One of the more intense elements of KOTOR is the amount of freedom you have in choosing your path. As a Jedi, the responses you pick and the actions you undertake will have grave implications regarding your status as a student of the light or dark side of The Force. Every situation you come across will allow you several different approaches to accomplish the task at hand. Similarly, the way you speak to NPCs and party members, or how you react to their situations, will have a dramatic impact on the outcome of any given scenario, as well as the overall adventure.
