You know, I don't think that's odd at all. I understand actually, and hell, I wrote one (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1790515/1/). I think a lot of the problem with most of the game retellings is that they stick too close to what happens in the game and don't venture outside of the dialogue that happens in the game. I know that the one's I've enjoyed have embellished on the game events as well as shown us the quiet moments in between the action. Unfortunately, a lot of fics don't do that - and they tend to blur together - especially since most of them have Revan!Sues as protagonists.
There are some very excellent ones out there such as plutospawn's An Unlikely Hero (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1792585/1/), grimblesAs Luck Would Have It (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1637101/1/), ether's Identities of a Lost Soul (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1972217/1/), and Strict's Prodigal (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2429658/1/). But each of these stories goes above and beyond simply retelling the events of the game - which is what sets them apart, I think.
