Great SW RPG with two buts

Bioware stands for great RPGs. KOTOR is no exception. I heard a lot of praise back when KOTOR was originally published. But SW was not my cup of tea - I'm a Trekkie to the bone. So it wasn't until some sale...lol… December 2016, that i bought it here on GoG. It was waiting in a long cue of games to play. And that day has come a month ago. Why did I wait so long to play it is beyond me. I'm quite happy with the game. The game is full of funny character interractions, both with NCPs and team members. Similarly to BGs there are a few ways to progress through a given situation, be it diplomacy, brute force, subterfuge or force mind control. Some actions have their consequences and repercussions. Although it is based on SW canon, the game still tells a story quite convingly. You might as well turn away from canon and choose to go dark side once more. Graphic esthetics is very reminiscent of what Gearoge Lucas showed in his movies. It gives the game a sense of cohesion with SW universe. On today’s computers with a maximum settings graphics is fine. Same for music. Although there aren't many musical motives they all feel star-wars-like.No qualms there. The game works fine under Win 7 and Win X. I didn't nail my character to be perfect the first time. So 'm in the middle of my second walkthrough. I'm doing some things differently this time. It's a good thing the game does not punish you too severly if you mess your character's development. It's a lot harder to beat the final boss with a weak character, but if you're clever enough, you can beat Malak without the Force, with brute strenght of explosives (you have to time it right, though). My two titular buts: 1) why isn't it possible to go back to Yavin or any other shot after visiting rakata homeworld - this was possible in BG until the final battle. 2) the game is too short compared to BG. I think there was room for more. Still, a very good RPG. I recommend it. Live long and may the Force be with you.

One of the best Star Wars games ever

I have played my share of Star Wars games over the years, and my first ever played was made for the SNES (Super Star Wars, etc etc), and KOTOR was my first pc rpg that I ever played. I have to say without a doubt that this game was amazing. I had never had so much fun having the choice to go dark side or light side. I love games that have a good story to them, and get you invested in what you say and do to progress the story. This is one of those games, like people have said, just like the Mass Effect series, that can do that. I will also say that I loved KOTOR 2, even though it was not made by the same people as KOTOR. This one however started it all, and one game I will replay again and again with no other reason than because I thoroughly enjoy it. If you have any fear about whether you should buy this game, fear not. It is worth every single penny in my opinion and you will have hours and hours of fun. May the force be with you.

Best SW Video Game - Among the best RPGs

While this is no Baldur's Gate 2 or Planescape: Torment, this is one of the best RPGs of all time. If you are a Star Wars fan and/or like RPG games, I would HIGHLY recommend this.

Star Wars at its best (almost)

It took me four started runs before I really got the patience to make it through the first 5 hours. Your movement speed is just so slow. You get the force power to temporarily move faster, but after using it out of combat, you awkwardly stand still for half a second. It honestly just feels weird. The obvious first planet to go to, Kashyyyk, is a very straight forward corridor with lots of backtracking, which I always hated. A funny thing is how long the alien voice clips take. Might be a one-word-sentence, but that wookie will still take 20 seconds to say it. The entire time, I felt that a 3-character party always falls short in at least one aspect. Half the time, I almost wished I was playing Dragon Age instead. At last, its still Star Wars, I still love the story. I still love the massive choice you have to make before the final "dungeon". I still love the ending. I still love this game. Do yourself a favor and play it. Play the second game too. A tip: The maximum level is 20. If you level up too much before getting your powers, your Jedi level is limited. My second run, where I stayed at level 2 until getting my powers, was much more enjoyable. In general, I prefer the second game, even with all its bugs.
