Bored of KOTOR 1? Will it be the same?

[kitty518233]

Don't know about what everyone else thought but i played through the game 1st as lightsider and found it very good, then i played through again as light sider, as i misd out a lot of things. Then i wanted to see what it would be like playig through as dark sider but found i couldn't even get past taris because i got bored as i knew what would happen next! as i knew the story line. Did anyone else feel like this? or is it just me.

 

I think KOTOR 2 won't be like this because of the new characters but it might be, if you meet the oposite side party member because then you will know what party members you could of had playing the oposite side. and also on the mysterious planet (back to KOTOR 1) where you meet bastilla you could of just switched to the dark side in that convosation with her and played through the star forge and just got a different ending intead. i just hope KOTOR 2 will have slightly unknown things for each side. eg playing through and havin different quests or meeting different npc's

 

if im rambling please say and ill try and make myself clearer lol.

*shrugs* I've paled through the game 4-5 times or so and I wouldn't mind play through it once more to find out about some stuff I've not yet explored. I'm in no hurry to do so however, especially sicne I won't have access to my KOTOR before the end oft he summer . But I still think I'll not play KOTOR 1 until KOTOR 2 is here, since I then can refresh my memory of events in KOTOR 1 and then dive straight into KOTOR 2 :D

i think the most boring bit when replaying was Taris, described on another thread as a 'time burgalar'. It is dull rushing through it when you don't have jedi powers, but otherwise I can play it over and over again. B)

 

TSL should eliminate this problem as you are a Jedi at the very start.

THe first time I played as dark side, than I played as "pure light side", I did EVERYTHING the good way. Than I played "pure dark side", than One game I just wanted to try all the side quests for the exchange. never got bored.

[OrganisedChaos]

side quests for the exchange?

 

Do you mean the spice retrieval and box smuggling, or were there more that I missed out on?

Taris is the only part that consistently interests me in replaying. Every time I've started the game over, I begin to lose interest shortly after I leave Taris. Once you get your jedi powers (a.k.a., once you become invulnerable), the gameplay gets much less interesting because there's practically no way you can lose 98% of the fights.

 

As a result, I've only finished the game once. (Second try got as far as the unknown world.)

300 hours of it, and I'm still not bored....

[Darth Sun_Tzu]

For me Taris is boring, i enjoy replaying the game once i get past taris.

 

From what i have heard so far TSL will have a higher replay value as different skill have different quests, as do each party member not all of which will join u depending on alignment! And you can influence your party members alignment which should prove interesting!

[Ever Faith]

I played through it four times, couldn't finish the time I played through PURE light. I beat it dark and neutral, never pure light I could never beat Malak.

 

edit: also your choices are horrible, and they are repetitive. There should be one that says "okay for a while" or something.

[Sabahattin Dere]

er... please do allow for a game to start getting less exciting and maybe become boring, the 6th-7th times (?!) you're beating it. I don't think this is in any way a weakness of Kotor.

 

It's not like Tetris or Civilization which is designed to be infinitely replayable.

 

besides when the original really becomes tedious one can always start doing silly stuff with save game editors, cheats and mods. Things like walking around in Taris in Revan's robes, or bringing down Bendak Starkiller with a single strike of the lightsaber, things of that sort.

[Bored Wizard]

Agreed, I became very bored after Taris and becoming a Padawan. The four star map planets are not fun to play again.

I quite liked Taris, especially compared to Manaan....except for the fishy-fishy guy, he was funny.... The slow walking killled me...I'm glad they are doing away with that...

[Darth Sun_Tzu]

Well we can only hope TSL is more replayable! Or am i living in a world of make believe???

Well, it will certaintly be more replayable to me...

Dunno if I'd truly recommend this one, but to each of his own..

[Archmonarch]

It was truly odd, I must admit.

[Indalecio]

Thats sort've why I liked it. It was odd. It messed with my head. Plus, I loved the opening music.

 

Actually, I remember its creator saying in an interview, that there wasn't really an overeaching plot. There was nothing to piece together. It was done to show how those connected to Internet were gradually becoming disconnected from their families and those around them.

KOTOR rocks, no matter how many you play it.
