Star Wars: KotOR Wins Best Graphics in an RPG

RPGDot has announced the winner of their “Best Graphics in an RPG” for 2003, and the award goes to Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. An excerpt:

KotOR features some excellent graphics that create an authentic Star Wars environment. Players will visit a wide variety of beautifully rendered locations from desert Tatooine to the heavily forested Wookie world of Kashyyyk, each with their unique traits. Character models are generally good and the combat animation with its choreographed lightsaber swordplay is undoubtedly a highlight for many players. The facial animation isn’t perfect, the face models re-used a little too often and the lighting system lacks some features but particularly on the PC with resolutions up to 1600 x 1200, KotOR was one of the best looking RPGs last year.

Additionally, Gothic 2 took second place and Morrowind: Bloodmoon took third place.
