        I remember sometime back in the mid to late 2000s people were absolutely gushing over the plot of the first KOTOR, and especially gushing over how genius the plot twist was. I also heard some people say that KOTOR 2’s plot was underwhelming by comparison.

        Fast forward to now and the opinion seems to be reversed with people saying that KOTOR 2 is genius, while KOTOR 1 is just “alright”.

        I wonder what caused the opinion shift?

          1 only has the twist and neat ideas, 2 has depth that uses those ideas to a much greater degree and throws more role playing possibilities as well as things to think about. Thats why I love it more.

          on Ganker it's partly because of this site's inherent contrarianism on any topic
          Also a big part of the 2 love is that the game got a proper update for modern operating system compatibility around 2014~ as well as steam workshop support that had the Content Restoration mod available from the start, allowing people to actually play the game.

              And I’m saying that “anti Skyrim” threads aren’t against older games, since Skyrim is a rereleased cash cow. Morrowind is caught in the larger shitflinging fest that is Bethesda RPG discussion. Oblivion fans hate Skyrim and vice versa, NV fans hate 3 and vice versa, etc etc.

              KOTOR is apart of the Star Wars franchise which has fans across ages, I’m not surprised that homosexual zoomers decide to retroactively shit on 1 or 2.

              How many older game hate threads have you seen for Deus Ex? VtM Bloodlines? Sonic 1991? Early Ace Combat/Armored Core? Silent Hill? I don’t think it is as concentrated of an effort as you make it out to be. Bethesda/MS probably pays people to smear Skyrim when they get close to releasing a new RPG that will play very similarly to it (Starfield) but I don’t think there is a larger campaign against older games due to the lack of hate threads for many older games.

    The problem arises when fans of KOTOR 2 start throwing around terms like "masterpiece" and "painstakingly crafted". No level-headed person can let that pass without comment. The game is unfinished, has many issues with the sequencing of its dialogue, and is often just plain ugly. Look at the cutscenes with the crude attempts at cinematic action - they're fricking laughable, and not excused by the age of the game. MGS2 came out before this.

        I meant in the sense of something that is right from one perspective and wrong from onother perspective, for example Onderon if you want to support the nativists and not want the planet to be absorbed into the republic, your character randomly becomes a cackling maniacal sith type, even if you're doing it out of interest for the people. This isn't even a case of overturning a democracy, this is throwing out a Monarch who will let her planet become just another Republic World vs a popular Hero who wants to keep Onderon free.

      The Star Wars movies are among my favourite movies of all time, and I think KOTOR 2 is an absolute masterpiece (albeit a flawed masterpiece due to it being blatantly unfinished). It’s also not really that different from the movies. Thematically, it’s very in line with the Prequels, and the whole premise of travelling across the Galaxy in a smuggler’s ship with a crew of underdogs is ripped straight from the OT.

      The claim that people who like KOTOR 2 hate SW is a meme made by people who don’t understand SW.

      Power strike allows you to 1 shot Darth Sion when combined with high strength, Force Speed and Battle Meditation. It’s the most powerful melee attack in the game when combined with buffs. Critical Strike is good if you’re using a weapon with a high crit chance.

          No, Drew is, and always has been, a bad writer.

          I don't think he was seething about KOTOR 2. Maybe he had Vitiate knocking around in his head at the time and Avellone came along and deconstructed him with Darth Nihilis before he even existed.
          The real answer is because KOTOR 2's cast was all someone else's toys and Drew wasn't interested in them. He clearly had his own ideas about how the Jedi order should be rebuilding through Bastila because, like with Disney, all they can focus on is lineage and relics.
          Frankly, story would have been better off if 2 hadn't even been mentioned.
          Exile"s story is all about learning from Darth Traya to think for yourself and not let anybody use you, then Meetra Surik bumbles blindly after Revan. This, even though as of 2 they were basically equals (the both commanded fleets) and implied to not even get along all that well, since Revan sends the Exile to die over Malachor 5.

              No, that's the central conflict, not *the* theme of Star Wars. Also that clip with Lucas doesn't have him say that Star Wars' main theme is good vs evil. You might as well have said that Star Wars' main theme is mythology. Again, I don't think you understand what is a theme, so you'll have to do a little better than that.

                And just for an additional push, I'll have this:

                They [the Jedi] trained more than anything else to understand the transitional nature of life, that things are constantly changing and you can't hold on to anything. You can love things but you can't be attached to them. You must be willing to let the flow of life and the flow of the Force move through your life, move through you. So that you can be compassionate and loving and caring, but not be possessive and grabbing and holding on to things and trying to keep things the way they are. Letting go is the central theme of the film.

          Yeah, that's not a theme, and you're just an idiot because Kotor 2 ends with the Force winning and the Dark Side remaining evil. Just for a quick test, what do you think is the theme of Star Wars? (You)

          >talking about Avellone

          See

          I just don't like it because
          1: Its themes are completely antithetical to Star Wars because Avellone is a seething gay who needs to take steaming shits over Star Wars, Fallout, any IP he gets his hands on
          2: The game is incredibly unfinished, even with content restoration mods it's nowhere near a polished experience.
          3: The content that is there isn't all great - Paragus, Telos, Dantooine, Korriban, and the endgame all really suck.

