KOTOR II, do I need to play the first one first?
Got a new computer and mostly play 1st person shooters. I heard good things about KOTOR II so I bought it before reading reviews for a change of pace. Now that I have it, I see some reviews saying there is a fair amount of things going on in this game that you would only get if you played the first one. Should I go out and get KOTOR I before I play the 2nd one?

Yes, a lot of time was spent talking about certain characters from the first game, while you could get away with not having played the first a large chunk of the beginning and bit in the middle conversations would mean squat to you. Besides IMO KOTOR had a much more coherant story then KOTOR2, which had random things happen that never get explained and way too many fetch quests.

No . . .
But IMHO the first one is not only a better game, it gives you alot of background story material about locations and characters. Since the first one is at a low price now you should get it anyway.

I'm I the only one here who generally enjoys KOTOR II but feels it's damn tedious compared to KOTOR I? KOTOR I may spoil you when you go back to KOTOR II.

I agree completely, which is the biggest reason I say the first needs to be played, not as many fetch quests and level design felt natural, not like a dungeon that nobody lives in.
