lol yeah. Jade Empire doesn’t have a nostalgia value to me like KOTOR, so when I dipped my toes in when it was free or something I couldn’t get stuck in.
I played it years and years ago and I sort of liked it, but most of what I liked about it was the aesthetics and idea of the setting rather than the game itself
I’m really afraid to revisit this one. I remember liking it when it came out, but I don’t know how possibly racist it was. I remember some of the people having the KotOR-style repeated alien voice lines in a made up language
Yeah, I understand reusing lines in a made up language to cut voice acting costs, but it felt a little like the way some English speakers stereotype non-European languages.
It’s a little uncomfortable with space aliens, but pretty with a fake language clearly referencing east Asian languages.
I can still hear KOTOR’s alien voice lines in my head.
As for Jade Empire, it just left me wanting for an actual wuxia RPG instead of the supermarket spring roll vibe it had, like you can see how cool it could be

The fake not-Chinese language was a really weird choice
