Jade empire how could I forget! This is another good example of "last day of tranquility" style beginning same as BG1 and NWN2.
I was remembering that KoToR1 is waking up in the middle of an attack - perhaps similar to IWD2's "in the middle of action" beginning, while KoToR2 is somewhat different - yes you start by waking up - but it is waking up into a mystery: "what the hell is going on" style.
