I think that Obsidian is trying to make something like the original trilogy, where in the ESB the things only get worse, and keep you waiting for the next chapter in the saga, but, with the kotor, things gone more like matrix reloaded... they only forgot to put "to be continued..." in the end...
I also heard of a new engine for the game,

Ah! it will be great if the player can choose its race also, i tired of humans... i want to be a Kel Dor, or a Cathar!!!!
