On a whim, I decided to purchase the two Knights of the Old Republic games on Steam, having already played through (most of) KotOR II before, I decided it would at least be a good idea to play its predecessor.
Anyways, both games are great and it was money well spent, but that's not what this thread is about.
This thread is about how the two protagonists in the KotOR games have canonized backstories of their own.
[rant] It's a relatively minor complaint, but its something that just bugs me. Why bother giving me the choice to be male/female, or light side goody-goody/dark side asshole if you're just going to tell me what is supposed to happen anyways?
I always liked the idea of Revan being a woman and Meetra Surik (the exile) being a man, I dunno why, it just sits better with me. While there's nothing stopping me from going ahead and gender-bending Revan and Meetra, it still doesn't change the fact that the official, canon story for the two characters is plainly laid out. [/rant]
Anyways, here is a thread for my fellow escapists to vent about the little trivial things in games that irritate them.
