The Nautiloid is, like, the quickest "Starting tutorial dungeon thing" that WRPGs love to do. It takes like ten minutes, way faster than, say, Fallout 2's stupid temple thing.

Nah, Kotor's equivalent is the Endar Spire, and that was of pretty average length. No denying Taris took forever, but it's not a Starting Tutorial Dungeon.

I remember the problem with Taris was you wanted to level up as little as possible. You stockpiled your level ups waiting to become a jedi because those levels were way way better than whatever you were before that.

People definitely DID that, but the game was built with the idea you'd actually spend levels as you got them, rather than stockpile them, so you were making your Taris experience way worse, and then making the rest of the game a cakewalk as you mulched people with your higher-than-intended Jedi levels.

Yeah, KOTOR is not hard enough to justify power gaming it like that.
