Oh and also, with the 5.11 driver from ATI (and possibly 5.9/5.10) the game looks and runs awesome.
No lag, not a single crash and alot more cool light effects.
Yeah, I played the unpatched game
Well I've always thought K1 was better than K2.
I have just finished both games these last 14 days, and I must admit:
I find K2 alot more exciting in terms of action/story/gameplay & the various quests than K1.
Also something I didn't really think much about was influence.
It's actually quite fun & sometimes challenging to get all the 'goodguys' over to the darkside
(and get them to wear one of my super nice black robes).
It's just more 'star wars like' if you know what I mean.
Well.. My 2c
