STAR WARS Knights Of The Old Republic

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is an RPG video game series, based on an earlier comic book series, and with a subsequent new comic book series, all based on the fictional universe of Star Wars by George Lucas. Both series act as prequels to the video games. With the discarding of the Expanded Universe on April 25, 2014 and rebranding it as Star Wars Legends, KotOR multimedia project is the only remaining source that continues to produce Legends information. The game's system is based on Wizards of the Coast's Star Wars Roleplaying Game, which is based on the d20 role-playing game system derived from the Third Edition Dungeons & Dragons rules. While each round's duration is a fixed short interval of real time, the player can configure the combat system to pause at specific events or at the end of each round. The alignment system tracks actions and speech – from simple word choice to major plot decisions – to determine whether the player's character aligns with the light or dark side of the Force. However, the player has influence over their companions in The Sith Lords, the player's actions determining not only what side the player is on, but their teammates as well. The influence the player has on another character can be minor, from converting a character from the dark side to the light, to something as major as teaching them the ways of the Jedi themselves. The new colors include silver, cyan, and orange. Along with new lightsabers are new classes: "Gray Jedi," who tend to follow their own path as far as the Force is concerned rather than obeying the light or dark side. Lastly, a new type of lightsaber is introduced: the short lightsaber. This weapon is different from the longer lightsaber as it is easier to wield, making it more suitable for the off hand and inflicting less damage. In MMO The Old Republic there are eight player classes, each four assigned to one of two faction: Galactic Republic or Sith Empire. Include, for example, Dantooine and Korriban, the locations for the Jedi Academy and the Sith Academy, respectively; aboard the Star Forge space station where the final battle between master and apprentice takes place in KotOR; and war-ravaged Telos and its orbiting Citadel Station. The game opens with the player's character – whom the player can customize to be either male or female, though the character is canonically male – awakening aboard a doomed Republic capital ship with no recollection of his past. To accomplish this, the main character and his companions search for Star Maps that together reveal the location of the Star Forge, an ancient space station that creates massive amounts of material for Malak. The main character's actions and speech influence whether he aligns with the light or dark side of the Force.
