Kreia is an interesting mentor/bad influence. In all mechanical ways it is worse then Kotor, but the characters and plot beats make the game shine. Kotor 2 is an incomplete game that is obvioulsy unpolished. The villain is lame and by building up Revan so much the story winds up undermining him. The Revan reveal does nothing for me because it mostly feels like yet another example of Bioware trying to make the player character feel like the coolest most important person in the setting. Kotor 1 is the better game, in the sense that it is complete and mostly polished, but I find the story and characters dull. Not gonna really cry over Avallone not being a part of it. With any hope the KotoR remake will do amazing and warrant a full remake of 2 as well giving them a chance to flesh it out, even if Obsidian just like BioWare isn't a part of it. As an overall package and game KotoR still is a more complete experience even if 2 has some stronger characters and main plot elements. Where KotoR is very faithful, to a fault, to the kind of black and white morality that Star Wars presents you need that experience and setting of the stage before hand to really make the most of the subversions and questioning that 2 introduces and explores.Ģ has a lot more rough spots though due to its development troubles. I don't think it would have been nearly as successful or strong an experience without having KotoR prior to it.
KotoR 2 is just a great deconstruction of all of that. It's a little cheesy and melodramatic at times with it all, but that's what Star Wars is. It really does a fantastic job of capturing and mimicking that classic Star Wars feeling in this epic kind of journey from beginning to end.
I think KotoR is the single best piece of Star Wars media that has delivered a similar feeling of awe and surprise that the OT provided.
