Remembering The Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic Games

There is no game greater than these two as far as I am concerned. A masterclass in Star Wars storytelling accompanied by incredible role-playing systems that defined who I am as a gamer. It's time to finally reflect on Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic.

From what I’ve dug up, that Selkath on the cover of Kotor is Shasa the force sensitive selkath that was lured into the sith base. I’ve read that she was supposed to be the party member for a dark side character since saving Juhani is a light side choice. This concept is similar to Kotor 2 with Mira being for light side & Hanharr for dark side.

[@cthulhu888]

It'd be cool if for the remake they resurrected her to be a more fleshed out character or even a party member somehow ^^

[@retrorebound8887]

I would love to see this character appear in the remake too, but this is great info on that character. Thanks for digging it up!

Kotor 1 is just classic star wars, a battle between an empire and republic, a special chosen one, a big twist. Its all there its just set a few thousand years before a long time ago. Kotor 2 gets a lot of criticism because it was rushed through developement and had content missing and certain things could have been fleshed out more. However, it was a very unique and interesting game to me storyline wise. While Kotor 1 was classic star wars in its story, Kotor 2 decided to do something different and instead of giving the same kind of storyline, it sort of challenged the player philosophically. Kreia is one of the most captivating and interesting villains I've seen in a video game and I have to admit, I had to play the game several times to really understand what she was trying to do, because she is anything but a simple character. She essentially is doing everything that she is doing not because she is evil per se, but because she hates the force itself. Its kind of hard to argue with her rational to do so. She wants to destroy the force because as a jedi historian and able to look at the vast history of the wars fought between the light and dark side, she came up with the understanding that the force itself was at the center of all the tragedy, death and destruction and she saw destroying the force (or attempting to at least) was the only way to end it. Even when I was playing the game I questioned myself as to whether she had a good point. I also found myself comparing the Jedi exiles decision of activating the mass shadow generator and destroying Malachore V to the decision to drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to end world war 2. It is a much darker game but its also a more challenging game that trys to get the player to have a broader perspective instead of looking at things in terms of black and white, good and evil. At the time I've never played a game that managed to do that which is why it really does have a special place in my heart.

Couture 2 is what I started with, so swapping back down to couture one, the less options when it comes to gameplay and feats and modding weapons and things like that was very strange to me and the UI in general feel very different. But couture one is a very much a classic feeling Star Wars story, very generic but with enough nuance in it that it's not terrible.

Games made back when Bioware and Obsidian were at their peak. What a great time for Star Wars gaming, it's a tragedy that we didn't get a KOTOR 3 from Obsidian, Chris Avellone had some awesome ideas that never saw the light of day. Ive played through KOTOR 1 and 2 at least a half dozen times each and still thoroughly enjoy my experience each time. My top two favorite games of all time.

[@vindifference]

Funny thing about the combat system. I too wasn't a huge fan of it Because in my initial playthroughs. It was serviceable, but I don't think it ever clicked until I played another series of games; the FFXIII games. When I approached battle strategy and unit building with roles combinations and specialties in mind, the synergy was just so much more visible. It no longer felt like I was relying on the strongest jedi in the party, and everyone had a very important function. And that's been something I carried forward ever since because of how fun it felt. Like that image Obsidian had where Visas carried two blaster pistols? Totally plausible and feels like something I'd do nowadays. Specifically because I see my companions, their roles, their stats and their specialties in a different way. Harkening back to the XIII games, if my Visas is functioning as a caster or debuffer she doesn't need sabers, the ones who do are the tanks, and someone else could be on buff duty since they have worse wisdom stats and can't make good dice rolls. It's so good building a party rather than just one master speed guardian like I'd done for ages.

[@EduFirenze]

The hype back then was immense, I remember when I finally got my copy I knew I was in for something special

[@whatadrag1086]

If you are going to play KOTOR 2, play it on PC and look into mods, specifically the Sith Lords Restoration Mod that puts in tons of important cut content and features. Even if mechanically the gameplay isn't the best, the main thing that holds up is the story and characters. What most people assume is that the combat is boring and not fun to look at, but that's because it's a DnD style dice roll style turn based thing, when they expect the Force Unleashed. The combat is fun when you build your characters and give them perks so that you roll high and do a lot of damage, one-shotting almost everything by the end of KOTOR 2. You have to use a bit of your imagination (we had to do that in old games) of what your character WOULD be doing rather than exactly what you're seeing on-screen because it's an old game and animations can be janky. If that's not your style then that's cool, but it does hold up if you have patience to read and take your time when you play western RPGs like this. I think KOTOR 2 is the best Star Wars game story that's ever been told, due to it's complete uniqueness to every other story done in this universe. It breaks down the Force in a way that's never been done before, and gives you characters and companions that have extreme depth and allure: Atton, HK, T3, G0T0, Mandalore, seriously all of the game's companions have insane backstories, some important to piece together what happened to Revan. Also shameless plug to go watch the Philosophy of Kreia video, it's a fantastically well made video and sums up what many miss about this heavily under-rated game.

