I am still wondering though... I have a hunch that you and darklordoftech haven't even played KOTOR and SWTOR (at least not through it). It seems like you are hating something you don't exactly know much about.
No, I haven't played either game, and don't have much wish to -- I'm more-or-less a retro gamer, so I prefer to stick with older games, and I don't think I'd have the patience to get through an RPG-style game, anyway.
As for your main argument, I don't hate KOTOR; I even accept certain tidbits introduced in the game -- the Mandalorian Wars and the Jedi Civil War, in particular -- as canon within my personal SW Universe. I'm just not fond of the way the Sith are portrayed in the video game.
TOR, on the other hand, I do hate. I'm sick to death of the nth amount of Sith Wars that are cluttering up the EU, and this Sith War in particular pisses me off, as it purports to bring back the original Sith Empire but only features more generic KISS rejects with red lightsabers. Playing the game wouldn't change my opinion of it, since I find the concept and the plot themselves rotten to the core.
