RobQel-Droma Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 KOTOR 1: My favorite would probably have to be Korriban. Least favorite is hard, I'd have to say maybe Manaan, or maybe even Taris (blasphemy, I know). TSL: Favorite would be Onderon/Dxun, although if M4-78 wasn't cut, and was paired with Korriban, I would say without a doubt it would be that. But since it was left by itself, Korriban was just a tad too short and rather empty. Least favorite would be Peragus, without a doubt. Not that I didn't like it, but it was such a huge part with all the different modules that I got tired of killing all those wimpy droids and running back and forth without any kind of interaction with other people.

stoffe Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Manaan with no competition, the only planet I didn't look forward to being forced to visit when playing KotOR: Huge, sterile-feeling areas with annoying, self-righteous Lawful Stupid inhabitants... Sith at their best Schoolyard Bully and least Scheming Mastermind selves... The Republic at their most stupid, "Hey, let's alienate our allies" selves... Railroad plots at their worst... Those slooooooooow underwater sequences where you have to crawl around at snails pace in that bulky suit (that illogically blocks force power usage so you can't even Speed yourself). Just a planet full of little annoyances that added together make you feel like you want to be done and leave the place as soon as you are able. The only somewhat interesting part of that planet was (unless I forgot something) the Sunry Trial, since it outlines how well Black/White Jedi morality would clash with reality.

LordReserei Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 KOTOR My favourite planets in K1 have to be..Taris and Korriban. Although I wish Taris was bigger and not blown the hell up. KOTOR II My favourite planets in TSL are...Onderon and Dxun. Although like Taris I wished it was far bigger. Least favourite Korriban (TSL) besause you can't go into any of the ruins or stuff, although it did have that secret tomb which was cool and I really wanted to go to Dreshdae. Peragus, bescause it was simply boring for me. Dantooine (TSL) i dunno, I liked it but found it also a bit boring. Nar Shadaa, was cool because it was fairly big, but it could've more stuff to do. that's all I can think of @ the mo :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremia Skywalk Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Kotor: Favorite- I would have to go with Star Forge, altho it wasn't realy a planet, but that place was epic. Worst- I enjoyed all the planets in kotor, but if i have to choose i would choose Taris lower/undercity. It was kinda boring, ya kno? The Sith Lords- Favorite- Nar Shadda definetly. It had so much stuff to do, and even despite all the glitches it is great. Worst- Peragus- I just hate that piece of rock, and were happy, when found out it blew to hell. Malachor V- I think it was made to delay my meeting with Treya. Storm beasts are 1hit killable (with enlightment, high strenght and level.) But they still bore the crap out of me.

RC-1162 Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 KotOR: Fave: i LOVED the star forge, taris and korriban, lots of quests and in the SF lots of sith ta kill. Hated: i HATE kashyyyk, it just drags on and on without any point. and i got bugged with the stupid wookiee-groaning too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Point Man Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 KOTOR Favorite = Taris because of all the interaction with others and the variety of things to do. Though the story is pretty linear, it still does not feel like you are being forced to go where the writers say you have to go. Least favorite = Manaan--'nuff said. TSL Favorite = Dxun/Onderon. I like the variety of things to do, especially using other party members to go through the Tomb, and the rain is a nice touch. Least favorite = Peragus. The oh-so-obvious story behind the sabotage and the feeling of "So, why am I here, and what am I doing?..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zadi Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Favorite Planets: KOTOR 1: Korriban. I loved the tombs and all the side quests on that planet. KOTOR 2: Dxun. It was great finding Canderous. It took me several game plays to realize that Mandalore WAS Canderous! LOL Least Favorite Planets: KOTOR 1: Manaan. The water world was boring. Taris was long and tedious but Manaan was boring. KOTOR 2: Korriban. Boring compared to the first game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igyman Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 It took me several game plays to realize that Mandalore WAS Canderous! LOL Me too. How is that possible?

