Thanks for watching! I hope I did the Twi'leks some justice, though making up an accent based on the in game Huttese instead of French dialect (I think) they used in Clone Wars was tricky. Also, as I knew Bolook knew who was guilty, I decided to play him like a trolling mischievous Yoda in ESB... however, he came across a little less troll and more ... zesty.

i remember when i first played this game in grade school and encountering this quest, i was stumped. i took intensive notes that i studdied for days outside of my gaming sessions. after many hours of thinking, 10 year old me felt confident she new the answer and i was so overjoyed to have gotten it correct
This unlocked a core memory: of much younger me not really understansing what was happening, getting fed up and accusing them both just to find that was the right thing to do... Really appreciate this video! Can't wait for more KoToR stuff!
I too may have skipped thsi quest a bit til I was reading an article on top 10 kotor sidequests & it made it on the list, so I went and revisted. Also, cheers!
@DarkLOREDash would you ever consider looking at Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy? Not sure if you've ever played it, but again, its another core childhood game back when we had brilliant Star Wars games and I think you'd enjoy it. I mean, I've played it to death but I'd definately watch your break down on it!
These quests were some of my favorites in the game. Especially the “Hatfield/Mackoy” style quest is amazing. Your voice acting has made it much more enjoyable and I have noticed it has improved greatly and I love it. I would not have the patience to do the research and editing you have done so hats off to you! Thanks mate!
God how i missed ur kotor content ... if u did elder scrolls 5 content as well .... i cant describe how estatic id be ... but Kotor is my fav on your channel ... thank you for coming back to it! :3
Love your additional voicing!! I drive a lot for work, and so being able to purely listen to this has been a godsend! Love your story analysis so this was a great hour to listen to!
@DarkLOREDash discovered your channel just about two years ago and I deeply enjoy your content. The Oblivion stuff, KOTOR, and the surprise of Soul Reaver have all been a blast. Infrequent commenter but I felt compelled to let you know!
Hi Dash. Thanks for the Kotor video, Dash. Always nice to watch some Kotor, narrated by you, with your personal touch, like the Bolook speak basic, instead of Huttese. Thanks for taking the effort, for the multiple paths and endings of this quest. I remember having a bit of trouble with this quest, the first time, not fully understanding that both were guilty. In another playthrough, I did managed to get to the bottom of this investigation, and find the truth. Have a good day and one. The same to everyone. Cheers.
Actually only got around to playing the first KOTOR quite recently, and I loved this quest. The one thing that immediately jumped out to me about Handon that I was very surprised was never brought up by any of the characters is that Handon was said to be running on foot and unarmed in a place confirmed to be swarming with dangerous animals and mercenaries. He should obviously have been killed long ago if that's a regular thing he does, so it threw me a bit when nobody seemed to acknowledge this and I had to start looking for other evidence.
That us very astute! That and his supposed corpulence would make him a slow target. Actually, I wonder if the kath hounds and Iriaz were peaceful until the dark side tainted the nearby Grove or starmap area 🤔
I like this quest, not only because it's quite fun to puzzle out but also because it illuminates the frustrating priorities of the jedi. Taris was just pulverized, the quest for the star forge is of utmost importance... and this is what you're asked to do. You understand those who left for the mandalorian wars better when this is what jedis do while the galaxy burns. Simple police work.
I found this quest to be quite interesting if a bit frustrating with advancing certain dialogue points. Mostly with getting to examine the blaster wound on Handon. The writing might be simple but it seems very realistic to me. Not every quest needs be a grand epic, just satisfying.
I actually really like this quest. It was reminiscent of the good adventure games like Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis where you had to find out what each dialogue option does with a lot of save scumming.
The fact that all of these different species, with completely different cultures, tended to repeat the same Non-Basic phrases and your character could translate them all into core subtitles was such Mucha Shaka Paka. I miss when BioWare had language geeks create their own klingon you could hear character speak in.
This isn't lazy writing, it's meant to be an example of the "Prisoner's Dilemma" from Game Theory, the mathematically concept, not the channel, though they've talked about it too.
Veilguard is fine but it’s just not dragon age at least not to me anyways but I think it’s an over exaggeration I’ve been seeing all over social media. I would temper your expectations for KOTOR remake since it’s been in absolute development hell since it was announced and being transferred from one studio to another I have very little hopes on it and it’s been a pretty long time since there was even an update on it.
@@DarkLOREDash ...and now I need to play KOTOR again. Thanks! (Seriously: I never would have thought to do that...and while I like the *idea* of this quest, it just drags on forever, and completely breaks the flow of the questing on the planet.)
I loved the differnt video topic, and have a constructive critisism to suggest: You dont have to repeat the same line about 15 times of "what makes you believe this" since it stays the same and doesnt add to the experience
I love your videos and your great narration. I did find this a bit hard to watch. In fact I cut from about 6:00 to 1:00:00 out. But then again, I'm in the "hate the quest" camp so I suppose I'm not the best person to comment on this. Sorry!
@ being a bit overweight myself, all I could think at the moment was those responses should bug me but they don’t, they amuse me and the way you read them just made them funnier

Good choice in doing a voice over for the twiilek, and thanks for the hard work
@@genetash8604 Thank you, my pleasure!
@@DarkLOREDash I always skip the twilek in game dialogue because of how repetitive it is. Luckily I can speed read
You know a twi'lek's going to say something important when they hit you with the Achutaaaa right out of the gate
Achuuuta. Glad to see you are covering KOTOR as well as Oblivion.
playing KOTOR games solely for the reason to hear alien language over and over again

By far, my most favorite quest in all of KotOR, extremely glad you came back with this banger.

