Hmmm... I found it a bit more tough, but not too tough. Some of the puzzles were rough -- many people destroyed the Koltor (is that the name?) on Manaan and found themselves banned, unable to complete the "secret society" quest. The trial on Manaan was rough -- and figuring out how not to destroy the koltor was rough. You can negotiate with the Sand People without just killing them all -- especially if you're an environmentalist.
Jolee rocks. You owe it to yourself to play a scoundrel/consular and just see how you can win the game without ever taking out your lightsaber.
And, you didn't mention the hands-down funniest character -- HK47. Can we go kill something now, master? Meatbags rock!
Oh, and you want hard? Try taking on Malak without Throw Lightsaber or another power that will let you kill the jedi "battery cells" from a distance, because he recharges at them -- one recharge for each. [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img]
Did you succeed in the romance? You can take her as an apprentice if you go dark side, y'know.
All in all, I thought the storyline was excellent, very engrossing, but that the game has little replay value.
