Commando's good for what it is, has some flaws, but the story more than gameplay is what drives KOTOR.
KOTOR 2 isn't nearly as good however... Not that it's bad, it's just a lot of duplication of the first I'm afraid.
I would have to agree to a point with Jesse here, but I really liked the changes that were made in KOTOR2. I don't want to ruin the story for anyone, so I won't get into them with details. The best has to do with light and dark side and the main party plus the bonus to one and offering different characters to join your party when light/dark side and/or male/female. Overall it's much like KOTOR. The story is better in the first KOTOR, but I think the characters were cooler in KOTOR2 minus some back stories for them.
Odd thing happen to me when playing the first KOTOR, a glich changed the Wookiee character Jaalbar's class to a Jedi. I couldn't give him a lightsaber, but he was able to use force powers. I still have that game saved, so when ever I want to have a Wookiee Jedi to play he is there. I really fun game for RPG gamers a must, and if you can take the long game play I would recommand to Star Wars fans too.
As far as figures go, I'm all for more... I feel if they're going to delve into an EU property, Hasbro should cover more than 2 or 3 figures from said property. I think it'd be really great if you were able to, somehow, get a figure that was slightly "customizeable" to make a close approximation of your character from the game, however I don't see how it would be possible.
I'd be cool with getting some of the main party characters though, maybe a Sith/Republic Trooper, a Sith/Republic Officer... Maybe an alien or two from one of the planets you visit since their designs are quite Star Wars-ish and fit in.
I wouldn't go overboard at once on KOTOR figures, but mixed in here and there and I"d love to see quite a few actually.
I would have to totally agree here about the figures. There are many cool characters I would love to have as figures, but we could get floaded fast. Maybe a few here and there would be the best. With that said I would like to see some more Shadows of the Empire figures made, or at least the ones that we got resculpted.
