Oh really? Not that I'm badmouthing the game or anything but do you think everyone will like KOTOR 2's story? It's complex story might appeal to some, but at the same time turn off some players as well. I fall into the latter camp because I'm not a fan of complex stories. Unanswered questions floating around during 3/4 of a scene only to be explained near the end? Not my cup of tea.

Not to mention that the story seem to revolve around Kreia rather than the Exile. It's as if she is the star of the show instead of the main character. What kind of story is that? Might as well make Kreia the main character instead of the Exile.

Influence system is good, I agree, but it still have flaws. One wrong answer, and that person will sulk for a very long time. You can't get much out info of him after that.

Team members being much better than KOTOR? I don't think so. They still have AI problems that plagued the first instalment. Running into mines is a constant headache and most of the time, they don't even know how to fend for themselves during a battle. Always have to babysit them just like the good old days of Rainbow Six. I detest that.
