According to Steam, it's Euro Truck Simulator 2 with 404 hours. But Steam statistics aside, I'd say it's Knights of the Old Republic. I played through that game more times than I can count.

They sure are! Nowadays I appreciate II more than I (Kreia is still one of, if not the most compelling videogame character of all time), but they both have excellent storytelling, even if the gameplay and graphics didn't age that well.

As for Euro Truck Simulator 2, few things are more relaxing than setting up ProMods and RusMap and driving around Europe while listening to your favourite music or podcast.

I haven't been able to beat it on my computer because a game breaking bug accures when I'm doing the Jedi training where random polygons will just get infinite length to the point where I can't see anything or do anything because it kills my frames. I still haven't found a fix D:

That's weird. I remember playing it on Windows XP and having to turn off all in-game sounds due to framerate issues. Maybe try setting the compatibility option to Windows 7 or earlier if available on the .exe properties? Or maybe try checking r/kotor for a fix. There's a spoiler-free mod build here that has a few bug fixes like the KOTOR 1 Community Patch.

Unfortunately, some older games are a pain in the ass to get working properly and both KOTORs are one of them. But I say they're well worth the trouble.
