That final gauntlet of infinitely respawning enemies in the Star Forge must have ended so many non-Jedi/Sith challenge runs. If you don’t have crowd control abilities and high enough DPS to get rid of one group before the next makes it to you, they will wear you down.
On the other hand if you DO have force powers (which the developers clearly balanced the endgame for) and a decent team, it’s a cathartic march of triumph as you blast your way through dozens of what used to be somewhat challenging enemies while Malak panics in the background.
Yeeeaaahh, as a single target sniper it was all hell. Respeccing into something force was very nice! I woke up as a soldier, damn it, I was going to be a soldier.
The first KOTOR feels like it belongs in the original canon. It’s basically a perfect Star Wars movie with a bunch of game padding around it. It’s the most “Star Wars” Star Wars outside of the Original Trilogy.
KOTOR 2 did what Rian Johnson tried to do in deconstructing and subverting the usual Star Wars tropes, and did so a million times more competently than The Last Jedi. With the Restored Content mod it’s one of my favorite pieces of media ever.
I never could get kotor 2 to run on my machines. I did play the first one. Years and years after it released. Somehow not knowing the twist.
I still did very poorly as it turns out being a sniper was a bad idea for the uhhh ending.
Cheats enabled it was and a complete respec later, tada! Fun.

Except, like, no. The game said no lmfao.
Clearly the problem was that you didn’t bring enough grenades!
Grenades do solve a lot of problems!
If the amount of explosives you use doesn’t replace your current problem with a new, even larger one, you didn’t use enough explosives!
KOTOR 1 was good, but KOTOR 2 was a masterpiece if you can stomach the janky combat from the first. The writing is [chef’s kiss]

That video has been in my aptly-named “Watch Eventually” playlist for ages. I should get around to actually watching it!
It’s insanely good, most things from him are great but I think this one may be my favourite.
I checked my playlist and it’s very nearly the oldest entry still on there. It’s definitely due for a watch by this point!
