>more than double the amount of feats
>more than double the amount of Force Powers
>the addition of a new influence system that makes character interaction much more interesting, including the ability to train companions into Jedi or Sith and teach them Force Powers
>the addition of a new in-depth crafting system where having a higher rank in a skill (repair/computer/awareness/demolitions/stealth/security/treat injury) lets you craft different items, equipment and equipment mods
>the addition of actual skill checks; in Kotor 1 only (Force) Persuade was ever checked and it was basically an insta-win button for quests
>lightside/darkside points are now attached to all interactions and dialogue responses, not just for completing quests like in Kotor 1
>equipment is far more interesting and varied
>various other improvements, such as the addition of unarmed combat, prestige classes, force forms and lightsaber stances
>much more variety in gameplay and level design; there is nothing in Kotor 1 like the defense of Khoonda or the vision quest on Korriban
>a beautiful orchestral score, with each area in the game having its own unique track; Kotor 1's score consisted of low quality synthesized music, and the same tracks were lazily reused for different areas
>12 companions, an increase compared to Kotor 1's 9 companions
>companions actually have unique abilities and feats, unlike Kotor 1 where every companion is completely generic from a gameplay standpoint
>a humongous leap in the quality of storytelling, dialogue and voice acting
>actual Jedi robes (instead of the lame tunics of the first game) and facial hair, meaning you can finally LARP as a badass Jedi Master
>all this with a development time of barely a year and made by a newly formed studio and a tiny development team; by comparison, Kotor 1 had a development time of more than 3 years with an experienced studio and a big development team
Why is Kotor 1 considered the superior game?
Kotor 1 vs Kotor 2
It's not, who are you quoting? The vast majority of people who remember the kotor duology recognizes 2 as the superior game.
There are creative people, and then there's autists. It takes a creative person to come up with something, and it takes an autist to perfect it. On their own a bunch of autists are bound to fail every time they try to work from scratch, as Obsidian's sad history has shown us.
>It's not
It is. If you look at say those "top 10 bst STar Wars games" lists Kotor 1 is generally #1 while Kotor 2 is usually not even included.
Outside of reddit, the first one is considered the superior game.
2 is better than 1
He's correct though
That's because most people didn't even play kotor 2. I'm talking about actual fans.
>Why is Kotor 1 considered the superior game?
It's not. Not on Yea Forums at the very least.
>sequel has more content
holy shit who could have predicted that?!
kotor 2 was literally unfinished
