The game has so many limitations and flaws that playing it is a real pain in the ***.

Something is wrong with your brain. This is the hottest game that's come down the pike in years, and I love it.

For example you are commanding the wookie, your better melay guy, and he comes acrossed a mine. You try to switch to your smart guy, but since the wookie saw the mine first, he is the one who has to deal with it.

Wrong. Once a mine is spotted, you can switch to any character to deal with it.

The same thing goes for combat, if the team member you are controlling sees and enemy, YOU MUST engage. I hate this.

Also false. You can click the 'Disengage' button and cancel combat.

Also you can not pick who you kill, the game does that for you. So you can't wack the smart assed yuppy in the bar, nor the sith trooper who is in your way.

Read the manual. You can click on any enemy to target him. You are not stuck with whomever is spotted first, as long as another enemy is in your current character's LOS.

This game is horrible for the most part, but it is kind of fun. Let this be a lesson, all of the hype that this game is game of the year is utter BS, don't buy a game that is a port from a consule.

This game was designed simultaneously for the PC and console market, unlike most games that are ported. It has excellent controls, but someone who is not familiar with RPGs will have a little learning curve with it. You should give it a chance.

Poor controls, poor AI, poor player interaction, etc.

I think if you don't like RPGs in general, there is no pleasing you. Perhaps you should stick to other game types if RPGs are not your bag. I think KOTOR is the best RPG I have played in years, and I have played many.
