    Best RPG Of All Time...ALL TIME!

    I've played many games throughout my life. Many many games. No game has captivated me, immersed me, stimulated me, emotionally effected me, and impressed me like this game has. An old game, from 2003, it may be, but its graphics still hold up fairly well for today's standards. The character's voice acting is second to none--it's amazing. The story is epic as it is emotionally enthralling, riddled with twists, turns, and emotional moments. The control is fluent, performance is great, and the visuals are stunning. The game has remarkable depth; there are over 3 classes, and 3 subclasses, each with their own feats. Choice plays a HUGE role in KOTOR, made possible by the interactive dialog system the game sports. Using skills like Persuasion or Intimidation, or even Jedi Mind Trick, can dramatically alter conversations, or even prevent violence. 
    It took me a good 20-30 hours to complete, but there's so many sidequests and areas to explore. There's also many mods, including Brotherhood Of Shadow, a player made expansion pack that adds to the story, much like a Mass Effect 2 DLC would. 
    Get this game. You'll love it forever.

But now that KOTOR wears the 20 dollar price tag, these annoyances can be overlooked to find a game that still holds up. The first four or five hours of the game are a little slow. While I won’t spoil any of the plot for people who have not pla...

      When Knights of the Old Republic was announced, it was like a dream come true for Star Wars fans AND RPG fans. The combination of the best North American RPG developer in Bioware and the Star Wars franchise seemed to good to be true. And the final product is not just good, but great. KOTOR is a dreamlike middle way mix of a typical american RPG like Bioware's own Baldur's Gate series and a japanese RPG like Final Fantasy, at least that's the way I see it. It has a streamlined, more personal a...
