What about a Sith Lords game?

This is all very cosy, talking about a KOTOR 3, and I seriously hope there is one, but what about taking the franchise in another direction, too?

All the films and games and that are about the light side's struggle against the dark, but what about the dark side's struggle against the light? It's clear the Jedi were always complete hypocrites, that they only went to war when it suited them, that they treated the Force as a burden rather than a gift, etc. So how's about going the other way?

edit.

Edit what, exactly?

Good question. In any case, the Sith, while having appeal, are the enemies and usurpers of balance in Lucas' fantasy realm. It's doubtful that there will ever be a game that is entirely pro-Sith.

There is a Darth Vader game coming out. No doubt it'll involve fighting Light-sided Jedi.

That's 'clear' in the sense of 'that's how you want it to be'.

Not 'clear' in the sense of 'remotely true in any way'.

I recall most SW games allowing you to "Choose your path.", so there are many of the games you've described. If you want a game where you're an actual Sith and not a Jedi at all, then that would be rather cool, I suppose.

I recall that in Battlefront II, KOTOR, Galactic Battlegrounds, Empire at War, Galaxies, JK, and ROTS, you could, in some way or another, kill someone of the Light Side.

There you go.

But thast's always in the wider backdrop of a story about good fighting against tyrannical evil. The thread poster wants the reverse.

But his basic premise about the Jedi is still incorrect.

Just as long as Bioware don't make it.

Wtf?
Bioware did a great job unlike the Obsidian amateurs.

Bioware completely obliterated the entire feel of the era that KotOR was set in by making it look like the PT. They wrecked the "Darth" continuity and they also had red lightsabres, which makes no sense.

Whereas Obsidian had to work with that mess, were rushed by Lucasarts and still made a cracking game. Huzzah to them!

Perhaps.

At least they were able to make a solid story in the first installment.
Kotor 2 ended 1 plot for every new 10 it started.

What about that little droid and GOTO? What about the ebonhawk?

Ever wondered why there is "Kotor 2 restoration project" going on?

Erm, because Lucasarts rushed the Obsidian development team?

Nicely done George.

I do hope the 3rd Kotor will be a bit more.... solid.

Yeah, they rushed it so they could get a Christmas release. Which is why about twenty gameplay hours are missing, plus hoods for robes and romance options.

Wheee romance options. I'd totally do HK...

Obsidian? Isn't that the name of an Order of Krath?
