Finishing up KOTOR after so many years, has me really missing good, fun, scifi media. Games and shows/movies. I wouldn't mind seeing more elements as a part of FFXIV, to be honest. Same with RPGs, really. They just don't make them like they used to. I did laugh quite a bit though, at how many things I saw that were pretty 'problematic'. I can see much of it being removed or altered with that supposed remake of it coming out.

Did you finish KOTOR2 as well? ? Jolee Bindo and Canderous Ordo are the best parts of 1 imo. Well, and HK, of course.



I put in my two weeks notice to this job that I've come to hate. Nothing lined up, but plenty of options out there. I'm thinking about taking a month or so to myself, get back in shape, and get back into having a day time work schedule. Hmm.

I am playing KOTOR 2 alongside FFXIV now. I have played through it before, and even though I had played it more recently than KOTOR, I barely remember much about, plus I think I went dark side. KOTOR was always more memorable for me. Jolee was pretty good, and one of the better written characters. The dialogue responses to him and his reactions were always a lot of fun, and I had a smile on my face going through a lot of the dialogue with him. I think Canderous's character growth along side yours is pretty good as well. That man could sure tell a story. A definite classic.

I love both games, but the second one resonates a little more with me than the first. Canderous is in both of them, along with the Droids! It's a shame that his VA died a few years back. They can't get him for this supposed remake (that is probably going to suck).

In 2, other than Canderous(Mandalore) and HK, I have a real liking for Atton and Visas. I won't spoil you since you're replaying without strong memory, but Atton's back story always shook me up a bit. Visas was probably the first fictional character to make me think about the perceptions of those with different/no senses.

As a teen, I didn't like Kreia. I felt like she was the game's writer giving me a meta level dictation on making sure I saw both sides of the whole Good/Evil thing. I wrote her off as someone whose words go in one ear and out the other. Nowadays I appreciate her far more. She's got quite a lot of depth, once you realize the road she's walked. Her VA knocked it out of the park too, if you ask me.

It's a spoiler, but this scene still gives me goosebumps. Maybe even more so now, than it did back in December 2004.
