I don't know why it took me so long to get around to this as a big Star Wars fan. I did struggle to get it running well on PC, but that's old games for you. Regardless, this game is wonderful. Lovely improvements over the gameplay of the original making for some interesting builds (still got the same OP dual wield flurry but at least it's fun). It does still have the ability to use dark side powers as a light sider using high charisma which, as a lore/philosophy of the universe fan, I dislike, but I get the intention. The writing is absolutely phenomenal and an absurd improvement over the first game, with deeper characters with complex motives and beliefs, plus some amazing force intrigue. Kreya sucks, but trust me it's worth it.
Sadly, though, this game suffers from the standard obsidian treatment (see also: new vegas) because even with the Restored Content Mod (an absolute MUST if playing this, easily installed from the steam workshop) it's really obvious that there was some major cut content.
