kotr II was by far my most disappointing sequel experience.

Can I ask if the incomplete ending had anything to do with it?

Yes and no. The incomplete nature of the game had a lot todo with it. I had hit several bugs , one of which trapped me in a cave until I used an earlier save, and got annoyedbut the overall lack of fucntionalty of much of the game. I never  finished it, but got about 80% of the way. I just didn't care to fight against the game to play it anymore. I liked most of the new characters less. The locations were a lot more linear and allowed for less planet hopping exporation. The staory was ... unimpressive overall. I have heard that the nihiluswas a pud and the end kinda sucked, but I just couldn't be bothered to make it that far.

 

and I forgot about X-2 and dragon quarter. Those were also depressing to play.

 

 

edit: To clarify, I played it on my roomate's xbox.The bugs were terrible and if there were patches he never downloaded  them.

You should give the PC version a try then. Not that it should change your opinion, because KOTOR II was indeed a mess in terms of bugs and incomplete nature (it was massively rushed by Obsidian to make it in the announced release date), but there's a Restoration Project which has restored the complete ending (both for Jedi and Sith side) and has restored a lot of content, like the HK droid factory planet.  

 

I am aware of the restoration project, but I can't really call a game that needed years of fan work to be a solid game. For the discussion at hand, I feel like I need to judge it on the orginal terms of how I played it - because I had no way of knowing then that years of work could finally create a passable version of that game. The work, as sold to us, was  so inferior t the original.

 

I am also unsure if my netbook ould run it well.

Yup, and I agree with you that it was indeed a mess when it was released. Hopefully Obsidian and Bioware learned from that lesson, should they ever decide to do a KOTOR 3 >_<
