| Maybe it's like Empire... Remember the first time you saw Empire strikes back? If you were old enough to see it in the theatre the first time, most of us came out fairly chapped at how it ended. How could it possibly be that dark and depressing and the good guys lost??? And was Darth Vader REALLY Luke's father??? NO WAY!!!
It left so many questions unanswered that many, many of us thought it was the worst of the movies at the time. And the worst part was that it was going to be YEARS before you found out anything else! However, today it is widely regarded as the best of the Star Wars films. Partly for it's darkness and it's cliff hanger ending.
I sort of think that this game is set up to get the stage ready for going beyond the outer rim and searching for Revan and encountering this very evil force that lurks beyond Republic space.
Or maybe the developers were as confused as I was and decided they'd try to figure it out by the next game... |
