KOTOR is obviously a product of its time. The controls are clunky, and the graphics are severely lacking by modern standards. But even with those flaws, Bioware manages to tell a timeless and thrilling tale that fleshes out the world it takes place in. KOTOR challenges the almost Buddhist philosophy of the Jedi Order, but it challenges the self-serving ways of the Sith just as much. Humans don't exist in a simple duality, and KOTOR acknowledges that. These ideologies are omnipresent in all of KOTOR's plot threads and character interactions, and they give us an applicable perspective on the real world as well. KOTOR is the kind of experience that can be discussed for hours on end. It has a memorable cast of characters, a thought provoking narrative, an amazing soundtrack, and a vast and expansive world. KOTOR is a standard for what story driven RPGs should strive to be.

Fucking play this shit.
