KOtoR is the definitive Star Wars Role Playing Game. Discover your history and forge your destiny as a Jedi of the Force or rise as a Sith Lord. The game features a cast of excellently written characters and companions who you can influence.

Obsidian had big plans for KOtoR 2, but the project was forced out the door before it was ready and they couldn't finish it. Still, they did an excellent job, and at least the ending tells you what you did, if you ask. Check mods & unofficial patches
