This is one of the best games I've ever played. The storyline is awesome, as is the combat system and the music. There are various ways to approach combat, and you can even avoid it sometimes through conversation, it all depends on what you decide. I've bought it when it was released and was thrilled until the epic finale. If you don't know the plot, do yourself a favour and don't search for it, just buy the game and play, you'll love it. Graphics are obviously aged (were actually a bit aged by the time of the release already) but this game survived the test of time brilliantly, I still play it from time to time. It's quite repayable too if you like to see all the available ends. This game have set the standards for the likes of Dragon Age and Mass Effect (actually I didn't enjoy these two as much as I did KOTOR). Buy it now, you won't regret it! :)
