42. Beat a game with a Metascore above 90

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic


- I think this is my second oldest Steam game after Team Fortress 2, and it only took me about nine years to beat it. It was interesting running down through old save files and seeing who I named my characters in the past: Tracy Mombaro (for Inviso), Ocean Delenn (a combo of CrimsonOcean and satai delenn), Maniacal Demigod (after Maniac & my Olympian Demigods from B8BL). It wasn't until I've actually played some D&D and understood AC, THACO, and how important battlefield control can be that I really made any major headway towards completion. This was the first playthrough I got on the Leviathan, went to Korriban, and definitely met the endgame. It was a very difficult but rewarding experience, even if I knew the big spoiler =P for almost a decade now.

Full Light Side game, really enjoyed the story and the planets visited. Again, felt like an awesome D&D campiagn now that I've gotten a better taste for that side of the Action RPG experience after raising myself on Secret of Mana and Tales of Symphonia where it's less putting focus on making sure you're prepared for the worst and more grinding until everything crumbles to dust at your feet. A level 20 capstone, limits to what you can put points into or equip, and planning for your path... it's relatively new and weird and I'm glad I got through it. It was a joy getting to see the big hype moments I missed my first few times. I still remember fondly things like finding Jolee for the first time or running around lost on Tatooine (it's not nearly as confusing as I remember).

Definitely one of the best games I've played in terms of characters, plot, and choice-making, but I don't think I'm likely to play again anytime soon for that Dark Side file because of some really intensely slow areas, accursed and lengthy dialogue, buggy pathing and glitching cutscenes. Awesome game, but it does show some signs of age.

Roster Rankings:

Most Used: Main > Bastila > Carth > Mission > T3-M4 > Canderous > Jolee > HK-47 > Zaalbar > Juhani

Most Cared For: Main > Bastila > Mission > Jolee > Canderous > Zaalbar > HK-47 > Carth > T3-M4 > Juhani

I'm tempted by the Dark Side of the Force to make a new playthrough just to troll Carth and turn Juhani and Bastila into my Sith Apprentices.
