Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (KotOR) is an RPG by BioWare.

The story takes place roughly 4,000 years prior to the events of the film A New Hope, during the Jedi Civil War. With Darth Revan having recently been killed, the second-in-command, Darth Malak, is now is charge. It's up to you to cross the galaxy in the hope of finding the key to the Sith fleets seemingly endless supply of weapons and ships.

Gain followers from the planets you visit, from a trigger-happy droid to a teenage Twilek girl to an elderly young-at-heart Jedi Knight. The choices you make influence the lives of those around you, and when faced with the ultimate decision, will you bring hope to the Jedi and the Republic or will you condemn the galaxy to centuries of rule under your hand?

Players take the role of a custom character whose choices not only affect their own destiny, but that of the galaxy as well. KotOR utilizes a modified version of the d20 system like that used in both the Star Wars Roleplaying Game and Dungeons & Dragons. Combat occurs in rounds, with the player using an attack or power, followed by the enemies turn. Also, two NPC party members will be able to join you in battle throughout the game, and their skills (or lack there of) can greatly impact the way the game is played.
