Here is where that really hurts us. We have an extended argument with her, and it doesn&#8217;t really work. She tries to lure you to the dark side, but she has nothing to tempt you with. She tries to sell you on the liberation of the dark side, but she&#8217;s a slave. She tries to encourage you to take down Malak, but you&#8217;re already doing that. <\/p>\n<p>Then after you beat her, she talks &#8211; almost monologues &#8211; for several minutes while you stand there and do nothing. At the end of the long conversation she announces she&#8217;s leaving, then runs away, enters her ship, climbs into the cockpit, starts the engine, and takes off before you can even reach the boarding ramp. The scene never bothered me because I didn&#8217;t want to kill Bastila, but if I&#8217;d wanted to kill her then this would have driven me bonkers. That is some pretty flagrant cutscene shenanigans.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re actually done playing KOTOR.
