Darth Deseria Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 I think this is the most unoriginal sequel I have played. It like watching Back to the future then watching Back to the future part 2. There are tons of things in the story that are exactly the same with the exception that its a diffrent planet. For example you crash before the finale on part 1 and lo and behold you do the same in part2. Stuff like that. You would think they would be more original with their storyline, instead of chocking a game full of the same stuff as the first except making it diffrent species or planets. Don't get me wrong I still like the game, I just wished they would of made it more unique then the first.
Achilles Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 Yeah, and that whole "having to beat a bad guy" at the end. I mean come on. Sooo KotoR I. Having boys AND girls in your party...they did that in the first game too. Don't even get me started on the fact that there are droids and aliens.
Drazin Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 Yeah! And that Ebon Hawke again! No creative ability whatsoever!
Lord_Malak Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 You get a lightsaber and can use the force, they suck! So unoriginal!
Darth Deseria Posted February 23, 2005 Author Posted February 23, 2005 obviously you guys are being sarcastic and are satisfied with the same game being rehashed in a slightly diffrent context in part 2. There are so many things that are the same aside from the obvious things that you two mentioned. I could probably replay the game and add up 50 things that are the same storyline wise. You guys have mentioned items in the story but I was referring to the story line and it's progression. mysterious amnesia another mandalorian sidekick another guy similiar to Carth That's just for starters on the top of my head.

Kidding aside, I definitely see your point Darth Deseria. TSL was almost indeed a more advanced mock-up (minus the plot ) of KotOR. I mean, yes, amnesia... your character is again the 'pivot' of the Galaxay, striking resemblance of Revan's old crew qualities in TSL... Atton = Carth Kreia / Visas = Bastila Mandalore = you know who T3 = well... T3 Handmaiden = better version of Mission with her "naivete" to others outside her "territory" etc. etc. Don't get me wrong, I love TSL even with it's bugs, and granted the dev's weren't given the time they wanted. Hell, even Lucas took 2-3 years between each movie release, but he didn't have the "shirts" breathing down his neck with a dead-line. I think they both have their own unique charms, and well let's face it...flowing robes kick-ass
lukeiamyourdad Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 Well, there are many similarities but I would say that it's too similar. I only frowned upon the main quest being a wee bit too similar to KOTOR I(you know, looking for hidden Star Maps, looking for hidden Jedi, come on) and Trayus Academy being basically a lousy and more boring unstressful Star Forge. Hell, at least on the Star Forge, the poured so many enemies it felt overwhelming. Trayus was a walk in the park. The characters are only similar in the roles they play but remember that KOTOR I took a lot from the OT so basically, KOTOR I is also unoriginal. Most of the side quests are also similar. Few were actually original(like playing pazaak to save the dancing twi'lek on Telos). It was a bit boring there.
Lord_Malak Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 Come to think of it, there are a lot of similar things. You even get an unexplained force bond with someone.
Drazin Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 Yeah, There are quite a few plot similarities, I was just goofin earlier with Achilles. I still firmly believe that K2 is the better game. But I cringe when I think of how much better it could have been.
Darth Deseria Posted February 25, 2005 Author Posted February 25, 2005 I must of missed that part about the madalorian. I went DS and it didn't discuss that. I am now just working halfway on the ls version. kotor2 is much better, but it could of been so much better if they would of done more original story plots. Hopefully that will be the case in kotor3.
Derc Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Hey, it's pretty good considering the fact that it was rushed and that they only had a year or so to develop it.
Bubbles Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Obsidian entertainment isn't really known for their writers. I didn't expect a mind blowing story But I agree with you, it didn't capture me like the first did. There were times, on my first run through, when I was -very- tempted to click through conversations... Seriously, some, especially with HK-47, are like 15 minutes long. Gets tiring. And the final boss was SO pathetic. Malak was all like, WHAMMY, suckin the life out of stuff, and you're all like, JUST DIE! AAAH I LOVE IT. But with you know who, it's like WHAM. Down. Oh, look at that... up again, with some purple lightsabers. WHAM again. Wow, that sucked.
