Playing through episode 1 felt incredibly nostalgic, it was as if I opened up an old save on Kotor and experienced a brand new chapter. Here are some of my take away's from the mod: 1. The devs used clever use of reskin's to existing and ported levels. While I do hope to see newer areas in future episodes (i.e. using cut modules from Kotor 1, Sleheyron, or even M4-78 ), the level design in the opening chapter was well executed and enjoyed exploring the content in these areas. 2. I particularly enjoyed the difficulty in the combat. Unlike previous games, it made me utilize consumables rather than continuing to spam Flurry on repeat. 3. Side quests were incredibly done and the inclusion of skill checks was impressive. Love the evolution of this from Kotor 2. 4. I really enjoyed how the story unfolds as it begins with a simple Jedi mission surrounded by intrigue to a more complex narrative. There are a few critiques I have with the writing (particularly the epilogue) but it is a great foundation that had me glued to the PC till I completed. 5. Music felt very much like Star Wars but more subdued. Use of existing tracks also were placed well, hopefully a few of the ambient themes from Kotor 1 can make an appearance in future expansions! Cant wait to hear more of the original tracks as episodes release. Glad to see you back at the helm @Logan23! Its great to see your work over the years, the passion from you and the team truly does come through in this release.

I just got done with my first run and like the others said it's a big step up from the old demo. I made a few notes while I was playing episode 1. 1.While I do miss parts of the old demo soundtrack especially the combat track (though I think I hear parts of it in one of the new ambient tracks) the new music is very good too. 2. It feels like we had more dialogue options in old demo though on the other hand there are more skill check options which I like. I also really like the addition of class dialogue too. 3. It would be nice once they are balance to the dev's team likeing that the species effects are listed somewhere outside the game. 4. I think there should be a side quest or two on Coruscant maybe serving as a quick optional tutorial to new or old players who haven't played in a while 5. The loading screens look great and both Coruscant Jedi Temple and Corellia looks good both in the retextures and imported object density. I especially love the colors of the plants in the Corellia jungle 6. I'm happy that you kept in the choice about the pc homeworld from the old demo however small of a thing it is. 7. I had a bit of a bug with the Exile gender. I picked female and Bao-Dur kept calling the Exile him. 8. I love how many different groups that are part of the story so far. 9. There was some hard fights though nothing that took me more then two tries. I was playing on difficult so I view this as a good thing. Both KOTOR were a bit too easy even on the highest difficulty. I have not tried the new difficulty options yet 10. I love the character models for the main villains

Big step up from the demo. Well done. Can't wait for episode 2.
