As with any RPG, characters and locations play a big part in how the game feels. This time around, you get a new crop of interesting characters that can join with you throughout the game. Perhaps the most interesting is an old woman named Kreia, who professes not to be a Jedi, but still has some uncanny powers. Even early in the game, you find that Kreia just isn't quite sure what her leanings are (light side or dark side) and she has access to both sets of powers. She is somewhat of a mentor to your character, but she is neither sickening sweet nor incredibly vicious. She offers you insight and assistance, but does a good job of maintaining a sort of hostile neutrality. It will be interesting to see how her story pans out.​
