    If I start out playing JKII before I even play JKI, will that ruin or take anything away from experiencing the entire feeling of playing Kyle Katarn? Will I be missing anything really big, such as big battles or storylines?

    I didn't play JK before JO. I still enjoyed it.

    Would I get a better understanding of the series if i played the first game anyway?

    Of course. But you'd have to start with Dark Forces, then Jedi Knight, then Mysteries of the Sith if you wanted to understand the full gaming background of the main character, Kyle Katarn.

    Nothing stopping you playing those earlier games AFTER Outcast, then you can have your own "prequel revelations", just like the movies ;)

    I don't think you really need to, I did play JK, but not Dark Forces, but I really didn't need to, Kyle was a Jedi, but almost turned to the darkside, so he stopped using the Force, JO begins.

    I didnt play JK before playing JO. I loved JO, I think its one of the best games I've ever played.

    I'm now going back and playing JK because of it.

    It would better if you did. It helps give a better understanding of the game.
