When I see turn-based combat in an RPG I think, "Why bother?"

Just wanted to point that out. I'm probably not the only person who finds turn-based combat annoying.



I can see your point, but what you are forgetting is that there are millions of people who love the turn based combat system (just look at the final fantasy series, wich were HUGE successes! millions were sold!)
KOTOR was something different, since it didn't really have the tactical side of the combat system, But this turn based part isn't like KOTOR. Its better to compare it with Final Fantasy since there are several tactics to defeat the enemies wich will require some stragety of the player.
Of course it is possible that it is just not your kind of game, But I think that there are alot of people who do like this kind of fighting in games