igyman Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Back on topic! KoTOR: Favourite planets: Taris - Its Upper City reminds me of Coruscant. Manaan - Never before seen in either the movies, or computer games. I don't understand why nobody likes this planet, it's great! Rakatan Homeworld - Another completely new planet, which is why I like it. Less favourite (I won't say least because they are good): Tattoine - Looks great, but I've seen it one too many times. Korriban - Also looks great, but those tombs should have been bigger. Kashyyyk - Even though KoTOR gives us a first glimpse upon Kashyyyk, the planet itself wasn't too interesting to me. KoTOR 2: Favourite planets: Onderon/Dxun - Never before seen, both look good. Nar Shadaa - Interesting, but the appearance could have been better. Less Favourite (same as above): Dantooine - It looked a lot better in KoTOR 1, this time the textures were a little blurry. Korriban - It was better in KoTOR 1. Citadel Station - for a huge space station its interior could have been made more interesting. Least Favourite: Peragus - It was too boring (almost no one to talk to, it was too long), the textures were blurry (even at high visual details), the idea was good though.

Diego Varen Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 How is that possible? I recognized Canderous' voice immediately, I can't believe you two didn't. Yeah, but I didn't bother looking in the TSL Manual to see if Canderous' voice was the same as Mandalore. In both games, he is voiced by John Cygan. This is going off-topic, so don't bother talking about Canderous/Mandalore unless you want to start a thread on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zadi Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 How is that possible? I recognized Canderous' voice immediately, I can't believe you two didn't. Easy.

Vladimir-Vlada Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 My list: Favourite planets in KOTOR 1: Tatooine: Easy. It is great. Manaan: I loved this planet. I really don't know why nobody likes it. Korriban: Intruiging... Although the tombs could have been bigger. Yavin IV Station: Too bad you couldn't visit Yavin IV itself. Taris: Well developed. Least favourite planets in KOTOR 1: None... I guess I like all of them. Favourite planets in KOTOR 2: Nar Shadaa: Loved it. Big cities are great. Onderon/Dxun: Great. Just great. Telos: Not bad... It could have used more variety though. Least favourite planets in KOTOR 2: Korriban: They threw out many things. But it was still good. Peragus: There is nothing interesting to do.

Non-false Jedi Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Yeah. Peragus for me. EVERYBODY IS DEAD. How can we enjoy role playing a jedi, when the only people to talk to are and annoying old woman, and odd-ball scoundrel and murderous (although somewhat amsuing) droid. It did provide an errie atmophere of mystery but i find it incredibly tedious to fight through all the droids and talk to hardly anyone. Its a lonely place.

