KOTOR First Impressions.....

[EnderAndrew]

I think the concept was great.

 

I was extremely excited about a Star Wars RPG, even more so set in the KOTOR-era. The overall idea for the plot was pretty good.

 

I think the execution of the game wasn't great.

[roshan]

The combat is boring and doesn't get any better.  The art keeps getting recycled, and the dialogue isn't great.

 

The characters got a bit annoying.

 

People love KOTOR because of the plot.  When you beat the game, and can comment on the plot, you may enjoy the game more.  But I think KOTOR on the whole is decent, but overrated.

What is the poiint oif the ploit if it cant be enjoiyed becauise the bad gameplay keeps getting in the way? I cannoit believe that this game goit all thoisie rave reviews.

Play the game until you can't play it any more (hopefully the end). Then we can talk. You aren't even out of the beginning of the game yet.

[EnderAndrew]

The good and bad news is that Taris is by far the largest planet.

 

The other planets go much quicker.

[metadigital]

... More like planetoids ... :D

Which sucks. I prefer to have more "to do" on the other planets, except Maanan of course. Manaan can go by very quickly.

[metadigital]

But the reason most people didn't like Manaan is because there was more roleplaying and less combat. So, Gabreille, did you like the combat in KotOR?

I am doiinie with this game. It is toioi fruistrating.

[metadigital]

Hah! I would keep going until you get off Taris, at least.

[Gabrielle]

I like combat and I like quests. Never been fond of puzzles/quizes/problem solving. Still those fish were quite annoying to look at and speak with.

[metadigital]

But did you like the KotOR combat?

Frustrating? What's so frustrating about it? Just like K2 IMO.

Both, but the combat is not as annoying (well, I guess Tatooine is pretty annoying). Actually, I would take issue with Ender's assertion that Taris was much larger than all the other planets; I think they are all a pretty similar size.

 

There are lots of side quests, though, for all the companions that you meet and take with you. That's one of the best aspects of the game.

The voiice acting, the coimibat, the perspective, the repetitive graphics etc. the oinily thing goiioid is the shifting alignment and the quiests.

[metadigital]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

yes. It's almost the same as K2's.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

But the combat is repetitive and far too easy!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

You are about three quarters of the way through Taris, but it gets better from there (although there are still a lot of fights with similar looking opponents: lots of droids).

 

I must say it didn't bother me nearly as much as it seems to be bothering you, though. Sure the opponents were less varied than I would have liked; still I was playing for the story.

You don't happen to have ADD by chance?

 

I've just noticed from a lot of your posts that you stick to one or two games (FO and PST) and immediately give up on the others right away. Try giving games a chance atleast through an entire play through, then decide if they suck or not.

[roshan]

Soiimietimes I woiinider if Ive loisit the ability toii enjoiy new games.....

[Baley]

Nah,it's just that kotor is mediocre.

[Nur Ab Sal]

Taris was best part of KOTOR. Rest of the game sucks especially Maanan and Star Forge junk.

 

Obsidian's unfinished TSL is totally superior to KOTOR and Jade Empire.

[Dark Moth]

I thought K1 was way better than K2. And Taris I thought was superior in every way to Peragus. You should really keep going, it gets better. Taris is really the only planet that duplicates environments like that.

[metadigital]

But they all use the same few NPC character models.

[Musopticon?]

...and military bases. And pretty much same enemies too.