[@Riflery]

I personally enjoyed KotOR 2 more than 1. I like that it has such a complex story, and gives you the point of view from the outside of the destruction the Jedi and sith bring. Not to mention Kreias philosophy and the layers of secrets on her backstory as a Jedi with the handmaiden. The companions weren't as good imo, but they did have more complexity. The story requires a novel to fully comprehend, and even a decade after first playing it, I'm still unraveling secrets and hidden lore in the diologue.

[@yhedgehogsfly]

Hey Matty, I've watched your main channel for years and always heard you praise KOTOR. I bought it years ago but never played it because I really wasn't into the combat, however, after watching this video, I recently played it for the first time I gotta say, I'm in love with it! You made me a huge fan of this game, so I gotta thank you for that! Can't wait for the remake!

[@StarWarsGeek_03]

I completely understand why people don’t like the combat systems in the KOTOR games, but as for me I am one of the very few people who not only enjoys the combat but that actually really loves the combat. Even though I like the story of the first game better I think the second game is absolutely more fun to play even without the mods and everything else, just the amount of power you can have with the dark side in the game is just so much fun, and it is fine just absolutely wrecking everyone with force storm lightning and the force life drain power as well. Also MrMattyPlays I am glad that I found a KZbin content creator that loves these games as much as I do, and thanks for sharing this love letter video of the KOTOR games and I always enjoy hearing you talk about them.

[@deacon7519]

I guess I'll give it another shot. I'm a huge Star wars fan but I guess this series missed me when I was a kid. I got it on Nintendo switch and I couldn't get past the first hour or so because of the combat being so clunky. But when you explain the story a little more in depth it makes me want to try it again.

[@quezcatol]

Here in Sweden I literally got home a DVD with a recording of the games shown at E3 back in the day from a gaming magazine- to watch on my xbox and one of the game was KOTOR which made me pre-order it - it was showing of the water planet when you go under water. lol. Yes internet existed back then but no youtube so recording on disc was the best choice for real and good quality.

[@firstswordcorvus7368]

I'm currently in my first playthrough of KOTOR 1, I'm playing it on the Switch. My family was poor growing up and I honestly didn't know that these 2 games existed growing up. So I was so happy to see a port on the Switch for sale. And I'm hyped for the remake, I'm a huge Star Wars fan, though I didn't like the recent trilogy movies. Those movies lacked the emotional impact the older movies have. Anyway, I have Star Wars towels, shirts, posters, and I even found a Star Wars Monopoly game just to name a few things in my collection. I'm also a huge Lord of the Rings fan, the Monopoly game I found in its theme is easily the shortest Monopoly game in existence that I know of at least. There's the One Ring piece that moves a space every time someone rolls the eye of Sauron on 1 of the die and it's gg when it completes 1 round. I'm enjoying KOTOR 1, though having a hard time sticking to it as I have other great games to play. And not worried about spoilers, I know I wish I didn't spoil myself, but I was really lost on how to build my character so they didn't feel so weak. Like for awhile I didn't understand why my character was dying in 2 or 3 hits despite wearing decent armor 😂, so I looked up build guides which thx to KZbin also showed video titles and thumbnails that easily spoiled the game for me without even watching them. Sometimes I forget why I hate KZbin when I search build guides. I do play other games for awhile to forget the spoilers which helps

[@KeepSkatin209]

I just started playing this game for the first time since around the games release. Downloaded a ton of shaders and was able to make the game 1080p, and it is still so much fun.

[@jedirayden]

So much so that you named your dog Revan... So much so that I often choose Revan as my character name in RPGs, at least on my first playthrough. Also, I was in my early 20s when this game came out, and as a lifetime fan of RPGs and Star Wars, I'd always wanted this sort of game, and it's the reason I bought an Xbox. I think the first two or three years I had an Xbox, I only had this game and the sequel.

I remember my grandpa bought the original Xbox for me and my Dad as a surprise. It came with the dual game Jet Set Radio (another contender for my favorite game of all time) and Sega GT Racing, and he also bought Kotor. I was pretty young, like 5-6 years old, so I barely knew how to play it. I would just watch my Dad and learn from him. He used to get mad at me cuz I skipped the dialogue so often at the time lol. Can't believe they're remaking it, I'm so so excited. I'll also never forget when my Dad got Kotor 2 for me and then HE ended up playing it all night while I watched lol. I prefer Kotor 2 now tbh.

[@nicdubonnet]

I think Obsidian and Chris Avellone were setting up something really interesting with Kotor 2 but it was kinda thrown away for a more familiar formula in Swtor and the book.

