Where is everyone?

It seems like few people come to this site anymore to talk about Kotor2. Surely there are other nostalgic gamers who continue to play kotor2. Despite all the glitches, vista problems, and cut content, the game is still incredibly fun. Being able to customize your character in so many ways makes for great replay value. Although most people are anticipating the new Old Republic game, I still think kotor2 will stand on its own as a unique game that despite its problems, is worth the effort.

Meh. There are plenty of people who like the game but there's really nothing to talk about that hasn't already been covered.

The Kotor forums on Bioware seems to be the place that people talk about this game.

Well KotOR2 is a good game and I just beat it today, I personally think KotOR is the better of the two. Non-cryptic master, More game play, and in my opinion, a more original plot, with KotOR2 it feels almost redundant to the original KotOR. Still its a good game.

Non-cryptic master

 

And that's good because?

 

More game play

 

Debatable.

 

and in my opinion, a more original plot

 

Nope. Sorry. Massive fail.

If you need any argument for KotOR over TSL, KotOR is better simply because it felt more of a "full" game. TSL, on the other hand had a rushed release and suffered greatly from a somewhat unsatisfying ending (not to mention more frustrating bugs). Other than that, I'd say they are pretty similar game experiences, with all the awesomeness and pitfalls a Star Wars game might have.

I think KotOR 2 has a more original plot and does it's best to avoid the Star Wars pitfalls, especially the black and white lightside/darkside system.

 

KotOR 1 did feel more like a full game though, yet somehow I find KotOR 2 has far more replayability.

K1 is far better on a technical level (ie it was finished), but K2 keeps me coming back...

More original than the second game? did we play the same games? The two are on opposite spectrums of originality. The first game was classic Star Wars. Bioware managed to take a franchise that was suffering from a heavy level of fan bashing because of the new prequel trilogy and bring back the flair of the original series. Everything from the masked villain to the final space battle against an unstoppable superweapon that could put the entire galaxy under its thumb was there. Kotor 2 on the other hand took a look at all of the typical Star Wars conventions and threw them away. Saying that Kotor 1 was more original in terms of plot is like saying Icewind Dale was more original than Planescape: Torment.
