Kotor 2 would have been a great game had they been given enough time to finish it, but leave it to LucasArts to make insensible decisions.
Implying it's not a great game anyway...

Bioware shouldn't make it.
Obsidian should.
I'd much rather see them make another Fallout or Alpha Protocol game, tbh. I don't really care for Star Wars all that much.

I hate to say it, because I loved it so much, but Alpha Protocol is it, there will be no sequel. Obsidian wants to make a sequel, but said that Sega won't let them because Alpha Protocol got such poor reviews. The following is just my opinion on the matter and nothing that I can back up: I feel like Obsidian and Sega are done working together, I believe that they don't get along. Obsidian was working on a game for the Alien franchise, but Sega cancelled it in favor of Alien: Colonial Marines (sad, right?), so this coupled with Sega not letting them make a sequel to Alpha Protocol leads me to believe Obsidian and Sega might be done with each other, I could be wrong though.
Here is a link to the Aliens game, it even has a video that shows gameplay and some of the character creation: http://www.eurogamer...-gameplay-video

Nah.
KoToR 2 was better.
Not that KoToR was bad at all.
But you can tell that KoToR 2 just took the atypical Star Wars plot and said "hahahaha. No."
That is to say: We're going to make something out this stinking pile of manichaesim.

Anything that isn't Sonic the Hedgehog won't get love from Sega -- Just look at Bayonetta or Valkyria Chronicles as a few examples.
To be fair, Obsidian had around a year to make KOTOR 2. I don't know if it is true or not, but I once read that Bioware/LA wouldn't even tell them the story for KOTOR 1 (I can't remember if it was out yet or not, but them ordering a sequel to something unproven and not out yet doesn't make much sense to me) so Obsidian had to either wait for the game to come out and play it or they had to play it, which would also take away from production time. Although that might have been a fabrication it does explain a bit why [Spoiler]Revan is different than in KOTOR 1.
As integral as Revan was and is to the Knights of the Old Republic experience, when Obsidian first started working on KOTOR2 - the studio's first game - no one in the team had heard of him. "We hadn't played the original game," Avellone reveals. "LucasArts hadn't signed the contract before we started working on it, so even though we were getting paid for milestones, they didn't want to give anyone a release copy of the game, so we were kind of guessing as to what the first storyline might be like."
They threw together concept art for characters who only might exist, and whipped up a tentative story around them. When Chris Avellone finally played Knights of the Old Republic he realised how terrible and out of kilter with BioWare's his story had been, and flung it into the bin.
They are still doing the Star Wars pitch with Disney? There's still hope! Everything about that article was relevant to my interest.

But nobody hear anymore about the new open world Star Wars game after EA announces it and that was about a year or two ago.
What I even this don't is
Who needs KOTOR 3 when we can play an MMO version of it all day!
/s
Yea, let's make another non-canon Star Wars game. That'd be great... Not really.
Star Wars the old republic isn't worth anymore content for that MMO, A single player experience is much better like Kotor 1 and Kotor 2 what made those games good is because they use the expanded Universe, bioware use that information to developed there own Star Wars story, in the Swtor MMO EA force them to make money for their company cause originally it was going to be a single player game in tell EA thought about it change everything turn it in to a MMO that wasn't going to work.

Who cares about Star Wars canon? I know I don't. Midichlorians are canon. Jar Jar Binks is canon.
I do, I don't care about games that are just fanfiction.
Indeed, even if these guys can't possibly make a finished game, their storytelling is just superior.
Get them to write it, get Bioware to develop it. Problem solved.

because fun games cannot be fun if they are not lore, the logic is everywhere around this post
dude seriously?
Good if it is fun for you, don't tell me what to enjoy. That isn't fun for me, reason I played Knights of the Old Republic and SWTOR was the experience the events that took place prior to the movie era. If it ain't canon, it doesn't really work for me now does it?
There's logic in there, maybe you are just too narrowminded to see it.
Well you shouldn't, Star Wars canon is terrible. If Disney knew what he was doing, he would have retconned the prequel trilogy out of the canon, not KotOR 1&2.
Perhaps, but I suppose George wouldn't have been as willing to sell, if he knew that they'd touch the stuff he made himself.

I don't expect Bioware to deal with more license IPs. They have DA, ME, and a new original IP on their plate. I wouldn't be opposed to another Star Wars RPG from Bioware (or Obsidian), but it wouldn't have to be KOTOR, I actually would like to see something set in the movie era, perhaps during the reign of the empire but before the first film.
Are you serious the movie era, the reason why star wars games like Kotor works is because most of them take place in the expanded Universes not the movie canon, if you want a star wars game set in the movie era play Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith game.

They wouldn't have had to tell him about it.....

Probably not, but it could've been written on the deal as one of the conditions. He seemed kinda eager to protect his own stuff.
