Thanks for doing the write up :) Appears I'm putting down some change for the PC release.

i agree with pretty much most of what the original poster commented on.

the only disappointment i have with the game is the lack of difficulty, especially the endbosses.

i guess i was also one of the lucky ones that never ran in to any game stopping bugs so the technical issues werent really a problem for me.

oh yeah, and the ending was a bit sub-par and....unsatisfying. but otherwise, the rest of the game was good and a good sequel to kotor1.

My biggest problem whit KoTOR was that I had to be uber good, or uber evil. I couldn't play as a neutral charter. Like a guy who just want to suevive (chaotic neutral), or the old jedi who joins you in the game (something like true nutral). Is it the same in this aspect?

playing neutral cuts you from one party member and from the prestige classes. The only real thing i found that was an advantage was that there is an item that responds to you and has special aspects if you're true neutral.

"How did it happen? Did their filthy neutrality seep into your heart?"

Eh...the neutral side of the force?

from what you had posted elsewhere it sounded like you'd only played like 10-15 minutes into it.

me neither. I only had one hard-lock, but it was from me doing something kinda bone-headed.

On Dxun, after having the Mandalorian challenge me and telling him we could kill the Zankag together, i proceeded to run straight through the trails aggroing all of the creatures. After getting most of the jungle pissed at me the game hard-locked. I think it was a combonation of me having left the game running for a couple days and also over-flowing the games AI buffer.

Other than that, i just ran into a couple irritation - but not game stopping - issues.

KOTOR 1 used to tell me which powers I had activated.

The side stories with other people on the Ebon Hawk appear to be difficult to unlock.

Why is itso hard to buy a droid repair kit? You collect all that money and not many good items to purchase. I do like the drop.

In the first game I had the option to kill Juhani, leave Zalbaar on the Wookie homeworld and such. I can't leave Atton in his cell, kill Visas, or the Handmaiden. I would leave Kreia in the morgue if that were an option.

When I set Kreia's armor to none she's still wearing Jedi Robes. Visas says its her life for mine, yet she won't wear the dancer's costume, maybe that's because of all the lost influence.
