... KotOR has long load times? Maybe on X-Box where it's loading from the disk, but on PC it installs it all to the HDD so it's never more than a couple of seconds...
Anyway, I'd say on that issue the problem is that they were misleading, as you say. I wouldn't have a problem with it if they'd been honest from the beginning that it'd have restricted areas, but they so clearly said that it'd have big open ones that it is too bad. As for how that relates to KotOR, maybe they were slightly deceptive in some screenshots but anyone who had previously played a BioWare RPG should have known about what to expect so it really is different. There is no basis for comparison from that developer for Fable.
As for free-look, not having one makes the task of making the game simpler, for sure, but it definitely is irritating...
