Star Wars Fans Pitch KOTOR Challenge Runs From No Force Abilities To Unarmed Only
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic was an instant classic, going down as one of the greats when it launched in 2003. Now, almost 20 years later, it still has a dedicated following - one that has blasted through the tale of Revan too many times to count.

Maybe stick with Mission and Zaalbar for as much of the game as possible." This goes a long way to go against exactly what the game wants you to do, as BioWare does all it can to make the player a Jedi force user.
