Yeah, I wasn't quite expecting a ship-style battlefield quite like the one in Awakening... though I suppose I should have figured that. I think I actually struggled a bit more on another map on the route. Lol.
I guess what I meant is that I said before that I probably liked SS better than Awakening before, but now... I'm not so sure anymore. Some of the maps in Ephraim's route reminded me of some maps in Awakening - maybe it was just some excessive reinforcements. Maybe it's just because I needed to see more supports, but I also don't think any of the hero characters stood out to me that much. But then, I didn't really like the way support conversations had to be done in battle, tbh (or is there another way?). I also felt that while the mains Lords were decent characters in their own right, they also weren't really very remarkable enough to stand out, either; I felt their opposing characteristics were just too extreme one way or the other. I don't know... I'd probably rank Awakening and Sacred Stones about on par as of right now.
On another note, I'm glad to hear that you purchased KotOR from GOG! I don't believe the game had ever gone on sale between now and when you created an account, so I'm guessing you just bought it at full price... not that $10 is that much, anyway. Since you said that you planned to start the game soon, does that mean you can run it well enough on your computer with movies enabled? Are there any other games you've bought from GOG as well?

Understandable, I liked both just fine but still prefer Ephraim's. Oh, is that a good thing or bad thing? (just curious)
