If you think my channel deserves a few dollars then you can now become a patron! patreon.com/H0wlrunn3r?

[@shiveringisles3509]

do you record Kotor 1 with EAX 3 enabled?

[@Zhanrock]

Obey the laws here on Manaan, Human.

[@jimhuffman9434]

Tell that to the Sith

[@thecrb1579]

I heard the Dialogue noise when I read this

[@jozinek876]

Yeh, that security droid is cute :3

[@aidantumlinson8504]

I'll never forget this game... It's taught me so much.

[@JAMARI645]

Ruiner 415 same this game changed my life

[@jh-ij4by]

how so ?

[@aidantumlinson8504]

jh 64 it’s kind of hard to say. I guess a few messages from the story are that even the best people make mistakes in life (revan and Bastilla). The whole light side/dark side thing helps remind me to do what’s right. And the Music especially just helps put me at peace after a stressful day of work. Which I think we can all agree on here.

[@jh-ij4by]

@@aidantumlinson8504 i listen to these swtor games music with rain only. I think the dark side is a survive mode you want power, gain strength and cheat death it's actually what i am, a peasant in survive mode gain enough money all day.

[@xinzlo]

@@aidantumlinson8504 Yeah I never went full light side or dark side for that reason. I felt that in this game being a Grey Jedi was the most morally correct, and important way. KOTOR games and Mass Effect series taught me a lot about like how there isn't always a right decision. Or it's not clear at least.

[@compmanio36]

Older games like KOTOR put a lot more effort into the background ambiance, and despite the dated graphics and gameplay in some respects, pulled off a greater immersion than the newer games with empty feeling worlds you run around in.

[@autumrose1]

+compmanio36 agreed. I played SWG and KOTOR1/2 and now SWTOR. I never realized how much i missed the music and now it's so "zzzz" in SWTOR, it's kinda off putting

[@compmanio36]

I reinstalled it the other day, played for 2 seconds....and immediately regretted wasting the hour to reinstall it. It has some really good story telling, if you get that far...hard part is getting past the ridiculous amount of grinding to get there. KOTOR, I just got the story because it was the main part of the game, not "SUBSCRIBE NOW TO PLAY THE STORY FASTER! SUBSCRIBE NOW TO GET ENOUGH ACTUAL INVENTORY TO PLAY THE GAME PROPERLY! SUBSCRIBE! PAY US MONEY!" Same with Battlefront, or so I hear. I won't be buying that either.

[@autumrose1]

compmanio36 SWTOR is brutal when it comes to the strong-arming people to sub. It could have been so much more but EA is the devil that make the money it knows it can make off a Star Wars fans

[@aaeriam]

+compmanio36 You know, as a younger kid I never really paid much attention to the ambiance but I was always immersed (especially with the kotor games). Nowadays I have a harder time getting immersed in games for reasons still mostly unknown to me and that's probably why I go back to games like KotoR fairly often, to capture that magical spark again. Looking back, it's crazy how well they did it in the kotor games with less than most triple A games today have.

[@compmanio36]

***** Yeah, the lack of inventory space was the biggest killer.....constantly having to run back to vendors to sell your shit gets old.

[@argive25]

Always caught myself just staring out into that endless ocean, listening to this when I played KOTOR...so relaxing...

[@dinka3668]

Omg ikr

[@legomaker10]

god yes...

[@wheels4lyfe]

I always choose either here or Dantooine to talk to my team mates.

[@pennstatefan2467]

This is the sickest game just great memories when playing it and the story line is sick everyone show some love for this game

[@atoningful]

@RoGs580 But dont forget, it has the most creepiest place too, which is Hrakert Station

[@aaeriam]

This is legitimately my most listened to song whenever I feel stressed out while working. Unsurprisingly, it also makes me want to play KotoR again whenever I listen to it.

