TBH, the only reason KOTOR was so great was because it had a Star Wars setting. Other than that, it was pretty mediocre. The games wouldn't have survived without the SW setting. But then again, I think Jade Empire was extremely overrated.
I loved Neverwinter Nights and Planescape: Torment. I've yet to properly play Baldur's Gate 2 (PC). But I liked the console hack'n'slash edition of Baldur's Gate. Very different from the originals though. Looking forward to Neverwinter Nights 2, seeing as it's Obsidian creating it (Planescape: Torment). I'll keep an eye on everything Bioware churns out too, but I'm more sceptic towards the console titles.
