Kotor I is a classic. Sadly Kotor II I never could get past the first world.
The first world is a chore, no doubt about that. But the rest of the game is totally worth it. Be sure to install TSLRCM and give the game a second chance, you won’t regret it.
KOTOR 2 is maybe the best thing Star Wars has ever produced. Period. The game has so many themes and ideas, but never bogs you down with them - you still get to kick ass as a Jedi with a lightsaber. It is a cliché to say that something works on so many levels, but it is true for this game. Like the Thrawn Trilogy it is Star Wars for adults.
