Bad things happened in KOTOR, but your rag-tag bunch of space drop-outs and rogues always made it seem like a pretty jolly adventure - dark-side inclinations aside. What's more is that while you were falling back to inject yourself with some adrenal stimulant or plotting a nifty Force Kill, you always knew that you had two other jedis (unless you were mad and took Mission and Zaalbar) to rely on for healing and battle heroics.
