Kotor and Kotor II are on par in nearly every regard and in some ways it surpasses the OT. For one both plots are simple and both have the best plot twist in their respective genres though I feel like the “No, I am your father.” twist is better even though I was already privy to the twist before I watched the OT in it’s totality for the first time. In terms of general plot I’m going to have to give Kotor the edge because moral dilemmas make for a more interesting story than the OT being all Good vs Evil. At it’s core Kotor is Good vs Evil but a lot of what you do to achieve that can be in the grey area. Jolee’s side quest being the best example of this. In terms of characters Kotor has it hands down. There are so many fleshed out characters Kotor it make the characterization and such in the OT look like child’s play. From the moral dilemmas they have to they arguments and banter that occurs between characters are far more fixated on than what was shown in the OT. But it’s kind of unfair to compare the two because on is a 20+ hour video game and the other are only 6 hours worth of film. And the result of that is that gives the characters and environment to be fleshed out more.
