KOTOR is w00tly

[Frankychan]

I forget, in KOTOR 1 can you Force-Choke fools? I played KOTOR 2 so often that I can't remember the original. Force Choke is always a fun thing to do, especially when you watch them squirm before you crush their trachea.



But steering this back on track. I definitely think that KOTOR1 was INFINITELY better than KOTOR2. It isn't as "broken"...its still fun to play tho...

That people didn't see the twist is unbelievable. The computer simply says it all. Quite frankly it's impossible not to know who you are unless you're just hacking and slashing your way through the game, not listening to conversations and cut-scenes.

And about Bastila... If you consider the constant babbling of Bastila, well it's just too obvious that she'd fall for the dark side.

I seem to be the only one around here that doesn't find KOTOR such a great game. It's okay I'll give you that, otherwise I wouldn't have finished it. On the other hand the combat is so repetitive, and there's not much freedom in the game. (probably because it's also a console game)

Only dying twice or thrice in an entire game is not very challenging, unlike BG when I died 10/hour

You know, I've heard others say this and I have to say, hindsight sure is 20/20 . Plenty of people who have played the game in depth, listening to all conversations were shocked by the twist.

Either it looks obvious now, or you are really good at picking up plot twists. Either way, I'll have to say, hindsight is 20/20.

I think its a really beutiful game, even after all these years. Each planet has its own special flavour to it. I found i could easily spend hours watching my gf play it. Great game and one i will endevour to finish soon

I'm not sure i will get the second KOTOR, this one is just about perfect and maybe the second will tarnish the experience of the first then again i keep looking for it in the budget labels of my local store, so i probably will.

All these years? Did I sleep for a *really* long time last night?

[child of Thor]

2 years? i think i've had it two years........anyway thanks to Kuciwalker i've now started playing it again.

Last time i got about 80% through as a 'good' guy. Sadly i've long deleted that save game, so now i've started over with a scoundrel.

Han - "scoundrel? i like the sound of that. I reckon you could do with more scoundrels in your life".

Leia - "I happen to like nice men".

Han - "I'm a nice man".

i'll play it as a 'han-solo' type rather than a 'luke' i think. I've already picked up darkside points for selling the serum to the gangsta - the profit margin was better. And i'm winding up Garth as much as possible.

What i like about this game is that it is, in a way, one of the rare examples of a game that works well with a strong movie type feel to it.

Indeed, the backgrounds and graphics were beautiful. They have some good designers; maybe a day/night-cycle and different weather could've made it even better though

Threadjacking, but what does "w00tly" mean?

I suspect it's along the lines of L8 (for "late"), but if those "00":s are zeroes (or pronounced "naught") I can't figure it out...

[Kuciwalker]

It's pronounced wootly, and it means "awesome" or "cool".

...just like pwn is pronounced porn (by everyone except the internationally-recognised weirdo DrSpike) and means "to take up the ass" (metaphorically).

On topic (before rah arrives), yes, KotOR is w00tly , but KotOR II wasn't enough of an improvement.

[child of Thor]

Was KotorII as good as Kotor? I dont mind it not improving on Kotor as i thinkthey got the first one just about perfect.

Anyway - i'm not exactly going to go full to the darkside this time around. But i've been more abrasive this time around, picking fights and being 'up for it' most of the time. I even chated up a sith officer and went to her party where they all got legless.

Fun game rightly one of the modern day 'classics' imho.

Actually, my thread on this important gaming topic showed that my pronunciation is the norm, and anyone that pronounces it porn is clearly sexually frustrated.

No it isn't. It's pronounced P-own.

I just finished Kotor2 (for the 3rd time) a few hours ago. I did the entire game in like a week. .

I'd say Kotor is perhaps slightly better than Kotor2, but only slightly. Really they are about the same. In fact, there aren't that many differences. And most of the differences are in Kotor2's favour. Like building your own items, breaking down items. Containers that show as empty. If only the ending didn't feel so rushed. The story is more complex, but consequently some parts seem a little confusing. Even with high influences with most of my NPC's. This story line is more grey than the white and black storyline of Kotor1.

for instance. maybe someone can answer this.

Spoiler:

I still don't understand the deal with Atris after Kreia meets with her (after Handmaiden brings her back to Telos). Is she a sith? Kreia mentions awakening her. I realize she had a lot of anger and love for the exile. But she didn't exactly seem like a sith. And then later in her conversation with you, she mentions attacking and crushing the sith, but then when you defeat her, she says it will be you who defeats the sith, not her as she had hoped. Is she a good guy or bad guy? That's basically what I'm asking.

Spoiler:

Her arrogance, anger, and love turned her to the Dark Side. When she began to listen to Sith teachings for more understanding of the new Sith threat, she fell right into the trap. She is just a Dark Sided Jedi that hates the Sith, merely because her former Jedi-self opposed the Sith, and she must keep some of her old identity. When you defeat her and then show her mercy, she redeems herself and becomes light-side once again.
