So I just started Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic the other night.
Damn it's good. I'm usually not a fan of RPGs (theres about three I enjoyed, and this is one of them), but this is just FUN.
Choosing between lightside and dark side is really damn entertaining, and has a profound effect on the game world. My only gripe is that choices seem to fall into extremes at times. You can either give someone a lot of cash to survive, or kill them. There's often no middle ground.
I'm currently playing through as a good guy. The game is fun, but it'd be so much better if I could just start killing the whiney people begging for my help.
One person on your team in particular deserves this.
Carth, your ass is mine when I play dark side
.
I can't wait for my dark side run so I can do all the evil things I haven't been able to do so far.
And according to Oobey, the story is competely different as dark side, with the options to betray/kill/destroy the people you helped in the light-side campaign. You essentially get two games in one.
