Nearly two decades ago, BioWare shook in the role-playing game (RPG) landscape using the release of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic on the initial Xbox. Like never before players were thrown into an adventure set 4,000 years before the events of the films. Players traveled the galaxy gaining party members, uncovering mysteries, and honing their connection to the Force all to defeat the sinister Dark Lord from the Sith, Dark Malak.
Whether the gamer was to function as the hero or villain from the story remained for their choice as their decisions and moral aliment shaped the fate from the galaxy. Following the success of Knights from the Old Republic on Xbox, the groundbreaking RPG would go on to influence beloved franchises Jade Empire, Mass Effect, and Dragon Age while spawning a franchise of their own with a sequel and also the basis for the massively online player role-playing game Star Wars: The Old Republic.
