If you liked Baldurs Gate, chances are you'll like KOTOR as well. The graphics are stunning (make sure you meet the requirements though) and there is alot banter with and between your party members. Your party can hold a maximum of 2NPC's, but you can easily switch between other available characters. Overall, I really like this game. Definately one of my favorite NPC's.

Edit: To quote from a review at http://pc.ign.com/articles/441/441810p1.html ;

Before you're done with KOTOR, you will:

-train at the Jedi Academy which includes learning the Jedi Code and the meaning behind a lightsaber's color.
-walk into a cantina on Tattoine where the bartender won't like you...and the bounty hunters won't like you either!
-find somebody's lack of faith disturbing.
-explore the forest world of Kashyyk and see what "Return of the Jedi" was supposed to look like if we'd had Wookiees instead of Ewoks in treetop villages
-face your former master again after all these years.
-space-walk on the surface of a battleship

There are multiple side missions that will help expand your understanding of the story as well. So in Knights you may:

-collect a few bounties that you've hunted down.
-reunite a woman and her droid so they can resume their extremely unhealthy relationship.
-fight alongside Wookiees in a struggle for freedom.
-try a murder case or two as a Jedi attorney.
-get thrown in and escape from prison once or twice.
-smuggle for the Star Wars mafia.
-get executed for insulting a native species.
