What went wrong?

It's too based

>What went wrong

Same thing that went wrong with every MMO in the past decade. It tried to be a direct competitor to WoW. Sure, if you like Bioware's trademark swashbuckling action adventure stories it's /fine/ but every other aspect of the game is unremarkable. A lot went wrong from picking out the engine to the plot (there really wasn't one until Shadow of Revan). It's a serviceable game at best if you like Star Wars and have an MMO itch to scratch.

More specifically that it wasn't KOTOR 2 2

It's a fun story because of how over the top it is but yeah being unable to turn Ashara is just retarded. I hate her. She makes no sense at all

I loved pre-4.0 leveling, but they decided to trash it and make everything die in 2 seconds.

Nothing, it's a fun game to dive back into every once in a while

Some idiot on management vastly overestimated their team's coding talent when he bought a license to a pre-alpha MMO engine.

That SW is to good to play anything else. Having a twi'lek slave you can shock with her collar and having a crazy sith GF that gets to play with your twi'lek slave's shock collar too is simply unbeatable. Nothing comes remotely close.
Which kind of sucks because I enjoy PvP heals. But I just never get to do it because I feel incomplete without my party of sluts.

The engine, unironically.

>pve is trash because of this
People would play it a lot more and enjoy it if it was a smooth experience but lagging/spiking all day ruins it, i'm not saying it would fix to the game to perfection but it would atleast be enjoyable to play for something else than the mediocre stories.

What would have KOTOR 3 done anyway? I know Chris planned for you to play as the Exile in search of Revan in the Unknown Regions, enter the domain of the True Sith remnants, and meet it's eldritch lords there but would your companions return?

I'm currently playing it, honestly it's not as bad as people think. If you treat it like a singer player game rather than an MMO it's quite enjoyable, the story arcs for some classes are really well done. The only thing that bothers me is that some races are locked behind a paywall, regardless if you subscribe or not.

This. There's zero point in going through the other storylines because progression has been made so ridiculously easy. Nothing feels fun or engaging anymore.

I send my companion away for boss fights lol
The expansion story has difficulty levels, they shoudl do the same with the main story.

Nothing? it was enjoyable for a few months at least... which is more than GW2 and FF14 can say.

I will never get why this got shat on that much while GW2 was being considered a good game despite being the worst MMO ever released.

The buggy and endgame-lacking launch made an awful first impression. There was only one raid and it was a miracle if you managed to complete it without encountering a progress-stopping bug. Afterwards, everything went downhill, since it didn't surpass WoW's sub numbers, it was deemed a failure and soon there were massive budget cuts. Eight class-specific storylines first turned into Rep/Imp-specific storylines and then amalgamated further into a one-size-fits-all episode-based campaign (that pretty much shafted all tech-based classes, your smuggler personally beats the leader of a massive empire that is stronger than both the Reps and Imps and somehow has been sitting there undiscovered for hundreds of years??). Add bad writing and the systematic cutting of multiplayer content to the mix and there you go.

It can be enjoyable if you think of it as a single-player MMO with some group content, but it's best not to sink too much time into it.

why does it look so cartoony and plastic?

Which TORtanic novels are the best? I heard Deceived is bretty gud.

Bioware and EA.

It was an MMO

Because it's an artstyle that doesn't really age

not aging is easy when you already look like shit in day one

XD
