Yeah, LucasArts does have an irritating habbit of doing that. What's worse - the dialogue for the alternate and darker endings has already been written and is IN the game files. Just.... GRRR!

Oh well, we'll always have Planescape. :D

I can definately see some similarities between KotOR and Firefly. Old Jedi Book, worn out ship with a disjointed band of eccentrics that somehow join up against (or with?!?!?) a manipulative empire. They both have a wry sense of humor (Can I just kill the meatbags now?) But man, HOW WHINY WAS CARTH? Boohoo, the Sith this, the Sith that, you destroyed everything in life I cared about.

"Oh well, we'll always have Planescape. :D"
Amen. I've never played a game with more philosophy, interesting characters, and mind-bending events. I can't believe people love the Icewind Dale games without even giving PS: T a chance.

People don't like to be meddled with.

What, a large corporation controlling the design and screwing with the concept?! Sounds like there's something else it has in common with Firefly.

I loved KOTOR. Come to think of it I think I will reinstall it.

FAQA

Glad I'm not the only one who thought of the parallel.

Jayne, BTW, is SO HK-47. Completely. He's not Canderous, he's who Canderous pretended to be.

Brutal, violent and lives to kill. Jayne is Mal's HK-47.

Mal, meanwhile, is of course, a cross between Carth and the Exile from KOTOR2(mostly in his darkness and charisma).

I never thought of Jolee/Book, though. Weird, but perfect.

Anyone have a match for the Tams? I'm drawing a blank.

In retrospect, the gameplay in the first KOTOR was somewhat lackluster although it was a pretty good attempt at turning starwars d20 into a video game, and the story only had one major plot twist and was otherwise fairly predictable.

But it was a fun game anyway, the first time I really felt like a game portrayed Star Wars and the classic good versus evil story well since the days of Kyle Katarn (before those games even got a little weaksauce).

I still think they should have had Revan canonically be female. It's a more surprising reveal. Oh well.

And Carth isn't so bad. He's basically a more outspoken sensitive paranoid Mal, right down to his homeworld being destroyed and losing his family, but still got his heart in the right place. I didn't romance him (still a weird concept for me), but I do think he's a more interesting companion than Bastilla and the wooden stilts she had surgically introduced to her colon. Whether she was darkside, lightside, and with or without force powers.

Never actually played the second one, because I'd heard it turns into a giant mess. Didn't feel like investing hours of play into something that just falls apart at the end.