            'The Force is inherently good' isn't part of KotOR II at all, you have to be a fricking psycho to think me saying that was in reference to it and not the rest of Star Wars

          At no point does KOTOR 2 say that the Jedi are evil or that doing the right thing is wrong. It just asks you to have reasons behind your decision rather than “I’ll do the good thing because I’m a Jedi” or “I’ll do the bad thing because I’m a Sith”. The idea is both the Jedi and Sith are flawed and only human.

                People didn't like TLJ because the execution was awful, people like Kotor 2 because it directly challenges your choices via critical dialogue from Kreia and has really strong writing in general, like the whole exchange with Atris on Telos. Hell people loved Evangelion and that too was a deconstruction of mecha anime tropes, it just depends on how the deconstruction is done and if your audience is a bunch of midwits. Kotor 2 being a PnP ruleset RPG filters out the brainless casuals who go to see the films in droves, so seeing their views of the force be directly challenged by someone was likely refreshing and gave them things to consider for the setting.

                Star Wars is a grand artistic achievement that was unfortunately a victim of its own success. The OT was the pet project of an arthouse director that unexpectedly achieved mainstream success. Lucas was always focused on his vision though, so he continued to make his vision uncompromised with the Prequels and ended up filtering the mainstream audiences because it wasn’t an OT rehash. Then after the buyout, SW understandably lost its soul. Basically, they’re misunderstood films because normies can’t see past the window dressing of “cool laser swords and guns”.

              Why do you think Luke saved Vader despite the Jedi Masters telling Luke he was beyond saving? Simply because he was a Jedi or because he loved his father? Similarly, why do think Anakin turned to the dark side? Because he wanted to be evil for evil’s sake or because he wanted to save his wife?

              At any rate, Lucas always maintained that the main themes of Star Wars were generational differences and family anyway.

              I hate that the story has huge gaps in it. Some are easy to figure out, but others, especially towards the end, make no sense.

              All of those gaps could have been solved if the game didn’t railroad you so hard after the Rebuilt Enclave. You should have had time on The Ebon Hawk in between The Ravager and Malachor to talk to your party members before the crash.

    A lot of people compare KOTOR 2 to TLJ, and they're wrong to do so.
    Jake's ramble about "powerful light, powerful dark" in TLJ is only superficially similar to KOTOR 2's themes of give and take.
    KOTOR 2, released in 2004, was like a primer for Episode 3.
    Why did the Jedi order collapse? Because of the Jedi civil war, which is actually because of the Mandalorian Wars.
    Kreia, who fought in both, challenges you to determine why.
    Her answer, which falls in line with GOTO's questline, and the Telos subplot, is that the Jedi 's existence has to be distinct from the Republic. Reliance on the Jedi led to a stagnant republic, which the Mandalorians capitalized on to invade.
    The Republic, completely unable to muster a defence for the outer rim, calls upon the Jedi to lead their armies.
    I'm essence, peacekeepers become soldiers.
    Does that sound familiar? Because it's just The Clone Wars. History repeats cyclically. Kreia talks about seeing visions of that I'm the future, and how answering the call to war will 100% bring about the downfall of the Jedi. She spends the whole game poking holes in the hypocrisy of a peacekeeping force swooping in and selectively distributing justice

          Mask guy is a scale you never really want to go to, but KOTOR 2 does it well. He has lost all agency and is more dark side elemental than anything else. Seeking absolute freedom through malevolence has made him a slave to himself. The problem is that he didn't NEED to be a planet eating Sith and killing him no matter what would feel like a cop-out. Not to mention at his level it's really hard to feel his presence since you're basically a microorganism to him.

    The problem is people putting these games on pedestals as if they're worthy of it. New Vegas was better than fallout 3 (but not that much more and it's such a low bar why would you even bother), same goes for this. Yeah they were okay. That's all. The only thing keeping this 18 year old game relevant is fanwank.

    I played both of these on release and always preferred the first. Both are great games though. I don't really get how someone can enjoy one and not the other. That seems like a counterfeit opinion to hold.

    Anyone ever played a blaster-Jedi?
    Is it viable?

      In 1 or 2?
      Two blasters+force speed and the blaster shot deflection power are viable yes. Especially if you go for upgraded Mandalorian Disintegrators.

        Either or. It's a play style I never tried at the time because Lightsabers and Force powers just raped everything, but I was interested in its' viability.

      blaster is already the most OP class in 1 or 2. why would you even need to be jedi? I guess if you add force storm to blaster you would be literally unstoppable

    KOTOR2 is hated by fans because the fans hate the star wars movies and it is closest to the movies in terms of what themes it explores, and borrows heavily from the Prequels.

    At its core it's a game about exploring what a bunch of idiotic, hypocritical, evil bastards the Jedi and what an unjust system the republic is, and the fans quite like the Jedi and the republic.

    reminder that all kreia's justifications are bullshit and she simply uses your status as a "wound in the force" to kill her enemies

    how come the xbox version of this game seems to have stronger lighting compared to any other version?

    obviously the video is low quality but the red floor beneath kreia is much brighter and seems to cast a glow on her
