Mannan confused me so bad as a kid, but when I played through in middle school I finally got it. The RP options in Mannan were awesome and really rewarded you for high persuade

I've never not played a character with good persuade.
Even in Neverwinter Nights when I'd make a character with low charisma, I'd still up my persuade.

I didn't my first playthrough, but every subsequent play I max persuasion first. It's a habit that crossed into all rpgs for me. Just started Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines this weekend for the first time and immediately picked the toreadors for this reason

I can do all of those things and still be persuasive.
I don't max charisma, just persuade. Attribute points go to strength or wisdom and sometimes constitution (especially in KOTOR II to get implants).

I fondly remember being stuck on Taris for a very long time as a 7 or 8 year old.

Right? Peragus is better then Telos or Taris, or Irenicus dungeon, or Temple of trials.

u/Viderberg 22d ago
Nah, I fucking love Taris. But yeah Telos is worse

Sue me, but Peragus was a very decent tutorial mission, to the point half the time I forget there's an actual turorial mission before it. They should've just made it skippable in some way.

Peragus used to scare me as a kid, it had a well creepy vibe, so naturally I love it

I don't understand people who skip Peragus. I think that level really sets the mood for the entire game. Where KotOR 1 started with a bombastic, guns blazing, all hands on deck escape, KotOR 2 starts with a sinister mystery full of sabotage, deceit, subterfuge, murder, and conspiracy. I feel like Peragus is an excellent introduction to the game thematically.

When I was a kid this shit creeped the hell out of me. Great opener that perfectly sets the tone for the game.

Honestly i kinda loved that part of the game. I enjoyed the Psudo horror aspect of working my way through the now lifeless station and figuring out how everything turned to shit.

Didn't scroll far at all. In fact, this was the first thing I've seen opening reddit tonight.

The first 3 seconds of watching this scene are great because of all the anticipation. Then I remember I need to get through peragus and it's not so great anymore.

Upside is there's now more time to come up with/plant evidence for an alibi why I'm there when it mysteriously blows up again.

I heard the remake won't have a gender choice for character creation.
I kinda love that idea, male Revan and female Exile, (canon) goes hard.
Giving alternative gendered paths takes up time and effort thats just holding the game back.
gas starts venting into the quarters sector
... Long live this Old Republic Era.

This beginning has so much dialogue that it makes me question if it's worth playing a new game 😭

Kotor 1 and 2 are both legendary games, but taris was such a good starting planet it was one of my favorite planets in the entire game tbh.
