Also, there are some genuinely well-written and entertaining bits, such as the whole civil-war part, and the scene where you open Mira to the Force was REALLY well done, in my opinion. To back up my "Not a fanboy!" stance I'll admit that there are some things that K2 definitely does right: The tweaks to the combat system were a welcome change, as were the new and cool Force powers, new races and PC faces, and I loved that the skills were actually useful this time around. And yes, I know that they were forced to ship the damn thing before it was finished, and that's the cause for all the plotholes and loose threads, but that's not why I hate it so. So yeah, while it certainly isn't perfect (but then what is?) this game holds a special place in my heart that few fictional works can claim.Īnd then came KOTOR 2, with brand new developers, who had the sheer nerve to TOTALLY CRAP ALL OVER EVERYTHING THE FIRST GAME WAS ABOUT.
And as a little bonus, writing kotor fanfic allowed me to hone and test my writing skills, and eventually led to me embarking on my quest of becoming a published author (am now getting serious consideration from publishers.). Heck, it was the first game I owned for my PC, both of which I bought as a reward to myself for graduating high school. I remember feeling so damn HAPPY for Revan at the reward ceremony, having returned to the light and redeemed his/her sins. The NPC's, the epic story with just the right amount of cheese topping( :) ), the soundtrack, the themes of corruption and redemption, the sheer awesome cool-factor of roleplaying a Jedi. KOTOR 1 is one of my all-time favorite games ever, let's just get that straight.
And I'd like to know if others feel the same way. I completely hate Knights of the Old Republic 2. I'm terribly afraid that I'll come across as one of those intolerable elitist fanboys who are never, ever satisfied with anything, but I'll just have to swear that I'm not, and go for it:
