Story wise; The first was more immersive , but the second was a bit more intriguing.
As for the rest of the game, it didn’t really seem like they added much to the second one (apart from the influencing your companions thing, which was way better than I thought it would be, but it seemed you would always have to receive light side points to gain influence over someone). Also the first took me way longer to complete.
I think I liked number 1 more, though I’m still relatively undecided.
Thoughts?
The first did have more to offer than the sequel, but I just liked the second game better, I preffered the characters and the storyline. And whilst it was a far shorter game than KOTOR 1, I think it wasn’t as dragged out.
Exile for the win.
KotOR I was a superior game in nearly every way; it was complete, balanced, and the story line managed to be Star Wars, even though it was set in the distant past to the movie era. KotOR II was still a great sequel, it just didn’t match the high bar set by the original game.
I just hope that the whole KOTOR story arc is rounded off nicely when the third installment is released… though who knows when that will happen.
Seriously whats the point of doing the romance and giving Bas the good lay we all know she needed then run off? Same goes for the Exile no matter which gender or person you chose. Handmadien,Visas, and Atton were cool espically Atton. Mr. Mical or disciple can rott for all I care hes not worth a dime I am afraid.
I liked the additional options that the second one provided in being able to have alternate weaponry at the press of a button, and the influence system (and the ability to make some of you companions Jedi/Dark Jedi). The major downside for me about the second one was, as other posters have mentioned, the cut content.
And for some reason Dantooine (outdoors) in both games always slowed the game up or/and made it choppy. Must have been all the nicely animated grass.
