I'm glad thrawn died in the end, because Kevin j Anderson would have hosed up his character so badly later

Korriban is definitely the best part of Kotor, hands down. It's got fun characterization of NPCs It's got relatively coherent, but tangled plots It's got interesting set pieces The barriers to progress don't feel artificial The moral choices are marginally better It doesn't have: Large open areas with repetitive combat encounters against wild animals Backtracking Fetch quests That thing on manaan no one likes but I can't discuss as a spoiler, but you know what I mean

Edgar Allen Ho posted:With all these hesitant sith around Korriban almost strikes me like we should’ve gotten a party member here. Yuthura probably. She’d be more interesting than T3 and it’d be neat to have an NPC dark side force user. Bioware didn't stumble on the "every mission gives you a thematic party member" magic formula until mass effect 2/dragon age 2.

Never winter nights single player original campaign is a Bad Game. Just a horrible slog of repitive encounters that are level scaled to always take a little too long, test only your ability to do the optimal strategy over and over, looking ugly the whole goddamn way, with 4 chapters of just the most generic possible fetch quests, with at most one instance of interesting dungeon design per chapter, and maybe one interesting piece of writing per chapter. I don't think there's a single thing they did well. The absolute nadir of every bad thing about bioware games.

Nwn2's main campaign is at or above typical for bioware. The plot goes somewhere, most of the areas have a legitimate sense of place. The writing flows naturally. It even managed to be clever sometimes. I wouldn't list it as a favorite game of all time. And it has its share of problems(that loving door), but comparing it against the absolute trash that is nwn1 is just totally unfair.

Angry_Ed posted:While it is irrelevant to the larger battle, it does serve as an object lesson that the Jedi are wrong in the idea that you must forego personal affection/attachment. Luke avoids the Dark Side because he refuses to kill his own father. Anakin (despite being a genocidal child murderer as we learn later) is redeemed by saving his son's life at the cost of his own. Specifically it's also a rebuke to Obi-Wan and Yoda, who are adamant that Darth Vader must be killed and Anakin cannot be brought back from the dark side of the force. He did kill Vader from a certain point of view

achtungnight posted:It's amusing that the Dark Side gives your character yellow eyes, pale flesh and so on, and yet no matter what, in the reveal of your character as Revan, even if you're Light now and supposedly Dark then, your face looks... the same. I don't know if this counts as spoilers, but the sequel drops the vaguest hints that revan was evil-but-with-a-good-cause, not just reveling in spite like malack

6000 corpses in your wake, but it's evil to make an unrepentant slaver can't enslave or murder more people. The light side really is just defending the status quo, huh?

EggsAisle posted:I remember doing these math puzzles too, in particular the final one, because I was in high school at the time and we were, no poo poo, learning about logarithms in math class. I had to laugh, I'd always heard that learning math in school would come in handy someday, but I hadn't been expecting it to be quite so direct. I'm racking my brain to remember the trial in nwn1. 2's was memorable, but if 1 had one it was deep in some side quests

"I went there in behest of the republic who were spying on your people and needed to recover their spy data" should have been a legit dark side path. All of manaan makes the republic look like a greedy lovely government using whataboutism as a cover for awful crimes, and I wish the story let you lean into that.

Manaan has 3 loving trial segments. And none of them are coded with the very reasonable judge behavior of "weren't you just in my court room?"
