Well,what you are all missing here is that KotOR is an RPG game,and as such it must not only have great graphics and an addictive storyline (which it has both may I add), but it has to stick to some rules too...Has anyone ever played the SW RPG (the d20 one)? Well,if you had and then you played KotOR you'd be left with the sensation you get when you create a first level character in a session and then do everything you can to rule the galaxy...
I created a character based on my P&P character and enjoyed his progression through the game so much that after I've finished the game for the first time (with a Light Side male character) I went and played it three more times just to see the different plot twists and endings...It may be linear as some have said,but the thing is you don't know what will happen in the end like some other games...Even in DD you know what happens in the end (or you have suspicions about it),but all of you guys who are posting here have played it and loved it...Even Torment was linear from some point on,and Torment was the greatest RPG ever (or I think it is because I love Planescape <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />)
Anyways,I think that KotOR is the best there is right now (apart from BD) and KotOR II is on its way,so...'nuff said!!!

PS: And apart from all of that,it sure was better than Episodes I & II and added a huge load of info to the SW universe...It was the first time ever that a character (movie or otherwise) has walked the surface of Korriban... Glory to the Sith!!!
