KOTOR 1: "Oh no, the galaxy is in danger! We need to assemble a merry band of lovable misfits to save the galaxy from evil!"
KOTOR 2: "The least weird member of your team is Granny Nietzsche, who is insisting you have to kick the puppies for the sake of the galaxy. Good luck."
The first KOTOR game has fun charming little character interactions that sort of imply at friendships abd dynamincs between the companions themselves and beyond just the player, so it kind of rules that KOTOR 2 has just the worst vibes in every one of those interactions.
