Pros
Pro Choose your own path
Instead of a straightforward plot, you can add some depth to your character. At different points throughout the game you will be able to choose either good or evil - much deeper than other games of its time.
Pro Historical figures and locations
The story will take you through history, meeting up with historic figures like Shakespeare, and Leonardo Da Vinci and visiting actual places such as Barcelona. It helps bridge the gap between fantasy and real life, bringing players further into the game.
Pro Longevity through multiple playthroughs thanks to the sheer amount of text and choices to be found in the game
The games story is pretty deep and the text that can be found within that, tells it will take multiple playthroughs to see it all, making for not only a good reason to play many times, but creates the feeling of a very deep universe.
Pro Many mods
You can find many community-created mods that improve the game.
Pro Gameplay holds up well
For what is now an eleven year old game, the classic Bioware RPG game mechanics such as branching dialog and turn based battles similar to a CRPG (where the player must pause the gameplay in order to choose their commands to then un-pause in order to watch their chosen strategy play out) hold up well.
Pro Engaging story thanks to the superb writing
Being a role playing game, KotOR has a pretty long story that the player feels connected to that luckily was written well, making for a good story that is very engaging.
Pro Handles Star Wars license well
Seeing things like Jedi vs Sith and politics in the game that are now staples of the newer movies helps to feel as though the game fits into the cannon quite well. With so many movie license games in the past being quick cash-ins it is great to see the Star Wars license used in a manner that fits with the cannon and of high quality development.
Cons
Con Limited audio tracks
The original tracks are great, however you will get very familiar with the songs because of how few of them there are. There are long gaps between when songs are played as well, leaving much to be desired on the audio front of this game.
Con Combat is very basic
Combat happens very quick, and because of the low resolution you can't see enemies until they are virtually right on you. Combat itself is very basic - left click on a target to melee attack them, and right clicking will use your abilities on the target.
Con Somewhat buggy
Crashes can happen while playing, while not a huge deal they can be annoying.
