I think this just leaves Halo CE to appear on Steam and I will be out of games that I would like to see on Steam.
Will get this eventually. I can't play it on 360 because the game gets buggier the further in I get.

If I'm having a hard time running the original without it crapping out, what chance do I have of running the sequel properly?
I don't remember 2 being better than the original, though it did have a few conveniences I appreciated, like the empty label on containers I already looted. Still, I've always wanted to see what was left undone, and now's as good a time as any. I'll add it to the Steam list of things I'll play one of these days.

PC version? Just look around for some fixes, if possible. That's how I got Max Payne 1 on Steam to work properly.

Aside from the characters and the mind fuck that was the unmasking of Revan, I too enjoyed the sequel more than the original. Nar Shaddaa and Onderon were the dopeness.
The hardcore RPG corners of the internet largely prefer KotoR II to the original, although I think that's only with patching and mods (like the restoration mod). It's probably also because hardcore RPG nerds love Obsidian and hate Bioware.
KoToR2 was fantastic. I remember thinking, "there's no way this game can compare to KoToR," but holy shit did it. Even with all the bugs and cut content, the story was fantastic.
Peragus = Star Wars vs Survival Horror.
Much better way to start the game than Taris. That and you almost start the game with Force Powers, and nothing particularly powerful so you can really feel the progression as you level yourself up. And the game bars you from a lightsaber for a good little while (much like the first) so you have to rely on other weapons than the series bog-standard. And the game makes ranged weapons not only viable, but actually competent against Jedi. Whoa.
And, you know, item creation in general. You always could customize how your characters grew, but you could do the same for their weapons. Even moreso than in the first because there were a lot more options and slots for everything, and everything was interchangeable. Imagine a pair of lightsabers fully-kitted for maximal magic power. Awww yeah. And Force Forms! My God Force Forms.

I'll admit, I've pirated this game on PC in the past due to a lack of availability from Steam. I'm not particularly proud to admit that, and it certainly isn't justified, but I did it. Now I no longer have an excuse, and I'd be more than happy to add it to my Steam Library next to Kotor I.
Oh, and Kotor II, for all its problems, is still 10 times better as a single player, story driven game than Swtor will ever be. Fuck free to play. Spend $10 and buy this game. Download the restoration mod if you really need it. Thank me later.

Add me to the "I prefer the sequel" club! And I agree with DF, the start of the game (including the tutorial with the T3 something) is awesome. The suspense really hooks you up.
Way better than the first and I played the first one second. Oh dear I did it again.... Shout out to Phil
Yet another game that i own boxed that wont play nice on windows 7 and want to buy on steam in the hope that it would actually run without having to mod and script and research for at least a couple hours.
Sadly like a few other games i bought on steam with the same wicked sense of moronicness thinking it might actually work fine after the download KoTOR 1 needs patches to run half decently amongst other a No-CD patched .exe and i seriously doubt that the intention of valve or bioware is for me to spend my money on it only to revert to hacks to get my moneys worth and it springs to mind that it would be more easy to just torrent a working version then to re-buy this sequel and having to go true a patching nightmare once more.
If hackers can make pre-patched smooth running versions then why cant bioware/valve and if there are minimum specs then why not have maximum specs? ... i for one lost faith in steam/valve after recently buying games like the first 3 fallout games and KotOR seeing as they sell broken games.

I don't remember too much about 2 but I remember being super overpowered by about 3/5ths through the game.
Do not recommend buying old games that are not 100% sure to run on newer PCs through stuff like Steam(or Origin), because if you need to get in and start tweaking or replacing .exe files then its better to use a stand alone version. Steam is a pretty invasive DRM, and will nanny the fuck out of modded game files.
Of course you could just buy it on Steam and see if it runs well... if not, then thats half the reason torrents exist.
@Arrested first one was like that too, just like every other Bioware-esque game. Actually just about every RPG is like that, especially if you play RPGs enough to notice it :p

Played this game on many occasions straight through the night and into breakfast.... Get this shit on steamplay so I don't hafta boot into bootcamp everytime I wanna play, and I"m in.
I've always felt this game is under-appreciated.
Hopefully, this Steam re-release will help it find a new audience.

I always loved KOTOR2 and felt those who said the first was better missed the point of the game. It was never about a big revelation that would affect your character like in KOTOR. It was more subtler and dared to question the very nature and the concepts of the Force.
Aah, excellent. Played the first, but never got to this one. And here I thought today was a day in which I wasn't going to buy a game.
@hemelskonijn: I'm planning on keeping my current PC (an XP box) around when I finally upgrade, so I'll still be able to play games that have problems on Win7/8.
For that matter, I've got my old Win 98 compatible box lying around that I need to stick a new PSU in which will let me play my even older games that won't run under XP. Not that much fun, but it's better than letting old games sit on the shelves doing nothing!

I loved KOTOR2 more than the first until the ending, because there wasn't one. If there was going to be a sequel that continued my choices or just showed the consequences of my actions properly there would be no contest.
The Sith Lords themselves were utterly brilliant too. Darth Sion the Scottish Darth Maul, his blackened torso held together entirely by hate. Darth Nihilus, the void of corruption sucking the life out of entire planets who speaks entirely through the Force. And Darth Traya... well, we won't get into this one.

@FragDad i still have some old machines hanging around (including all my old consoles) but that is besides the point. If they re-release the game for a "new" platform it should work without moronic hacks or scripting on current gen tech.
That being said i figured out that while my pc wont even show anything past the splash screen my laptop (win 7x64 i5) i can actually run it as long as i have the screen resolution setting page open. Which makes me wonder why dont they make use of the magic thing that happens in the background when you open the windows control panel for screen resolutions so i dont have to open that panel every time i want to play a game?

I remember this one being buggy as hell. I have heard that the new fan patch makes the game playable and even expands on it. I will most likely go ahead and pick this up.
