I disagree. KOTOR and Jade Empire are two of the most memorable gaming experiences I've ever had. The again, what turned me on about them isn't necessarily what turns you on. I got KOTOR for cheap but I would have paid top price for it. And I am NOT a Star Wars slut, either (I never got into SW ever). JE I pre-ordered, and I got exactly my money's worth.
