DriacKin, I've been meaning to do an LP for a while now, so I'll use you to influence the Codex masses:
If you decide to do KOTOR, I'll do a serious KOTOR2-esque LP of MotB. I've played it a few times so I believe I can pull it off. If you do MotB, I'll do a LP of Gorky 17, in a Shadow of the Comet style. I don't want to touch KOTOR, ever.
One should only do a Planescape: Torment LP in case they're sentenced for life in a single-person cell.
Not because it's bad, no. It's awesome. It's just so goddamned vast that it would take years to make a meaningful LP of it if the player has anything at all to do. And even if they don't it will still take them years to make the LP entertaining without just copypasting the screenshots without comments.
Well, it seems that Knights of the Old Republic is the overwhelming winner!!!
That being said, should we play with a male or female hero? If I remember correctly, the only difference is the romance option that you get.
So, do we play a male and have Bastila fall in love with us, or play as a chick and get Carth?

If you play as a chick, Carth will make dirty sexist old man jokes in order to flirt with you, including cringe-worthy "humour" dialogue about how he wants to "spank" you to "set you straight".
You get to make sarcastic lady jokes at him to put him down, including lines as smug as, "You're too old for me, old man",.etc,.etc,.etc.
I'd say play Female, and go Dark Side --- as betrayal favors the female temperament (*nudge, nudge --- wink, wink*). But... to experience the game as intended by the designers, you have to go Male, Light Side. No way around it.
Flip a coin. Both romances are equally bad. The one with Bastila because of the corny "Love is forbidden for the Jedi!" bullshit that makes Episode II look like a modern masterpiece of romantic fiction; the one with Carth because of how quickly he starts making moves on Revan (SPOILERS, LULZ!), despite supposedly being a mourning widower who'll never, ever forget his beloved wife.
Some of these consisting of me playing devil's advocate. For my help, I demand tribute in form of a black jedi PC named Scooba Dinks. Bonus points for Sith route and making Bastilla your sexual slave :Q
(thought tbh I'd think a female would be better because I guess most people here played as males. I usually play as females but I wanted to go with the chinese looking dude)
But A Lionheart LP would be amusing if only for seeing your sanity slip little by little
Bla, bla, bla... Essentially, there’s a really EVIL dude named Malak who’s trying to take over the galaxy, for no other reason that because he’s EVIL.
Following that, we see a space battle. This ship seems to be under attack.
That’s me!!
And, here’s a close up shot of our beautiful hero.
Just like almost every other crappy science fiction story ever made, this game starts off with our ship under attack.
Thank fucking god they told me to ‘left-click here to select this reponse.’
BioWare is so helpful!
So anyway, who exactly is this old dude with grey hair and a silly uniform, you ask?
This line of dialogue only played because we chose the ‘Scoundrel’ class.
Actually, I can’t remember much about my past... I’m sure that won’t haunt me later on in the game. Not at all.
Who the hell is Bastila?
Bastila’s the commanding officer on the Endar Spire. She’s the one in charge of this mission.
One of our primary duties is to guarantee her survival in the event of enemy attack! You swore an oath just like everyone else on this mission.
Fuck her. We should just head for the escape pods without her.
Also, this is a lie. The sith are, in fact, quite easy to kill.
Anyway, we finally have control of our character. Thus begins the adventures of tranny jedi Volourn.
Anyway, that locker holds some clothes as well as a few weapons.
And here’s what we look like after we put on our clothes.
But, unfortunately, we can’t even walk for 10 fucking seconds before getting punched in the face with moar cutscene.
Meet Carth. He talks to us over our personal communicator.
Also, for those of you who are too lazy to play this yourself, he
eventually becomes our bitch.
Well, it seems that I’m not the only one who has a crush on him.
We walk about three steps until we slam into another cutscene:
A bunch of dudes wearing aluminum foil helmets attack us.
COMBAT TUTORIAL!!!!!
Combat in KotOR is pretty simple. All you have to is click on one of the enemies once; wait about 20 seconds until he’s dead, and repeat until all the enemies are dead.
So, after another few minutes, we come upon a couple jedi fighting each other.
Conveniently, both of them die in the fight, so we don’t have to worry about either one of them.
So...in other words, that entire cutscene was completely pointless. :sigh:
As the caption states, this door leads to the ship’s bridge. If you remember, Carth had told us to head for the bridge.
What the hell? I’m not even allowed to pick what weapon I’m using?
Exactly. The game doesn’t let us proceed until we switch to our melee weapon.
Thus, the game forces us to use our melee weapons to kill these dudes, despite the fact that we’re a rogue-type character and are much more skilled with ranged weapons...
Anyway, we’ve arrived at the bridge, according to Carth’s orders. However, it seems to be completely abandoned.
As we try to leave the bridge, the game gives us a tutorial of the level up screen.
LEVEL UP!!!
While leveling up, we get to choose where we place some fairly meaningless skill points.
But, as we open the door, we find a dark jedi dude waiting for us.
This is cool. Seems like we might have a challenging fight ahead of us!
But, instead of letting us fight the dude, Trask decides to tackle him all alone.
Oh. He’s such a sweetie!!
WTF? Trask just decided to sacrifice himself for the sake of some chick he just met like 5 minutes ago?
Don’t be jealous. I just have that effect on big strong guys. :D
...
As the little caption states, the game doesn’t even give us the option of helping Trask.
So...instead, we head through the other door, which leads us to yet another cutscene.
We’re the ‘last surviving crew member’? So that means Trask got killed by the dark jedi dude?
Stupid men.
Anyway, after a few more fights, we meet the super orgasmic legendary awesome soldier himself:
Meh. For a super legendary soldier, he seems like a damn coward.
Whatever. I think he’s cute.
There’s only one escape pod, so I think that means that we’re gonna have to share the share it with Carth.
:D
And for completing this stage, BioWare rewards us with another cutscene.
This is our escape pod. The ship in the background was the Endar Spire.
And in stereotypical action movie fashion, the ship blows up two seconds after we escape.
We land on a nearby planet.
We seemed to have crashed into the middle of the city.
And, thus ends the game’s tutorial stage.
That wasn’t too painful. At least it didn’t last like 2 hours like Fallout 3’s tutorial did.
