'Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic' is the best game out there in a lot of things, obviously, when you're the #2 greatest game ever made. At first, I was a bit reserved. My mother had illegally downloaded the game, back when this was as easy as getting out of bed, and was playing it for a bit. It didn't really look like what I was used to when it came to a Star Wars game. I was used to things like the 'Jedi Knight' series, and 'Jedi Outcast' (#19) wasn't old yet and games like those were grittier, had more action and had more familiar faces and locales. Knights of the Old Republic however was cleaner, you mostly see faces and a lot of text and the game is mostly quite slow paced.
However, I figured, at this time I wasn't really a fan of console gaming and Star Wars is still Star Wars so I gave it a shot. Pretty much from the first moment I was blown away by its story, its environments, its characters and its scope. The story is more Star Warsy than actual Star Wars movies, bar maybe the very first one. I love a simple "good versus evil" story, it's one of the tropes ac my list, and this is the greatest example of it. The famous twist in the second half blew my proverbial socks off more than anything ever. And the worst part is, that in subsequent playthroughs you notice there had been hints all throughout the game given by party members, Jedi NPC's and the villain Malak, who's monologues are epic by the way. I obviously bought the legal game not long after, and I even bought the mobile version of this game a few years ago, that's how great it is. And oh, poor Trask, he knew of nothing, at least he went down with the ship.
