Masterful Game Design

Classic game with interesting well written characters, great quests, great art direction and atmosphere, etc... For those wondering why we dont receive games like this anymore 1) 99.9% of games today are not made by passionate artists, they are made with market research teams, which means that a bunch of passionless non gamers are paid to create graphs of data on the latest gaming trends that they then force on the developers in order to attempt to guarantee success. Artists ran the game studios in the 90s/2000s, but now genuine creativity has been pushed aside for the fear of being unsuccessful, even though most of these passionless trend data games are often unsuccessful because of how generic they are. 2) Lack of independent thinking among consumers has led to gaming journalists becoming way to influencial despite having objectively corrupt opinions on video games. These companies were never very good at reviewing games, but nowadays they are just complete frauds who care mostly about the politics and ideology of a game and its devs rather than how genuinely fun and creative a game is. Game studios today feel like they need to pander to these frauds in order to achieve a high score that will boost sales. 3) Improvement in graphics has led to game studios not focusing on core gameplay and are often trying to trick consumers into buying games solely on graphics, often at the behest of the publishers. Almost no game today is marketed on gameplay innovation like they did in the 90s/2000s, it is always "look how pretty this game we made is, but please ignore how generic the gameplay, art direction, characters, quests, and everything else is". Corporations really want consumers to prefer graphics over content, because then they can assemply line that crap out very quickly, which is what many franchises have been doing for years now. There are many more problems with modern game design than just this, but these are some of the main issues.

It was a great game in its time BUT....

I played this when it first came out on the xbox it was literally why I bought an xbox. It is one of my greatest games played. HOWEVER I bought the game on gog and wanted to share the experience with my kids however nothing I could do could get it to work I followed all the gog troubleshooting looked on reddit for solutions. But what I did find in the install files was the troubleshooting for the game and it specifically states this game requires Windows XP and earlier. I tried compatibility mode nothing works I tried installing on different laptops and there is always a problem; one wont start while another gets 1 hour in and then constantly crashing. Another has permanent small window. It's sad to see this great game get terrible treatment, if crashes ever get fixed definately buy it, but until then dont waste your money.

Easily one of the best RPGs ever made.

It's been over a decade since Knights of the Old Republic was released, and I can honestly say that in my opinion, I don't believe a better RPG has been released since - though some have come very close. KOTOR is what every RPG should strive to be. A compelling story, right from the start - interesting (and occasionally hilarious) companions, a variety of visually distinct locations, excellent gameplay, and a very diverse character development system. It has one of the best plot twists in video game history midway through the game, and HK-47 is hilarious as a murderous Minsc-like stand-in. There are a few flaws; occasionally my character would get stuck in the terrain, usually necessitating a reload. Fortunately these were fairly rare, and the auto-save feature generally prevented me from losing too much progress. There were a few other bugs, but nothing that stands out in my memory at the moment. A few gameplay mechanics caused problems - most notably, your character doesn't begin the game as a Jedi, and there's a level limit of, if memory serves, 20. This means that on the first planet, if you do everything possible and continue to level up, your later progress as a Jedi is limited. Fortunately, leveling up is triggered manually with enough experience; after level 2 (which the tutorial forces you to take), you can simply wait to 'trigger' levels until after your Jedi training, though this understandably increases the difficulty in the early game. These minor problems aside, I strongly recommend this game to any RPG fan - even if you don't care for, or even like, the Star Wars setting. While it's true that Star Wars fans are bound to have a greater appreciation for the setting, KOTOR's RPG mechanics and storytelling are so successful that any fan of the genre is almost guaranteed to enjoy it.

Still the best Star Was stories

Another on the pile; KOTOR 1 and 2 are some of the best Star Wars experiences available. Disney says these aren't canon - well I say their stuff isn't. If you enjoy the format of Bioware RPGs, well - these are the ones that put them on the map for me, and nothing in the Star Wars universe has lived-up since.

A classic, and likely the best.

This was the game REALLY got me into gaming back in the day. I remember the first time I played this I did nothing else for three days straight! The story is amazing, gameplay engaging, and it's one of those titles that always me saying "just one more quest, then I'll go to bed" over, and over, and over again. The game runs buttery smooth on my laptop. I had originally played this on Xbox, and so far I like the PC version better. I have an Asus laptop with 8gb of RAM, a core i7 processor, and integrated graphics (Intel 4000 I believe); so far from a gaming computer, but a decent PC. The graphics in the game are showing their age, but they are still good enough to keep the game engaging, and that is probably part of the reason the game runs so well on my laptop. This is a must have game for RPG, action/adventure, and Star Wars fans. Or just anyone who enjoys gaming at all!
