Disney's marketing ejaculation got me in the mood to go back to KOTOR for the first time since the release window. 12 hours in, I'm having trouble getting the urge to keep playing it. The combat is boring, the characters are annoying, the main plot is paper thin... I liked this game a lot more when I was 12. Not sure if I can push through.

I recently re-played kotor2+communitypatch. All was find and swell, until the very end. I am not sure what happened, but as soon as I reached Malachor, and was forced to do those shitty solo" bits with basically every single character, while thinking that what lied ahead would be nothing more than the ramblings of an elderly woman... Well, that did it. Uninstall.exe. Not sure why, though. I completed kotor2 at least twice in the past, and I didn't have any such issues. Maybe I'm getting old and I'm starting to see games more objectively, even games I used to be very fond of.

The thing about the conversations in KOTOR1 is that they get old after the first playthrough. It's not brilliant writing anyway, but when you're seeing it for the first time, you have at least some morbid curiosity as to what this Carth guy's problem is. And on Taris, you're basically stuck with him, Mission and Bastila for conversation, since T3 and Zaalbar aren't very talkative, so it's unlikely you'll get to avoid their conversations and backstories. It's a bit different once you've got all the party members, then you probably won't see everything unless you use walkthroughs from the start and switch characters at the appropriate moment. That's what the next 6 playthroughs are for.

Is there actually a walkthrough that details this kind of thing? That'd get me to replay both games :M

Good one! I just assumed there would be, but now I'm not so sure. I think I've seen most party conversations of KOTOR1 somewhere or another. It's probably all on Youtube. Or maybe I've just wasted too much of my life on a merely average game. In any case, I'm sure I've watched all the HK-47 dialogue on Youtube countless times, but that's just too good.
