For our younger generation of gamers, its an old school RPG. For us old guys, its a timeless classic that still holds up today. Definitely doing at LEAST 2 play-thrus is a MUST! I hope the younger guys and gals can enjoy it as much as we have for the last 23 years.

If you haven't played this game before, this is your sign to do so. A foundational title to video game design ethos. Also, please install QoL mods. I love this game but it's OLD.

This is the most frustrating game I've ever played and that's because it hates modern hardware. First I booted the game and everything was stuck in 800x600 and I couldn't go to windowed mode. Okay cool, found out there's a patcher so I installed that and replaced my .exe and now I can play in 1920x1080 windowed, awesome! Then I make my character, get into combat, and as soon as it ends I can't move my character. Do some searching, find out any framerate above 72FPS causes your traversal script to break. Okay, download rivatuner and set the FPS cap to 72FPS. Awesome, seems to be going great, I play for 6 hours straight with no issues and beat Taris. Oh no, in the undercity there's black textures streaking across my screen and preventing progress. Okay, let's google, oh apparently having grass of all things enabled causes the bug. Disabled grass, all works fine. Get to the Ebon Hawk. Pause and save my game, I'll play tomorrow. Tomorrow comes, try loading my game from the main menu, every single save crashes on load. Search around, the only fix is to delete everything in the "currentgame" and "futuregame" folders, start a new game then load your game from the in-game pause menu. I do that, and it works, but now I have to do that every single time I play the game because the fix for disabling pause buffer and soft shadows doesn't work on it. Now I'm on Kashyyyk and loading into exteriors crashes the game, look online, you need to run in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP2. Do that, works fine now. Waiting on the next inevitable issue. And another issue cropped up a day later, I quicksaved and the game crashed at the same time, corrupting my quicksave entirely. Fortunately, I had a manual save from 20 mins before, but man that took the wind out of my sails. Another thing that likes to happen is sometimes your ally and player AI breaks: you can start a fight, but your two companions stand still and are locked onto the enemies but wont do anything. You can solve this with quicksaving then quickloading, but it got me killed a few times. I feel like I've worked 4 hours doing tech support just to play this thing but I loved this game. I beat it on the Xbox years ago but only remember the plot twist. Despite my headaches, I do recommend this game, but be prepared for some major headaches ironing out all the compatibility issues you'll face. Even if you're not a Star Wars fan, which I don't consider myself either, this game as an RPG is one of the best and you can see a lot of the DNA that carried over into Mass Effect. All in all, if we judged this game as a product of its time, it's easily a 10/10 and likely worked out of the box back then. Judging it by modern hardware standards, it's an 8/10 due to the tedium of getting everything to cooperate, but once it does, you get one of the best Star Wars games and RPGs ever made. I never felt restricted to one path, I played light at first, then I turned to the Dark Side on Korribaan but the game allowed me to redeem myself which I chose to do after Juhani gave me a speaking to. That kind of flexibility is absent in a lot of modern games, even BioWare's own. KotoR really lives up to its reputation of being one of the best games ever made. I hope Steam gives it the same treatment KotoR 2 got so it works better for future players.
