i just finished my first run through and am considering playing it again... i did like it a lot, although i get this strange sense of deja vu when playing it. sometimes the design seems slightly similar to neverwinter nights, but in the star wars universe. but that's not necessarily a bad thing!
i did get more than a few freezes and odd crashes, but usually they happened at predictable spots (after playing for WAY too long, right after a bunch of quicksaving and reloads, etc.), so it didn't really bother me that much. i just did a lot of manual saves, so i never lost any real progress.
as far as performance goes, i expected it to run very badly on my old system (1ghz athlon, 512mb PC133 RAM, Geforce3 Ti200), but i actually ran through virtually the entire game at 1024x768 textures at high (no AA, AF, or soft shadows though). it did get kinda choppy when looking at distances with a lot of scenery at certain points, but lowering the resolution didn't really seem to help that much. otherwise, surprisingly enough, it ran okay considering the slower RPG pace of the game.
in the end though, i think i'll play it again!
