The sinister scenario that draws Part II is not comparable in any case with the heroic atmosphere of its predecessor, but therein lies the strength. It's dark, menacing and nerve-wracking, apocalyptic mood, all hope seems lost, and also the main character seems at first to fight only by the world in order to survive.
The characters come to me mostly clearly thought out before, if only Kreia shines in her role as a mysterious mentor, you can assign either side until the end. Were the fronts clear yet definitiert in KOTOR I, distributed the roles clearly, they verschminnen now and blur the classic Good-and-Evil scheme. The threat is everywhere, and in the center of events is a Jedi Knight, which is common as female. She knows all sides, has been involved from the beginning especially, has retired and now gets again into the focus of events. Again it is after having lost their connection to power, designed for Jedi and eventually can decide which side they want to serve. She is aware of its history and its responsibility fully aware and not uprooted as their counterparts in KOTOR I. Although I as a historical person clearly more like Revan, the Charrakterdarstellung of an exile in my eyes several times gelugener.
The character system offers far more possibilities, which path you want to follow. The characters can achieve a higher level and evolve according versatile. Add to this the introduction of prestige classes that allow specialization.
Then was unfortunately somewhat fudged towards the end. The original story was changed, and it shows in the many small voices errors that gradually accumulate. Yet it seems to me clearly diverse, more profound and especially gloomy, so I stick to my opinion: KOTOR II does not need to hide behind its prob, in many ways it surpasses even these.
