"Carth looks like he wants to talk"
I don't want to talk about it.
"Yeah what's on your mind?"
"Don't speak to Carth" You've chosen to ignore Carth, a smart decision on your part.
Oh no. Lol he's gonna whine again.
Dude was like a moody girlfriend fr. “I DONT WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT!” 😂
Stay out of our way citizen. We're on official Sith business just stand aside if you know what's good for you.
Lord Malak was most displeased when he learned you had escaped Taris alive....
thetwopointslow He has promised a great reward to whoever destroys you.
Artemis Arrow I'm cal Nordo i seen you in that swoop race and...
+Artemis Arrow The evil walks among us! The enemy is heree! We must act now before we're overrun by the vermin invaders!
*Carth voices his disapproval of bigotry*
Observation: This video appears to bring great feelings of nostalgia to those who have posted comments below.
Conclusive Statement: It seems Knight of the Old Republic is a form of media that has had a lasting impact on the meatbags' lives.
+Hunter Graham omg thank you xD
awsomenamehere Confused question: Why are you thanking me, meatbag?
Hunter Graham
you made my day with that observation
Commentary: One would think games should have far more academic recognition than the medium enjoys today. A consequence of a meatbag's preconceptions, no doubt.
Statement: What are you listening to, master? This seems quite soothing and calm, considering you are a bloodthirsty organic meatbag.
I remember walking out of my apartment to the upper city outside with this music in the background. I had to pause for a good minute and soak it all in. One of the most magical experiences in my life.
I know exactly what you mean. Good times!
Agreed, too bad there are very few games now that give this experience. When Bioware was good.
I remember the first time I played KOTOR, I was 13 years old and it was late summer. Really good times.
IRL, or in-game? 😉
Always nice to be in the upper city, away from the shlummies.
HeY lOoK EveRYboDY!! iT's tHe SHITTHHH....
Anotherbloodyfanwriter WHATS THIS PLANET COMING TO *hiccup*
@@viciousrage5548 great we're fighting the drunks now man do they stink
Don’t forget where you came from you schmuck!
A drink? Heyheyhey, this shlummie ain't so bad after all
R.I.P. people of Taris...
Never forget
And all gizka's...
This RPG had balls. You solved the problems of the people of Taris then the Sith destroyed the planet. Damn!
Where were u wen Taris die
i was at ebon hawk smoking death stick when phone ring
Taris is kil
no
@@RaizenToguro save for Zelka, Gadon and his Beks and of course, Matrik
And the Janitor, never forget
[Carth wants to talk to you.]
[Bastilla wants to talk to you.]
I can imagine a Sith trooper coming really close to the screen and say: " You got permits to film here, Citizen?" >:[
Official Sith business. Stay out of the way if you know what’s good for you!
Kotor had such a good sound design, especially when it came to ambience. Jeremy Soule is also a fucking legend.
I prefer pretty much everything about KOTOR 2, even the soundtrack, but the game does have phenomenal ambience.
@@iratepirate3896 agreed and mark griskey made such an impactful melancholy soundtrack with such a uniquely genuine vibe
@Jeff Frye Cope, seethe, dilate
@Jeff Frye lmao. Just came by this comment. I have to agree. Gameplay was better but everything else was worse.
@@robertstockton4497 Kotor 1 was Star Wars. Kotor 2 was philosophical Star Wars. Both are amazing.
I always thought this was such a relaxing scene. The music, the sunset, the sounds of the distant ship engines. Just a real "everything's going to be fine" feel.
+Percy Danvers Unnnntill the city gets blown up.... XD
Listen to and see ambience for Elder Scrolls Morrowind. Same music artist, jeremy Soule.
@@NinjaGrimm666 I had a suspicion, it all sounded very familiar
and then shit gets real
@@NinjaGrimm666 as well as skyrim, and neverwinter knights
graphics didn't matter. it still all felt so real to us. amazing.
YUP!
"Oh! There is a moving ship in the background! :O "
The atmosphere is indescribable, it's something I haven't felt in a lot of newer games. It really made me feel like I was there, even though it looked kinda ass lol.
Should be noted, the graphics were cutting edge at the time. This would have blown people away lol
But yeah. Still to this day, this is one of the most “city feeling” cities in all of gaming
@@ciontachthecthonicchampion3576 Yeah I was gonna say I remember experiencing being blown away how shiny and amazing everything looked. At the time it looked so real. That’s why it’s nostalgic to listen to this again.
