Some of you may not know this classic game series. I would not be surprised but saddened as you have lost out on great experiences. Bioware's Knights of the Old Republic's (KOTOR) first release was in 2003 and the second one in 2004. What made me, and other people, hold these games in high regards was definitely the story. Whilst you were forced into certain choices, most of what happened in the playthrough was your decision. You wanted to be the (almost) comically evil person destroying everything he touches?

My posts from now on will be more future concerned than the current one which focused on content currently present as compared to a rumoured or confirmed one. This post's purpose was to encourage thinking of progress within the gaming industry and, for those new to gaming as a hobby, to instill curiosity.
