man 40 hours I have been playing that game I can't get enough of it :)
for the matriarch you were underleveled... I had the same pb I went to some side mission level up came back kicked her ass in one try with no pb....
people say the world look alike I don't agree... for a RPG i think it's pretty varied I mean you always either have a different ground texture different atmosphere... element falling from the sky and the terrain is more or less difficulte....all those variables make each earth different from the other compare to KOTOR or even a JRPG or a game like morrowind... (look at the caves all the same almost)
Great game best RPG I have played since KOTOR... (in that style).... and it's not any time soon another is going to take its seat I think... if you liked KOTOR you can buy it your eyes closed...
