It’s not *that *bad. The Atris storyline makes little sense if you don’t know stuff that the game never shows (but the designers had in mind all along, and would have shown had they had a few more months to wrap it all up), and the last half-hour of the game just makes no sense at all (or rather, it may or may not, but at this point the story jumps from point A to point Z, and you’re suddenly propelled into the aftermath without any clue as to what happened, when or why).
But 95% of the game is very good, probably even better than KoToR ever was, certainly no worse.