[@H0wlrunn3r]

+Mathew McLaughlin I totaly hear you. Manaan and Nar Shaddaa were the closest we ever got to a Coruscant style land scape in KoToR. I really wish we could have gotten to go back to Coruscant as the Exile or something in the final game instead of just that one cut-scene which evolved into a mod.

[@vithral8834]

I totally agree. I hope this soundtrack is never forgotten about. This and the Dantooine OST send so many tingles down my spine. It's like I have ALS when listening to them. Even after JUST completing a playthrough not even a week ago. Everything about this soundtrack is just beautiful and relaxing. From the stormy background ambiance, to the calm orchestra, to the gentle wind rushing...It's just perfect. I love Manaan.

[@SvenQ45]

Manaan is like Coruscant? Why?

[@wilhufftarkin8543]

Ikr? Taris is more like Coruscant.

[@SvenQ45]

Carolus Magnus Yes.

[@huntergraham702]

I'm only 16, so I didn't get to experience this piece of art when it first came out, but I stumbled upon it at a Thrift store for $2 around a year ago. I played it and it quickly became a favorite game of mine! I enjoyed most everything about the game, every planet, piece of music, the story, and Manaan is probably my favorite planet.

[@AsianTheDomination]

Hunter Graham I'm also 16, and I grew up playing this game with my dad in grade school. He always helped me with the puzzles and the dialogue in the game. I would have never gotten past the rancor if it weren't for him. Now I make it a tradition to play through both of these games every summer.

[@SvenQ45]

@Caleb Judge I´m no a SW fan nor a RPG gamer. Normally only adventure games. And I bought KOTOR 1 one year after release because I heard so much about it and like for you it really was worth buying it! :)

[@foshizz6704]

i'm 16 too and my brother always played this back when it came out i remember when i was like 4 i couldn't even get past the rancor.

[@rawsupershow123]

Jurassic King i'm 16. played this game last year. Greatest game i've ever played.

[@provokingperch3825]

I had similar difficulties with the rancor, although I was 8 at the time.

[@julianmartinez3188]

This game inspired me to learn every language on Earth, because in the game you innately knew every alien language. Knowing that this game will always be a part of my life and in my heart is enough for me to accept that I am growing up, and that the time this game entered my life is becoming further away. I will miss the years, and my adolescence (I am turning 20 next month) but I will always carry this game's essence in my heart. Those words are not enough.

[@BattlestarGenesis]

Manaan. One name that evokes all kinds of emotions and memories. This game... this game was amazing.

[@H0wlrunn3r]

It truly is a classic!

[@MrDrvideogame]

1:12 the most passive head-on collision I've ever seen.

[@thebiggerfish9526]

Man this game is legendary. The first time I played it, I was just so invested in everything, whether it be the environments, the characters, the music, the story, etc. Most games take multiple runs to reach that point, but not this one. The memories from this game have stayed with me ever since.

[@artemisarrow179]

Childhood, innocence :,)

[@PeterParker-yg6fc]

it makes me so sad it's gone

[@HFG98]

Right played this game since i was 7 . Im about to turn 22 this year 🥺

[@nordicfatcheese]

This on your monitor at a beach house (on the beach preferably) with the window open and some homework = I am now productivity incarnate.

[@H0wlrunn3r]

That pretty much sums up what I intended this video for ha ha hope you enjoy

[@tw5035]

+nordic fatcheese Amen to that.

[@perpetualwisdom9236]

only a beautifully crafted art like this can cause such nostalgia, everything was much simpler back then. thanks for taking me back, subscribed.

[@gavinpatmore5548]

For some reason I'm having flashbacks of going through my inventory, and speed-running down grey-plated corridors...

[@TatsuraJ]

Ahh, I remember first playing this back in high school...always loved the music on Manaan.

[@TatsuraJ]

Well, I loved them all to be honest. Manaan, Kashyyyk (sp?), Dantooine, Taris, I could never place my finger on which score I loved more.

[@tedigrizli]

***** I am in love with Dantooine theme! :3

[@miguelzino598]

Food for fishy people, that's you. Can't get to me in here fishy, I'm safe behind these walls.

