Kotor 2 is so much better than Kotor 1.

Warning: This Forum contains Kotor 1 and 2 Spoilers.

I am A huge Star Wars Fan, But despite this I didn't enjoy Star Wars Kotor 1 that much(Because I knew the Plot Twist and it made me feel that i am playing as a Brainwashed Raven than playing as myself in a RPG game)

So I decided to Play Kotor 2 with TSLRCM mod(Which fixes more than 500 bugs I Think) and This was the Best Western RPG game that I've ever Played.(Much Better than Kotor 1 and Dragon Age Origins)

Story:

This game doesn't have that Stupid Twist And Allows you to actually feel that you are playing as Yourself in Star Wars Universe .

Party members are more interesting in this game. They have their own role to play in this game(For Example B3 was a Boring utility Droid in Kotor 1 but in 2 he saves you lots of times) and have interaction with each other unlike Kotor 1.The world is more alive due to this fact that you have more cutscenes where Others are talking with each other.

Finally the Choices you make will effect the whole Story and you can See the Outcome of the Choices You have made in the end of the game.

The Story is also much better in 2 and it has been considered as the one of the darkest Star Wars Stories that has ever been made.

Gameplay:

the Pazzak and swoop race are better than they were in Kotor 1.

You have no Level Cap in Kotor 2 unlike 1.

You can Gain/Lose influence within Party members and even have this chance to train some of them the ways of the force/dark side.

You play with other characters in some parts than just playing as yourself.

You can Also Break items make New items in Kotor 2.

tl;dr

Kotor 2 has improved the Gameplay of Kotor 1 and has a much better Storyline compare to it. It was More enjoyable compare to Kotor 1(and I Couldn't Stop Playing this game until Finishing it)

Adore KOTOR 2. Obisidan have a real knack at allowing evil into games without having it feel overly ham-fisted. As far as their characters go Kreia's arguably the jewel on the crown.

And SWTOR is so much more.... not better than either xD

I liked the first one more.

You definitely have to have the restored content mod.

Without it, its noticeably worse at every turn.

@kod: Yep. I Have from what i saw from the Mod description,Obsidian Forced to cut off lots of Malachor V Cutscenes.

Have you been keeping up with the KOTOR mod/remake?

Also, here's a video that shows you what mods to add to KOTOR 2 to make the game complete and to upgrade the models effects and HD.

@kod: Thanks. for Kotor 1 Remake I Kinda didn't like the way that Endar Spire Looked.

as for Kotor 2 mods,I Have Already finished 2 with TSLRCM and I think I may just get that Droid Factory Planet mod.

Yes, Kotor2 is better in pretty much every aspect. Story, characters, visuals, choice system, dialogue, combat. Just a shame Atton was such a bell end.

It's got a better written story than most of the Star Wars movies.

I never played 2. I think I'll replay 1 soon, and then move on to 2 finally

@xantufrog: just don't forget to get TSLRCM 1.8.5.

They aren't really a direct-depend-upon continuation, order doesn't matter much.

For anyone who has an hour or two to burn.

Same. Obsidian is otherwise awesome, but even though I've played KOTOR II more (more than I've played Civ III on my Steam profile... something is wrong), the first one is just a better game, mainly for it actually feeling like a tribute to Star Wars, rather than a writer pulling a Seth MacFarlane style trick to his writing.

Not sure I get you. Kotor 1 entire gimmick is that you're Revan, remove that, not much else going on. Everything we've seen in this, we've seen in other games.

Kotor 2 examines the Jedi and The Sith and the concept of the force far better than Lucas himself attempted with the prequels. The title "Sith Lords" didn't lie was it was going to be about, it's on the box.

@nintendoboy16: Even though that the Writing is too different in Kotor 2 compare to other SW material, I Still Appreciate Obsidian's effort in making a new type of Story in Kotor 2.

True, but as much as I thought that was a BS twist, I didn't feel like Bioware was writing a damn hate-fic.

Did you not read the behind the scenes of Kreia's development? Avellone flat out said Kreia was based on his views on the Star Wars franchise, which is similar to how Seth MacFarlane based Brian Griffin off his liberal leaning views.

The second game is the better of the two, but I do prefer the first game.

I totally love both Knights of the Old Republic games back on Xbox and now on PC. Knights of the Old Republic 1 had better storytelling about Revan & Malak, it was the first SW game that it wasn't about the Empire era which at the time we were getting too many Empire vs Rebels games settings and never ever bother to go or learn about the ancient Sith order is what Knights of the Old Republic is known for, it's why I prefer the first game over the second one. But this does not me saying the second game was a letdown, it does has better gameplay and more Force powers to go by and it's also my favorite but nothing comes closer to the first game due to it's rich storytelling.

Played KOTOR 2, and it was one of the best SW games I ever played (im fan of RPG in general, so that did par of job). For KOTOR 1 I believe that is fine, but it can hardly outmatch it's successor.

@popy01: I hope that someday obsidian makes Kotor 3.(Or a new Star Wars RPG )

As did I. I thought the characters and story in the first one were better.

I loved the first one and I really don't care for SW. Never played the sequel.
