I'm a few years removed, as someone from LF previously, so I hope you folks don't mind me adding my piece.
I will admit I've never been of a single mind how the novel (which I'm sure you all would agree is little more than a connector piece for the games and the plots of SWTOR) ended things off, nor how the MMO treated...what little I've seen of the KOTOR story as a player.
I do not think the Exile was done justice. Revan...while I understand DK had his views (making Revan cosmopolitan, modern, multicultural in an image like himself), his story seems rushed looking back at it now. It isn't *entirely* his fault but that doesn't really lessen the sort of abruptness of the story. .......Then again at least they didn't dictate writing out the characters like R* did to Johnny Klebbitz in GTA5. On re-reads of the Bane trilogy, I can see things I missed, while others are either implicit where you have to fill in the blanks for yourself or are slight oversights. Still one of my favorite trilogies, though.
As far as the MMO... OK...So my consular helped break Revan out of his alchemy imprisonment. My bum-hug friend who had the game spoiled a bit for me after that. While I'm glad Revan and that ghost of the Exile played some significant role in a flashpoint or two, it's largely been relegated to an optional footnote. Trying to appeal to a casual audience. So, I guess maybe it leaves a bit to be desired personally.
Mainstream fans don't get it and never will care to. The company went where it thought it could cash in and left us relatively hanging.
EA is maligned and not without reason. Seems like most companies are in a similar rut to be honest. It's been a turbulent decade and the game industry has been slowing. Industry was understandably looking for an eager new direction. Unfortunately now it's like the market has moved towards activists taking a **** on everything while content creators put the barrel of a shotgun in their mouths and threaten to pull the trigger with their toe. Makes me bang my head on the desk.
At this point people are saying what I've been thinking now for awhile: there's a certain dignity in death. If nothing else, you lot here have your hands on the assets of some of the best parts. All I have is Daz Studio and imagination.
