Review RPG Vault admires KOTOR

[Vault Dweller]

Tags: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

We have another contestant for our “Media Whore of the Week” show. Give a warm welcome to <a href=http://rpgvault.ign.com>RPG Vault</a> who posted this epic, as in extending beyond the usual, <a href=http://rpgvault.ign.com/articles/448/448872p1.html>review</a> of <a href= http://www.bioware.com/games/knights_old_republic>KOTOR</a>
<br>
<br>
<blockquote> <b>The control system is a little unusual</b>, although it doesn't take long to learn it…
<br>
<b>The inventory system is also somewhat non-standard.</b> Each character can equip up to nine items in the slots mentioned earlier. Anything not in use is kept in a common pool that appears to have no limit as to how much you can carry - a boon for players who like to hoard lots of loot, which is also made possible because credits are not all that difficult to come by.
<br>
<b>Selection of equipment is another thing that's done in an atypical manner.</b> Rather than drag and drop, you open a slot by clicking on it, then choose what to put in it from among the articles that can go there, which are the only ones shown.</blockquote>
<br>
Hahaha…is it a new language now? Unusual, non-standard, atypical instead of completely fucked up. What's next? Gameplay-challenged?

HAHA! It's either because they find those elements differently cool; or it';s a code word for they suck.

That said, those three elements are probably the three things that I hate the most about KOTOR and are probably why it isn't up with the Fallouts and BGs of the world.

Unusual must be synonimous to bad. Otherwise I am just confused.

Also, instead of trying to make combat look good, the reviewer chooses to conveniently ignore its problems instead :twisted:

Well that is interesting, had it been Might and Magic X then that review would have been followed with a really bad SUCKS! I will never get over how MMIX got bashed for having a bunch of building that all looked the same and for NWN it was because of the really rad toolset. Talk about different spins...
