StarWars: Knights of the Old Republic

[Alexander_Ordos]

So...I play it know looks great. Did you like it?

[Alexander_Ordos]

Wierd..none fo you guys have played it? Hmm I guess i can give it a little itroduction. The graphics are similar to NWN but a bit enchanced. Also the game is based on D&D system (partialy). There're 3 character classes in te begining - soldier, scout or scoundrel. The storyline is quite interesting: Republic ship gets ambushed by the Sith fleet and in the end you get strangled on blockaded world called "Tarris". You find yourself, with anther survivor from the ship, in a big city and...you gotta do smth  ;)

Currently I'm Lv.7 Scout specialising in melee combat.

4 CDs, 2 GB install, at least 1 Ghz, nothing for me, it is no art to make game with such requirements...

I heard it's great but I've never actually played it.  I'm not a big fan of RPGs.  (Well, more accurately, I think they're the sh*ttiest genre of games of Earth, perhaps second only to the kiddie educational ones.)

The game is totaly worth the requirements. Graphics are great, the story...is not typical StarWars. And it has Movie cutscenes (like in FF) during the game. Also it has a lot of things from hardocre rpg's of FF class, like some mini-games, huge cities, lots of things that you can do your way..etc.. Tt runs smoothely at highest settings on my AMD 2400+, 256 DDR and GeForce3 TI 200

I'm currently lvl 12 Jedy Councelor...finaly I can see all the lightsaber action  ;)

a tip..

get master speed

and master flurry its really usefull against the final boss.

[Alexander_Ordos]

Thanks I'll see to it. I currently have Advance Flurry and Basic Speed boost.

[Dragoon Knight]

Played the game and completed it.

[thomas]

awesome game, and if you go to the dark side you get a handle bar mustache :D

[Dragoon Knight]

Moustache?!  It must depend on which face you choose on character creation... mine just got a head laced with purple veins...

[thomas]

the handle bars one is hilarious

I think one of the reasons few people replied at first was that we had this discussion already, only a few weeks ago.

I enjoyed the game very much.  The story surprised me, as I expected little more than some weak prequel-based stuff.

Ok..a little status report:

Lv. 13 Jedi Councelor, have just finished Manaan and moved to the red gas planet. I'm frying my enemies with lightening now  ;)

Anyway there's one thing in the game, that's a bit wierd - How can one possibly block a lightsaber with a simple metal blade?

[exatreide]

it explained a bit on Taris when you first started about that... I dont remeber now as i think my disc is scratched

[Alexander_Ordos]

Well I remember an allien guy explain me why people use melee weaponry and that's simply because of shields. But I don't remember anything about lighsabersword combat  :-

[ordos45]

Love the game, need to try and go to the Light Side next time I play.  I mean really...I keep going to the Dark Side..  They have all the fun powers.

Another tip for the final boss, since you seem to be travelling down the Dark Side...Use Drain Life on the tubes with people in them before he does.  Battle goes a lot faster if he can't restore his stats with them.

[Hawat]

...a saber throw is also sufficient. Don't know what needs more mana, life drain or the throw

Light-sided heros always had the boring powers. Since Jedi Knight. Can't they come up with something new and creative for the Jedi?

[Super-ness]

Was a bit easy i reckon

I completed it, that says a lot

[Alexander_Ordos]

Actually I'm pure light side, but I still like to have some offensive powers up my sleeve  ;) Sadly light powers are only enchanting and protecting. In Jedi Academy I had only heal from the light powers, all others were dark.
