PugJesusKOTOR 2 PCM with spoilers if you haven't played it yet (you should also it's two decades old)
RebekahWSDI never could get kotor 2 to run on my machines. I did play the first one. Years and years after it released. Somehow not knowing the twist.
I still did very poorly as it turns out being a sniper was a bad idea for the uhhh ending.
Cheats enabled it was and a complete respec later, tada! Fun.
KOTOR 1 was good, but KOTOR 2 was a masterpiece if you can stomach the janky combat from the first. The writing is [chef’s kiss]
QuetzalcutlassKOTOR feels like it belongs in the original canon. It’s basically a perfect Star Wars movie with a bunch of game padding around it. It’s the most “Star Wars” Star Wars outside of the Original Trilogy.
KOTOR 2 did what Rian Johnson tried to do in deconstructing and subverting the usual Star Wars tropes, but did so a million times more competently than The Last Jedi. With the Restored Content mod it’s one of my favorite pieces of media ever.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2 Vs. Joseph Campbell
This is a focused retrospective and critique of both of the older Knights of the Old Republic CRPGs from Bioware and Obsidian. It looks to how they interface with the Monomyth template as originally laid down in 1949 by Joseph Campbell in The Hero With a Thousand Faces, one game conforming exactly to it and the next game violently rejecting the entire premise. It also discusses how Campbell's monomyth influenced the philosophies of the Jedi and Sith more than George Lucas might care to admit. Spoilers throughout.

That video has been in my aptly-named “Watch Eventually” playlist for ages. I should get around to actually watching it!
It’s insanely good, most things from him are great but I think this one may be my favourite.
I checked my playlist and it’s very nearly the oldest entry still on there. It’s definitely due for a watch by this point!
