    SWTOR is KOTOR3 for me.

    Similar story telling, setting, dialogue, choices, morals and powers.

    Only they added multiplayer and a cosmetics shop.

    Oddly it’s probably become less KOTOR over time, compared to how it was at launch.

      And then the eternal empire happened 😕

      Cool sci-fi concept, but didn’t feel very star wars to me.

        That was really a bad move, in hindsight.

        Painted themselves into so many corners they’ve never gotten back out of.

            A plot device added to give the player somewhere to conquer / liberate.

            A hidden empire that rivals the empire and republic, ruled by a powerful force user and with access to advanced technology.

        Nah, it’s been passed off by the Studio to smaller maintenance company, who are doing some nice stuff with it.

        New stories keep getting added, though perhaps they’re not of the same quality as the originals!

      Nah The Old Republic is why we never got a 3rd KotOR. Same reason why we don’t have Elder Scrolls 6 or GTA6. Why would they make a new game when they’re still making a shitload of money off mmo games that people are still playing years later?

      As soon as I found out The Old Republic had a subscription fee I knew KotOR was doomed.
