So maybe that is a good demonstration of how an ending could hurt a game. But I think if they'd been given time to actually get everything in, it would have been fine.

I don't know, man. That game lacked soul, IMO. I didn't dislike it, but it never even approached KOTOR as far as gripping me went (this is before I even realized the ending blew).

I actually played a chunk of it last year in preparation for TOR. I liked it a lot more in 2011 than I remember liking it back in 2004 or whenever it came out.

I actually enjoyed NWN2 and thought it was great, but I didn't have any KOTOR expectations when I started playing it. The problem with KOTOR 2 was that the bar was set so freaking high by KOTOR.

Agreed. I especially liked the female NPCs (the thief and the dark jedi) - they were really interesting characters. I liked the added weapon components as well. It was all good up until the end, which was stunningly bad. You go back to the ship, take off, and...... nothing. It kept hinting around that you'd run into Revan, but.... nothing.

That was just awful.

This is what happened with Revan and the Jedi Exile if you want to know, it's part of the storyline leading into The Old Republic (all of it's detailed in a novel called Revan).
Spoiler!

Pirated version is now out for all 3 systems....fail.

Well, that's depressing. I kept hoping they'd do a third with Revan as the main character. Instead they did this MMO shit which I'll never play.

:cuss:

Only on Xbox 360, PS3 and now PC are "out".

I didn't realize I had the soundtrack already. Listening to it, I'm already missing Jack Wall. :(

Haven't heard anything approaching this...

Have you done the Maelstrom Prison in TOR yet?

Well ya, was just sayin'. I can wait to play this for another month or so. I was replaying ME2 a few months ago but i'm currently burned out on it. Syndicate crashed on me and pissed me off, it's back to Amalur.

No, I felt lucky getting my guild to do Taral V a couple weeks back. I do know everything that happens, though. That one's been a controversial thing since long before the game came out.