[@WilliamFord972]

Kukko Naama OMG the first time I heard that, I think I laughed for 15 minutes.

[@Erduk]

I lightsabered that guy right out of that stupid locker. Serves him right.

[@jimhuffman9434]

Your twelve centimeter thick locker won't stop me

[@asheer9114]

"if you run you can be fast food." - locker guy. ^_^

[@SmithDigital1]

manaan is like paradise. i always dreamed of living there

[@legomaker10]

You and me both friend, you and me both.

[@Dizzybubbles]

Mandalore the Indomitable You can make that 3 of us!

[@deathdock3760]

Four, actually.

[@DarthRevan1011]

I wish they would've let us explore more of Manaan. It looked so big and we only got to explore I'd say 5% of it.

[@rigbyfrost7188]

Obey the laws of manan human

[@user-hi4sm3ig5j]

Sorry, I don't understand fish.

[@blowsmokeable]

you will let me pass free

[@cassius83ck61]

Still the best game made to date. Effortlessly captured the star wars universe and in ways better than the movies.

[@iceromebuzz781]

Honestly, no other game has touched my soul like KOTOR, and I beat this game close to 15 years ago! I'm convinced this is the best game I personally will ever play.

[@stellarcubicbeam7760]

Dark Forces 2

[@tomgoulding_]

This was always my favorite planet. In both games. This track is one of the reasons why

[@tomgoulding_]

+Tom Goulding also, those Sith soldiers knocking into each other at 7:33 gets me every time. I'll be doing homework and then I look up and see them bump each other and then just giggle to myself then go back to writing.

i can sit here and chill whilst remembering the good old times. Priceless.

[@hankbank5172]

Beautiful sonata of candor and enlightenment yet invokes thoughts of tranquility, stability & harmony...

[@H0wlrunn3r]

Well said. Knights of the old Republic is one of the best games ever made in ky opinion. But not simply from the perspective of being a "good video game". The reason I think it captured so many people's imaginations over the years is because I believe it breached the barrier of what a game is and what a peice of art is. After a certain point you, admire it as a piece of art. Wether it's music, visuals, story or otherwise.

[@Nzg41]

+H0wlrunn3r for me its that it, and its squel, delved deeper into the philosphys of the jedi and the sith...epxlianing just what thouse coides ment...and the possiblity that the jedi didnt fall on their own...that maybe it was the teachings themselfs that were falwed

[@MegaVice10]

Thank you for this, this game was my childhood but some months back this track in particular got me through a really stressful part of my final year at university, doing nothing but back to back essays for nearly two months, listening to this while working kept me from going insane lol.

[@H0wlrunn3r]

I hear you! This music got me through college aswell :)

[@SneakCritical]

I love working to this music. Takes me into a flow state.

[@eamonndeane587]

Manaan and Koriban were my favourite worlds in the First Knights of The Old Republic game.

[@itstheKT]

Seriously, thank you for this.

[@H0wlrunn3r]

No problem man :)

[@Deadpoolfan2026]

There just something about this planet that makes me often stop my play through and gaze out into the endless sea outside drifting away into a slumber letting the force guide me as I stare out into that bright sky with the Ocean below

[@mikehand3603]

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic was a game to remember. It was special in my hearts as it spoke true words of hope. kotOR had a beautiful story. It wasn't just a game that was fun to play, it was more. I could not tell you how many times I had played this over and over again to get it seeped into my head. Games now lack in diversity. They're too explicit and lack moments like these. kotOR was my inspiration and still is. You have brought back memories, as well as changed my life indirectly. This song, although it has no lyrics will speak indirectly to me with words of wisdom. kotOR will always be in my memory as a game to cherish. Thank you. Words can not explain how gracious I am for you posting this video. I hope to see more videos like these, and more videos from you. You have my gratitude. I will support your channel 100% of the way.

