Another Bioware classic
It was the time when Blizzard would release Broodwar, and then Diablo 2, and then Warcraft 3. And we didn't even begin to question if these games were gonna be amazing. Ofcourse they would be, they would be instant classics but we were having so much fun that we didn't even realize the concept of a computer game classic. They say that "You don't know what you got til it's gone." Well, that's the prevailing thought I have when trying out a new Diablo 3 season. Or when looking at the sad state Anthem is in. Because it wasn't only Blizzard that was at the absolute top of gaming. Bioware was the other company that woed so many people with their unique game design. Not as gameplay oriented as Blizzard, but more narrative heavy, their games had legions of fans. And for good reason. Bioware had an uncanny ability to not just get some good writers and have them tell a complex, intricate story. But to understand that computer games needed a different sort of writing. It needed to be concise; it needed to contain all the charm and wit in as few lines as possible. It needed to discuss simple things; earthly stuff that any person could relate to. Don't talk about the space-time continuum; talk about how people regret the past. That is a big part of what made Bioware rpgs so great. You were always interested to hear what any character had to say because you knew it would be worth your time. Bioware's games were a testament to the idea that brevity is the soul of wit, even though their games were sprawling and epic. KOTOR is from this unforgettable generation of games. Bioware took the Star Wars license and made a game that's terrifically similar to A New Hope in terms of soul and character. It looks at its source material with young, naive eyes, and again, isn't interested in complex matters such as politics or science, but much more so in capturing that sense of wonder and adventure we all know from our childhoods. It's Bioware at its finest.
