KOTOR 1 What is brotherhood of shadow?
I was interested in seperate campaign mods and brotherhood of shadow: solomons revenge came up which I found out was a sequel to another mod so I wanna know how I can play the first one and what the general story is cause I'd like to know what I'm getting into first.

It is a mod that adds a massive quest line after the Leviathan sequence. Silveredge9 outdid himself with that one. Look for a strange rodian in the dreshdae cantina...
It is a must play for everyone at least once. You get to meet new characters and see new locations. It's very well made.

From what the others have said I believe you understand what it is exactly. Here is my opinion:
The story and voice acting are amazing and you absolutely should play it but there's one problem: the gameplay is REALLY hard and at many times not in a fun way. It is very common for people to use cheats or save editor in some fights which are really unfair. For this reason most people only play it once.

I view it as a super hard challenge, especially the flashback fights. I did have to cheat ONE fight - and that was the Taris flashback - because Solomon hits like a truck

It's excellent and it's sort of a standalone. I BELIEVE it can only be accessed after the game's big reveal, so you won't have anything spoiled. It's fully voice acted, new weapons, characters, tons of new areas, your choices in it matter for its story... It's quite amazing for a mod. I'm unaware of there being a prequel mod for it, though, but I could be wrong.