Mr D Siler you are, as always, far too kind!!
What an interesting coincidence, i just started a new playthrough of KOTOR II yesterday and now i see this in my sub box
Bros back to KOTOR 1. LETS GO!!
I just bought KOTOR for the first time a couple weeks ago!! Such a cool game, love listening to you bring them to life.
aw hell yeah. DLD KotOR content. We're so back.
Accents on point, great voices, and great emotion... Yall should be a VA for sure 😀
Wow, thank you! I was very nervous on how long I could carry poor Bolook! Appreciate the kind words 🙏
That's a yes from me😊❤
I hope you'll cover Sunry's Murder Trial in the future, as that quest and this one are two of my favourites.
God how i missed ur kotor content ... if u did elder scrolls 5 content as well .... i cant describe how estatic id be ... but Kotor is my fav on your channel ... thank you for coming back to it! :3
No, thank you!
Yes! Kotor videos! i would love full lore series like done with Diablo vids :D
Love your additional voicing!! I drive a lot for work, and so being able to purely listen to this has been a godsend! Love your story analysis so this was a great hour to listen to!
Thank you, Wizard! Was unsure how it would land so, means a lot

Heya Samus, always great to see you on the channel. I too got frustrated with this quest, back in the day 😂
Listening to it while working on my KOTOR Trailer video. :)
Glad I’m not the only one replaying KOTOR right now 😂

Eyy man. I dig the new style mystery/multiple outcome content. (oblivion aficionado here) I'll be here for more of this.
Thank you, Kevin!
My favorite games, please more long kotor videos ❤
Already can't wait for you to break down the matale-sandral feud. I've found 4 endings if I remember correctly. Some actually made me laugh.
Oh, that's badass. One of the few quests I glazed over
Amazing Video as always. Hopefully they keep all these quests in the KOTOR remake. Can't wait for more updates on that
Thank you kindly!
I actually really like this quest. It was reminiscent of the good adventure games like Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis where you had to find out what each dialogue option does with a lot of save scumming.
I always loved this quest.
Thank you for covering my two favorite games.
My pleasure 🙏
Oh yeah! Star wars KOTOR vids are back, and we get an hour long one to celebrate!
games still an all time banger really hope a new company picks up the remake and release it on all platforms
I'm so glad you read the dialogue 😅
The fact that all of these different species, with completely different cultures, tended to repeat the same Non-Basic phrases and your character could translate them all into core subtitles was such Mucha Shaka Paka. I miss when BioWare had language geeks create their own klingon you could hear character speak in.
Hated this as a kid
Love it as an adult
IF
Kotor was missing anything it'd be more opportunities to feel like a Jedi Councilor ❤
My favorite quest of the early game
Thanks! A job well done! I love your videos, man! Keep it up!
Mate, you are too kind!! Thank you
A KotOR video? A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
TOR Ports: Handon's Enhanced Waistline mod by DarthParametric is amazing for this quest
AMAZING!!
both were gonna off him, calling it now
Wait... is Bolook a reference to Detective Bullock from Batman?
Dang it! Gonna get me playing KOTOR again lol
Fantastic video
Thank you, Nate!
I could only imagine the bugs that might be sitting behind a dialogue choice or three in this dialogue-heavy quest.
Actually I've done it every way. Haven't run into any. A very stable quest
"But thats just a theory...A MURDER THEORY! THANKS FOR KILLING! *salutes*"
34:28 Totally not a "Game Theory" reference lol
Just seeing who's 'attuned' 🤪
ACHUUUTA
This isn't lazy writing, it's meant to be an example of the "Prisoner's Dilemma" from Game Theory, the mathematically concept, not the channel, though they've talked about it too.
Thank you for the insight!!
Can’t wait to see the remake of KOTOR 1
Hopefully not the same crap as Veiguard
Veilguard is fine but it’s just not dragon age at least not to me anyways but I think it’s an over exaggeration I’ve been seeing all over social media.

Achuuutaaa bligo blago blogo
Seriously though, I just cribbed the dialogue off the internet because I just couldn't be bothered working it out again.
2:10 Me: Yes Bye! lol
Can we have a sunray trill
Achutaah.
...wait, he only talks to you if you're playing as the party leader? So all I have to do to avoid this quest is to walk around him as my companions?
Correct

I hate this quest. For me it's the worst one ever.
Here I am with zero urge to know the particulars of SWKOTOR beyond the overarching storyline :D edit: and wait. is.. is that an American accent? :D
Haha yes to match a certain protagonists accent later down the line
Im here for anything interestin
Hi
heya
I’m starting to think the main character has a bias against fat people
Right?? After I got on camera and ppl kindly pointed out I put on weight, it was cathartic to play pretend I was ripped Revan against chonky Handon 🤣

Very interesting to see woth this game and I enjoyed it! And with the companions responses xD
