The deep, philosophical-ness of KOTOR II, while when I first played didn't bother, might actually trigger some of my anxiety now anyway. The score is really great and has more emotion (KOTOR II does have a few good pieces though). The story screams classic Star Wars, the characters, I feel, are a lot more likeable and you're able to connect with them better. I'd say you could compare this to the anthology films, but we've only had one so it's too early to say. You're asked a lot of deep questions that really require you to think. It is most definitely more of a philosophical game as stated. It's often hard to tell what's right and wrong/what's light and dark. This game is a lot like the main Saga films. The story is easy follow, though not necessarily predictable. The choices you make don't require a crap-ton of thought. While you're able to make "neutral" choices there is a clear distinction between light and dark. With KOTOR I we get more a traditional Star Wars tale. I personally like both games, but I completed Kotor 1 probably 8 or even 9 times and Kotor 2 only 2 times (I am currently on my 3rd playthrough tho with the RCM for the first time)
So the question is which one do you prefer ? Kotor 1 is often referred to as the standard Hero's Journey with a great story with one of the best twists of all time (at least in video games), great planets and likeable characters. Most people talk about the much more mature/darker story, better characters and just overall darker tone that make Kotor 2 the better Game. Not really especially in the last couple of years I hear people often talk about how much Kotor 2 is superior to Kotor 1, especially after the restored content mod came out that brought back a lot of things obsidian originally wanted to include. So that means that Kotor 1 was better isnt it ? The critics prefered Kotor1 over Kotor2, for Kotor 2s defence the game was rushed out the door by Lucasarts. I think we can all pretty much agree that those two games are the best RPGs with the Star Wars name on it.īut there is still an ongoing debate about which one was actually the better of the two.
