For anyone who saw Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan or Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back in theaters when they were released, there are several memorable things. First, they are regarded as the best in their respective series, and were recognized immediately as really good films by fans and the public at large. Second, they each worked very hard to intimately detail the characters and their relationships. Finally, they both had endings that were very frustrating for moviegoers, as they were left "hanging" as obvious bridges were made to future films, without any sense of closure.

That largely describes how I feel about Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II : The Sith Lords (hereafter KotOR2). It is difficult to describe everything I loved - and was disappointed with - about the game without presenting any information that would spoil the game, but I will make every attempt.