I remember the first time I played through taris and it had so many side quests and I thought I could do them later after I get my ship. But then I was like "oh"
same
Oh man, the only quest I failed to accomplish was that duel with Starkiller. I hope that bastard died in the hellstorm.
I got a dark side point for killing him (of course the duel is to the death so I had no choice), the only one I remember getting the whole campaign. Afterwards, if you speak to the people at the bar, they tell you what a harsh dude you were for killing him.
what is Galen Marek doing in KOTOR?
Bendak Starkiller. This is before Force unleashed was a thing.
When I first saw Taris, my mind exploded. It's so beautiful.
The Upper City is beautiful, the Lower City is badass and the Under City is a toxic wasteland.
So much good memories , before the dark times , before Disney
I love Taris: its the closest thing you get to Coruscant in this universe.
was*
Coruscant existed then
what do you mean in this universe, coruscant does exist in this universe. Its referenced multiple times and I imagine the only reason it has not been visited is because Its so far within the inner rim.
What about Nar Shaddaa?
And thus why knights of the old republic will stand as one of the greatest video games of all time. with this music, this atmosphere, you are there. A starry-eyed adventurer set on a path to change the galaxy. thank you for posting this.
@Jeff Frye That´s not true. The majority of the Fans absolutely love both of the Games. They are both in nice contrast to each other and really complete and enrichen the SW Universe. KOTOR 1 with an extremely well written but more generic Star Wars, KOTOR 2 with a more unique,darker and more mature Star Wars. Together they result in the greatest pieces of Star Wars we have and probably will ever see, playing KOTOR 2 before KOTOR 1 is shitty anways. You need the 1st game for the 2nd game, otherwise your backstory and all the references don´t make any sense
@Jeff Frye though I admit that KOTOR II was great for allowing levels past 20, the cross-class Skill feats and the more Jedi Powers, it would not be that great of a game without KOTOR I, should had not existed The Sith Lords would have never been born
Gustavo Ramos Plascencia
What kind of idiotic method of grading a game is that?
Games like K1 and 2 are memorable for something other than the stupid level cap.
You know what's even better? SWTOR.
@@thareinpotuhera5255 yep, amazing!
Hey you kids, leave that alien alone!
Can't wait to experience Taris in the remake, I hope they manage to capture the original's atmosphere.
Imagine humans colonizing a planet somewhere in the galaxy, and building a worldwide city such as Taris'... Living there is a dream.
Except for, y'know, all the racism, elitism, hard as shit corporal punishments and the zombies running around the sewers. Other than that, hunky dory.
+DolfyDoo 2Spook lmao
I hope you all enjoy this video! It's the first of many new ones to come
Thank you so much for this. The soundtrack is amazing in its own, but music isn't just instrumentation, it's any organised sound, and this shows how much sounds other than common instruments can add to the music. The clinking of the droids, the zooming of the passing ships, the beeps of computer panels, and the low chattering of people and the tapping footsteps are so lulling even though they paint the picture of a busy city. Depression and anxiety have been two giant pains of my adult life, but these ambient videos get me through the hard times and help mellow me out when I'm at my worst. What I would give to experience this game for the first time again.
I always smile whenever I hear the clanking feet of the protocol droid. It only gets close enough to the camera every once in a while. On most of my KOTOR playthroughs over the years I get bored around the 2nd or 3rd planet. But I always love playing through Taris. Bioware was on fire when they made this game, my all time fav.
The atmosphere is absolutely amazing. I'd be going back to this place all the time... thanks Malak...
PauLtus B Malak: ruining your memories
1M0RTAL_CH1CKEN
Absolutely.
So relaxing. The Upper City seemed peaceful and orderly - but it was a mask. The was darkness there, moreso further down into the depths of Taris you went. And seeing Malak destroy the planet for the first time was just chilling to watch
Perfect Star Wars ambience. Milling crowd noise, ships buzzing overhead, the soft woosh of the wind, droids clanking about....perfect ^_^
Listening to this gives me that warm feeling I had in my heart when I first picked this game up as a boy all those years ago. Sometimes when I walk out of my apartment in the city to go to work I play this music over my headset. It's very surreal. Here's hoping one day we can return to this. Another golden age of Star Wars content. God knows we need one right about now.
It's cool to see other people do things like this too. Just when you think a kindred spirit doesn't exist, such a comment restores hope.
@@btimur1
You're welcome
This is perfect for me. I put this when I feel lonely in my appartment, and it brings some "life" around me. So relaxing.
