10 Video Game Sequels That Made The Original Even Better

10. Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic II

The sequel to Knights Of The Old Republic had a lot to prove, especially since Bioware was no longer at the helm, but instead we got Obsidian Entertainment, the guys who would go on to make Fallout: New Vegas. And much like Fallout: New Vegas, bad project scheduling led to the game coming out rushed and missing a ton of content.

But even with the vanilla game, the story shines through as something that improves KOTOR in retrospect.

For one, it goes way more into Darth Revan's history, his reasoning for turning on the Jedi, thanks to the POV character being one of Revan's former soldiers, and one of your first companions being Revan's first master, Kreia. It also adds shades of grey to the light vs dark conflict seen in the original, which feels complimentary to what the previous game set up, rather than contradictory.

KOTOR becomes just one side of the story, the other side of which is provided by KOTOR 2.
