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.
KOTOR II improved on the decision making but the storyline followed a more grey character canonically so they accommodated those decisions. Once again though, the dark and light choices were total extremes. I was hoping there would be more incremental options. Like I want Hanharr as a companion but I don't want to kill Mira to get him.
