Here's how I see it. The reason why Kotor is so fascinating, and eirgo successful, is because it delves entirely in the mythos from Dark Horse Comics and other fiction. I think that if they go back to the time of Exar Kun, or even better, back when the first sith were branching off from the Jedi, they'd have a solid release without extending Kotor 1 and 2's storyline.

With that said, there could easily be a direct sequel to kotor 2, Kreia talked about how there is a powerful sith force operating outside of know space, and that's where Revan went off to fight. The exile, if light sided, presumably went there as well, as it was one of the choices Kreia spoke about. There could be a third party, completing the neccessary amount of key jedi, to combat this huge sith force.

Or they could go many years into the future, much further from the events of kotor 1 and 2, but still many centuries before the events of the original star wars. Either way, I'm really stoked for this sequel, and I hope it comes out soon.
