I got to see the Star Wars movies when I was a wee one, but never really got hooked. I find most games based on blockbusters to be disappointing, to say the least. However, after reading a few threads on this forum it got me curious.

Hell yes. You dont have to be a rabid Star Wars fan to enjoy KotOR, they are just genuinely good games.

*edit* I meant rabid, not rapid, damnit.

And the front rank died
And the general sat and the lines on the map
Moved from side to side.

It depends what type of game you like - compared to BG2 the combat is simplistic and easy so if you are after tactical challenges this may not be the game for you. However the character interaction and story are top notch and are keeping me interested (I believe I am most of the way through the game). Some elements are disappointing, for example the different worlds don't really feel "alive", but the game makes up for it in other area's like the cool NPC's you meet. As the first one will be on budget release now I would say it is well worth the price.

Alrighty then. Character interaction, well-developed NPC's and rich stories are the things I usually look for in a game. Tactical challenges are just an added bonus. Thank you all for your opinion- I'll be buying the game within the next few days! :)

Not to discourage you at all, but our opinions may be somewhat biased ;)

S'alright. I don't get discouraged so easily. ;)
I already bought the game, but gotta wait for the weekend to break it open and install it.

hope you enjoy it, all I know is that if my copies somehow got broken or stopped working I'd cry, first in thanks that I won't be able to get sucked into hem (they're taht addictive) and then in anguish because of withdrawal and then I'd have to plot a horrible revenge on whomever broke them
I apparently have a high level of empathy, combined with a low level of sympathy... weird

Thanks. That's exactly how I felt when I had to reformat one of my pc's. And it just happened to be the one with all my BG2 mods and saved files. The Hulk had nothing on me then. :P
