| I don't know if they can avoid it in Kotor III. Assuming the story revolves around the events of the previous two games, your character will have to already be a Jedi or be able to become one quickly.
I do agree that it's rather stupid. Kotor I had a good reason behind your speedy advancement. Kotor II's reasoning was iffy to me, at least as far as your party members were concerned, since you were already a Jedi it wasn't too big of a deal for you to relearn your skills. What I would like, is for them to do whatever they're going to do with Kotor III, completely wrapping up the story so there aren't any real lingering questions, and then move to a different period in time (they've got 4,000 years before the movies, I think they ought to be able to fit another story or two in there somewhere).
Once the whole Revan-thing is covered, they could do what you're saying and have a slowly building Jedi... perhaps even one that (gasp) isn't (or doesn't turn into) the most powerful Jedi in the galaxy! Maybe a game were you get to train a Padawan and try to steer him or her away from the darkside.
I thought Jedi Academy was going to have something like that, but according to that game, you learn to be a Jedi by running from planet to planet, basically alone, with your already made lightsaber, saving the galaxy... hmm, makes sense...  |