The Distorted Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 KotoR1: + Easily Korriban first, the atmosphere and the awe that the sith lord tombs' created was great, for starters, and all the things you had to do in them were uniquely suprising too (e.g. I don't know why, but I love that puzzle in Naga Sadow's tomb for his poison sword), as were all the "prestige" requirements. The various ways in which you could deal with your competition was also great. The multiple outcomes for the two sith lords was awesome too - you could plot in so many different ways. I love how in most of the outcomes, you're forced to fight your way through the whole academy to leave it as well. It's especially sweet if you're playing dark-side and killed both Yuthura and Uthar too (even more so if you took them on honourably with no poisonings, and simultaneously = you feel like a true sith lord/god!). It was just so open-ended, and each decision you made felt truly significant (if not always on a grand scale, then to you personally, in your "alignment") + Second would have to be Tatooine: loved it. Greatest highlight/reward for me, was finding out the Tusken Raiders' history - just awesome. I just liked it all, AND: it's where you get HK-47. Plus, there are always the jawas + Manaan: Yep. Truely. I found it to be a NICE change of pace, from the rest of the planets. I liked the exploration of the ideas/issues/principles presented within (and the moral dilema of the Sunry case), and the focus on law and control and how you talked your way out of things, without being able to fall back on action if it didn't go your way, for example. And, I actually respected the Selkath as a whole for their neutrality, and you really did get some from one side of the fence, some from the opposite, some inbetween, and some even as true observers as well (i.e. specifically, the judges spring to mind). + Rakatan world: Awesome scenery, just awesome. Who doesn't like a nice beach, eh? I liked finding out about their race, and the massive history they have also. Just awesome. - Kashyyyk: Have to say, this place really quite dissapointed me on my first play through [god - that feels like years ago now...oh no wait - it was ], I was expecting so much more in terms of the scenery, especially in regards to the shadowlands - I mean, where you actually were was so much less interesting (on the paths) then what the distance held in view. I really wanted to feel like I was "in the wild", and lost, isolated etc. but it still felt too "synthetic" in where you were treading for my tastes (I wanted hills, and lots of trees to run around dammit!). Some of the tasks seemed a little deja vu too, e.g. hunting down troublesome Mandalorians, till their captain reveals himself anyone? Plus, there was also this factor: "I did it all for the wookies..." "The wookies?" "- The wookies." "I hate you old man..." lol The "grand" feeling of Taris, and the many varied things you could do there was also great. KotoR2: + The Prologue (Ebon Hawk): GREAT way to open a game man - EXCEEDINGLY atmospheric. Talk about jumping in the deep end - gets you right in the action, and consequently the world/game straight away. Very mysterious and intriguing. + Dxun/Onderon (particularly Dxun): Great atmosphere - and the Mandalorians not presented as scum, but honourable for a change! How it should be. The jungle was cool (no expectations this time around, and it felt like Kashyyyk should have, or similar), but what made it so atmospheric was the nature of the tasks you had to perform within it, I liked the way it was all centred around the concept of proving yourself as to be a true warrior (inside the camp as well). The Freedon Nadd tomb raid was awesome too (I actually preferred it to the Onderon political war, personally). But that said, only slightly, cos the Onderon war was very epic and dramatic, especially how it starts, and ends. Onderon on the whole was interesting too, with its unique (IMO) scenery, and the tasks were interesting too (Onderon is so much better done DS IMO). - Peragus: After that great prologue, then...then this!? It drags, and drags and drags, even on first playthrough. It wouldn't hurt so much, if it were bigger and that was why it was so long, but all the back-tracking...man - tedious. My brain was always so much further ahead then the game would let me physically progress...I knew what was coming round every turn, and what to do about it, but I was still always several turnings behind in reality...just frustrating. Oh - to blow it up intentionally... - Bao-Dur "1st meeting" part of Telos: Unfinished, unpolished part in the underground base was overlong and wearying. Outside was a bit better, but just alot of fighting from A to B, really. - Malachor V: So much potential wasted - had the chance to be so grandly dark and epic, but fell way short because of the tedium-inducing fights, for the obvious sake of acting as time-filler... -/+ Dantooine: This place really dragged on, on first playthrough, but the several games I've played since haven't been half as bad as I remembered, I think it's cos I played it directly after Telos, and was still disillusioned somewhat (and Peragus was still grating on my mind, despite the fact that I had blown it up). But yeah - the lower-levels of the Enclave (whatever they're called, where you meet the Disciple) are still just plain crap, IMO. VERY boring. I'm a fricking uber-powerful Jedi (by this time) for Christs' sake, why the hell am I even bothering with these goddamn insect things?! This is not what I had in mind, when I signed up to a life of using the force, and influencing the galaxy's destiny. No way, man. No stinkin' way. I always liked the Khoonda part though. Ah...I just remembered the REAL reason why I hated this place so much initially...I got one word for ya: - VROOK. Oh God - when I realised he was still alive - WHERE'S THE JUSTICE!!! I don't want him to be alive so I can kill him from hate he makes me feel for him - I just wish he was dead from the first game so I'd never have to suffer him for one more second ever again! Just die already old man! Be gone, for good this time!!! Yeah, I think I'll stop now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus Q'ol Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 KotOR: Loved: Taris. C'mon, It's where it all began. Hooked me. Sucked: Maanan. Selkath speak hurts my ears. Though it was a contrast to a sand dune planet. TSL: Loved: Duxn/Onderon. Could've been bigger though. More exploration. Sucked: Korriban(the second time). I was so exited when I found out Korriban was in TSL. Then when I got there, I was a bit dismayed. Anti-climactic. I would have liked to have had a bit more exploration on the unknown planet.

