    I'm okay with this chat.

    I thought it was The Old Republic themed, but KorOR is good.

    the narrative thrust of kotor2 is star wars is for children *spits in your eye*

    Shameful pursuits and utterly stupid opinions

    @Gim they screened Feeding Frenzy and it was pretty much exactly what you'd expect

    everyone's in it, too, Jack and the Wizard, even the hooker from Plinkett's basement

    My sister said recently that the first one is better, so I disowned her.

    The first one has narrative thrust and a satisfying ending

    I love KOTOR2 but having played it many times I still cannot tell you what you are doing for like half of it. You wander around ruined Telos a lot? For like hours and hours. And then you go into a base, I think. And then you go into some more bases. God it's like you never ever get to actually fly your damn spaceship around.

    I don't think I can argue with that!

    The beginning of the game is SOOOOO boring!

    The end was terrible originally as well, but that was fixed in the fanpatch.

    two quotes from a spoilery part of motb still resonate with me - 'only love could be so cruel, i think' and 'all crusades are selfish; the trappings of righteousness come later'

    I am still of the opinion that Chris Avellone is a poor choice of writer for a Star Wars game. Much like Torment served as commentary on D&Disms, Sith Lords tried to deconstruct Star Wars. But deconstructing it within the setting itself doesn't ever feel right, it's supposed to be a pulpy black-and-white setting. The Planescape setting helped signpost that it wasn't going to be a typical D&D experience in away that would not have worked if they had tried to make it Baldurs Gate 3 instead.

    MOTB is a strange setting with great characters and a morally ambiguous plot

    turn off the spirit hunger mechanic with console commands and enjoy

    I love the conversations in this game

    kreia has some good bitchy lines too
    Darth Sion: After all that has happened, still you live. You are difficult to kill.
    Kreia: For one as limited as you, perhaps. To have fallen so far and learned nothing, that is your failure.

    she does it if u do the opposite too

    she is a troll but its k

    i actually think she works quite well in the setting simply because she isnt right

    she goes off the deep end quite loopily

    the cut content owns too

    not every star wars thing needs to be that but i dont think kotor2 suffered dramatically because of it

    There's so many video game Father Figures out there

    It was cool to see Kreia rock the shit out of the Menacing Grandmother Figure

    (Also damnit clone wars if Palpatine had to have a fight scene, he should've done the Kreia force-sabering thing)

    One thing about MOTB, it's an obsidian game so your companions do not fair well in most endings

    I kind of like that she really is committed to her cause

    the player cannot dissuade her from it, and in fact can become her enemy
