I've been fairly disinclined to try new role playing games lately; the repetitive combat, the overly linear story with little depth, the pointless minigames - all of these staples of RPGs had given me a retch reflex. But after hearing so much about Knights of the Old Republic I just had to give it a try, and I can honestly say I haven't gotten this involved in an RPG since Planescape: Torment. And that's pretty high praise.
