I’ve finished Kashyyyk, Tatooine and Korriban, and just fought Malak. So far, I’ve been underwhelmed (Taris and Dantooine; had most fun playing Pazaak), somewhat interested (Kashyyyk; Jolee), disappointed (Tataooine; HK-47), vaguely interested (Korriban; sith backstabbing), and utterly disappointed (sith ship; ‘dramatic revelation’).
This is one of BioWare’s most beloved RPGs, so what am I missing here? The writing’s mostly bland, and occasionally cringe-worthy.The only character I like is Jolee. The combat’s a chore; there’s no fight that can’t be won by haste + critical hit + duelling and/or Jolee’s lightning. I don’t get it--how can people possibly think KotOR2 (broken though it was) is inferior to this?
But having made it this far, should I soldier on? Is Manaan worth playing through? Or should I just uninstall the game and play Thief Gold for the seventh time instead?
