PostPosted: Sun, 6th Jul 2008 18:53    Post subject: KOTOR 1 or 2
Almost same topic as CaptainCoxs about Fallout 2.
I never played KOTOR so witch one should try first, 1 or 2.
As far i read on official forums the first one has better story, in second one has more stuff to do.
I will probably go for first one ....
What do you think ( prove it Very Happy )

And how many patches are made for each one ? KOTOR 1 has 3 ... at least i have found crack for 1.03. Are there any further patch ?

Oh and thanks in advance

the story is connected so playing 1 first is the obvious choice.

and yeah like CC said, they both rock and are well worth playing.

I wonder though how it will feel playing it so close to MassEffect...

Should be a pleasant surprise after MassEffect. Far better setting, less sucky combat, much better character customization, better stories, etc. Only thing MassEffect had going for it was the music.

Personally I much prefer KOTOR 2 over KOTOR 1 though; a much deeper game story/character-wise, and Kreia is definitely a candidate for a Best NPC Ever award.

Anyone been following the progress of that KOTOR 2 restoration project? If they're still doing it I think I'll wait with the Sith Lords replay.

I liked KOTOR 2 better because good/bad choices are not so obvious as in KOTOR 1.

KOTOR 1 latest patch : 1.03 Gamers Hell
KOTOR 2 latest patch : 1.02b (at least that's what CARBON say in their release, but I can't find the damn patch Evil or Very Mad )

Also there are two media patches for KOTOR 2 :
http://www.nzone.com/object/nzone_kotor2_downloads.html
One for HQ music and one for HQ movies
KOTOR 2 Restoration project is very close to completion (v 1.0b9). Hopefully, it'll be released this summer (ATM 13 problems left to fix ).

Hmm if the Restoration Project is that close to finish, think I'll start with Kotor 1 already.. are there any mods that add new content for Kotor 1? Found plenty of retextures, new items etc., but after so many times I could use with some new areas/quests, if those even exist.

Just some advice. If you have a Creatvie Sound Card +Vista. Get "Creative ALchemy" It will allow you to run older "Direct Sound 3D" games in EAX + it will eliminate the graphic/movement choppiness! I thought I was going to give this game a miss to (see the Fallout thread) but installed ALchemy and now it runs smooth as a baby's bottom.

Yes there is!

This is the first episode at the moment, they are working on the sequel and it should be close to completion.

Make sure to get the patch also.

That's just amazing, exactly what I wanted. Think I'll wait until he finishes the 2nd part tho, hopefully the restoration project will finish by that time as well so I can play both games with the mods.

Also if you want updates on episode 2, here is the link.

http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=185084

Shows some things about it that might interest you.

Plus it seems there is a closed beta being tested by the development team so we might see a release soon.

One more thing I found out playing this on VISTA. Start the game from the SWKOTOR.EXE IN THE MAIN KOTOR FOLDER!!!!! The choppiness came back and I did some searching, and it worked.

Oh how I envy you playing Kotor 1 & 2 for the first time. Wish I could do that, both are two of the greatest games ever imo although I prefer the second as its alot darker and the plot is more complex. Not to mention being able to run around on Nar Shada which is as seedy and corrupted as I imagined it would be. The handmaiden chickas are interesting aswell.

Kotor 1 had a slugish Kashyyyk which was very boring and poorly designed imo. Could have been so much better with a little more work put on the planet.

Do we dare hope for a finale in Kotor3???

I really hope Revan will make a comeback in Kotor 3, and as the darkside version, lightsiders are such pussies.

Would be cool if there was a sw game released in the future where depending on if you were light or dark, the main onjectives of the game would be different. As a light side JK you would say have to defeat the main bad guy, but as a DS char you would instead perhaps help the main bad guy hunt down and kill jedi and in the end defeat the main bad sith and become the dark lord yourself or a variation of that. Also an inmpementation of the padawan system, you start of as a padawan under a Jedi master and when you become a jedi yourself, you take on a padawan whom you have to level up and teach.
So first level up yourself as a padawan under the tootelage of a jedi master, then when you hit jedi status, you get two chars to play with and level up.
This should imo should be just like all other rpgs, like baldurs gate and never game like nwn2 where you have a small party to play with. Strange we havent seen this in a SW game yet.
And the jedi trial would be a very interesting part of the game. Man I should pitch this idea to Obsidian Razz

Yeah that'd be really great thing to have, the thing with RPG's is that even if they offer you an evil path, you'll still end up killing the same end boss, there's very rarely much difference (tho granted Kotor did this better than most, darkside end cutscene for Kotor 1 was pwn). But yeah, a truly different, branching experience based on your alignment would fit a game like Kotor 3 perfectly.

story-wise, kotor 1 is way ahead of kotor 2 (which still has one of the best stories in a rpg , so that only tells you , how damn good kotor 1 is), but kotor 2 added a lot of additional stuff to the gameplay, which are better than in the first imo. I.e. better inventory and wear screens etc, more customizations, and all in all better UI and GUI. But all in all, both are "must-play" titles for sure. I especially like the whole good/bad side aspect, which lets you replay the game a totally different way.

Funny you should say that, there was some deleted content brought back in a mod for KOTOR 2 that showed Revan after you defeated Darth Nihilus. It turns out he did find the true sith but he wants to you tell Bastlia to reconnect there force bond. However you never really got to tell her.

Both are great, but 1 had a better story and most importantly better ending(s).

2 was a little deeper, story was pretty good still but you can see how rushed it was at the end.

Play them in order, it's better that way.

HK-47 is one of the best NPC characters in any game ever.
