I'm liking the look of the Rogue Trader game. A cRPG made by the guys that made the two Pathfinder games sounds good. Sure, they were a bit buggy on release, but ended up shaping into something great.

Now that's how first person shooters are SUPPOSED to look. I don't know what the kids are playing now, but back in my day this is what we had and we liked it just fine.
I was friggin ecstatic the first time I loaded up Dark Forces 2 and realized I could look around WITH THE MOUSE! Anything fancier than a step above frantically mashing "pg up" to shoot that guy in the tower is just showing off.

I still remember booting up this game for the first time and having to use the manual to figure out the hotkey to get the screen size to match the resolution. Also funny you remember it as Dark Forces II since I think of it as Jedi Knight 1 |

Ha yeah, I played it shortly after Dark Forces, so it stuck with me as the second game in the series. Much as I enjoyed Rogue One, I remember how the plans for the death star were actually stolen, haha.
Loved that second game though. I kept a save right before all of the dark jedi fights so I could replay them repeatedly.

SUCH a classic. That was the thing JK2 was missing, was a rogues gallery of dark jedi for you to knock off one after another in boss fights.
I still remember being enamoured with the fact that your in-game lightsaber was yellow after you had to take Yun's in a cutscene in the light side route. The little details are what stick with you lol

Hopefully that's a good sign. Mortal Empires was always pretty buggy and unstable in my experience (not surprising due to its scope) but as the main event this time it's going to need a loooot of testing.
