If you like tabletop RPGs and action, this is a prime example of it. This is the best of Star Wars from before Disney's destruction of the IP. Unfortunately, Much like how Bioware got Boiwared at the end of Mass Effect 3, they did here too, so be sure to pick up the Restored Content Mod.
This is not even close to a perfect game. It's rather obtuse with the story; there's a few "fake" endings and a couple "real" ones, and getting the real one feels like side missions until it all comes together. Some sequences are hard hard, as in, I tend to play games on the second easiest difficulty, as I left the part of my life where challenge itself was a driving factor of fun, and now I'm really just here for story and gameplay; even on the easier difficulties, as you sit in god-tier armor, guns that fit your exact playstyle, enough medkits to open a hospital yourself, there are parts of the end where you need to fight during the daytime with your back to a wall and something bulletproof in front of you to have a good chance of winning that gunfight. The story is delivered mostly through fetch quests, and you're running the whole time, because you usually don't need to go back, invalidating the merit of fast travel between hubs. All that complaining to say, I'd give it a 4.5 out of 5 if I could, but I can't so I'm rounding up instead of down, because it's worth it. This and both of its sequels are games that you play through and think at times, "Ugh, what a slog." When you finish them however, you feel like something is missing from your life, like finishing a good book. Its pieces are a mess, but when assembled, form a wonderful art piece, and you understand the obsession so many people have with this series.
