Yeah, same here. Got messed up in my initial fight with him and all his pals, so for my reload I hung out on that wall next to where he was trapped and made them come up to me. Much easier fight that way haha
I had no idea there was a rebel situation and you can get allies during that fight, that's pretty neat
Oh hey I also have a bad left eye so I also prefer to sit on the left side if I can. I like to be more in the middle though, having the screen be most of my vision. I had to see Oppenheimer in the furthest row since that was all that was available at our screening and I felt like it took me out of the experience a bit being able to clearly see the borders.
Oh boy, I was so young playing kotor for the first time that when I hit the twist I literally thought it was some dark side trick until Bastila fessed up to knowing about it, lol. Definitely blew my mind.
As for Mass Effect, it really is such a great universe to get lost in. I wish I could relive that moment when I booted it up back when it first came out and heard the opening theme. It's such a moody tone setter.
