Just picked up KOTOR 2 as well. I'm confused about all of the praise the writing gets. During the first level you have logs of the miners going "Hey, we found a droid on the mysterious vessel we brought in, and we sent it to reprogram all of the robots." "Hey, after we sent the droid to reprogram all the robots they've started killing the miners; I wonder what caused that." "Hmm, the mining robots keep killing the miners, so we've decided to have the miners wear extra armor while we send them to work with the robots. We asked the droid who reprogrammed the robots if he knows why they suddenly started killing us, but he just gave evasive answers. Huh."
The two companions you pick up are both pretty annoying as well. The guy is a pretty cliche rogue type; I'm guessing there will be a big reveal about why he was really imprisoned later on that I'm supposed to care about. Kreai was somewhat interesting at first, but then she decided that she's my teacher and is going to lecture me about everything.
Gameplay seems to be cut and paste trash mobs all over the place + loot containers.
Decent atmosphere though, and we don't get a lot of space opera RPGs. KOTOR 2 makes me wish someone made one that was well done.
(Also, this was ranked the 19th best RPG of all time by the Codex? Explains a lot, I guess.)
