| While I'm At It...
I've played both this game and TSL through some more now, and thought about it some more. I really like the game.
No one will ever make the perfact game, and that's ok, but if this game came close. Some people brought up some other good points though.
The NPC interaction was not expanded enough. After you solved their side quests, they were done with you. You did your last planets with minimal input from your team. Bummer.
Actually, I thought Carth had a good enough reason to be be a walking angst miester. If my mentor and hero did that to me, I'd whine a bit too. However, after helping him deal with both his son and Saul, one would expect him to open up a whole next level relationship with the PC, but he just clams up after that. (?) I liked Mission, she was being a teenager.
There are three characters in the team I don't use. Zalbaar, because he is slow, doesn't interract with anyone or anything in his environment outside of Kassyyyk, always looks totally depressed, Jolee because he is useless in a fight. he keeps saying "I still got it" just before he collapses to the ground after being hit once. Or twice. T3 who's just in the story to remiend us of Artoo. He unlocks one door, that's it. He does not interact at all with anything else in the game, not even other droids. Ironically, he's the one character with the most level-ups. He gets all his feats. But he's real boring.
The best weapons are to be found a bit too late in the game. I would have loved to take on Bendek Starkiller with the double bladed vibroblade that all those Vulkars carried but took with them to Vulkar Heaven when my PC killed them. (not that it's the best weapon, but it would be handy on Taris)
Fortunately, there's mods. Through mods, I can replace T3 and Zalbaar with better companions, and fix the Carth romance loop. If I hated Carth, I could do him in with fiendish glee. I can have a "fish fry" on Manaan.
Yanno, a KToR Expansion Pack would be a blast!
