I wanna preface this because I’m playing a modded version of the game to restore lost content and bug fixes and overall making the game better on modern pcs and also look good too
From playing this from when I was 14 to now as an adult this game has many aspects of it that made me love BioWare and RPGs in general while also making love the expanded universe Legends was in the Star Wars Universe with my favorite characters being Revan who I love a lot as his design is cool and his signature purple and red lightsaber gives me chills to this day. This game is a wonderful experience as this game allows you to create your Revan however you wanted them to be and this game gives you that creative freedom. I love the story and the companions and the expansive world as well as worlds that are known from movies this game makes you feel like a Jedi/Sith (however you want to play it) and it makes it work but while I did play this game with mods to fix the experience I also have to make note that this game has issues such as bugs and glitches that make the game bad at times and without the mods when playing it in modern pcs makes it hard to see since it’s doesn’t fit the aspect ratio and I understand this game is old and I’m playing it on my pc but it still a worthwhile note if your planning on playing it in ox but in console and switch it should work just fine. Another issue I have with this game is how your morality is too black and white and while KOTOR 2 does fix this with its shades of grey there are too many times where when you’re playing as a Jedi it feels like you’re overly pretentious and too much of a goofy too shoes that doesn’t allow you to be pragmatic (cause that will give you dark side points) but when playing as a sith you’re essentially a cartoonish villain from a show and honestly it does put me off from the game because of that (KOTOR 2 like I said does fox’s that problem for me in my opinion) another issue is that this game is a slog to get through with returning players since the tutorial area Taris is a slog to get through once you know where you’re going (KOTOR 2 also has this issue but I’ll go through it with that review) and makes subsequent runs a huge turn off for replay value.
Overall with my modded run I would give it 5 stars as it does fix a lot of issues i have with the game with the community patches and overall making the game look better on modern hardware while in its original state I would say that I will give it a 3.5 stars since the base game alone is already good I have issues with the bugs that crash my game from time to time but still an enjoyable experience