Matty As a tried-and-true Star Wars nerd I just want to throw a bit of lore out there for you in case you are unaware even though what I'm about to say is actually considered legends now but 4000BBY which is the timeframe for KoToR its actually not the start of the Old Republic the Old Republic was founded 25,000 BBY after what was known as the Great Hyperspace War it was also during this time that we would see the rise of the first Jedi and Sith. That said I would love to see Star Wars games cover that time period since there isn't a single game that covers that, in fact i think the only source for that time would be in the comics I'm not even sure if there are books about that time.

[@josephwallace1501]

Yes! I would love to see them cover the Hyperspace War in a Game or heck even in animated form like the 2nd Clone Wars TV show. If they also covered the Dawn of the Jedi story the Force Wars vs the Rakatan Infinite Empire I think that would perfectly piece into KoToR and expand more into the lore of Star Wars

For anyone who has never tried, if you start your character and never level them up, but just play as Carth instead, you can get through the beginning with just him and Zalbaar doing everything, though it can be annoying in a couple of spots. Then, when you get to Dantooine, when you become a jedi class and they give you a free level, all of your retroactive levels are applied to the jedi class instead, so you can start as like a level 1 soldier and a level 7 or 8 guardian.

KotOR 2 is probably my favorite game of all time. KoTOR 1 is good. but the reason I like it less is that you start the game without force powers, it doesn't feel like a star wars game until you reach Dantooine. in KotOR 2 hoever, you get force power at level 2. number 3 on my list has to be Jedi Knight - Jedi Academy, it's also lots of fun. it took me a long while to figure out, several playthroughs actually, but the jedi guardian has force jump, at least in KotOR 2. which means if you select an enemy that is far away and select the base attack (not flurry or critical strike or power attack) you leap over to your target and hit them and it does a fair amount of damage.

I actually bought it in accident and was upset. My best friend had the game Star Wars 3 revenge of the sith(another underrated og xbox game). Anyways went into GameStop as a kid one of the rare times I was aloud to get a new game. Accidentally bought kotor instead. Went home with it booted it up, was angry I got the wrong game. But I kept playing because it was all I going to have for a long time. And man, best mistake I ever made. Replayed more times than I can count. Seeking out everything the game had to offer. Feeling every emotional moment on both sides. No game has ever given me the same feelings as kotor did when I was a child.

He also sneaks Bastila's theme into a track in Skyrim(I don't remember which one exactly but I watched a video about it and compared and it's absolutely there). Amazing game, I love it.

I loved the fact that it felt like it was way before the movies, with the sith and republic armors looking different to movies. It did wonders for immersion and it really suggested that anything could happen because the games were far removed from the movies. They went and ruined it in TOR mmo for storm trooper lookalikes etc.

I loved the prequels too

Is there any news of them releasing KOTOR 2 on switch or any other console? Im so upset they didn't release 1&2 at the same time lol also...why aren't they on other consoles? (besides PC ofcourse)

[@martinbuckman5686]

Funny, i replay kotor 2 almost every year and kotor 1 i haven't played in probably 10 years although i own both on PC. As far as the lightsaber issue in kotor 2 there is a mod on steam that gives you a short bladed lightsaber on peragus, and my understanding is that giving you this triggers the game to think you have done the quest to make one and you will now periodically get a fully built saber as random loot after peragus. Also it does not remove the quest to build one, instead replacing all the parts you find with sabers already built.

KotOR II is undervalued and largely ignored for the masterpiece it is. Nothing could teach ethics and philosophy to my then teenage mind - nothing comes close. Recommended for teenagers and anybody who was raised in a religious household.

[@GeneralSmitty91]

Ah yes. KOTOR. An elegant game of a more civilized age. Before the corporate greed times, before microtransactions.

[@halflife103]

ive been replaying it, but tweaking characters. Changing companion classes n stuff

[@raymond4189]

How can you say this is your favorite game of all time and pronounce main characters names incorrectly when they're pronounced for you throughout the game, disrespectful.

[@superbad8008]

Only problem I have while playing through this game is the stealth system. I was spoiled by stealth games I’d previously played, because being sneaky in this game is a chore and a half.

[@edwardbrennan3963]

Isn’t the Jedi story in swtor basically KOTOR 3?

[@SmirGel]

Are you going to make video about Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast + academy?

[@KhaosKontroller]

Lol I think you need a new thumbnail face. You look so disappointed.

[@edocursedmark2693]

Is this remake goin to be elden ring for star wars?????!🥺🥺 Id be too happy if not we need that

[@ttwinsturbo]

I love kotor game too, i end this game several times on pc and several times on xbox series x and i can’t wait for remake on ps5 !

[@justanotheryoutuber3532]

Where is star wars survival horror game being the last Jedi hunted down by dark side vampiric characters and beast

[@Tattletale-Delta]

I miss KOTOR 1/2 until I play them. Then I go back to SWTOR lol.

[@kimballcrocferd9988]

what version of republic commander was that in the large silvery box ?

[@Vicarious2000]

At first I thought you said serpent city instead of circuit city and thought holy shit what kinda epic stores do they got in New York
