2 pointsPlaying 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.

2 pointsI 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

2 pointsThe lightsabers themselves, are fantastic. Couldn't ask for more (aside from what Obisoln said). The spawn locations, however, completely and utterly destroy this mod. You put a lightsaber, on Taris. Not only that, you put it in an area where we can get it, before we even have Bastila in the party. Just put it on the body of the Jedi on the Endar Spire why don't ya? (Just because I don't doubt that you might, that was a joke. Don't take it seriously.) Dantooine is nearly as bad. You JUST received the ability to even use a lightsaber, and oops, here's a lightsaber that's way better than the lightsaber that you just built that's supposed to be yours for life, AND it's before you even have access to crystals. The others aren't that horrific, but they're still awful. The back of the landing pad. Are you serious? I shouldn't have to explain this one. Kashyyyk's isn't half bad, but it's not even in the Lower Shadowlands. Sorry if this is coming off as harsh, but dude, this is not good. If I was going to place the sabers somewhere, the Lily goes in the Terentatek's belly on Kashyyyk. The Evenstar goes in the footlocker of the Sith Master on Manaan. The Sceptre goes either in the inventory of the Storyteller or the back of the Krayt Dragon's lair on Tatooine. And of course the Righteous Hand goes on Duron Qel-Droma's body in the back of the Shyrack cave on Korriban. As it stands now, as far as anyone that cares about balance or theme (basically anyone that isn't modding MP5s in the game) is concerned, this mod is unusable. Which is deeply sad and frustrating at the same time.

1 pointHey Guys, great work on this! I liked the attention to detail in the dialogue options, the news channels, and the worldbuilding from the NPCs. Love Master Drayden's character too. For any players who haven't played yet, I found a fun tactic of equipping my melee fighters with poison masks and then having my ranged fighter toss poison grenades in to weaken enemies. I want to do a couple more playthroughs of this to see all the options play out. As you probably know, the dialogue needs some line edits for grammar and stuff like that, but I'm sure you'll get to that in future mods. Reach out if there is anything I can do to help you with further testing or feedback. Keep up the good work! Edit: After writing this review from my Sentinel Non-Canon Playthrough, I did a Consular Canon Play through. I realized I missed the whole cantina section on my first time, I didn't even know it was there.
