The Sith assassin Visas is contemplative and patient, with even her romantic arc fitting more of an asexual dynamic than a carnal one. They serve not only to critique numerous Star Wars archetypes, but to play off each other to explore deeper themes. Rather than archetypes with brief yet exciting backstories and the odd personal quest, your companions are fully realized individuals who embody whole philosophies. This attention to detail extends across the whole campaign. As tutorials go, few strive as hard to embody the back-and-forth of a player and their GM. In lieu of a save state import, it lets you establish the events of the last game in idle conversation, like a gamemaster who improvises without skipping a beat. The prologue aboard the mining facility of Peragus might be a slow burn, but it rewards every character creation choice made. Yet the actual role-playing experience is superb. The combat has aged like spoiled milk, and while I might enjoy the aesthetic, the art design can only do so much to offset the limited animations and blocky graphics. Well, what I want is more content with the quality of KOTOR 2. People always ask me what it is that I “want from Star Wars” if what’s already on offer isn’t enough.
Yet, when I returned to it this time, after a decade and a canon reset later, I wasn’t met with overwhelming awe. It’s considered a landmark role-playing experience, expanding leaps and bounds upon the foundation of its predecessor from BioWare. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords ( KOTOR 2), Obsidian’s sole contribution to a galaxy far, far away, remains one of the franchise’s most shining jewels.
