CommanderKane Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I'm playing the game for PC and loving it, just like the first. Is it just me or do the characters in this one seem more. . .intriguing than in the first KOTOR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I disagree. I think there was more to the characters in KotOR than in TSL. I actually enjoyed the character based side-quests in KotOR. I didn't in TSL: they felt like chores to me. YOu can't really learn a great deal about them like you could in KotOR.

JediMasterDeath Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I gotta go with The Doctor for sure on this. TSL PISSED ME OFF. It pissed off a lot off people! But this should probably be moved to a KOTOR 2 Thread shouldn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jae Onasi Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 In general, I liked the characters in K1 a little better, simply because they mirrored the SW feel a little better. However, I agree that the TSL characters are intriguing, to say the least, and far less black-and-white or good-and-evil in personality. Kreia drove me crazy and fascinated me all at the same time. In that respect, I think that TSL had some interesting character development. I do wish that some of the characters' stories had been a little more fleshed out, and my hubby wishes that he wasn't given paragraphs of dialogue all at one time--he hated reading through a ton of conversation in one sitting, but I didn't mind this.

Prime Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I liked the characters of K1 better, but I liked the combat, items, etc. more in K2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus Q'ol Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Story, characters, overall appeal leans toward Kotor. TSL's weapons, gear, and functions are a bit more convienient. Have fun and make up your own opinions. To you TSL may be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venom750 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I like KOTOR 1 better for character ineration because KOTOR 2 feels like there all just a bunch of tortured souls and i was like not another one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoiuyWired Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Well, the ending of TSL is without a doubt, weak. But other than that its not as bad as some may say. Ok, the glitch part, its bad bad bad. But by making mroe saves you can avoid most of the problems. Yes, its sad they don't do the HK part when there are so many hints in the story. But apart from that, and the unclear ending (yes its the problemetic ending again) of BaoDur everything is fine. I wish they would come up a "redubbed" version with fixed endings, maybe release it as part of a "kotor triology" box set?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f5lesnar Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I had bought TSL first and enjoyed it, then bought the first game and am loving it. I have characters from each game that I dislike and rarely use(ok its shows more in TSL). But overall I feel the characters in the first game were more intriguing than the second.

DarthVandar205 Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 The TSL characters are more creative and not so black and white but what really bugs me about it is the ton of dialogue you have to read just in one sitting and the fact that the game does a lousy job of deleting dialogue choices youve already picked so you dont have to accidentally waste time repeating the same stuff and not remembering what youve already read and what you havent.

PoiuyWired Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Well, the characters themselves can be good, but the way it is done is kinda weak I have to say. The quests themselves are sometimes to easily missed. Like, G0t0 is a good concept, but the way it is done(and his related story) is so poor that g0t0 ends up the least liked character. Atton is done smoothly, a rarity in the series. BaoDur lacks a good ending due to the cut content thingy. Handmaiden... I mean, I wish there is more to it. At lease something close to the Bastila/Revan thingy. Visas... her whole story is wonderful, and unlike handmaiden you at least get to "make out" with her... but her so called "side quest" is cramped into a single long dialogue sequence. She could have been so much more. Michel/lowlife we call Desciple... annoying basturd and not so interesting story either, basically I hate him. Nira/Hanharr... good only if you play both sides of the story, and hear both versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehomicidalegg Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 they may be less 1 dimensional in kotor2 but they are no where near as well developed as those in kotor1. in kotor1 you get to feel the character, there was a sense of closeness and progression, here they felt lacking, so many things started that were never concluded - so much potential wasted. It was almost as if a detailed character portrait is painted at the character's first meeting through the many dialogue options and then afterwards he/she is completely neglected.

Val-Dorn Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I thought that KOTOR characters were more developed and as someone said you feel close to them. Bioware has a way with Character Personality in all there games(BG series for Example) which was something TSL was missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