PazaakPrincess Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Who doesn't love a list thread? muussst....use...the fffforce to ressissssst Oh well Kotor: Taris is great fun I never get tired of it, although i do spend a lot of time avoiding doing the Rakghouls till I have no choice. Dantooine is a good place too, although I didn't appreciate it at first. It's quite beautiful and I enjoy the side quests although there should be more. I was happy to discover that I got to go back with the stow-away. Manaan get's a bad rap but it definitely gives you a more peaceful/reflective change of pace and i find the political ins and outs interesting and having Jolee there unlocks the mystery to solve which livens it all up a bit. It's also a great city and I wish i could live in a place like it. It kinda of reminds me of Cloud City. At first I didn't like Korriban because it's all a bit grim but those glances over the cliff sides and down the tomb valley are cool and it's fun not having to be uber good all the time plus as a Carthofile I was happy to mend the family rift and save his son from the Sith. I dislike Tatooine in places though finding out about the sand people and getting the star map is quite cool, also Hk47. I find Tatooine more tedius then anything. Kashyyk's only redeeming feature is getting Jolee well and the conversation with the Rakata hologram otherwise it's very dreary and there is hardly anything fun to do it's the utter grimness. Manaan was definitely a nice change after Kashyyk. KOTOR II I don't mind peragus, it's a bit lonely but fairly easy plus you pick up Atton (woohoo) I prefer running around in my underwear with a mining laser. Dxun is definitely cool for the Mandalorians and the Dark Jedi. I had a lot of fun in the camp and enjoyed the hand-to-hand combat. Onderon is the most lively of the planets in my opinion and it's nice to be outside with sunlight! I also dug the political intrigue and I wish there was more to that planet, the big show down was far more rewarding then the Sith Academy on Malachor. The second time around on Dantooine was better then when you first get there in TSL. Korriban was a big let down as was Malachor. The final showdown with Sion was far more interesting then Kreia though and the academy part wasn't nearly as bad as running around in the vapor alone as each character I just did not enjoy that. I have to say I didn't like Nar Shadaa because it was a bit grim inside but getting your characters and jedi's makes it worthwhile. Citadel station I found the most tedius the best part of Telos is meeting Atris and getting Boa Dur. I thought the underground complex had potential but it was wasted.

Diego Varen Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 I was thinking about TSL and I didn't like the Ravenger part. Personally I found it boring. The good news is I've ressurected one of my first Threads here on LF. Glad you are happy Pottsie because I have to issue you a warning for uneccisarily 'bumping' a thread.

Jasper_Kazai Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Knights of the Old Republic Favorite: Korriban Just plain old fun to murder both teachers and then face the school-wide assault. Tatooine The classic. And it's nice and bright. I like bright places. Least favorite: Manaan, hands down. Besides being down right boring, the deep sea part gives me the shivers. Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords Favorite: Nar Shaddaa Brings back memories from the Dark Forces games and more. Onderon (revisit) The whole civil war thing is just so cool. Least favorite: Peragus Boring. Also, the lack of human beings is kind of scary. Real quiet. Malachor V I'm not really sure why, but when I arrived here, I had the urge to stop playing. Maybe it was because the story was kind of confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igyman Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I still don't understand why most of you people hate Manaan. For me it was really refreshing to visit such a great looking and never-before-seen planet. And the quests there were great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego Varen Posted May 19, 2006 Author Share Posted May 19, 2006 I'll tell you why I hate Mannan: 1: Selkath: They sound like they're choking on their own vomit or something. I think they're working with the Sith, because I always thing they are supporting the Sith. 2: Underwater Part: The suit made it take forever to walk underwater. Thankfully in TSL, it was a lot faster in a Space Suit. 3: Quests: Sunry was just annoying. I tried saving him, but every time I try to save him, he is always guilty (Another bit of info on Selkath supporting Sith). Maybe I should Sunry die for his crimes. 4: Those Cameras: When entering a Hangar, those cameras come on and it won't let you click off. What are these Selkath trying to do. Torture you?
