I know it's dirt cheap but I still don't like to waste money. Considering that I'm not a fan of recent BioWare games (Dragon Age and Mass Effect) and I only think Star Wars is alright, is this game still a worthwhile investment? 
 
Also, this game is somewhat old and I'm on a laptop running WIndows 7 and and integrated graphics card, so will it even run? 

This game is phenomenal, although I am not sure how well it has aged
 
edit: its $2.49 dude, just buy it

YES

I just bought it yesterday and it runs fine on my Windows 7 machine.  Also the combat is quite fun.  More similar to Dragon Age than Mass Effect but it is different than Dragon Age.  Kind of feels like a fusion between the two with its own little quirks.  Only played an hour, but definitely like it a lot so far.

Only if you want to play one of the greatest games of all time.

it's no KOTOR2, but it's alright for being from bioware

I liked Kotor 1 more than 2. It had that classic Star Wars feel yet with something new. Kotor 2 just felt like they tried too hard.

This is the one you want.

I rolled over and bought it even though I have it on xbox, and I just got all gta games excluding 4, for $7. Steam, how do you do it?

KOTOR 1 had like, 2 likable characters at best, and none of them were particularly well written. KOTOR 2's characters are all well written (well maybe not the wookie but whatever)

Well this seems fairly unanimous. I've spent more for a flash game (VVVVVV) so I figure I at least owe this a try for this price.

The characters were better but the main thread was terrible in my opinion.

2 had better characters and overall gameplay... 1 had the  better story and twist... and not just by a small margin...
So yeah it is totally worth it if you haven't played it before.

Yes, I've started replaying it myself recently, and it holds up pretty well. There's still some jank in it, for sure, but it's still honestly one of the greatest games of all time, and my favorite BioWare game. This is coming from someone who loves Jade Empire and thinks Mass Effect is the best franchise of this console generation.

@BubbleBobble: Nobody wants that and it doesn't want anybody. I don't think I ever even got off Hoth without cheating.

KOTOR for $2.50 sounds like one of the best deals ever. I have a feeling it might have aged a little funky but I'm sure it's still fantastic.

Greatest game of all time, YES you should!

Only if you want to play one of the greatest games of all time.

I'm in the process of playing through it for the 4th time. It's one of my favourite games of all time (sigh, can you tell?). I'm not having trouble with it, even via shoddy 360 emulation. Then again, I might be blindly wearing nostalgia goggles while playing it--no idea.

That you don't like Mass Effect OR Dragon Age just says a lot about your taste... which isn't the greatest.

you don't like super popular games which means you have bad taste in games yeah GG

I enjoyed 1 more than 2 to be honest. The sequel has a massively disappointing ending that feels like no one cared to even try. Then again, it was made by Obsidian so maybe that goes without saying.

Bastila is a pretty bomb character imo. Certainly worth the price of a burger. Know going into it that the combat system isn't exactly real time like Mass Effect. It plays out in real time but you can tell that there are turns taking place.

oh wait you mean the game that was rushed out in 8 months?

(and was actually written well)

Yes. To be fair, it doesn't hold up under close inspection, but for $2.50 it's a steal.

Well that was the hope for most people as to why the story had a complete "wtf?" moment for an ending. I'm assuming you completed it too. Do you not agree that the finish made you go "... seriously?"

Hells Yea!!!!!! I may just have to buy it for PC for that price! Get I now, though im sure ya did already right.........?

Meh.

I thought kotor 2 was pretty mediocre and  extremely buggy compared to kotor 1

Yes. To be fair, it doesn't hold up under close inspection, but for $2.50 it's a steal.

I think it definitely holds up, but this is also coming from the guy who played Fallout 1 for the first time 10 years after it was released and still thought it was one of the greatest games ever. If you can appreciate art-style and story instead of modern graphics and streamlined gameplay then absolutely yes.
