In the first game, items you acquired could sometimes be upgraded, if they were very advanced. The game has added new features related to items. There's at least one planet in the game where you are presented with two morally diverse factions, and unless you pick the obviously most good one, despite certain factors indicating that supporting the other side might be a good idea, you are railroaded onto the Dark Side ending of the game. It's a lot easier to play Dark Side, and the game seems to have been designed for this - an annoying circumstance, as I prefer light side. Like the first game, your character starts out morally neutral, and his or her choices award Dark or Light Side points. annoying-ness, is that one very important party member influences you towards the Dark Side, and gaining influence with this character usually moves you towards the Dark Side. One interesting thing, whose distinctiveness makes up for it's mild. Unlike the first game, you have to be careful what you say to these characters, because certain things gain influence, making it easier to make their characters more powerful and to find out about their pasts other things lose interest. Like the first game, you travel around and pick up distinct and interesting party members who accompany you on your adventures. KOTOR2, like the first game, has a series of planets you must beat - first, you have to beat a couple of introductory planets, and then there are others which can be explored in any order. This was quite annoying in the first game, because you couldn't really take any melee combat feats unless you were willing to fight with a vibroblade, which frankly looks pretty pathetic in a science fiction setting, even an unrealistic space opera one like Star Wars. Despite this, you don't receive a lightsaber until nearly halfway through the game. Knights of the Old Republic II is different from the first game in that you start as a Jedi rather than as a Republic grunt. So it's understandable that I was excited to get Knights of the Old Republic II I didn't expect a repeat of the first game's quality. It was up there with Starcraft in competition for the single best game ever. The first Knights of the Old Republic video game was, in my opinion, one of the two best games of all time, the best example of the formerly stale computer roleplaying genre of all time.
