My quest to get SWTOR to work on linux has so far been unsuccessful, so I took a few-weeks long detour into something else. Namely, Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, which is apparently part 4 of the Jedi Knight series, but whatever, it worked well enough as a standalone. It's technically Windows only, but it's from 2003 and runs via Proton with zero tinkering on my part. I even get to put it on maximum graphics! Visually, it looks nicer than KOTOR 2, and it's got realtime lightsaber-waving combat! Not an RPG, though – I'd say third-person shooter except you spend most of the time waving around a lightsaber. The player character, Jaden Korr, can be customized somewhat, including gender and species selection. (Though the species choices are a bit ??? – we have human female and male, which are the standard typical choices and, eh, whatever, of course they're there, and then for female characters we have Twi'leks and Zabraks. Male characters have ... Rodians and Kel Dor. Now, Twi'leks being female-only is no huge surprise, but the nonhuman male options all being nonhumanoid was surprising. I'd have expected one of the options to be Zabrak there as well.) All in all, an enjoyable 19 hours of playtime.

Have some screencaps of my female Zabrak Jaden Korr, whose clothes and lightsaber are blue and who took up a saberstaff because I am very bad at video games and thought having two blades whizz around might help me not die like a chump that much.
