Kotor

[child of Thor]

84hrs and still going, on my first character - maybe i should pause the game when i take a food/loo break? I'm really trying to cover all the subplots, and i found another interesting one today while taking a couple of party members i usually leave behind.

(also got my first memmory loss bug thing - i ended up with two wookies on my ship!!).

@ Da Psycopath, yep a true lord of the sith

I beat the game after ~30 hours, but I'm gonna do another run-through here. Still loving it

I'm on Tattoine now, finished the wookie-land and Manaan first. I love the game and I don't generally (at all) play RPG's.

The UI is obviously designed for the console, and although it isn't bad it is kind of strange for a computer game.

Oh, very true. At least it isn't too bad, though I had to get used to the 'movement'.

You have to love Bioware making this game. You can easily see aspects of Baldur's Gate in the game. The paused real-time combat first of all, and the way the dialog as well.

Btw, what are you classes?

I'm a Scout-Consular (I actually did pick what the questions indicated I should ).

And my party (like all the time) is:

Spoiler:

Bastila and Carth. Though I may try Zaalbar instead of Carth once in a while

I'm a scoundrel-sentinel.

I switch the party members around alot, usually going with whoever makes the most sense to have around at the time.

The UI was redesigned for PC. The console interface is different, from what I've read.

The other thing I don't like is the teleport-back-to-base feature, and same for the changing party members at any time, at any place.... I also wish you could have more then two party members at a time, but oh well. The world design can feel a bit 'levelish' at times, aswell.

That's not exactly true. When you're on the Wookie homeworld, down in the Shadowlands, I wasn't able to go back to the Ebon Hawk or change party members. Ditto on Mannan during that certain main story mission.


I'm a soldier-consular. I carry red and yellow lightsabers. I usually have Bastilla with me, always good to have another with you. I'll change up the other character as needed, but I prefer to have three Jedi going when possible.

Have you seen the "You have to gather your party before venturing forth" message? I was on Tatooine and for some reason one of my party members was stuck somewhere else and when I tried going into the cantina I saw it, I inmediately remembered BG Aahh... the memories

Yeah, I'm just glad there wasn't a voice speaking it over and over again (talking about 'Unspeakable Horror' ) .

My party composition definitely changes based on the needs. My utility droid, for example, has a computer skill of something like +35, so I use him for my slicing needs.

Generally, though, my party consists of Bastila and Jolee, and I'm a Soldier-Jedi Guardian. A Jedi Guardian, Sentinal, and Consular, all at once

I just had to have a blue lightsaber(and thus be a gaurdian), as it was lukes first lightsaber

KOTOR is one kick ass game. I love it.

Just curious... but does it actually give you a resolution higher then 640x480 for the 36' TV? I would hate to imagine how ugly it'd be if it didn't.

It's surprisingly good looking on the Xbox. I have played it on Xbox but also on the PC (Radeon 9800 Pro, Athlon 64 3200+).

I play it on the Xbox on a Sony WEGA XBR 36" (HDTV), though the game runs in 720x480. But the Xbox build has anti-aliasing turned on (though only Quincunx, but it does the job) and by how TVs work, anti-aliases a bit more with all of the filters.

It's just as playable on both, and looks great on both. Sounds better in Dolby Digital 5.1 on a 620W sound system though.

Ok, so I got a $50 Best Buy card and no other games (that I care about) on the horizon. Should I get KOTOR? Are people still playing/enjoying it?
