Obsidian, however, have chosen the third option: chicken out and push the reset button. OK, so you wouldn't be able to include any characters from KOTOR, but that's going to be a problem anyway since most of them died in one ending or another. Number one: pick an ending and stick with it (and it would pretty much have to be the Light Side ending, as we know the Republic doesn't fall until Palpatine's day.) Number two: set the game prior to KOTOR, or else hundreds or even thousands of years later that way you can gloss over what happened at the end of the original game. There are two possibilities for a sequel. Revan, the new Dark Lord of the Sith, will undoubtedly take over the galaxy. It is clearly stated that you have 'broken the spirit' of the Sith.Дark Side ending: The Republic is doomed their fleet has been decimated and the only two Jedi who could save them have joined the Dark Side. The Sith have lost their most powerful weapon (the only thing that allowed them to hold out against Bastila's Battle Meditation) their leader is dead with no clear successor. They have the two most powerful Jedi in the Galaxy on their side.

Light Side ending: The war may not be over, but there is no way the Republic can lose. As you can see from the brief summaries below, these endings are completely incompatible with each other: The original KOTOR had two basic endings, one for the Light Side and one for the Dark Side.

(Just in case you missed the thread sub-title, there are SPOILERS here for the first game.) So, here are the reasons why I already hate KOTOR 2. And I realised something: although the new game sounds great in many ways, every single aspect of the storyline just annoys the hell out of me. Anyway, I was recently reading through some of the KOTOR 2 previews at sites like Gamespot, and there's a lot of discussion over whether new developers Obsidian (taking over from Bioware) are up to the task of producing a sequel to one of the best RPGs ever. OK, I wasn't sure whether to put this in the 'Video Games' forum instead, but I chose this one because there's already a different KOTOR thread there.
