Just completed Act 1 of the Jedi Knight Class. Have like three accolades I felt deserved to be recognized. Let me know if you are interested.
As far as the story and character is concerned, I didn't enjoy it. Being a Lightside character feels incredibly generic, and whenever I freedom sparks for me to show romantic interest in Kira, I am rewarded with Darkside points. The story was all over the place, and while I did enjoy the one Sith boss per mission, they all seemed to have the same exact damn attacks. [SPOILER - highlight to read]: I also rolled my eyes over the destruction of that one planet's atmosphere, for it was obvious they were trying to get me to give a damn like I did about Taris, but instead I smiled a little bit. I had 150% more fun being the maniac Darth Nox, killing everyone for no reason with my famous quote "murder and mayhem await." There is nothing more satisfactory then playing as a character whose ego is so large they literally say "I really am the best" to the ****ing Dark Council. Ultimately, the Knight Act 1 story had no where near the emotional and moral attachment that grasped me to KotOR, the darkness and comedy of KotOR2, or the fun and energetic story of the Sith Inquisitor. I hope Act 2 and 3 are better.

Knight story is shit, I'm reminded of that now that I'm levelling my guardian, how I ever got a sentinel to 55 back without exp buffs is beyond me.
I too noticed a few quotes that I can give, and a few quotes that makes the strike team seem way less powerful (Woop) if you want them.
If you want a more Kotor 2ey story, I quite enjoyed the consular. Act 1 kind of sucked, but in act two you save the republic not through personal power alone, but through diplomatic intelligence. You rally hundreds to your cause, gain an army that could probably lay waste to Dromund Kaas itself and save the republic alone, but all in a more insightful way that I actually found cool. A lot of people hate on it, but IMO it's up there with the agent story.

There is no canonical story. Be as much of a douche as you want and bang that woman. Darkside is also cooler because you and Kira talk about how much better things would be if you know, the Jedi kinda, took over everything. For the good of everyone of course. Kira is surprisingly darkside in some of her comments, since she used to be a Sith.
Well it shouldn't be, since subverting that expectation is something that makes the game really fun. Lightside Imperials and Darkside Republics are more interesting.
I'm not mad at you anymore and I might come back to chat at some point.
Just finished Act 2 in about 5 hours. I really enjoyed it. It was infinitely better then the first Act, and better the KotOR 2 as well. Scourge and Braga were badass.
