And yeah, next polls I do I'll make them public so we can see who keeps voting 1 on all the polls. Doesn't really effect the end results but it's still fun to know who it is.

the sith old lady is just cringe and annoying, that's my major complaint with the game (spoiler: she was a babe in the last game though)

other complaints I have is that the AI is not improved one iota from the previous game, enemies use no tactics, you should for sure play the game on the harder difficultly as I am, but you'll be put into a few situations which are straight unbeatable by traditional means if you didn't see them coming

for example, one of your future jedi allies is waiting to kill you in your ship, and you have to fight her by yourself, if you encounter this fight before you have a lightsaber, and you didn't put your skill points majorly into Will (which dictates how hard it is to resist your force powers) this fight is impossible unless you turn the difficulty to easy or do as I did, make the AI pathing glitch out

another example is you have to fight 2 twi swordswomen with your rogue ally in a cantena, and if you never used this guy, and so never upgraded his equipment, this fight is impossible

another complaint I have is they didn't even add one additional non-combat skill, when the game could really use one, as it is, it's really easy to never encounter a skillcheck that's too hard for the majority of the game because you can level your allies in a way where you assign them one specific skill to handle and dump all the points into that skill

again you only get an artificial difficulty in this because in some situations it'll force you to take allies you don't want

yet another complaint is the way the loyalty system works where you influence your allies to the light and dark, this can actually **** you if you have a character with dark side powers, because as they turn to the light all their powers cost more force points, that just feels bad man

the pacing in this one is pretty whack as well

you are weak for the first 40%, then it reaches a good balance for maybe 10% of the game, and then you reach absolute god mode just as you get into the 2nd half, requiring more XP to level or lengthening out the tiers in force powers would have made the pacing much better

an RPG needs that moment of taking out legions of thugs without breaking a sweat to show you how strong you've become, I just wish this occurred later in the game

Pro:

the degree of grey in the story and quests, every part of the game goes out of its way to muddy the waters, while it's always clear which choices will award you with light points and which ones will push you to the dark side, most of the time both choices often come across as having solid motivation

in the previous game the dark choices were all just outlandishly dick moves

you can also play a true neutral Grey Jedi complete with a Silver lightsaber by just making the choices based on what seems most reasonable to you in each situation and having a high enough charisma score to use both light and dark powers

It's just the curse of the Jersey Blood coursing through DwnWthVwls' veins, compelling him to be a cunt and give all the games he's never played 1's.
