[46515] The gaming community discusses the experience of playing The Old Republic as a single-player title

The guide for newcomers to The Old Republic: From MMO to a personal experience

In a series of discussions that took place online on May 2, 2026, the issue of the possibility of playing the veteran MMO 'The Old Republic' as a single-player role-playing game (RPG) was raised. According to wesleytypes, a user who wanted to try the game to follow key characters like Revan and HK-47, there is a lot of curiosity surrounding the plot that continues 'Knights of the Old Republic 2'.

In response to the question of whether it is possible to enjoy the game without forced social interaction, users identified with the gaming community noted that the experience is very similar to a single-player RPG, but one that allows communication with others if necessary. According to wesleytypes, the game is described as one where "It's pretty much just a single player RPG that you can communicate with people on".

Regarding the choice of storyline, conflicting recommendations were noted among the commenters. While n7ciri recommended starting on the Imperial side ("Empire Side First") due to the plots being more successful in their opinion, with an emphasis on the Sith Inquisitor and the Imperial Agent, a different opinion among the community suggested a different approach. According to PigtailsW6713, anyone looking for the narrative experience related to the character of Revan should focus specifically on the Jedi Knight path.
