I think he means that KotOR is relatively linear and somewhat "light" compared to the more "hardcore" RPGs like, uh... I don't know. Baldur's Gate 2? But compared to most recent RPGs, IMO, KotOR is positively un-lite. (Yes, that includes BD. BD doesn't even have different choices for male and female characters, and dialogue options are limited as heck.)
ToEE is a tactical game with obligatory RPG clothing. No more, no less.
