Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
The phenomenon of people who think that "KOTOR2 was Obsidian's only good game" is an interesting one. This isn't the first time I've seen it.

I think I can understand why they think that, but it's a sort of backwards logic. It's the opinion of people who are very very allergic to (what they consider) bad gameplay. They like KOTOR2 because it's the Obsidian game where the actual gameplay, while horrible, goes by the quickest. It's the game that most embodies the unfulfilled dream of Obsidian as an Avellone-dominated CYOA cinematic storyfag developer that gives up on combat entirely.

The combat was the only decent part of Kotor2. Not only do storyfags ruin rpgs with their shit obsession over stories, they never like any genuinely good or interesting story.

Troika was always the better developer, they took risks, released half finished games, but the halves that were actually finished... Fuck they were glorious.

Better to burn out in a blaze of rpg glory than to continue on for years of mediocrity.

Nah, I've just been using Google to see who picks this story up. Until now it was just NMA, RPGWatch, Gamebanshee, Boilerplate's site and a few foreign language forums.
