      Mandalorian warriors from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (KotOR) 1 and 2. Some of the best Star Wars story (being my personal favorite) with CRPG/dice roll gameplay heavily focused on light and dark side influence mechanics.

      Interestingly enough, I’m on my second playthrough of KotOR 2 over the last few weeks and now memes of it are showing up in All.

      The first KotOR is actually being remade! It was mired in development hell there for a bit, and it could just as easily be canceled with all the layoffs, but I’m holding out hope

      It’s Mandalorians from the game Knights of the Old Republic.

      Kotor 1 is great. Kotor 2 has a better story but worse gameplay.

      Great games if you like RPG’s. Graphics will be dated unless you use mods.

        Lol what? Kotor 2 didn’t even finish it’s story. They went and had epilogue text to finish the damn thing. And had the better gameplay of the two.

          The epilogue finished the story but did so without gameplay- which is a bad game ending.

          The gameplay itself was bad compared to Kotor 1. Puzzles were “go here get key” whereas Kotor 1 had you decoding hexadecimal to break the security on a computer. Fighting on Kotor 2 added the complication of “forms” but the different forms didn’t do anything significant to combat ( when you get forms it’s mid game so an extra +1 for switching to a particular form when your gear gives +10 is pointless.) By the second half all battles could be won with spamming force wave.

            I don’t know how you can claim the story was better when the main antagonist has no backstory or personality. He’s literally just a guy in a mask, who pulls a Galactus. They made up all kinds of non Star warsy shit the force does in that game.

              The main antagonist wasn’t really Nihilus. You defeat him like 3/4 into the game. The story was really Kreia and the meaning of not being light side or dark side.

      That’s Mandalorian armor from the Old Republic era (~5000 years prior to the original Star Wars trilogy)
