    I'm really afraid to revisit this one. I remember liking it when it came out, but I don't know how possibly racist it was. I remember some of the people having the KotOR-style repeated alien voice lines in a made up language

        Yeah, I understand reusing lines in a made up language to cut voice acting costs, but it felt a little like the way some English speakers stereotype non-European languages.

        It's a little uncomfortable with space aliens, but pretty yikes-1yikes-3 with a fake language clearly referencing east Asian languages.

          I can still hear KOTOR's alien voice lines in my head.

          As for Jade Empire, it just left me wanting for an actual wuxia RPG instead of the supermarket spring roll vibe it had, like you can see how cool it could be
