Tulak Hord was confirmed to be part of the Old Sith Empire, which is after the 100 Year Darkness and he had a lightsaber. Like I said, continuity means shit for bioware.
Tulak Hord could aslo have been one of the Exiles... Or it's possible he was not Khem Val's first master just his greatest. Also Tulak Hord using a lightsaber was not Bioware's fault that was Obsidian's.

That doesn't warrant ruining further continuity. They didn't change or axe the Exile, even though she was Obsidian's.

I know that. I'm talking about how you said that since Obsidian had Tulak Hord with a lightsaber, it is the company's fault. That doesn't mean Bioware can further ruin continuity because a rival company did something- DS has a point.

It was already confirmed that they brought lightsabers and even reinvented them. It was contact with the Sith during the Great Hyperspace War that introduced the Jedi to cord-less sabers, apparently. Why the Sith Lords didn't use them is probably because their Sith swords were of similar or greater strength thanks to ancient rituals the Sith race employed that was unknown to other Force users. Also, using blades was more visceral.

Hmm... True. I guess I'm just not the biggest stickler on continuty.Anyway, my only major gripe with the game is this Sith Empire is a complete copy of Palpatine's complete with Star Destroyers and Moffs.
While I agree that it's not only a major gripe, it's the BIGGEST gripe. Bioware lacks any kind of imagination and if George Lucas still gave a damn, he wouldn't have allowed a replica to exist. I don't know about you though but I play games mainly for the storyline so I get invested in it and it just irks me when a company half asses something, and gets away with it because idiots don't care about storyline or continuity, like mindless drones.

See, this is iffy because multiple sources state that the Exiles were boarded onto a single ship and stripped of their weapons. But in Legacy, you see Muur and Xoxaan with their lightsabers. Question is, which source is more valid? The former comes from Ajunta Pall himself in JvS, so I would think that's more valid than anything else.

True, this retcon works. However, at the time KotOR 2 was released the ancient Sith didn't use ligthsabers.

I pretty much agree.
