is it just me, or is this game just so frustrating with its' "roll a dice and see if you've hit an enemy" style of fighting that it makes you want to dig out Doom 3 for some instant death action?
i just can't figure out why people raved about this game for so long. it's like The Sims; pointless, meandering, repetitive, and just so convoluted it feels like those old open-ended Warhammer role-play card games that spotty guys with no job who live with their parents play all day, because they think they're going to live for 200 years.

it's funny you should metion Doom 3, because they signify two completely different approaches to computergames.
one is very heavily focused on combat and has a story that you could write down with a lipstick on half a napkin, the other is full of story and background.
in other words: combat in KOTOR isn't very important - to focus on it, is missing the point.

once you get far enough in the game, it doesn't feel so "let me roll some dice in a videogame" because your characters are good enough that they hit almost every time, and the action feels a little bit more realistic... theres not much to say about the turn-based fighting other than countless games have done it before, but in kotor they almost manage to make turnbased fighting feel like real time, almost like the progeny of real time and turnbased. one of my pet peeves about the game was that there was way too much running around, but I really think the story and open-endedness, especially of Kotor 2 (which is loads better, and which I am close to finishing actually) make the game worth playing.

True.
Maybe you should just not, like, play this game. It takes a certain kind of people to enjoy RPGs. I've always loved navigating through 4 menu windows just to take one swing at a blob with money inside him, but not everyone does.