[@AbraGaming]

Well said :D

[@mikehand3603]

Abrahham Helix kotOR will always be a memory in our hearts! :)

[@artemisarrow179]

Beautiful :,,,)

[@mikehand3603]

Artemis Arrow No other way to explain kotOR

[@Kevdo92]

Well spoken. I applaud you, and agree: this game was one of the best.

[@rafaelsocarras1128]

This makes me so nostalgic, brings me back to my childhood when I played this game every day.

[@Arborpress]

God.. even when I tried to play this game over again, I'll never get back that feeling of wonder and excitement I had when I first played this at 14yrs old.

[@vexriki4265]

2019 anyone? This game, this planet, means so much to me. My childhood, my home away from home. This was my dads favorite game, rip dad I love you man.

[@FocusReborn44]

What I'd give to have a ship like the Ebon Hawk flying around the galaxy. Ahh...

[@mikiroony]

Not in the same galaxy, but that's why games like Elite:Dangerous or No Man's Sky are a big thing :)

[@soku890]

Star Citizen and Elite:Dangerous. Let's forget about No Man's Sky

[@PeterParker-yg6fc]

those games are shit

[@darthrevan27]

What I'd give to get Kotor 3 😍

[@thetwopointslow]

.... to City

[@TheNikoBellic2008]

One thing I have done is kept a save file just before collecting the last Star Map so I can freely travel the galaxy at my own will with my companions.Sure,you don't have Bastila with you,but certainly allows me to enjoy the galaxy.

[@docdeezer]

You're an angel op

[@Matt-cz6ti]

I always felt that Manaan would be a really great place to vacation

[@aries144]

The first time I played this game I found myself drawn to the balcony seen in the background here. I looked out at that endless ocean and what I imagined took my breath away. There's a place on the southern coast of the US where you can stand at the tip of a peninsula, stare straight out into the Gulf, and see nothing but water. It is so rare to find a real place that compares with pure imagination.

[@EmperorSteel]

This is what I truly love about this game: The relaxing music, the story, and the characters. Revan's story was well done. Even if EA changed Revan in SWTOR, Revan will definitely be remembered by the long time star wars fans as a saviour and a conqueror who controlled both the light and dark sides of the force.

[@Kaweebo]

I love the idea of just watching the people walk by while the song plays.

[@legomaker10]

This is the kind of soundtrack that you HAVE to listen to with the ambient background noise, or else you're not getting the full experience. It makes you feel like you're there, watching the calm ocean or watching ships come and go. God I love this game, never gets old just keeps getting more and more awesome.

[@cbfdxbxsb]

Mandalore the Indomitable Totally agree. Music isn't just instrumentation, it's organised sound. The ambient noises add so much to the music. The instrumentation is great, but those passing ships, the fountains, the motors, it's all so lulling.

[@Khainite]

I can't thank you enough for making these Kotor videos. I used to stand around Manaan and listen to the ambiance while I played various online games with my friends on my laptop, too many summers ago. This brings back painfully wonderful memories.

[@H0wlrunn3r]

Hey man It's my pleasure! I will try to make some more soon! I actually skipped ahead to make the Manaan Auto City video for my Little brother haha He made a special request :)

[@Poundage2794]

I will forever cherish my copy of KotOR for the original Xbox. The nostalgia it brings back is stronger than from anything else from my childhood. How I loved this game! Now I just need the PC version...

[@aidantumlinson8504]

Of version runs a lot smoother but I too played this on Xbox and it was an awsome experiencece

[@aidantumlinson8504]

PC version*

[@Setsuna012]

You can buy both of the games on STEAM and the second game has mods on the steam workshop that add the cut content for it.

[@pikaproductions5608]

Knights Of The Old Republic, Baulder's Gate Dark Alliance II, and Pirates Legend of the Black Cat are my favorite video games of all time! Never shall I forget my first time beating them :)

[@dylanogden95]

Manaan's Ahto City music is probably the most beautiful in the game. So peaceful and it almost has a home feeling about it.

[@CanonGames]

Such a calming theme.

