Title: KOTOR 2 restored content
Post by: viper37 on October 21, 2009, 10:38:50 AM
I've played with patch 1.0a, but they've now fixed some more bugs in 1.0c:

If you liked Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, I recommend trying this :)

I had lots of fun playing this, despite minor bugs.

I played as a female this time, and a little less toward the light then before, so it was fun using the lighting stuff to quickly dispatch tons of ennemies :D

Team Gizka seems to be pretty much dead, with only one member left, and that one being busy with a girl.

So what's it do?

I imagine it takes out the gimped ending that shipped with the game.  There's a ton of orphaned content in the build... I forget the exact details.

The droid factory on the planet being reclaimed, for instance.

It restores the following content:

There are some different quests, and there's a new level, a HK-50 factory that you can find and destroy :)

There are also other mods you can get, for better graphics, and for a new planet, the Jedi Temple on Coruscant (wich is quite like the Jedi enclave on Dantooine).

The game is longer&better.

And yes, it is my opinion that Team Gizka is dead.

I wonder if it works with my german version of Kotor or if I have to by the english one.

It probably won't work, as this restores the content of the english edition, so you'd get messed up dialogues/texts.
But you don't have to buy it.  You can, say, search for it...


@Tyr:
Yeah, I'd say it makes it almost on par with the first one story-wise.
Nearly as long as the first one too.  But since you've got more characters, you'd need to switch characters a little more often to get all their related stories, wich I didn't.
Still is worth it, imho, as it's free.

It seems the mod is completed.

QuoteGiven its original state at release, it's a credit to Knights of the Old Republic 2 that people still look back on it with such fondness. Part epic adventure, part brutal deconstruction of Star Wars and many of its most familiar tropes, and unfortunately, only part finished by the time it hit shelves, it was definitely a ride. Now, that ride can be completed properly, with the Sith Lords Restored Content mod hitting v1.8 and declaring its mission finally over.

ebay and amazon have copies for ~1$15 though.  I did see an Xbox version for something like $150.  I assume it is unopened.

Alright I will get a used copy off Amazon.  Man I loved that game.  It will be fun to play it again.  Presuming, of course, the mod is as good as advertised.  Man it sucks there was no KOTOR3.

Btw, KotOR2 is now available on Steam for a tenner.
