Reviewing KOTOR, aka Star Wars - Knights of the Old Republic

kotor 2, my favorite jrpg
full spoilers in video

Welcome longtime KOTOR fans - this video isn't really for you. I'm not much of a Star Wars buff, and I've barely interacted with its associated media - even the films. Still, patrons voted for KOTOR, so I'm doing KOTOR. I had more fun than expected, but it took a while to get on board. I'd say 2 really takes it over the top.

It's hard to talk about the games because, frankly, some people are vast repositories of information about the series, and I'm just here to talk about my experience. And that experience was minimal! Switch ports, no lost content patch, this is not how these games are traditionally played. But it's worth noting that it'll be how some number of new fans plays the games, so let's examine what we've got - ya can't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

Told short, I was blown away by the sequel's narrative - specifically getting to show that old hag Kreia a thing or two about hope and jrpg protagism. Check it.

*note for any potential new patronage, I'm using May to upload 1 very large video (KOTOR was supposed to be at the end of April) and it won't be a traditional KBash piece. After May it's back to business as usual.