[@ttgmog7040]

Probably my favourite place in the entire game. Calm blue skies, the distance roar of the ocean waves and subtle rumble of passing space-craft.

[@fubi0688]

Such an incredible job of capturing the essence and mood of these worlds. KOTOR was a gem.

[@deathdock3760]

It's like the KOTOR version of Kamino... And, you know I love Kamino.

[@elliott1945]

So many memories, this series deserves a third entry, at this point I’d wait 10 more years just to know that this was happening. This kind of quality has never been matched since, If i do say so myself.

[@Zajin13]

I loved this planet, i really did. I was blown away from Manaan playing the neutral card all the way, forcing Republic and Siths to live there without cutting eachothers throats openly. Too bad i fucked up their Kolto because i was too dump to get the machine going again, leaving me no other option than poisoning this bloody shark.

[@mikevitti772]

+Zajin13 Story of my life.

[@JAMARI645]

This literally makes me want to cry and gave me so many goosebumps from the memories

[@NyakiStryker]

Oh the feels of just hearing the song, brings back memories of growing up while playing these games and making my day better.

[@serennothesith1099]

This will NEVER not hit me right in the nostalgia feels of playing this when it first came out after a long day at school as a teen, was it really that long ago...damn I'm getting old. 😊

[@TheHedgeWizard]

Thanks for uploading all of these ambient tracks! They bring back a lot of memories. I was in the 3rd grade back in 2003 when I stumbled upon this game... The back cover said you could craft your own lightsaber, and that was enough for me! I didn't know at the time that I was buying what would be my favorite game ever. I hope you'll continuing posting these videos.

[@levitan71]

got a craving for fish&chips now for some reason.

[@ajcampbell451]

It feels just so good hearing the sound of the wind and the water along with the music, makes you want to fall asleep. This is definitely a good escape.

[@dontwrite9s4ever86]

what a peaceful and wonderful place to be at the end of life or any stage in life.

[@juliancumbia6443]

this is the kind of soundtrack that helps me sleep at night, its calm, relaxing and brings me a sense of peace.... i love the endless oceans of manaan

[@oIIDAM]

I cam here to listen to this as the PS4 dashboard music really reminded me of it, pretty similar pieces !! First played this back in 07' !!

[@DennyBerry]

On this beautiful theme can you relax. Kotor was and still is the best game !

[@anthonyvalli8291]

I listen to this as I study psychology and it helps a ton

[@jeff-xm6gq]

This game was so good :( When i played it for the first time i was a child and now im near 30 :).God ,please send me back to my childhood just for a one day :))

[@wheelsnipecelly98]

last time I played this game... jesus im getting old

[@tyonamin]

Good thing they put the music on SWTOR as well.

[@eXquisiteGaming110]

kotor manaan > swtor manaan

[@BlademasterColossus]

Buddy you just got a sub for your videos. Knights of the Old Republic is my favourite game in all of my collections. Nothing will ever come close. The soundtrack was beautiful, the story was amazing, I connected with the characters as a kid. I spent hundreds of hours exploring the game from corner to corner, I made every conceivable character, this game holds such a special place in my heart. I want to download these ambient soundtracks just to listen to in real life. Thank you for giving me the greatest nostalgiagasm in history :')

[@eXquisiteGaming110]

Easily the best planet in the game, the ominous to it is just so captivating!!

[@lil_bear]

Pure Tranquility ^.^

[@Straswa]

Beautiful ambiance. Thanks for upload!

[@darknice10]

Always thought the Geoharandan guy you could meet for missions was cool.

[@PeterParker-yg6fc]

this is making me so sad....i miss this reality so much...the relationships i made in this game mean more to me than almost any real ones i have

[@harloxzz1990]

lol me too

[@darknice10]

I really like Star Music and I even like this specific track as well. Something about this music is peaceful and depressing at the same time. I guess it's something about there being nothing but water on the planet. It's nice to the eyes, but the planet gives me an unshakable dark feeling for some reason.

