KOTOR2 gains big point for showing that containers are empty after you take the items - KOTOR1 would leave them wondering if you already opened that container or not. So frustrating

I've been playing KOTOR II with the Restored Content Mod, and honestly . . . It is leaps and bounds ahead of almost every Star Wars game in story and tone. The debate it raises on the Force, along with the cast of characters, places it as a must play Star Wars game, and my personal favorite.

I prefer KOTOR II by a wide margin, but one of my favorite things about it was how it handled its predecessor. It didn't simply outdo KOTOR I, it expanded on its story and made Revan so mythic and mysterious that I almost couldn't believe I had played him before.

Bad thing about Kotor 2: Too much content has been cut.

Bad thing about Kotor 1: Its basicaly the story of Baldurs Gate in the Star Wars universe.

Bad thing about both: There was never a Kotor 3 who would bring the story to an end. Instead they made these stupid MMO.

Bastila falling to the dark side is actually a great part for her character and the story as a whole. Bastila always tried to appear like the perfect jedi but we constantly see her doubt and lose faith in herself. When she acts that way it’s her trying to be who she isn’t. She has her doubts about the Jedi code from the start. I find it to be a fantastic part of the plot.

Can't we all just agree that they're both better than SWtOR?

One thing I liked was the contrast between Jolee Bindo and Kreia. They are both initially presented as morally grey characters, challenging your assumptions about the Force, yet one the moment, comes, Jolee stands against the Darkness and Kreia embraces it.

KOTOR 2 had the extremley useful feature of having 2 sets of weapons that you could swap instantaneously between.

Kreia is probably the best written character in both games but other than that I prefer KOTOR 1

I feel a large part of what dragged Kotor 2 down was the ending, not just the lack of ending cutscenes, but the whole experience. In Kotor where you hear about Malak and how evil he is throughout the whole game, then you find out the Reaven reveal and he kidnaps/corrupts Bastila giving you a grudge against him. Then, when you finally get to the starforge you have to fight your way through hordes of robots and dark jedi before finding your old robes again. Then Malak unlocks the full power of the starforge and regenerates time and time again until you finally figure out his weakness and beat him.
In Kotor 2 you fight 2 villians who you have no infomation on for 90% of the game, then, you overwhelm their measly defenses and proceed to kick their asses without even trying. Overall I felt like I fought my way through Kotor 2 to get to an epic climax and instead it ended with a whimper causing me to feel cheated. (I ended up typing more than I intended but I don't want to delete my writing. Thanks if you ended up reading this far)

KOTOR 1 companions:
Carth: Annoying and always “doesn’t want to talk”, despite interrupting you for a discussion.
Bastila: Stuck up, arrogant and self-righteous.
Mission: Always trying to prove she “ain’t a kid,” but due to her side story with Griff, probably the more sympathetic companions in KOTOR 1.
Zaalbar: Honestly, his story on Kashyyk is definitely great character development.
Canderous: Good as a slightly 2-dimensional badass war vet.
T3-M4: No personality in KOTOR 1 at all.
HK-47: One of the greatest Star Wars characters ever.
Juhani: Unbelievably annoying in almost every way.
Jolee: Funny and cranky with an interesting back story.
Jolee, HK and Canderous were the only ones I personally liked.

KOTOR 2:
Atton: Outwardly caustic and sarcastic, but with a very dark and traumatized background serving the Sith.
Kreia: Easily one of the most complex and well-written Star Wars characters ever, with a very unique philosophy on the nature of the Force.
T3-M4: Actually has an R2-D2/Wall-E-like personality to him which makes him likeable.
HK-47: Still just as good as before, and still one of the best and funniest game characters of all time.
G0-T0: Very well-written droid character with a fascinating backstory and interesting motivations.
Bao-Dur: Honestly, kind of bland compared to the other KOTOR 2 companions, but still better written than Carth, Juhani or Bastila, imo.
Mandalore/Canderous: Basically all the best parts of KOTOR 1 Canderous, but with better character development(since Mandalore is post-Revan and his motivations are more broad-reaching than the first game).
Visas: Good dark character, clearly someone who is good, but has been forced for years under the influence of one of the darkest and most evil beings in existence(Nihilus).
Mira: Solid background and has a lot of sass, much less annoying than Bastila or Juhani.
Hanharr: Terrifying depiction of what a serial killing, psychopathic Wookie looks like.
Disciple: Really boring compared to the other companions, but much less annoying than Carth or Bastila.
Handmaiden: Annoying compared to the other KOTOR 2 companions, but still better written than Bastila or Juhani.

When you also factor in Nihilus and Sion, KOTOR 2 is hands-down better when it comes to great characters.

Wait... A redeemed Revan has gone missing... You're the last Jedi... The temple on dantooine was destroyed... Did JJ Abrams just rip off the old republic AS WELL AS THE ORIGINALS at the same time?!?

I Played KOTOR 2 when I was 8 years old and it scared me. The sound of the Sith Assassins and mining droids on Peragus still freaks me out to this day.

I gotta say I felt like this vs. is very clearly one sided. Kotor 1 isn't generic at all. If you played it for the first time last week or a year ago then it might seem simple and predictable because a lot of stories through out fiction have used similar ones since. A story doesn't have to make you question morality or your own state of being to be good and what makes Kotor 1s story so interesting is it's theme of redemption. Every character including the main has something in their past that needs to be dealt with, and in doing so they all become better people. The Revan reveal has been hailed as one of the best plot twists in gaming history and I absolutely agree, not one person I've talked to who played this at around the time it came out predicted the reveal. Because we had no reason to suspect anything, it's rpg tradition that the main character is always the chosen who will save everyone, but this time there was a reason for that and that reason was brilliant and made perfect sense. Kotor 2 is a great game too but my favorite remains Kotor 1.

Both games are really incredible. Kotor 2 had so much potential to be an absolutely fantastic game, but when released was very broken and unfinished, and even with the RCM it doesn't feel quite complete.
I really loved the music in Kotor 1, very classic Star Wars, and also love the darker music in Kotor 2. Both are phenomenal and I do listen to them quite often.
Both stories are really quite fantastic and I kinda feel like its comparing apples and oranges when you are trying to decide which is better.


I do find that I play Kotor 1 more often.
