe to them. The heroes destroyed the death Star and rescued the galaxy in A New Hope, but the Empire was still there, as were its leaders and it came back even stronger. I'd rather see a story arc done over a few games, where they are fighting the real Sith Empire, yet not expecting to defeat it outright in the very first game. I hope in KOTOR3, and the sequels that hopefully follow, we're not going to see one boring large story after another. The guy was all hype.Īnyways, I much prefer KOTOR1 to TSL, by quite a large margin. They really went too far with it, tried to make it too epic, and failed miserably as a result. With Nihilus, it was like they tried to show him as darkness embodied, all powerful.
He was still trying to unlock the full potential of the Star Forger to grow even stronger. Here he was bringing the Republic to its knees and yet he wasn't even able to face his old Master man to man to take the Dark Lord title. He was just some Sith Lord, strong but not all powerful.
At least with Malak, you had this connection to him, this personal score to settle over his betrayal of your former self. The villains in general sorta sucked in TSL.
Gee whiz, hidden Sith and boy they're dark, and even more evil! And that Nihilus in who's vision I'm no more than a spec! Oh, did I just cleave him down with a handful of lightsaber strikes? All that build up for that? Only I, the exiled Jedi, could've managed that? Don't get me wrong, some stuff was good/interesting, but how many times did I really need to hear about the force "echoes". I wouldn't really call TSL's writing "great".
