Good review Blaster, I'm still getting tremendous enjoyment out of the game, and I think the overall story for the character I'm playing is incredibly strong.

In terms of the dark and light choices, I've noticed a pretty big difference. Some of the enemy that I spared (republic Troopers for example) showed up later in a boss fight and assisted me and made the fight easier.

I spared a Sith Lord and he's rumbling around in the background.

I've done some PVP stuff, but I'm not deep into it, I've enjoyed doing group missions which are fun.

I love the Rail Shooter system in space, some of the missions are down right impossible to complete unless you up the system.

In terms of the affection system with Companions, they do fight better as they get more affectionate to you.

I think this is a very strong game potential, depending on patches and content addon.

I have to admit I was iffy on the Lore because it completely changed the whole story of the War between the Sith and the Jedi from the original understanding of the story.

But I can accept it since it came far before the days of Darth Bane and the reformation of the Sith into the rule of two.

I do wish I'd played Galaxies when it came out to compare it.

But in terms of game content and value to me, its very good, I didn't expect epic perfection from the start, so I'm interested in seeing the patch work and content ads.

One thing that they do need to work out is class balancing, the Sith Warrior seems to be underpowered against some opponents, while from a buddy that plays the Inquisitor they tend to be overpowered.

I make very few game purchases over the span of the year, with my next one probably being mass effect, but I really like this game alot.

Its got character and a feel of grim determination when your playing a Sith.
