These characters would be Atton, Mandalore, Bao Dur, Visas, Handmaiden(Brianna) and of course, Kreia ( who's going to have her own section, she's THAT good). Granted, they are not as "important" in terms of the franchise as Jolee and Juhani but they bring a lot more in terms of character development which ultimately makes them more interesting to listen to and have in the party. KOTOR 2 on the other hand I would say at the very least three strong characters and at most six. The Good: KOTOR 2 From top left: Atton, Bao dur, Mandalore, Handmaiden,Kreia,Visas,T3-M4, Mira,HK-47, G0-T0.

The only thing I don't like about this clip is the person modded Juhani to look more stereotypically "beautiful." I don't like it one bit as the mod seems to imply that there is something wrong with how Juhani looks but I'm probably just reading into it too much. The idea of shades of gray are introduced by Jolee and then expanded upon the second game.įun fact: Jade Empire actually did a fairly good job of contextualizing their Dark side or "Way of the Closed Fist" much more as a "standing on your own " ideology that gets twisted.
You're not evil like Darth Vader, you're a punk robbing people of lunch money. The way of the Gray was a pretty novel idea, even now where most games with moral choices make you either a goody-two-shoes or a complete jerk. Jolee though, is an extremely important character in my opinion as he is one of the first times in any Star Wars games that you come across a character who is disillusioned with the Jedi Order and the strict adherence to the "Light Side." It raises interesting questions as his choices then imply the fact that there is so much more to the Force than those two points of view and further accentuating that the Darkside is necessarily "evil but a different point of view that gets twisted. Also worth noting that Bastila's fall to the Dark side makes NO SENSE. Coupled to that, the two of them supplant you really as the main character as their needs and goals become the driving force of the game, not yours. Carth is always go on on about trust and how he doesn't trust you and then Bastila is constantly scolding and lecturing you about the Dark side it's exhausting. Carth and Bastila aren't really worth discussing as they just aren't very interesting. Both of them represent something very important to the evolution of not only Star Wars but games in general. No I would say the two best in KOTOR 1 are Juhani and Jolee. Canderous is a personal favorite but I just love listening to his stories and besides, he get a whole lot better in KOTOR 2. Yes HK-47 is very funny but he's just a killer droid not much else. I would argue for KOTOR 2 there are only 2 really interesting characters. Now let's be fair both games have their share of great characters. Anyway though, let's kick it off! Also keep it mind there will be spoilers!Ĭharacters The Good: KOTOR 1 Clockwise from top left: Bastila, Canderous, Carth, Juhani, Zaalbar, T4-M4, Mission, HK-47, Jolee Of course it should be known that if Obsidian was allowed to actually finish the game they wanted to, we would not be having this conversation at all as KOTOR 2 would be definitively better as opposed to the underdog that it is. I am not going to use any cut content as evidence to back up my claim during the following proceedings.

There have been several "Restoration mods" that have worked to restore these into the game with varying success(I do encourage you to download them if you have it on PC) Here is the dilemma: how should we deal with this? The answer is simple: whatever was on the disk AND PLAYABLE is counted.
The majority of the cut content are actually still in the files of the game. However, many people can point at games that also had lofty ambitions that they did not reach but KOTOR 2 is different in this case.
