I've currently got this game on loan from a friend...and freak that I am, I played it through in about two or three days Just wanted to give my 2 cents on it, and see if anyone else had played it.

While I don't think it rivals Neverwinter Nights in terms of playability or sheers scope (very little can), I think Bioware still made one hell of a game with it...it plays very much like a movie, and has one of single most enthralling storylines I've ever come across, including one of the biggest plot twists in fiction history

It does get a bit tiresome in stretches...but then again, so do the movies, and hey, it's good to see something that's not only star wars, not only post return of the Jedi, but actually worth spending time on The story and character development are far stronger than the actual gameplay (although it's still an enjoyable game), and it's just got that "must...find out...what happens...next...or...will...explode..." feel

Managing to cunningly manipulate myself into a position of grey, with regards to the light and dark side of the force, my level 20 Jedi Guardian of doom managed to hack her way effortlessly to both endings...and man did the bad ending depress me Fortunately, the good ending was a nice little tearjerker, and the Sera One is glad she did that second, and is now all bright and happy

Woot!

*looks at watch, and realises she has to go into Uni in a couple of hours, birthday or not happyiness drops a knotch*

Is this the one where you can make your own lightsabers and such? Like have a double bladed one, or two short ones?

I heard of this game from moe , and he says it was really good .... + it was apperantly the reason he wasnt posting for such a long stretch of time

I know which one it is now. That game looks awesome, been planning to buy it (when I got my X-Box for X-mas my parents only got me two games that came in a package with the system (Star Wars: Clone Wars and Tetris Worlds)), but my wallet isn't that full that often...

I'm thinking about buying KOTOR, it's been getting some really good reviews and would make a refreshing change from the Jedi Knight series. [although you can also make your own lightsaber in Jedi Outcast]

*knows she started this thread about KOTOP...but that was just to share an opinion about the game. Still fully intends to plug NWN, perhaps the single greatest PC rpg of all time*

*coughs*buyit*coughs*

Buy KOTOR, and you get the following perks

-Create your own lightsaber
-Some outright bizare animation on your character's eyebrows
-Three character classes, that later branch into three jedi classes


Buy NWN, and you get the following perks instead

-Create your own weapons, armour, cloaks, accessories, helmets, clothing, and other items, with a near infinite scope of possibilities.
-Eight selectable races
-No less than 8 character classes, and a further dozen or so prestige classes, all of which you can pick and choose as you like for any variety of mulitclass characters.
- Multiplayer mode, with up to 64 players on a server at any given time
- The toolset, which allows you to create your own adventures from the ground up, or alter existing adventures (including the official campaign, if you've completed the chater you want to edit).
- Two expansion packs that allow you to expand the world even further, with new item properties, toolset areas, monsters, character classes, and entirely new adventures.
- 40 character levels, ensuring that without cheating, the same character will continue to grow and develop over countless adventures: No more boring "Oh...I'm as strong as I can get, and I'm ten hours away from the final boss...oh..."
-The ability to export your character at any time, with all skills, items and exp, allowing you to use them in other campaign settings (indeed, the third expansion pack is a direct sequal of the second, and you are encouraged to use the same character).
- Thousands upon thousands of sidequests, captivating plot lines, detailed graphics, colourful characters, and atmospheric music and tilesets.
-Downloadable programs that allow you to alter the voice set, skin, and other attributes of your character to any that exist in the game...want to play a dragon? Go right ahead Just mind the roof...


Incase you didn't realise...I really like nwn And I intend to encourage everyone I know to buy it, so we can form our own little UM community online, and knock the crap out of each other

It'll be the new way to settle debates! My level 40 epic blackguard has plenty of free time to crack some heads

I got NWN (never winter nights...seraphina forgot to add its full name >_>) And a rock hard level 29 paladin....with double katanas...and full plate...actually its been so long since i played it...only got to the start of chapter 3. o_o;;

I just finished the game yesterday, I loved it. I think they did a great job putting together an incredible storyline.

I had mentioned this before, but I used to be in game development. For 5 years or so I worked for Interplay(Baldurs Gate/Fallout) when they were making some pretty good games...I love games.

I worked on so many games for so long, that now it takes a very good game to keep me interested to the end, KOTOR did that...I am not really a big fan of the Star Wars Universe, but the plot kept me hooked the whole time.

I could only play when work schedule allowed, but I squeezed the 65 hours of playtime into less than a week. I would like to thank my wife for not filing a missing persons report, she is very supportive.

NWN was an incredible game too...

*has a diamond hard level 40 blackguard, as she stated, who has an ac of 150 something *

Don't the double katana's cause a huge dent in your attack bonus? Granted, I suppose at level 29 it should be high enough anyway...but you'd be in real trouble against an opponent with an ac of 50+

Okay peeps! Here's the plan! If you have NWN, go online in the next few mins and look in the RP section, you'll find a server called "Sera's hangout". The password'll be "chibi"

Local characters welcome...say with a level cap of 30...we'll do some ppving. I may take a few minutes to make a level 30 character, and equipment.


note: You will need to have hordes of the underdark.

I finished KOTOR with both sides a while back. It as definitely a sweet game, being on the dark side, giving really stupid responses to people was pretty fun. I played this one on my XBOX. I would definitely recommend it. It is quite addictive. Although, I do miss the ability to control my "Choke" power, like I do in Jedi Academy. Where I can grab an enemy, and Fling him across the room.
