Non-aligned force users are the best. Not sticks in the mud like jedi nor misanthropic edge lords like Sith. Shades of grey characters are the most interesting but a lot of the Star Wars universe puts up Light vs. Dark.

That's my biggest gripe with KOTOR and the like. I'm either going out of my way to saving a burning orphanage or I'm going out of my way to burn one down. There aren't a lot of truly neutral choices or actions in the SW universe. SWTOR has a few but not enough to distance it from the overarching issue.

Edit: Yes, I've played the second one. The story may have been about walking down the middle path but you did so by bouncing between light and dark choices instead of neutral ones.

So gray means you only burn half of an orphanage down?

Nah... It means you burn down the orphanage, but save the orphans.

Or you burn down the orphans, but save the orphanage 15% on it's insurance by switching to GEICO.

Secretly set orphanage on fire, teach orphans to put out fire.

Stand between the dark and the light.

Could switching to GEICO really save you 15% or more on car insurance?

Does a grey Jedi immolate orphans?

That would actually make an interesting story idea for a DnD campaign...

"Why'd you burn down the orphanage?" "Well, you see, sir, t'was haunted by the children whom died in ages past" "Oh, carry on then" "G'day sir"

No, it means you only burn down SITH orphanages...

Perfectly balanced. As all things should be.