@MattDavis_hokie14 9 years later for both of you lol
I remember being a kid and walking around this place for hours on a laggy 2000s PC, a memory i'll never forget
My favorite planet in the game (though I also loved the missions on Korriban.) It's a shame all of these people died tragic deaths though, lol. The nostalgia for KotOR never gets old.
Reminder that Taris is now canon.
Thank You Rogue One. :)
Really? Finally some good news. :)
what did Rogue One mention about Taris? I must have missed that
Jmgjgdjd5 not movie directly, but visual novel to it, mention that this black senator is from Taris
how can anyone live on that planet though?
There should be more Star Wars games like this... great memories of KOTOR, I have. I'm hoping that I will soon get to play it again.
Well with today announcement on a remake coming I'm really hoping that they leave the city themes alone or at least keep it sounding similar but have a subtle enhancement on it. The ambiance of KOTOR cities was something else
"We cannot stand idly by while this pox invades our society!"
the way this aged-
“Out of our way citizen. We’re on official Sith business here.”
Taris is my favorite planet I find it beautiful ,ethereal and aerial ,so graceful ,it's unique .
Star Wars Knights Of The Old Republic means a lot to me and holds a special place in my heart for all time
Man this put a smile on my face
"Anything more boring than going out on patrol, ah I shouldn't have complained"
Taris really is the Coruscant of the Outer Rim
aidan davis *was
man that hour goes by quick
There’s something about this music that takes me to another world…anyone else feel the same? Maybe we’ve been to such a place, in another life… ✨🌟✨
Peaceful upper city life, the theme did really well to convey that feel. Kinda brings you in a mellow mood.
"I wonder if any of those Republic space pods survived crash landing in the Undercity?"
Sound design, music design, that's what brings everything to life.
This is my favourite Place/Video of all time, i always come back here to experience True Happiness
I love that you included Visuals with these. Miss this game.
Wow this is brilliant, I really feel like I'm on Holiday in Taris' Upper Level. These worlds have been a home away from home for many players and their ambience is hypnotic. Thank you for these videos!
You are certainly right about the ambience being hypnotic. The memories of playing these older 2000s games provide such a powerful nostalgic feeling :)
This soundscape and the color palette is just so nice. Feel's like you're at home
What happened to the golden age of gaming where there was games such as KOTOR i know there's no multiplayer but is there really need? seeing hundreds of people running around , no we need peaceful games like this also the plot and music of this game is so good you gotta say that they put a lot of effort into this but lets see this game may take like some months to finish but for a high graphic game like COD:Advanced warfare ( btw its the worst game you will ever play ) took like years for it to finish just compare HD games to these games you will see a HUGE difference
i played kotor for th first time last year and right awy i sensed,. this gme is old yes but there is a lot of love and work put into this. you can see quality a mile away
Yeah Multiplayer isn't everything, In a way I'm getting sick of playing with other poeple. They draw me back into the real world with their attitudes and profanity and sexual orientation bashing.
agreed. precisely why I left most shooter/MOBA games. damn, community is toxic as hell. people speaking shit outta their minds as stress relief for whatever BS is going on their real lives...
You can appreciate the strength of both types of games. KOTOR is well made and beautiful for nostalgia, yes, but I also appreciate being able to interact with other Star Wars fans in an MMO.
It is All money nowadays
Tons of DLC
Battlefront games from almost 2 decades ago are as great as the Battlefront from EA, if not greater than
I still play both kotor 1 and 2 o PC. This game never gets old for me. Like the Witcher 3.
I need to play this game!
I find it very curious how time and evolving technology changes our perception of games. I remember playing KotOR when it was relatively new, and Taris felt like this massive, bustling city with all these people around and full of all these buildings. Nowadays it just feels like a dozen or so rooms connected by large corridors with a few NPCs walking up and down. KotOR has aged very well, but there are things like that (in it and a lot of older games) that newer games have spoiled forever.
Sound design isn't something you think about unless it's really, really good. Thsnks for putting this together, I had no idea these kind of TH-cam videos existed.
Ahhh... the memories that come from this simple ambiance. Thank you for uploading!
It sounds slightly different when you are in one of the stores or "under" the building (where the elevator and the entrance to Keblas store is). The background I mean not the music.
god frikken dang this game was so amazing to me in my childhood, i cant believe this game is almost 20 years old now. wow how time flies.
The music in Kotor is unbelievable. This song is like nostalgia on tap. I feel like I’m drowning I’m so overwhelmed with nostalgia listening to this
I got SO lost in this city, but now I know it off by heart
I love anyone who finds some sort of happy place or relaxing feeling from these 💖🥰 your not alone ❤
Dash Star recommended your channel.... LOVE IT!!!!!!!
