Well, I'm not all that happy about the PC February release date. Keeps me two more months drooling for the big kickass story twist.

I was really hoping for concurrent releases of the PC and Xbox versions...

I'm curious. I have KOTOR, and played to where they (you... whatev) crash-land on the planet - right at the very beginning. RPG's REALLY aren't my thing - I've never really liked them - so how kick-ass is the story and experience? Still worth playing you think?

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Well, the beginning of KotOR really isn't something to die for but it gets pretty interesting when you get off Taris. And the twist is pretty good, if you haven't already figured it all out by then of course.

But yeah, I'd say it's worth playing for sure

I was really hitting myself for not realizing it.

One suggestion: When playing, leave Carth and Mission on the ship, as they're rather annoying. Especially if you're going dark side....

You realize the main Sith in KotOR 2 doesn't wear a mask, right? It's the guy who's patched together....

That's Darth Sion. I'm talking about the masked dude that sits in all those posers and wallapers.

The overall story is petty cool but it's the errands/jobs/things that you do that makes things interesting. A lot better than the movies.

Hint: don't level up until you're around halfay finished on the second planet. It will make things easier later on.

From what I've heard, the masked guy is Darth Nihil. ...and there's some sort of rivalry/war between Aris (the white haired girl, who rules a planet in the game and is a love interest for male characters) and him.

KotOR really didn't appeal to me that much. I had high hopes for it and all and I finally got it when It came free with DOOM 3. It was way to linear if you ask me and the fact that you don't actually fight in real time sucks, I want to be in control of my characters movements!

It's not an action game.  If you want an action game, go get Jedi Knight.

Sounds like a perfect opportunity to whittle down the backlog stack.

/glances over at unopened copies of Kingpin, Homeworld, Planescape: Torment, and Thief: Deadly Shadows.

I'm not a fan of Star Wars and Bioware RPGs usually bore/overwhelm me within a few hours, but KOTOR made me a believer.

Kotor doesn't have the "Lucas Taint" like the recent movies have had, and this is good.

well, come feburary, it'll be time to dust off my character name, and play ;)



lightside, twin sabers.. more a combat-user than a force-weilder. mainly delved in self preservation ;)

I didn't make a screenshot, but my character was a critical dual-wielding master with enough force powers to level a town.

It's amazing what twinking can do for you in KOTOR.  Giving us haste-type spells so easily is so abusable.
