Bit of a vague post, but here goes;

Had an urge to play Mass Effect, but I wanted to try something different, but similar.

Should I play the first one first? Or can I play the second one without missing anything? The only reason I ask, is that from screenshots, number one looks slightly dated. I'm not ruling it out, it's just it'll seem like a backwards step coming from mass effect instead of a sideways one.

Any other reccomendations? Any mods I should use and such?

Thanks
 
Play number one regardless, it (in my opinion) is better then the second anyway - and is absoloutely fantastic! Seriously awesome.

Funnily enough i cant remember if the two are linked, but do not think they are... (i await to be corrected)
 
I would advise you to play the first one first (Some references to the first in the second) and I thought the graphics actually looked nicer than the second =/
 
definately play the first one. it is simply a fantastic game. Second one was good but it just didn't draw me in like the first
 
Lots of mods, google KOTORfiles.

KOTOR2 is a direct sequel set 5 years later and thus spoils the first game (although you can decide through conversation what happened when you play). It also adds a lot of backstory prior to both.
 
Mass effect would be a really good game if it wasnt for the unreal 3 no aa for my system issue. I hate the bad jaggies on that game even with 1600x res.

Indeed, one of my favourite games too. I read that KoToR was done by Bioware and that they're similar. Going to get KoTor now :)

Yea same guys, its quite similar in ways - i just think the star wars theme edges it over Mass Effect, not only that but the Story, well the twist in KoToR is superb, it is like living a film!

Loved every second of it!
 
Must give that a try too, kept meaning to but I spose I can't play everything.
Bought Mass Effect today actually, will get round to it in about three months when I've finnished fallout 3, lol.

Definitely play the first one. Superb story.
Second is decent as well- better gameplay elements, though the story is (imo) weaker than the first.
 
Seconded opinions on the above KOTOR is a great game, not played the second 1 yet it's here on my desk waiting for me to install it..., prolly do it when i got time off over crimbo

Mass Effect is also excellent, Skeeter i would not worry about the AA issue, ME still looks fine without it, but you can force it on if you want aswell
