Why is KOTOR considered such an incredibly powerful period for the Jedi/Sith?

I agree with Ushgarak, much of EU was over the top, including KOTOR 2 unfortunately.

But I still consider KOTOR 1 the best RPG ever and hold it in higher regard than movies- plot is actually better than most of PT, and nothing can beat great interactive movie that KOTOR actually is- both great story and game.

If you have the money and are willing to get addicted to a video game, buy KOTOR, it's a lot of fun. Most of the enemies you can just walk right over though, it's pretty easy. It is also really good as far as customizing your character goes. You would have fun with it.

I reserved both games beat them 5 - 10 times each and now in process(xbox) trying to get mod saves to see peoples work. Now I know mod saves is a bad idea to say on these forums but come on.

KOTOR was good, but the best RPG ever? Hell no, that's Suikoden 2!
I liked KOTOR a lot, but at times it was just a generic RPG with an SW polish

Now if your a crazed fan you'd know why storyline doesnt mean crap to me. I used to have drawers and cabinets full of star wars action figures lightsabers and toys. I actually got about 2500 for the whole thing but thats just what I am a SW fan but only to movie and games books is just too much SW knoledge

But since I have neither game would you recommend I buy KOTOR II or start with the first , because one thing I usually find is that sequals have at least a few improvements on the original (in games land that is, this rule does not apply to movies ) .

If your only getting one then definately get kotor I. Its true kotor II has a few improvements but its mostly cosmetic stuff, kotor I is the more rewarding experience.

That isn't entirely true KotOR 2 is great just not a LONG enough storyline but its fine

Heh I have to disagree, Morrowind is the best RPG ever.(Soon to be Oblivion)

OMG You are all fool what is wrong with you You have betrayed SW with some shit I never heard of besides Morrowind and IMo that games a piece of crap

The KOTOR force-users aren't quite as powerful as TOTJ force-users. I'm not even going to get into the pre-TOTJ force-users such as Tulak Hord.

Wtf? lol...

If you were serious actually play the game before saying its crap, and if you did and still thought it was crap its probably because your a noob at RPGS and got owned...(It happens to alot of people dont feel bad)

GAHH i want KOTOR 3, and play kotor one or two that explains every thing
