Just finished the game yesterday w/ LS consular/watchman. After getting my a** kicked by Darth Traya and her lightsabers several times, I managed to kick her back. It wasn't easy for me since she kept resisting my force powers and it was practically useless against the lightsabers (flying) as well. When I finally finished it, all she did was to tell me some vague crap about my allies esp Atton's and then the Ebon Hawk flying into space and the damn credits started rolling.

What the hell? I think I sat there for a few seconds wondering if I did something wrong. I think Obisidian did a horrible job on the ending. I went thru' the Obisidian forums and I knew I wasn't the only one feeling ripped off of a good ending. Sure, there were lots of reasons on why they axed it but time constraint it not a good reason for fans.

I really hoped the DS ending's much better.

I think they tried to emulate The Empire Strikes Back, as that didn't have a particularly satisfying ending either... but most people accepted it because they knew it was simply setting things up for the final part of the trilogy.

BTW I found Darth Traya to be extremely easy, certainly not as hard as some of the earlier bosses . But then again, I had so many Force points and so much Force regeneration, I could pretty much Force Heal ad infinitum .

Heh. Darth Traya and all the other bosses were too easy for my melee char. But as for the ending, it promises more to come, but they could have done at least some movie clips for the things you changed in the game i.e Dantooine.

well, there is a petition in obsidian forums for them to release all the deleted areas left out of the final release...like the hk-50 factory on telos, and a more complete ending...

hopefully fan modders will release those packs, since the cutscenes are in the cd roms, just not activated..

YAY FOR FAN MODDERS!!!

yup =) I signed it the moment i saw the thread. Maybe when I fought Darth Traya, my level was pretty low, I think I was Consular 16/Watchman 10 and I had most of my attribute points into Wisdom and Charisma. She kept resisting my force powers so I melee her instead. Probably a bad choice anyway.

Is the Darkside ending the same as the Light side one?

Yea, I hope that they can indeed make them available to the public.

1462 signs in the petition at the moment btw.

[NiGHTMARE]

You know, snail mail campaigns have a vastly superior chance of success than on-line petitions...

[Archmage Silver]

Hehheh. I think, that in the end, it falls to the fan modders to make the mod which adds the cut stuff. Though that petition shows that ppl really look forward to it, which is always good. Obsidian and LucasArts can hardly be impressed with anything lesser than 20 000 names.

[NiGHTMARE]

That is, if they even see it in the first place .

[Archmage Silver]

They might, but officially they never knew of the petition in the first place.

Just finished it with Consular 15/Jedi Master 12, the ending really could have been better. Kreia, as all other battles, was very easy. With Wis 41, 750 FP and 40 on Will saves I just cast Force Enlightement and Force Immunity and no one can hurt me. They even couldn't save vs. my Force Wave. All this on Difficult.

I've been looking through videos and found some strange things:
What is MalMov14 used for?
Where are MalMov6,13, OndMov1,2 TelMov8,9,10?

[Archmage Silver]

Some of the cut material I presume...

second page has cut ending dialog in easy to read format.

After Onderon (revisited) the game just falls from A quality to C in my opinion.
The last hours are really rushed and not very fun.
You never really heard of the name Nihilus before and then you have to face him. :S This game should've had a couple of extra months

the dark side end is even worse... but at this time you already know...

very true. it sucks indeed and its worse than the lightside ending. I've already completed the game 3x (twice on LS and once on DS). I don't think I want to play it again. The ending's just too unfulfilling.

[LoOk]

I only played it out once. But why would you wanna replay it 2 times for such a sucky ending..? It makes the whole experience a bit pointless imo.
