>>36341960KOTOR 2 was not taken so seriously because it was unfinished and hard as balls compared to the first game (and, let's not mince words, had a more complex plot and characters than the first's mostly black-and-white cast)
but also remember that KOTOR 2 was written by Chris Avellone and made by Obsidian, while both KOTOR 1 and the latter releases (the MMO, the books) were written by Drew Karpyshyn and released by Bioware, of course they'd shill their creation and downplay others'
