I have been really thinking about coming back to this game lately myself. It was interesting to read your story behind playing the game for the first time.

@bobafettjm: Thanks! It's on Steam and there is a mod to skip the early game, which can get quite boring. But if it's really been awhile it's a decent tutorial and playing through it means you get your story more customized.

I remember when I first played it I thought the whole game took place in Taris. Seriously, it was a good 5 to 10 hours before I got out of that planet.

I'm about to embark upon this great crusade for the first time. A lot of people I know rave about it so it's gonna be interesting. Before anyone decides to mention it no the graphics won't put me off, I don't care. :D
