The crux of KOTOR was its plot, driven by an epic amount of dialogue and powerful cut scenes. It had other classic markings of a great RPG: Nerdy D&D die rolling system borrowed from Baldur’s Gate, a burlap sack full of inventory items and a raft of stats and feats that you could fantasise about eventually attaining. But these merely coloured your character.

KOTOR has inevitably spawned a sequel. A year later (and three months ahead of the original release date) and cue KOTORII – but don’t be deceived by the name. KOTORII is as different an experience from the original as Episode 1 was from Return of the Jedi.
