I liked KOTOR a lot more than BG2.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!

KOTOR 2 was where I cut my teeth on RPG’s for the first time. To this day the ambient music on the Ebon Hawk brings back fond memories of interesting conversations with my crew. It was where I discovered how I like to play most RPGs, what tactics to use etc.

Good Memories. Didn’t play KOTOR 1 until years later, and the twist had already been spoiled. Though, having learned so much about Revan in KOTOR 2; it shaped how I played him in 1.

Good Memories. Still replay it every couple of years.

KOTOR is ****, very forgettable and started the "Bioware Story Structure" crap with same characters they used from game to game.
there's nothing wrong with reusing the same story structure and character archetypes from game to game.

I try to go through the whole game at least once a year. It's become kind of an annual tradition for me.

The problem is that the writing was worse and they had already done those archetypes better in the preceding games, for example Jaheira was more interesting character than Bastila, and they already did the "tough-*** mercenary fighter" archetype with Korgan better than the Mandalorian. Although I did find HK-47 and the old geezer kinda fun in KOTOR.

If you're gonna sperg out about tough-*** mercenary fighter archetypes in RPGs your list of acceptable games is gonna be very small. There's nothing wrong with archetypal characters in narratives those archetypes formed for a reason.

I appreciate the inclusion of [Lie] dialog options in these games. A nice bit of roleplay/way to earn dark side points that acknowledges when you're being duplicitous in a way a lot of other games don't. A lot of games don't really consider the players potential reasoning for making certain decisions. Am I helping out this person because I'm nice or for the money? Am I taking this oath because I believe in it and genuinely will try to uphold it or am I just saying what they want to hear for personal gain? Stuff like that is neat.

There's an entire deviant art with way, way worse fanart of Vin Diesel as Bao-Dur for some reason.

In other news about to hit the Telos surface. I love these ****** like you would not believe.

God KotOR was such a good game, maybe I'm a zoomer ****** and rating inflating it because it's my first real RPG but holy **** it's the only vidya I can replay fully every single year and never feel bored of it. This thread reminded me that I need to do my yearly playthrough soon again.

I feel and do the same but with KOTOR II. I've tried to pace myself and let more time pass between playthroughs though as my knowledge of it is getting sleep walkthrough the game tier.

I enjoy KotOR II a lot as well, they are both in my top ten favorite games of all time, but I do prefer replaying the first one mostly because I'm a Bastila simp and generally prefer the calming ambience and mood the game has. But I tend to rotate how I feel about them depending on my own mood and the time of the year. The worst part about replaying kotor is trying to get it fully modded every time and realizing it'll take 5 hours to install all the ******* mods manually with TSL patcher while not bricking the game.

Lynch also talked **** about product placement, and then plastered corpo logos all over Twin Peaks S03.

Maybe he also watches movies on a phone in his spare time, who knows.

The "Get real!" line makes him sound like a *** with impotent rage. Like that one video of a fat reddit neckbeard screaming "CHUD! CHUD! CHUD!" at some guy in class.

The Star Map quiz on Kashyyk where the correct answer is to allow the enemy to attack your city in order to rally people afterwards formed synapses in my little baby brain and caused me to be at least 3% more evil
