Oh man. Excited for you guys, but instantly thinking of how this will effect Unpro and and making certain Quick Look pairings impossilbe. Vinny remains my favorite duder, so I will follow him into hell.
Jade Empire is actually my favorite Bioware game, while I find KOTOR to be an over-rated mess. This is probably for the same reason you don't like JE. You didn't play it when it was new. I first attempted KOTOR a couple years after it's release, only to have my XBOX: The First, blue screen. The guy at GameStop said I was the 3rd person to bring in an XBOX, that week, to say KOTOR killed it. This scared me off from finishing it till 2011. JE, on the other hand, is one of my favorite games on the XBOX. Otogi 1&2, Halo 2 and Escape From Butcher Bay rounding out my top 5. I can admit my love of that game mainly comes from it simply trying something different. Also, I grew up watching(and still love) Marital-Arts movies and any attempt to bring this setting to an RPG is destined for bias, from me(Sleeping Dogs was my 2012 GOTY). I won't tell you you're wrong, or even try to explain my love for a game I haven't played in 8 years. I would recommend a second playthrough, as I have beaten JE 3 times and can definitely say I enjoyed it way more playing open-palm. But hey, preference is subjective. I'm just glad new people are still playing Jade Empire. (Sorry if I rambled. I'm celebrating Ryan's wedding with a bottle or Pinot Noir.)
