Is she unironically the only well written video game character?

GLaDOS is well written, too.

If you want more star wars? The episode 3 novel (stover I think) was actually pretty good.
I'd recommend going to broader science fiction, though. Try Zelazny, Clarke, Lem, Bester.

WW Ganondorf was well written. Animal Crossing is full of well-written characters, as is Paper Mario. Also, pic related. Dwarf Fortress writes itself.

You can't ruin a character with amnesia, he was back to normal by the end of the book. The idea that this dude used to be the most evil guy ever getting amnesia, falling in love, becoming a Jedi, and going through all this stuff for it to end with him getting his memory back and his old self coming back right at the end just in time for him to team up with a Sith lord to fight the Emperor was a really cool story arc. And that fucking ending, my god I was not expecting that and am wanting to see where that goes.

I was talking more about the characterization provided by Kotor 2
>dude used to be the most evil guy ever getting amnesia
This is what i mean, lets be honest he was barely a character in Kotor 1, which honestly is fine considering he is a voiceless protagonist, but Kotor 2 painted him as a much more morally gray and interesting person, who didn't do what he did because "he was evil and fell to the dark side", but because it was necessary. It used Revan among other things to explore interesting concepts never really seen before in star wars. Then this book came along and just said, "nope, he was just plain bad and mind controlled by the emperor the entire time :)" only to end with a setup for the old republic
Also don't get me started on the exile

Yeah ok then granted it makes more sense
Now that i think about it is probably more of a opinion thing, but i really liked the way Kotor 2 handled Revan and i know that many others did too. I mean yeah shitposting aside if you enjoyed the book then fine, but just know that it basically retconned or ignored Kotor 2 in every possible way, including absolutely trivializing and shitting on the exile and what she represents, and i don't like that.

If you really must read more Star Wars books, make it Stover's stuff because that's the least embarrassing available.

Then stop reading Star Wars books.

Plagueis is the only SW book I would consider re-reading.

I heard much good about ROTS, if you do ROTS you might as well turn it into a trilogy with Labyrinth of Evil and Dark Lord.

The first Bane was mindblowing to me but I read it when I was much younger and before playing KOTOR / reading the 6 issue comic miniseries Jedi v.s. Sith. Finding out all the good story beats were ripped from somewhere else was disheartening.

I never played 1, but 2 is one of the most well-written games I've ever gone through
I was only like 12 when I first played it and Kreia calling me a naïve faggot for giving a beggar money blew my little mind
