finished Knights of the Old Republic 1 today, then started KOTOR 2, and I'm already having a great time. I love the new dialogue options and the LUKE THEME PLAYS WHEN YOU GET LIGHT POINTS and like ATTON RAND?!? EXISTS?? Already in love❤
I really loved my Essin Taft/Revan boy in KOTOR1. I chose the avatar that looked as close to John Boyega as I could get, so he was hella fine, great eyebrow game. Then, he was Super BeastMode Guardian Jedi super fast. Oppnents did, like 0 or 1 dmg because they couldn't touch him. By the end, he basically took down Malak in 2 attacks (he hit him, like, 10 times in 2 attacks, whooooo that dual wield FLURRY). But... I did not enjoy Bastila's characterization, so the love interest was pretty flat (didn't stop me from singing "Power of Love" from the Sailor Moon OST the whole way through our final interaction with her lol; my friend helping me play was NOT impressed)
However, Vali Ters (the fem OC who's true name I don't know yet because my friend won't spoil it) and Atton Rand are HILARIOUS. Not even on the Ebon Hawk for the first time and I LOVE them. Atton is basically a quippy little Solo archetype with Fashion Shoulders and I👏 AM👏 HERE👏 FOR👏 IT👏
Like, are you srsly telling me I'm gonna spend 18 hours quipping and romancing someone who reminds me of HAN SOLO, a character I've loved for almost 30 years, while playing a tall blonde with LEGS FOR DAYS and Giant Bisexual Disaster Energy with convenient amnesia? Oh, also, she can get to LEVEL THIRTY JEDI?!? I'M GONNA FUCK SOME SITH SHIT UP FOR FUN AND PROFIT (and the Light Side, gotta save them 100 Jedi uwu)
FANFUCKINGTASTIC LET'S GO
