I bought a new computer that has built-in Intel graphics, and this game doesn't support that. The game crashes at certain points as a result. So far, I have been able to get past the problems by turning off grass and turning on vsync. However, I read on their support site that this won't get you all the way through the game. So, I am having to buy a new graphics card to be able to finish playing this game. Fortunately, this will make other games look better, so maybe I shouldn't complain too much. However, I do think games should support the built-in graphics since it is so common.
Anyway, the game itself is really great. If you only like first person shooters, you might not like this, but that's no reason to complain about the game. That's just not the way the game is designed. KOTOR is more like Final Fantasy in a Star Wars universe.
The interface takes a little getting used to, and sometimes you have to move your character around a lot to be able to interact with parts of the environment.
Some of the weapons are kind of un-Star Wars like, but that's because it's supposed to take place a long time before the movies.
So far, one of the best Star Wars games I've played. Well worth buying the graphics card to be able to play it all the way through.

First of all, this game is not about clicking your mouse button rapidly and whacking guys with your lightsaber it is a bit smarter. If you don't know the D&D 3e then don't bother playing it, you won't fully appreciate how fun it is and you won't get in to your character's full potential. Secondly the abilities to master in this game are Strength, Dexterity, and Wisdom. It is about being a Jedi and these skills are the most usefull for a jedi. Strength(for effective Lightsaber use) Dex(for physical Jedi moves) and Wis(for force powers). You cannot be a good jedi by developing your Charisma or intelligence because having something witty to say don't mean squat to gangs and other misfits. Feats. Feats are the most important aspect. Become focused in both melee and small guns(a bit of dual wielding won't hurt either)no matter what class you pick. Persuade is next to useless(in my experience) because you can usualy get other non-skilled dialogue choices and get the same results. It does help you buy stuff(except on Taris). Being a scoundrel will not give you much jedi potential and it is mostly useless(even the dark-side). I found that a Scout with all Scout talent + a bit of strenght - 1 lick of charm and intel, a few mechanical skills(gotta repair that droid/ship you know) and a few wheapon feats is the best class.
Space travel is all too easy. In fact if your looking for a space-sim/adventure hybrid you won't find it here(you won't find it anywhere in fact.) You can't go back to the planet you just left. Ever. It is NOT like Morrowind at all because of this. Also you forfiet all of our equipment(you paid for with hard earned cash!) I guess spaceships of 4000 years before Impire(BI) didn't have storage decks. ;}
The storyline is much better than most Forgotten Realms games and it is Sci-fi which is a new twist. The graphics are great on an ATI(with a patch). (...) I hate the whiny whaley generation Y-type "woo as me I can't find a dance partner" characters in this game. Games should not just be TV shows, they are better than that!
Never played and would like too

This game is so fun. best star wars game I ever played. You can pick your party membors. customize your party. customize weapons and build your own lightsaber. My favorite thing though is that you can be dark or light. Its fun to be dark!! But i beat it in 5 days. I had so much fun playing it that i was so upset when i beat it i didn't play computer for a week.
bottom line. Fun, addictive, but short.
The best game I have ever played

I feel incredably stupid for buying this game at the full price while it is a wonderfully enjoyable game I fell into the trap of a lot of people appaently.
I am not an RPG kind of guy and when comparing the two I think I prefer Jedi Outcast. However this game is not without its high points the charecters are interesting(espically the interaction between the NPC Jolee Bingo and Canderous the Mandelorian in particular)
However once you work out all the chinks in your own gameplay the game is not really worth it. Excellent on the first run through but I think the replay value suffers.
Overall-While I was not entirly hapy with my purchase I did like it a great deal and the plotline was better than episodes I and II put together. I will definatly buy the sequal
Loved it..

Okay i was amazed at how good this game is. I am generally not a Star Wars fan and the recent imprinting of SWG in my mind had put a bad name on all star wars games for me. I was over at my friends house and he had it, and well...fromt he first momements playing it i was caught into it =). The graphics, the gameplay, the EVERYTHING is amazing! It had a very good setup (from the Star Wars roleplaying game, not Dungeons and Dragons, though they are much the same actually...) so the game moved along smoothly. There are SO many things u can do in the game, combat strats, choosing what type of jedi u are and weather u are light or dark. Truly an awsome game
