I’m curious what you thought was terrible about KOTOR’s gameplay. It was pretty much D20 star wars (I can’t remember if d20 was the ffg or the other company’s) with the computer rolling the dice, and D20 games are pretty neat.
The “make the decisions and then spend five minutes watching them play out” thing was the main frustration with that one. Maybe it feels intuitive and natural for someone who grew up with tabletop RPGs, but for someone more used to roguelikes and JRPGS it felt like the feedback loop was too long.
