Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
126 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story is well made and interconnected and tidbits of foreshadowing that you could never hope to anticipate until further down the line, not to even mention the ability of becoming a sith... it's all in all a great story to be told, by you.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
70 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
So, the basics are down - the world is good, as is the gameplay, characters and graphics.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The voice acting for the main cast is great, but the side characters run out of voice actors pretty quickly.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Playing in windowed mode with a fixed framerate of 75 (the highest the game allows) resolved most of my issues, such as my character getting stuck after nearly every encounter.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The characters, from the major ones to the minor or one shot folks are not only superbly voice acted BUT always have something nifty or interesting to say, with each major character having a fun little Personal Quest you can help them with!
