Indisputably, KotOR2's greatest achievement is the character of Kreia and her unique perspective on the Star Wars universe. A former Jedi, now acting as the protagonist's mentor, she shares very original and interesting opinions on the nature of the Force, alongside with a questionable, but well-intentioned morality.

For her, not only does the concept of “the will of the Force” negate any notion of personal choice, but “the balance of the Force” makes the everlasting Light Side versus Dark Side conflict completely meaningless and unwinnable. Even the greatest good, achieved by the greatest sacrifices will go to waste because eventually a greater evil will have to emerge so the balance may be preserved. Any goodness done would go away, but its side effects, deaths and suffering will stay, so the final score would always be negative.

Therefore, the Force influence on all living things is negative, and the “good versus evil” battle brings only destruction on an immense scale. Kreia expresses a mix of Nietzschean/Spencerian morality, has strong opinions on everything and loves manipulating people to do her bidding.

Her voice actress, Sarah Kestelman, should also be mentioned with great reverence due to her truly outstanding work, without which the character wouldn't be half as endearing. She can pull of even the subtlest hints of emotions, enchanting and expanding the meaning of every spoken line. Her majestic performance shows that voice acting can be an art, as her work is head and shoulders above not only most – if not all – video games out there, but movie and animation voice actors as well.

Kreia, born from Chris Avellone questioning the founding concepts of Star Wars universe, is – simply put – one of the best video game characters of all time, and more than enough reason to play The Sith Lords.