+Aaron Kuffel Thanks a bunch man!
+H0wlrunn3r no problem, I love this type of ambient sound.....
This is pure spirituality, i am crying every time i hear this theme, so nostalgic, emotional...
What is thish planet coming to, huh? [hic] Shlummies walkin' around the Upper City!
So many memories of getting lost here 😂 but the music was so good I didn’t care
This will be nice to fall asleep to.
Thanks! It was so fun to play this game. Declaration: This is a wonderful reference to compare with its current condition in SWTOR.
Simply amazing! Relaxes me and takes me back to middle school when i spent hours playing this game! miss those day... So atmospheric
Listened to this bad boy whilst applying for jobs post-uni! Thanks for the upload.
The way you used footage from the game, just awesome!
“What do you want? I’ve just finished a long shift and I’m tired.”
Howl, thank you so much for posting these.
No problem at all! I really want to get around to doing the kotor w ones
Taris? Oh its like any city planet. Lots of Motion. Droids rolling along, People walking about, and Speeder racing across the sky. The Corporate world smashing into your own and the injustices that come with having skyscrapers block the nearest stars. But even so I'd sooner visit her than Coruscant. Why? Well...its going to sound silly. I feel Taris has a better soul than Coruscant. Like she's seen more and felt more than that Planet guarded within the core worlds. Her lights have faded and her steel mountains are mostly empty but she's still proof that that if you can make it in the outer rim you can make it anywhere.
My gosh this is brilliant :D Nostalgia, fond memories, that little tug on my heart that reminds me of the beauty of this story :) Well done my good sir or madam! You are awesome and tysvm :D
My god, what a good time it was for Star Wars fans.
You are so gracious for uploading these. Thank you. (And your avatar rocks.)
Man it was so amazing as a child to enter this area for the first time . The beautiful graphics/city, the NPCs walking around, vehicles flying rhough the air making noise. This was the first time a video game world ever felt so alive to me. This game is a classic IMO , i really need to get my hands on an xbox so i can play it with the old controller scheme i played with as a kid.
Statement: I have detected large amounts of nostalgia within the area. Apparently this event has caused a large impact on people's lives.
10/10, i love listening to this in the background either in games that dont have a nice atmosphere or while im writing or studying. :D
So cozy
U know what? It would be nice to have it as a 360 experience )))
This is really really cool! Thank you for doing this :)
These are awesome. Thanks a lot for that!
Thank you so much for giving us a live background as well!!! Omg you are amazing. This is exactly what I was looking for!!!!!!
Say whatever you want, but SWTOR really captured the vibe of a multiple leveled metropole planet 400 years after its destruction.
If the remake of this game actually comes out, I really hope it does the original the justice it deserves
Well with a remake being announced we'll now wait and see
@@JezzaWezza i know I'm so stoked!
Feelers punching me in the gut. Oh man.. I miss good star wars games and movies. 😩
"Weeeeelcome to the Equipment Emporium! Now because of the Sith quarantine..."
learned english from this game. also i have to say how awesome this planet is as u get to explore all the levels of this world and then it all get destroyed in the most awesome was i can think of while you just barely escape.
I love all the sounds and ships. With the music
Whoever did this, hats off to ya!
Thank you!
I listen to this music while I work. Music brings me comfort ^_^`
Thank you very much for providing so much positive vibe with this video.
+RENOVATIO It's been my pleasure! I have had so many wonderful memories and made some good friends through the years because of this game and this is the best way I can think of to give back to this unique group of people that is the KOTOR fandom :D
Beautiful
Thank you soooo much! Great to study intergalactic medicine to :)
Let me just say making those videos was a great fucking idea, and it's great to see how many of us also got how ambient this game could be. It sure was great it all other respects, but a game in which you can stop and soak in the vibe of the environment, is really something special I hope we keep seeing in the future.
this game / music makes me so happy
Watching this in 2020. I still remember playing this for the first time when I was in elementary school and being just blown away by everything! I'm 25 now and I was so desperate to play this again to see if that magical feeling would be the same that I installed it on my PC during quarantine. It's still amazing but the pc controls are much harder & now I remember why I could never finish this game. It's surprisingly very hard for a Star Wars game!! lol
Juhani: A whole planet gone, because of you and your beloved Bastilla
Still one of the best rps
When playing this game, I counted how many hours it takes to get through Taris. 8 hours and something minutes total. I was glad when I reached Dantooine. New planet, new landscape, just new everything. But I've always loved the upper city of Taris. So peaceful. :)
the feels..
