The best story in a Star Wars game. Probably the best Star Wars game ever made. You play an exiled jedi who regains their power, defends the republic from shadowy sith conspirators, and are forced with morally gray decisions. At its heart, it's a Star Wars RPG. You can lean on being a jedi, or fight your enemies with the power of the dark side. Like the first game, you travel with a diverse band of characters, each with their own mission lines and inter-party relations. Turn-based combat might not be for everyone, but this is a worthy Star Wars experience.
i LOVED KOTOR 1. i played it on the xbox and somewhat recently got my first gaming pc and thought this would be a fun game to play on pc HOWEVER the pc port is extremely bugged and ive gone through a bunch of things to try and fix it. like not being able to move after battle and after hours of searching through different ways of fixing the issue i finally found a fix the somewhat works i still cant move after battle for about 20 seconds and then i can move again. I DONT WANT TO DEAL WITH THAT AFTER EVERY BATTLE. SOOOO i just bought the switch port and went on my way with no issues and beat the game. GAME GOOD STEAM PORT BAD
this game is such a fun part of my childhood. thank you chris avellone for an outstanding star wars game that doesn't adhere to the franchise's lawful good vs chaotic evil formula. it's a shame how the current obsidian can't even hold a candle to the writing and characters in this game.
