I always liked the first KOTOR more than the last one. KOTOR 2 did improve some gameplay, but I never got as into it as I did with the first one. I didn't like the romances in Kotor 2. I talked to the people involved but I never thought of any of the romances getting serious. Your romance just shows up and says that they will "wait for you". That can't really compare to turning Bastila back to the light or Carth getting over his paranoia. In KOTOR 2 I just wanted to tell the two people fighting over me what I thought about the situation. The looking for Jedi masters part was okay, you got to pick your own reason for going after them. On the other hand I never got why the Exile was cut off from the force. Obi-wan feels an entire planet die and nothing bad happened to him. Maybe I missed something but I thought that part was never explained well enough. The influence/approval system was flawed in that I could get Visas to like me in one conversation, but other companions were a lot tougher. HK-47 was hard because I was only ever able to get him late in the game and I could never be sure what conversations he would even care about. Gifts would have been fine to have as long as there was a real reason to give people the gifts. Like the alcohol that you could give to the drunk dwarf. I am not saying that KOTOR 2 was bad necessarily. I had a lot of fun going dark side in that game just because some of the heads had awesome dark side corruption. It was nice knowing if a container was empty. The different lightsaber styles was interesting, and I liked how you got bonuses for going completely Dark or Light. I had a lot of fun with the game, but the first KOTOR was a fuller experience.

I have only gotten two classes to level 50. The Sith Warrior story only picks up in Chapter 3. Up until that point it was basically just "go kill this guy" quests. The Sith Inquisitor class story is more interesting in that you are a slave climbing their way to the top. You still have to go fetch stuff for your master for the first chapter though.

Yes it would be nice to have them finished.
