Kristy Kistic Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Ok maybe its just me, but I was wondering if anyone else had the same experiences I did when playing KotOR for the first time. 1) I got highly upset when I lost Bastila on the Leviathan. (I thought she was gone for good.) 2) I almost cried (well I did a little) when Malak actually gave his short speech and died. 3) I felt amazingly guilty when I went back to my temple save game and played it out as dark side (Like I was doing something wrong.) 4) I did cry when Vandar looked at Dodonna and said "No! Bastila is using her battle meditation against us! There were other instances that I don't remember offhand and playing through several times later some things still get to me. Maybe I'm just a lil too emotional? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkonium Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Well, that's a well made game for you. Remember the shock players get when they realise that they are Revan? I even worried about Trask and hoped he'd make it out alive somehow. But then I figure out that he's dead so I always kill Bandon to avenge him, despite my lightsidedness.

90SK Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 I got pretty guilty with my DS exploration too. But for the most part, it was more shade of emotion, rather than all out. With TSL, it was more pronounced (but I pretty much lived that game for 4 solid days, where I put of a tent blanket around my PC to keep out all light save my monitor, and effectively depriving myself of all sensory input save given by TSL. Needless to say, I had interesting dreams during those 4 nights). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Maker Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Well, If K1 was food I think it would be safe to say the first week I played it I was craving it 24/7 I got very emotional (not crying, more the emotion the devs want you to feel) at the end in both LS an DS situations, though I liked the feeling the DS ending gave me more I also really got "involved" with the game so-to-speak at the final battles on The Star Forge with Vandar, and Malak, and Bastila, etc. The cutscenes made me feel like I was really in one of the films with my PC fighting the forces of evil, (or causing it). TSL never really did anything for me, the characters I never really got to know well and the really strong parts of the game I was only somewhat convinced. I did like the parts where you saw some of your old party members, like Carth and Bastila but the rest of the game never really got to me the way K1 did.

TreeX Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 true that, well made game at all. only point I got upset in was when Bastila got taken by Malak. well maybe the Revan revealling part as well... for a while there I thought Bastila was Revan XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkExcalibur42 Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 I felt like crap when my persuade failed and i had to kill bastila on the star forge. And i have still never managed to play through as dark side, I feel like too much of an ass. Every time i start i either turn to the light or quit.

Aurora Merlow Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Don't worry i was a bit emotional too. Seeing Bastila sacrifice herself to save me on the Leviathan then viewing the clip of her being tortured really got to me. And when we see her on the Unkown world and she reveals that she's fallen, i felt crushed, like it was my fault. But when you finally turn her back its very uplifting. I think that the fact it draws so many emotions from you is a sign of a great game and great story, something i thought was lacking in TLS just didn't feel the same about any of the characters.

deathdisco Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 3) I felt amazingly guilty when I went back to my temple save game and played it out as dark side (Like I was doing something wrong.) Yeah, The first time I did that I felt awful. Especially after I invested so much emotionally in those characters after completing their side-quests.

StaffSaberist Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 I played DS once. Never got past Dantooine. One, it was too much, having to kill those innocents. I got a little emotional on Taris ("you're robbing me?" from an elderly man) and I just couldn't take it. Maybe I'm a big wuss, but I can't stand the Dark Side. Besides, do they have to make you ugly if you go DS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, do they have to make you ugly if you go DS? I'm like you man, except that I managed to complete on DS many times. There's just some things I can't do. Some DS options are kind of funny but robbing a poor widow or some sick old man is just wrong man. Just wrong... This is the thing I love about KotOR. It causes lots of emotions.

Clone L68362 Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Yeah,you get all ugly if you go DS. Instant phail. K1 invoked a lot of emotions in me too, mostly at the end. Fighting Bastila and the whole coversation with her and trying to save her was touching, then the fight with Malak with the music and the scenery was just incredible. I remember one game were, as Malak was about to die the music reached it peak right as he said his last few words. Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spinkle Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 i also had trouble redoing the temple as DS...after i finished what needed to be done there, i didn't want to face the "what happened?" conversation with Carth, so I gave up instead. =\ I still haven't tried to make it through the game all DS. my most emotional moment by far in the two games was the fall of Atris my first time through TSL. i was in complete disbelief. even though i was a lightsider i was so angry i killed her without an offer of redemption and no hesitation...and then immediately felt like a horrible person. =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BattleDog Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 I could never do dark side. Once, on light side, I threatened the Ithorian who had HK. Bastila sounded so dissapointed I reloaded. Things that choked me up in K1, in no particular order: 1) When Bastila finds out her dad is dead. 2) Carth's son. 3) Taris being destroyed. 4) You're Reven. 5) Dantooine destroyed. 6) The whole ark after Bastila gets captured. 7) Malak's death. There were other things that made me emotional but those were the heavyweights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffSaberist Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 There is no emotion... j/k. I'm surprised noone did that yet. If I do play DS, I skip all dialog, and even then it seems wrong. When I found out I was Revan... oh, geez. I read a walkthrough, and I thought Malak was playing a Sith mind trick forcing you to act like Revan, then say "I'm not Revan anymore..." so they would know the trick was over. When I realized it was true... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallucination Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Geez no one can do DS? After I played LS I just loved the slaughter, running into the fight and killing, the robbing people. Does that mean I'm a bad person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffSaberist Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 No, it means you don't take the game too seriously. Yet. I'M TELLING YOU, GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL CAN! IT'S TOO LATE FOR US!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

90SK Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 I always felt a little guilty with the prospect of killing the jedi masters in TSL. Aside from Vrook. >_> @BattleDog Yeah, I was pissed and sad at the same time when Taris was destroyed. That was probably the biggest emotional blow KotOR dealt me. It also gave me great reason to play LS and kick Malak's rump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinkle Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 I was actually happy when Taris was destroyed, because it guaranteed i wouldn't have to deal with it a second time in that game =D (my apologies to Juhani, of course) Killing the Jedi masters feels like a hollow victory each time...the worst for me was Kavar. I'd never liked Vrook and I'm pretty indifferent about Zez Kai-Ell...but Kavar has that whole friend vibe going on that I'd gotten really used to, so when i finally played DS i felt like i was betraying his trust.

90SK Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Yeah, same here. I felt bad for Atris when I confronted her. Fortunately, I was playing LS, so I let her be. Even so, some of the DS options were interesting, to say the least. Like leaving her to the holocrons... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceAlex Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 K1: - The whole Leviathan scene was excellent and i felt like i'm really there - Everything involving Bastila on UW and Star Forge. Going light side was rewarding, but going DS was much more exciting. I never played Dark Side throughout the entire game. I was light side a couple of times, but i prefer playing neutral. Face it, some of those schuttas deserved a DS response. K2: - The meeting with Atris. That academy had a certain cold feel about it. - The meeting with the Jedi on Dantooine was really emotional (LS) - The closer i was to Nihilus, the more excited i was (especially because i buffed him up a bit ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
