Well I do find it challenging at times to play my villainous role with cunning and style. Choices can be stereotypical and two-dimensional. However, I have found that if you are patient with the cinematics you can get a pretty decent variety of choices in certain story arcs. Overall, I am pleased with the role-playing element of this game and respect biowares decision not to shy away from graphic and intense themes. The Empire was created by a sith who sucked the force out of an entire planet and every creature on it; billions of life forms destroyed just so one being could achieve a measure of immortality. The Empire that spawned from that being would perpetuate exactly the kind of atrocities the game presents. I am a pretty nice guy in real life. However, for entertainment I enjoy a good villain. Shades of grey are all well and good but a true villain is an uncompromising one. So on behalf of villainy...it would appear you are mistaken...about a great ...many.......thingsssss!!!
