| Mr Khan said: Huh. Khuutra's been indicating that KOTOR II is the better of the two, at least from a gameplay mechanics standpoint (whereas KOTOR just shits all over you if you don't choose a Melee class, KOTOR II is better about it, supposedly) |
The Consular is a perfectly viable choice in the original. But yeah, the makers of KOTOR II go out of their way in all their games to make multiple viable builds, and KOTOR II is no exception. Hand-to-hand, casters, even dual-wielding pistols, all are viable in II.
Skills are also way more emphasized, especially for the main character. Sentinel was a joke class in the original, but I think it's far and away the best in II because racking up all those skill points opens up plenty of non-combat options.
