Just because Kreia differs from the usual cookie cutter good jedi/evil sith stereotype doesn't make her character deep. She is just a vehicle for a very simple statement.
Except...
For one thing, a lot of her is left for the player to conclude out for himself, such as whether or not she is Brianna's mother and the exiled Jedi Master.
Another thing that sets her apart is that unlike 90% of antagonists in fiction, a large portion of her motivation comes from her love (type of which is largely left ambiguous, again) for the Exile. All her actions are on some level directed towards guiding the Exile to become her greatest student, and for him to make the choice to extinguish the Force.
She also admits that she is living a contradiction, that she is forced to use the very thing she hates because without it she is just a frail old woman. And thus like always before in her life, the Force again controls her moves, and she hates it for that. But, there are times when it is spoken of in reverence, such as when Brianna asks the Exile what is it like to feel the Force.
She also gives perhaps the most valid mentor lessons in any game, for what she says is often very intelligent and insightful. And most of all, she always tells you that her views are not the absolutely correct ones, but that you must consider and decide for yourself. All she asks of the Exile is to respect her and listen to what she thinks.
And of course, there's the final confrontation with the Jedi Council, where she pretty much entirely destroys the pedastal the Jedi stand on as infallible and wise heroes.
