I took a break from CoH until they got the update in (which they did last week, though I haven’t done much in there since but noodle around), and reinstalled Knights of the Old Republic. I’d previously had a couple of characters I had gotten fairly far into the game, but lost them to a HD failure. After that, I hadn’t reinstalled.
This game is sucking me in all over again. Knowing what was coming most of the time, the battles haven’t been terribly tough. The exception being those Sand People Holy/Elite Warrior ambushes, especially when one spawned close enough to a Wraid group to draw them in. In comparison, the massive fight at the Sand People zone entry went smoothly, and Calo & Co. went down fairly easily as well.
What I’m digging is the personality this game has. It’s loaded with style, and the voice acting is excellent with few exceptions. I’ve been playing around with characters I hadn’t used much previously (particularly Canderous), and getting some fun dialogue I hadn’t heard before. There’s one conversation where he tells Bastilia that if all of the Jedi under Revan had been as incompetent as she, they would have won the war…
This game delivers for me nearly exactly what I want in a computer game. While I like playing some games as a quick diversion, KOTOR, through its quality, just demands to be played.
