| Kotor is a great game but... (SPOILERS maybe)
Well, there are some things I don't like. I'm still on Taris so maybe I'll change my mind but...
1) Too few skill points, especially for soldiers. Even with Int 12 I get only 1 skill point per level. Basically soldiers can just shoot things... and Carth calls your PC "an Elite Commando" or something like that!
2) A common problem with BioWare games like NWN (the original set): if you want to be bad you have to be a "B-Movie Evil Guy": sell the Rakghoul serum for money, selling the "promised lands" journals to satisfy Izgoul's (or whatever his name) power lust... I mean, Dark Side does not necessarily mean "Greedy and downright Bast*rd".
Look at Anakin SW I-III: he falls to the Dark Side but doesn't do this sort of things. Rather, he chooses "the easy way out", and acts out of selfishness and rage, with no self control...
I'd rather have a bit more DS options, but then again, I'm only at the beginning and my charachter's a bit low on persuade, so maybe as I play more I'll be able to find a way to be Dark Side the way I'd like it  |
