Is HK47 worth playing the game for?

Well, I would say so.
But personally, I enjoyed the hell out the KotOR I played. I finished the first, and then I played to where my computer could handle the second, but after a while it started freezing because it couldn't handle it. I loved what I played of the first one, and I hate LucasArts for their rushing Obsidian. I could see Obsidian had like a whole fucking huge thing planned, and then they got shit on.
So yeah, play it.

HK47 came out with my favourate line in KotoR.

"The Chieftain wants some kind of guarantee that we aren't a threat. Should I blast him now?"

I mean, it's funny in itself, but it's exactly the kind of comment you'd hear if you were role-playing with real people.

I found kotor pretty boring. Like someone else said, it's pretty much D&D in star wars clothing, and none of the abilities and weapons made me feel very jedi-like. I also found the plot very boring, especially since half the game is chasing these Star Map things. It quickly made me lost my motivation... they really needed to create a more interesting narrative.

I still want to play the second game though, because the Torment guy penned it.

So it's a month later and I'm still playing this (the first one). I'm still enjoying it a lot, I told ShaperMC that it's basically the Star Wars game I've wanted to play my entire life (in a non-literal sense).

I just got to the big secret plot twist and loved it. I am tempted as soon as I beat the game to go through it again doing all dark side choices, but really I should keep moving on my backlog.

In conclusion: Nana has read too many star wars books, and it shows in her appreciaition for this game.

I just beat it now, although that last area really seemed significantly more difficult than the rest of the game. Also, I broke my save:

Every time I'd reenter my ship there would be a new one, at one point I had ten of them.