[@tiaanolivier3033]

My Favorite Side Quest in this game has to be the Sunry murder trial. It really asks you a great moral question. Do you try to prove he is innocent (although he isn't) and ensure that the Republic won't face any Kolto restrictions. Or do you hand him over as he did murder the Sith Lady and is guilty but at the risk of the Republic facing Kolto Restrictions? It was also nice to see Jolee's reaction to each outcome. (Unless of course it was your first play through... Then no matter what Sunry is guilty as you try to defend him with no evidence to support you)

[@Dizzybubbles]

Food for fishy, food for fishy. That's you.

[@Xeon897]

Come to think of it-- This will apply perfectly to the upcoming winter :S)

[@mtlhd777]

on SWTOR this is where my stronghold is, no brainer once that released - love this planet

[@WilliamFord972]

There was a Ravel piece I heard that reminded me of Manaan music in KotOR

[@prod_yasha]

the nostalgia GOD DAMN

[@FoFoxhound]

Thank you for this video.

[@akula625]

there are a few of these but I like your better it also gives you something to see

[@talkaboutwacky]

This is what I imagine Heaven is like. Including the elevator music on repeat. For eternity. No end. No end? I have to listen to this song on repeat for eternity? Wait……..where am I?

[@SvenQ45]

So great and tranquil. When you make a non music video of it you must do it with the sight of the ocean. :)

[@t_rizz]

Still the best game I've ever played!

[@thomasf.1014]

Looks and sounds like a place where I wanna be 😁👍

[@Shadowbusa117]

Dude this is awsome! Someone with good taste finnaly. Love it Keep it up👍😎

[@Bokune9999]

i love this song… its the most beautiful song in the game… though the ironic part is that this is the only song that doesn't sound like it came from a star wars movie or something… manaan is my favorite planet… its so serene… and its fill with the CUTEST fish people (did i mention i like fish???)… this was the last planet i went to on my first file and when i came here i was like "WHERE HAS THIS PLANET BEEN ALL MY LIFE!?!?"… then i had to do a dark side file… saved this planet for last since i had to do terrible things to the selkath like poison their ocean… *shudder*… i couldn't do anything bad to the selkath… but for dark sides sake i had to… what has become of my life???

[@mattemattics5667]

Best. Track. Ever.

[@coolboyz2012]

I remember buying this game along with other Xbox games back in 2008 from craigslist (i got a deal for buying the system along with 10 other games). I would only play boxing and racing games until i got bored of it. So i decided to switch it to star wars. And my god after playing this game it became my favorite. I played this game and finishing the story like a million times. After graduating elementary i had to dump my games and the system itself because it became old and started causing problems. However, after finishing Grade 11 (after frickin 3-4 years) i remembered this melody somewhere. So i ended up buying this game on Steam. I do not regret paying $11. because ALL MY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES LIE IN THIS MELODY. Good times :D. I hope to god that this game has Kotor 3, and not as disappointing as Kotor 2. Kotor 1 rules.

[@dtims3262]

The Finland of KOTOR.

[@carcasses5131]

This is still my favourite Jeremy Soule tune

[@AirbenderHawk]

Great music for HW :)

[@dennizenx]

needs 10 hour loop reeeeeee-mix :) 4.5/5

[@user-hi4sm3ig5j]

Well this is nice.

[@larry-three8225]

Republic world's always seem nicer than Imperial world's.

[@user-hi4sm3ig5j]

Darth Malak was most displeased when he heard you hated his planets.

[@ArthrUK]

great vid :)

[@trevorhensley3185]

Could put me to sleep.

[@starkiller6856]

I still hate malak for bombarding this beautiful planet!

[@pytiam]

I can't be the only one who thinks Ahto city feels like Singapore. 1. Island city. 2. Exist to trade. 3. Supposedly neutral to world politics but actually favours the side that brings in more money. 4. Strict laws. 5. Clean streets.

[@Bluegreen123]

Carry on , human
