KOTOR & KOTOR SL are I think probably two of my favorite RPG. And also the most memorable RPG I have ever played.
I truly love ME trilogy, but even though ME trilogy is graphics wise much improved, and is a great star saga. It is not star wars LOL !
There were moments in KOTOR 1 that I thought were more mind blowing than star war's " Luke I am your Father " . I am speaking of the Revan revelation, in KOTOR 1, but there were also some interesting Twists in KOTOR 2 (SL) which I found really great.
It is hard to truly pin down just which one I like best, one or two, but when this mod TSLRCM is added to KOTOR 2, I would have to say that KOTOR 2 out shines KOTOR 1 in my Opinion, but I love them both very much.
KOTOR 2 with the TSLRCM Mod finally does allow you to train any and all of your companions to be Jedi Knights, and that is really neat, it also adds a planet that was intended to be in the Original game, but Obsidian was rushed, and many things were left in the game, but never finished TSLRCM fixes those unfinished parts the droid factory, the extra planet, and many more. http://www.moddb.com...tent-mod-tslrcm
These were two games that gave me my first experience with Gibb editor, and I have loved every Gibb creation sense then, and consider them to be extensions to any game that a Gibb editor has been made for, they truly allow you to see many parts of game that you may never see in a normal play through.
My main use of Gibb edito in the KOTOR games was to see the different Romance options which when these were released was a rather new thing in Games, having the ability to Woo one of your digital companions was a really sweet addition to my game play, and it was done very nicely in both games.
Anyway I saw your Post, and I just had to give my two cents on these two wonderful even by today's standards games.
