Kotor II just does not obey the rules of how the force works in any of the films or any other material for that matter. It does not feel like star wars. While Kotor gets star wars tone perfectly, even if its a clone of star wars motifs.

KOTOR III would have ironed out the wrinkles and made the trilogy fit as a whole. BUT II is a game that feels completely rushed and only 40% done and multitudes of glitches.

I have not seen anything so poor since except for maybe dragon age II by bioware. Obsidian though has a reputation for putting out unfinished godawful,buggy games.

Other than the obviously cut content and the fact that the game feels like its on the rails and not very explorable. The lack of an actual ending is its worst fault.

Having Kreia tell you the futures of your party is no ending. Its laughable and the game as is should have never been released in its current state on the Xbox.

I won't get into TOR and how it basically retconned all of KOTOR I and II. Its no way near what the originally story for III would have been.

Even the Revan novel is no placeholder for a non-existing game.
