Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is a role-playing video game set in the Star Wars universe. Developed by BioWare and published by LucasArts, the game was released for the Xbox on July 19, 2003, and for Microsoft Windows on November 19, 2003. The game was later ported to Mac OS X, iOS, and Android by Aspyr, and it is playable on the Xbox 360 and Xbox One via their respective backward compatibility features. A Nintendo Switch version was released on November 11, 2021.

The story of Knights of the Old Republic takes place almost 4,000 years before the formation of the Galactic Empire, where Darth Malak, a Dark Lord of the Sith, has unleashed a Sith armada against the Galactic Republic. The player character, as a Jedi, must venture to different planets in the galaxy to defeat Malak.

Players choose from three character classes (Scout, Soldier or Scoundrel) and customize their characters at the beginning of the game, and engage in round-based combat against enemies. Through interacting with other characters and making plot decisions, players can earn Light Side and Dark Side Points, and the alignment system will determine whether the player's character aligns with the light or dark side of the Force.

The game received critical acclaim upon release, with critics applauding the game's characters, story, and sound. It was nominated for numerous awards and is considered one of the best video games ever made.

There was another thread for this, but it was old and had poor grammar, so I'm making a new one.

It's fine since KOTOR just released on Switch so I have an excuse.

ok

Okay truth is I'm replaying it on Switch and wanna talk about it.

Anyway, as far as the port is concerned, it runs pretty well and also includes the Yavin DLC, so that's cool. This is also the "best-looking" portable version of KOTOR.

Anyway, I'm trying to 100% complete it for the first time, but jesus these ****ing Pazaak guys are a nightmare. I swear they always seem to pull a 20 out of their ass.

I beat Malak legit for the first time but he was still hard as hell, I died like 10+ times.

Then again I was a Consular trying to saber him, but I figured I had mastered dueling and lightsaber proficiency was pretty good.

Maybe I nerfed myself by using a single saber, dunno. Dude kept getting rid of my buffs too.

Edit: Also, was wondering is there anyone here who mained blasters for a lot of the game? I never used them for long, always switched literally every character to melee/sabers.

I didn't main blasters, but I kept strong ones in my inventory and put enough points into that category that I had a few skills from that tree. I would pull them out so I could snipe certain enemies and take off some chunks of health before they got close to me.
