It’s not that long ago that I played both KOTOR games for the first time and I have to agree that the game might not be that intuitive by today standards. But now after a lot of people played BG3 it might be not that hard anymore to figure this game out.
As someone who loves RPGs and Star Wars, it took me about 10 attempts to actually get more than an hour into the game before turning it off. It’s just that dated. I did eventually power through the first few hours and then the non-aged moments (story and writing) became good enough for me to stick around. I can definitely see how most people wouldn’t want to play it for the first time at this point though.
I do. The originals were locked behind an anti-consumer EULA once Disney got ahold of them. Since I won’t agree to their EULA, I was holding out hope for the remake.
I’m not sure if id trust the remake to have a more reasonable EULA tbh, and frankly with the originals if you want to play and don’t like the EULA i’d say pirate it, KOTOR is 20 years old now at this point.
Honestly i just play the originals. I don’t need a remake
If you’ve played it before that’s doable. Someone who has never played it will have a bad time. It’s seriously outdated.
The combat is clunky but let’s be real, does anyone play it for the combat?
it is a star wars game, id expect lightsaber combat to be at least passable lol. i love kotor 1 but my god the combat is horrible
They’re D20 games. They behave exactly as one would expect with turn based combat.

What was special about the eula?
It contains an arbitration clause. Arbitration clauses are evil. No one should ever agree to them.
