Yeah I finished my third playthrough last week and I still had fun.
Skyway, am I respectable yet?

Esquilax said:Much like a whole bunch of people in their early 20's, KotOR was the first RPG that I ever played. It blew my mind. I saw the list of dialogue options and instantly went apeshit: "HOLY SHIT YOU CAN SAY WHATEVER YOU WANT TO THIS GUY!?!?!?!" By the time I got to the plot twist, I was completely hooked. I think around the time I was fourteen, I may have played the game almost as much as skyway has.
Obviously, as I've gotten to play more games like Fallout, Planescape: Torment, Mask of the Betrayer, etc. I realized all those games did things far better, but KotOR has a certain charm that those titles don't because it's what led me down the rabbit hole to begin with. You never forget your first love, even if that first love might have a few extra pounds and a couple missing teeth. Yeah, there are better RPG's out there of course, but I fucking loved KotOR when I first played it.

It was the key to understand Bioware dialog design and appreciate Fallout a lot more. It is enjoyable though, in 12-year old, innocent way.

What? I'm pretty sure NWN2 is universally hated as much as DA:O. There's as much "Orc caves" scorn as "Derp roads."Esquilax said:I was very surprised when I played NWN2, because the characters there were even shittier than the worst BioWare pukes. Why this game gets called "decent" and considered much better than Dragon Age, which is a very similar game, only better, is beyond me. Well not really, it's because the Codex hates BioWare games and the bad parts of DA:O is still fresh, but I digress.

Nael said:It hurts my soul that such a good game as MotB had to be a tied in sequel to NWN2. There's something in my brain that just won't let me play MotB without going through the pain of level 1-20 in NWN2 OC. I've considered getting professional help for this sort of masochism. As a result I've only played MotB twice since it was first released even though I'd love to have played it more. I haven't even done an evil play through of it yet.

Esquilax said:I don't think so. In a recent thread a few pages back I think (too lazy to search), there's a thread on NWN2 OC and whether it's worth getting. Most folks said that it was better than DA:O. Not that either game is good, but fuck NWN2 OC is just dreadful.
Beautiful Clown Painting said:I've played through both Kotor I & II only once and preferred the first one. I never would have guessed that it was written by the guy who wrote New Vegas and Torment. It seemed pretty bland at the time, and god knows I had already played and adored Torment. Perhaps if I had known that it had been written by Avellone I would have paid more attention. But I prefer that, not to have had any bias. That's why New Vegas took me by surprise, I didn't know what to expect from Avellone seeing that KOTOR 2 didn't cut the mustard for me (I never have played Motb nor Alpha Protocol yet).
