Now personally I like Kreia as a character, because she is just so opaque: Her motivations are her own, she proscribes to her own philosophy and, most of all, she's an old lady who kicks serious buttock. I'm not saying that I want everyone to like Kreia, but to write her as a simple "I'm going to kill stuff cos I'm teh EVUL Boss Monster" really gets on my nerves. Kreia is complex and deserves to be written that way, to reduce her morals as to simple good and evil is the worst disservice of her character ever.
Faithful Disciple...uh Disciple
This is something else that gets on my nerves: blind, obedient, kick-me-in-the-head puppydog Disciple. Yes Disciple is somewhat naive and idealistic, but he is also a scholar and a Republic spy. He openly questions the Jedi Code and blames the rigidy of the Jedi Council for the stagnation of the Order. He is not a floppsy woppsy bunny rabbit that will believe everything the Exile does and neither would he follow her blindly. Sure he's not too world weary about somethings, like Atton's dry sarcasm for example, but he is not an idiot.
Game Dialog
I can live with game re-tellings, hell I'm writing one so I kinda have to, but one thing that annoys me is over usage of game dialog. There's a big difference between using a few in game quotes and using the entire .tlk file to write your dialog. In my opinion, the whole point of writing fanfic is to make the story your own, if you are not writing your dialog, why are you writing at all?
