Discussing about single-player games is hard
Heavily disagree with this idea. When it comes to heavily story based games like the KotOR series (or even non-SW games like Fallout:NV), you can always find tons of conversation. Even in story-light games you can manage to chat a little about the gameplay, levels, etc.
Not too much of a fan of TOR, it’s bogged down by poor writing and the MMO format a lot.
Poor writing? TOR’s writing is about on par with the other entries in the series. Even more so with the new Knights of the Fallen Empire storyline. As for the MMO aspect, they recently reworked the game so that the majority of it can be played solo.
Disagree, KotOR 2 blows it away and it’s certainly weaker than KotOR in most ways. Maybe I’m a little biased though. I only finished the Inquistor storyline which was incredibly fun at the end, but such a complete bore in the middle. Going from planet to planet and exploring new locations is great until you realize that pretty much most worldbuilding is limited to incredibly long side quests that are hard to complete along with the main quest. Traveling across the maps is also incredibly boring and I feel that most of my time spent on planets like Hoth and Tatooine was spent on my little speeder going just a tiny bit faster than normal. Then there’s the laughable animation work, the unimaginative quest design, and the fairly boring combat that leads to more issues in the experience. And in recent patches it seems combat has been dumbed down to becoming a cakewalk with all companions acting like healers for some reason.
It’s miles better than it was at launch, but that still isn’t saying much. It isn’t a worthy successor to either KotOR games.
