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.
You accept KOTOR which just throws in a few "generic KISS rejects" that mysteriously (i.e. completely unexplained by the game) call themselves Sith and exclusively use red lightsabres. But on the other hand, you don't accept SWTOR which brings back Sith (not just humans, but also redskin ones) that use red lightsabres (there are quite a few Sith in TOR who don't use red lightsabre btw).
Judging from your posts, you seem to hate human Sith. Assumingly because you like TOTJ, which mysteriously made Sith redskin species (it has been a while since I read it but I am pretty sure they offer no explanation). If we go back to the point where the concept of Sith was actually created, namely OT. Vader was not a redskin alien. He was a human and in fact unmasked he looked pretty much like what you would refer to as "generic KISS reject". So why didn't you protest when TOTJ made Sith into redskin aliens and contradicted what we see in OT? Why did you just accept the crap that completely contradicted to what you knew from OT, and why did you begin to hate everything that actually goes in parallel with OT? SWTOR, if anything, just tried to salvage the mess TOTJ made and connect the dots the best it could.
