That cracked me up. Poor Paren T. Less dude... But, yeah, I thought about it, too, and Revan would really fit in that Anakin-Skywalker-kind-of story.
But on the note of the original question... I always play Light Side. Why? Well, I'm one of the few who actually adore long conversations, I like finishing
all the quests, talking to all the people, finding out every little tidbit of information I can get my greedy little hands on. But apart from that personal geek gain, playing LS is so much more fulfilling. I'm not really enjoying myself when I run around screaming "Aaarrgh leave me alone you worms I'll crush you with my awesome DS powers grrrwwaaarrrgghhhh I hate you all
POWER!!!!!..." You get the picture.
And I don't find myself at any loss regarding powers. I'm quite happy with Stasis, Destroy Droid, Force Wave, and old faithful Heal. Sure, when I don't know what to choose, I can always take Storm or Kill and suffer the little penalty, but in battles I usually Stasify the opponents, hack and slash away, and have a darksider electrocute them with Storm all the while.
Wow. Putting it like this, I am cruel.
I play LS because I love all the little people.
And deep down I strongly believe in happy endings.
But as to the whole Sith Philosophy vs. Jedi Philosophy vs. Grey Side Philosophy discussion... I guess I'd see it from Jolee's point of view. Grrwaarggh Kill Kill Kill darksiders are annoying, and so are preachy lightsider Jedi. Both the Codes are a bit doubtful. I'd go light side to the end (when you reach the glow and little stars, probably the Jedi equivalent of an aureola
), but I'd stay human, as good old Revan so rightly put it.
Since I haven't finished KotOR II yet, I don't know much about the 'questions' some of you have mentioned, but I remember the way my faith was shaken back when I faced Bastila on the Rakatan Temple Summit. And Malak's departing words hit me deeply. Kudos to KotOR, it's really not as plastic and black-and-white as some other SW franchise expansions, or indeed the original movies.
