And they seem very intersting, so far. The writer even seems to like it better then KOTOR.

I loved KOTOR... It was good in every catagory, but there is one thing which made me love it: It had the best plot twist of all time. Not merely in video games, no. I have never read a novel or watched a movie with a plot twist that can even begin to compare. I loved it. It was extremely surprising for me, yet it also made perfect sense... and at the same time, it added a brand new sense of depth and meaning to the story. Playing through the game on the light side, combined with that twist, makes a truly wonderful story, and one which actually seems to give a moral meaning, something which pretty much every other game out there lacks. It loses much of it's meaning on the dark side, but it's still worthwhile.

Without that twist, I would have liked KOTOR, maybe even loved it, but not nearly to the extent that I did.

This second one seems to play similarly, but with added depth in the most important areas - the dialogue and the dark/light side stuff.

I'm hoping that they'll manage to amaze me a second time with a plot twist, but, even if it's one that's even better than the first... well, I'll be expecting it, or something like it. Unfortunately, I do not think it is even possible for it to top the first.

Nevertheless, I expect to love it.
