Ctrl Alt Del Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 Why have you chosen to buy the new Bioware masterpiece (when it was announced, of course) or the waited Obsidian sequel to it? Was it because you are a Star Wars fan? Or you just happen to like CRPGs? Perhaps both... The purpose of this thread is to draw the profile of the Kotor players, on what games can you expect to bump on them, and if Star Wars games have really crossed old boundaries that restricted the games to the fans of the Lucas saga.
Meowster Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 [[ I meant to do both <_< ]] It wasn't so much that it was Star Wars, that it was simply a great story that I shared with two of my cousins. Still, I love Star Wars, and love RPG's, and ended up buying it eventually. I mainly bought it for nostalgic purposes, and to try out some mods.
Uilleand Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 Because NWN knocked my socks off....even though I played Oblivion first. Made my own priorities very clear to me - pretty graphics mean nadda without the amazing story behind it. I never had any urge to play any Star Wars game in my life, but I wanted to see what Bioware did with it,,,,
Lance Monance Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 Because I'm always craving for RPGs and Kotor looked promising.
Jason Skywalker Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 Because i like Star Wars, like RPG's and while playing Jedi Academy and in the search for more SW games, i happened to find the KotOR series.
Arátoeldar Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 Because I have been a fan of Bioware since their Baldur's Gate days, a Star Wars fan, and RPGs are my favorite type of computer games.
adamqd Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 Purely because of star wars, in fact, I think the last game I played before K1 was Dark forces 2 on my Dads pc back in the day, I'm not really a gamer at all, I might buy the odd Shooter, to bide my time between Star Wars games.
Rev7 Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 I bought KotOR 1 maybe six-months after I got KotOR 2, I also bought the game because I was browsing the internet, and that is what I came across; it looked promising. My birthday was coming up, so my parents bought me an Xbox, and KotOR 2.
Serpentine Cougar Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 I bought cuz I liked Star Wars and I read reviews that said it was the best Star Wars video game and had a really good story. The fact that it had an awesome story was the main selling point for me, though.
True_Avery Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 I did not buy Kotor 1. I did not even know it existed, and did not care much for Star Wars in the first place. Family friend gave it to me for my birthday, so I installed it, played, and got hooked. I rented TSL for the Xbox at a later date and played through it once. Around that point I got interested in Star Wars more than ever.
Master Zionosis Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 I got KotOR 1 Because I love star wars and RPGs, I found out about it from my brother though, I played it on his Xbox then decided I liked it so much I bought it myself.
Obi-Wan Baloney Posted November 25, 2007 Posted November 25, 2007 I bought it cause I bought one for my cousin and then later decided to give it a chance too. That game turned me into a Star Wars fan. I loved Star Wars after playing that game!
Jasper_Kazai Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 Because I love Star Wars. After Christmas (2003), I went with my family to different electronic stores to use the money we received- we do this every year. I saw KotOR on the shelf and picked it up to look at it and immediately knew it was going to be an awesome game. I had to get a new graphics card to play it, though. Everything was solid white when I had first loaded up the game. After the new card, though, I was able to play. And I was disappointed. I was imagining a Jedi Knight series-style gameplay, and with the description about customizing your character and that style of combat, I thought it was going to be amazing. But it wasn't like that. I learned to like the game eventually, because of its story, but the combat still somewhat disappoints me. I still hold the belief that if KotOR had a combat system similar to the JK series, it would be my favorite Star Wars game of all time. The story is definitely my favorite. Fun fact: I didn't beat KotOR (LS, still haven't beaten DS) until almost three years later in April 2006. Long story why.
Nancy Allen`` Posted December 2, 2007 Posted December 2, 2007 I bought it because it was a good game. When I had my XBOX KOTOR was one of the games I tried and bought it because I was happy with it, simple as that.
Marius Fett Posted December 2, 2007 Posted December 2, 2007 I actually got it accidentally.... I was buying a different game and the store assistant put KotOR in by mistake... I tried it out and just couldn't bring myself to take it back
Arcesious Posted December 2, 2007 Posted December 2, 2007 I never got kotor for PC. my uncle gave it to me as my first videogame i had ever played on my xbox. i then got kotor II for xbox and palye dit. thne my fridn gave me the PC version of kotor II and i had a lot of fun playign it on my pC, and i've played it over and over and over again sicne thne...
Miltiades Posted December 2, 2007 Posted December 2, 2007 I've never seriously played any RPG before I bought Kotor. In fact, when I bought Kotor, I thought the gameplay was like the Jedi Knight series. What I got was something much better, and got me into the RPG world. So I bought Kotor because it was Star Wars mainly.

I tried it out and just couldn't bring myself to take it back Lol, but you bought one game and the assistant put both Kotor and the other game (lucky) or just Kotor?
Dark Diva Posted December 2, 2007 Posted December 2, 2007 I bought it out of curiosity. I had never played an RPG before but I was raised on Star Wars. My spouse bought TSL and as I watched him play a little of it I thought to myself "Hey that looks pretty cool!" Then he took it with him when he went out of town. I was browsing at the store and saw KOTOR. I realized it was the first one and picked it up using the excuse that now we could have both. Kotor is what hooked me on RPG's and Bioware. I was blown away by the storyline and the character interactions... and I still am. The bad part is we had to buy another copy so my husband had one because I played it constantly; trying different dialogs, sidequests, and then mods when I found out about them.
CrisG Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 I have put off playing KOTR for a long time, but kept hearing great things about it, and then I played Jade Empire and loved it, and decided to move on into the Star Wars world a bit, and here I am, and am very glad i did, remarkable game indeed, with many fine qualities.
Jacen Stargazer Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 I heard it was good, and I liked Star Wars quite a bit. Now, after playing KotOR, I'm safely a cRPG and Bioware fan.
Sabretooth Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 Because I was a Star Wars fan and the graphics looked pretty.
SilvanElf Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Star Wars fan... 'Nuff said *sorry for slight necro-posting*
Ferc Kast Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 I bought it because my brother had it, but then he moved out of the house before I could finish playing it. In short, because I wanted to finish the game.
