Agreed. Even with the all the additional components, the story as a whole was never that great. Just goes to show you can't beat the original.

Both Kotor's had ok plots. I thought Kotor 2's was slightly better but for me Kotor 2's character made the big difference. Kotor 2's characters overall were much better than the kotor 1's.

look, kotor 1, the original is the best.... kotor 2 was exeptional and the third 1 will rule, unless they make it yet another part of revan's mysteries, lets just hear it all!

Most would disagree. Though I did like the overall character development of #2 more, I preferred the actual characters of #1 more. I will admit though, in retrospect, the Exile's character is far more believable than Revan's.

Kotor 1's plot was better, especially when playing. You had exact orders and direction in kotor 1, while in kotor 2 there was not. I was waiting the whole time for something to happen like in kotor 1 but then all that happened was Kreia saying "there is no great revelation". I thought the kotor 1 characters were more interesting and it's better to have less characters unlike the loads of characters in kotor 2 who were just Ebon Hawk decoration.
I'm not anti-kotor 2 because I like the gameplay more and the added influence system which caused me to not verbally abuse the characters like I did in kotor 1.

Deeper characters isn't French for "tieing up all loose ends." It means the characters' stories and personality were explored in more detail.

More mature, more interesting. They had a bigger stake in the happenings of the plot. The bad guys were more disturbed/tragic (Sion and Traya). The good guys had history Visas/Atton or important personal journeys they felt they had to take Brianna/Goto/Mira et al.
Overall I thought there was also more to the plot of Kotor 2. The economic and political issues that were going on, the bounty on Jedi, the Sith's secret assassinations these things made Kotor 2's plot a little bit better for me. You felt like the galaxy was a big place and that events weren't just waiting for your interference.
Not to say Kotor 1's plot wasn't good in its own way Manaan is probably my joint favorite planet of the series but overall I felt Kotor 2 did better at spicing things up.
