Three Things I Want in KOTOR Remake
Posted: Sat Sep 11, 2021 4:59 am
Since KOTOR Remake is confirmed to be a full on remake of the original game there are a couple of things I want in the game and while I would like to cover every major point I just want to focus on the things I want most.
One: A Proper Boss Battle with the Krayt Dragon
The Krayt Dragon in Star Wars Lore was always a bit of a let down for me. I never like any of the designs and felt that for a creature that was seen as the Apex Predator of Tatooine it didn't seem all that impressive and the original KOTOR was a real Anti-Climax for me. You see the Dragon, then it walks on a few mines and then it dies.
For the longest time I was always found the Krayt Dragon to be a huge let down. And then the Mandalorian came around and did a complete 180. The KD in the first episode of Season 2 was AMAZING. The new look of the monster (what little we saw of it) was AMAZING! THIS is what I wanted in a KD and the amount of effort it took to kill the thing was just fantastic and I would love to have something like that in a game.
I actually wouldn't mind a complete reboot of the Tatooine level in the game to be more like Star Wars Meets Jaws with the KD being the monster that threatens the town and because it's guarding the star map you agree to take it out and thus you and your party need to find a way to kill the beast. And like in Jaws and the Mandalorian episode we don't get a clear look at the monster until the second half of the mission and the first time we do see it we get to a real sense of scale for the monster and how in over our heads we are.
Two: Less Backtracking
This one is pretty obvious as it remains the most criticized part of the original game, having to back track most of the game is a real pain in the @$$ and it's at it's worse on the Water Planet so making it so there's less backtracking would be a HUGE plus.
And finally: More Romance Options
Not sure how BioWare would handle this but the original game only gave you two real romance options for male and female Revan and I never liked how the game just kinda assumes you're in love with either character given how it treats them. Juhani was... kinda a third option as she stated that she loved Fem-Revan and you can admit that you feel the same way and then it never comes up again. It would be nice if we could have other options like Canderous, and Zaalbar along with Bastila and Carth while also giving Juhani a fully fleshed out romance instead of just being kinda there.
Also, as both actors have played characters who were bisexual maybe have it where Bastila and Carth can be romance by either gender while Juhani and Canderous are both only available to female Revan and Zaalbar is male only.
I'm a romantic and I like it when games give you several options and even if I don't personally romance someone I'm likely going to enjoy watching it online.
Though I would like this to remain under the players control and not have characters just fall for you. Give us a flirt option that allows us to romance anyone we like what we've gotten in other games like Dragon Age and Witcher 3.
So, those are the three things I want most in the KOTOR Remake, what about you, what do you want to see in said remake?
