User blog comment:MEffect Fan/The better KOTOR./@comment-737801-20100915220150

Considering I have played through both many times, I really had to think about it. KotOR had quite a number things that were great about it, and so did KotOR II. I think that if LucasArts had not forced Obsidian to release KotOR II early, with loads of cut content, then we probably would have enjoyed KotOR III. However that is speculation. I really did have a good time playing both games, however I would have to say that KotOR was better.

KotOR II had multiple cuts and it left some storyline holes and some glitches. It did have a better item customization system and the places were also pretty good, but it was the disjointed story, cut content, and that really bad ending that did it in for me.

KotOR was only slightly better, and this is me being an optimist, if KotOR II had been released in its entirety, then it probably would have improved over KotOR. Unfortunately, for multiple reasons, it didn't, but nevertheless, KotOR II was still a great game.
