Bioware have average writers and average writing, you only need to check Kotor's and Jade Empire's. Bioware hasn't been the same after Baldur's Gate 2. And as for The Witcher, it had no hype whatsoever, from an unknown polish developer, and still had a fair amount of great score: 9/10 Joystick, PC Jeux 90%, X6 6/6 are some that I can think of (which by the way, are not present in gamerankings.com). The game's negative points were just that the combat was a bit clunky and the graphics do not push PC standards (but it's graphics are still better than most PS3/360), but that's mostly because reviewers are harsher at PC games. NWN 2: Mask of the Betraye was developed by Obsidian, which has already been confirmed as a better RPG developer than Bioware: Kotor 2(Obsidian) was, bugs aside, superior to Kotor 1(Bioware) in every way; NWN2 (Obsidian) is vastly superior to NWN1 (Bioware) |
In the future, it would be nice if you could put statements like the part I bolded near the top of your post so people can more easily discredit your post and stop reading it immediately. I know loads of people who love the KOTOR series yet there seems to be one constant amongst them all... KOTOR1 is superior to KOTOR2. Gamerankings and Metacritic echo the same sentiment. |
Kotor 2 was vastly superior to Kotor 1 on PC, because of all the added content plus good multiple endings. So, Kotor 2 IS better than Kotor 1. Neverwinter Nights 1 had like 95% on average, yet NWN 2 is widely considered to be better than NWN1 ever was.

KotOR 2 recycled almost every element of KotOR. Atton == Carth for example.
I actually played KotOR after KotOR 2 so I was pretty disappointed to see so much in common. They're both good games, but Obsidian dropped the ball with KotOR 2 the more I reflect upon it. In playing KotOR, I began to notice "Hmm that looks familiar. That too. These character remind me KotOR2, strange." Heck, the first level of both games is like Deja Vu, only Bioware doesn't make the player waste as much time there as Obsidian does.
Obsidian improved on several things, but they lacked originality. |
Do research before you post,
Obsidian were being pressured and only had 13 months to make Kotor 2 for the Xbox,
while Bioware had 3 full years developing Kotor 1. They couldn't afford to be creative, as it spends resources and time that they didn't have. Bioware wouldn't have done better than Obsidian in such short time. If you want to really compare both games, then check the PC versions, Kotor 2 PC will change your mind then.
