Rewarding game, and well worth the purchase.

"The auto-pause seems a little erratic at times, but I'm sure I'll get used to that."
The auto pause is configurable, you can turn it on and off in the options for many different situations, such as; horizontal menu move, enemy spotted, party member killed.

Yeah, I know mang.
What I initially had a problem with, was the fact that it didn't actually pause IMMEDIATELY, on coming into contact with enemies. There was always a slight delay.
Being vaguely aware of the intricacies of AD&D rules (KotOR uses a modifed version of the 3rd edition rules, right?), I had assumed it was something to do with the enemies getting a first hit advantage or something. They would occasionally get their first blasts off before the auto-pause kicked in, after all.
I think it's just a case of my needing to readjust my expectations and tactics from previous, non-3D Bioware titles.Comment

If anything, the game is possibly more 'Star Wars' than the SW movies...
I always remember being impressed with the old SW RPG stuff- never actually played it, but loved the source book material. KOTOR just shoves in as much background detail as possible and allows you to see as much (or as little) as you want.
At the moment, I've got huge play time dilemna in that both Viewtiful Joe and this are vying for my attention.
Both are at the very top of my games of the year so far...
As an aside, what are (if any) the consequences of wielding red lightsabres when you are well at the top of the light side of the force?
I can't see anything myself, but red just goes far better with my attire!Comment

The 3rd Edition rules for D&D are based on the d20 rule system Wizards Of The Coast developed for all their pen-and-paper RPG properties. D&D was the first system to utilize the d20 system, but Star Wars and Star Trek (those RPGs also owned also owned by WotC) use the d20 system too. It is an incredibly versatile ruleset.Originally posted by Gr0verComment

yeah i had to avoid that illegal match so far, is there no way of doing it without getting dark side points?Comment

D&D isnt based on the d20 system..it is the d20 system :-). Star Wars uses a modified version but Star Trek doesnt as the licence for that isnt held by WotC. All rulesets these days are incredibly versitile but d20 has the most support by far.The 3rd Edition rules for D&D are based on the d20 rule system Wizards Of The Coast developed for all their pen-and-paper RPG properties.

Just thought I'd chime in :-)Comment

Here is what I found at WotC's website:Originally posted by Welrain
Q: Is the d20 System just another term for "Dungeons & Dragons"?
A: Yes and no.
The current version of Dungeons & Dragons is the basis for the d20 system. The market research done to determine what gamers wanted out of an RPG game was used to determine what kinds of rules, and what level of complexity, would go into the game.
That foundation was also used to produce the Star Wars roleplaying game, and it will be used to create a number of future products now in development at the company.
Over the long term, the two identities will separate. Dungeons & Dragons will mean the specific brand identity of that game, and d20 System will mean the common shared rules and systems used by many different games.Comment

The current d20 system is almost identicle to the D&D second edition system (which was almost the same as the first edition). There generally has been very little change on a broad level.
The d20 system is essentially the same as the original D&D system invented in the seventies, just under a different name.Comment

The 3rd Edition rules for D&D are based on the d20 rule systemThats the difference I was trying to point out. The d20 rule system main document, downloadable from WotC, is Dungeons & Dragons. The d20 rule system has not quite made it to the stand alone stage yet.The current version of Dungeons & Dragons is the basis for the d20 system - WotC
Are you speaking from experience? There have been stacks of changes on many different level in my exepreince.The current d20 system is almost identicle to the D&D second edition system (which was almost the same as the first edition).

Yeah, although I'm basing my experience of the d20 system from the Bioware and Black Isle games. I used to play 2nd edition D&D religiously. The basic combat of d20 roll plus attack modifiers must equal or be greater than AC plus Dex modifiers plus other modifiers has remained unchanged since the beginning of D&D.Originally posted by Welrain
There are a few changes in the d20 system with regards to saving throws, but beyond that most of the other changes in the rules system are at a more detailed level (although critical hits used to be an optional rule, but most people used them anyway).Comment

Completed it in 26 hrs on the lightside, didn't think much of the ending was expecting a bit more
Might do again using one of my mid-save points but this time being on the darkside, but not sure if worth it
