Pretentious as in the Jedi Council? Well yes, they died for that reason. Kreia for that matter too.

It's a rare Star Wars game where it's not a simple story of an epic hero. Granted KOTOR had a great story, but you can see the epic hero in various forms of media.

KOTOR 2 isn't a classic but it had a unique story dealing with the behind the scenes of rebuilding the Republic rather than just eliminating the biggest threat. And this is Star Wars, every other thing is nonsensical to the overall canon.

The premise was wonderful, the execution lackluster.

New Vegas has a very interesting world story, but a very poor personal story. KotOR II kicks New Vegas' ass when it comes to the player character.

Well as an open-world RPG, NV is skewed more towards that side of the narrative. The whole point is to enable a broad range of player characters. And it's still better in that respect than, say, Skyrim.

Also you can hit on your own brain, I mean come on. 馃槈

Yeah, Skyrim blew chunks in the player character department. Makes up for it, though.

Ditto. It's very hard to feel invested in the Bethesda sandboxes, since who and what you are doesn't really seem to matter. I make an exception for Fallout 3--that one does have a world-story that's intricately tied in with the PC's personal story. Not the greatest, by any means, but decent for what it is.

Pretentious as in the dialogue and plot in general.

A better idea, I think, would have been to focus on G0-T0 and his unique storyline with respect to reconstructing the Republic and marginalizing the Jedi & Sith in the post-Revan vacuum.

Yeah, gotta give Obsidian credit they managed to create a compelling storyline which is pretty much unprecedented in any sandbox game.

GTA which is bo yn means has the best storyline, still has a much better one than fallout and it is also a sandbox game.

edit - In fact, Red Dead Redemption has the best story out of all the sandbox games.

Good point didn't even consider those ones. Although, I'd argue NV has a better story than GTA.

No there wasn't. "Red Harvest" did not have a talking flower, it had a telepathic flower. And the only person who could talk to it was Hestizo Trace (who is awesome BTW).

"Red Harvest" was a great book. Yes, it had a lot of character deaths but that's what happens in zombie stories.

Jacen Solo/Darth Cadeus absolutely worst character ever...
The New Jedi Order
fast style
medium style
strong style
zombie SW book waste of time,paper,ink.....
Vader's Ghost prison
Vader and 9th asssassin
killing Chewbacca too soon
All the SW books after ROTJ (In the NJO ) of course....
I'll get back I'm still thinking.....

Those were just for a video game, and before the 7-forms were invented.

Mount Sorrow, the sentient mountain.

Seems like something Disney would hang on to.
