Chat corner 46: KOTOR

[annathecrow]

Welcome to this week’s chat corner!

Optional prompt

The prompt for this week is the two-part computer game series “Knights of the Old Republic“. (Am I abusing my mod powers by choosing something I know? Possibly!)

Opinions on canonical storyline vs your playthrough? Favorite team member? Who has the best backstory? (I missed about 2/3 of the content and I’m so confused when I read fanfic!)

Mod note: Do we have any Legends afficionados here? I have ran out of Relevant Legends Things in my memory and have resorted to the very scientific method of opening Wookieepedia’s “Timeline of Legends media” and looking for things that I recognize. Which is… not a lot. XD I still have a few months’ worth of material, and I figure we can live with a slower week once in a while (it’s an optional prompt after all), but I’d love some tips if you have them. (Same goes for canon media as well, btw! Topic requests are good.)

I’m in the unpopular position that I actually don’t like KOTOR and think it’s omg greatest thing ever like the rest of the fandom but I acknowledge that it has a special place in many people’s hearts so I always try to be respectful to that.
(I actually recently replayed it in December last year and found my feelings hadn’t changed)
For its time it was very ambitious and me not liking it doesn’t mean I think it’s poor quality or bad but I have issues with some of the writing and much prefer the sequel and MMO.
I’m actually looking forward to the remake because I want them to change things up so maybe I can enjoy it more then.

Would you share your thoughts (on the dark side post, if need be)? I'm curious!

I’ll go Dark Side soon, it’s gonna be a long one so I’ll need to be at a computer not a phone.
