KotOR II: The Sith Lords Restored Content Modification talk thread

This will be the unofficial debate thread for the restored content mod started by the Gizka team.

I've been playing through the many many endings of KotOR II with the restored content mod for the first time. I have to say that if Obsidian would've been given another year.... it may just be held up as one of if not the greatest RPGs ever now.

The only down side of the mod is a few bad voice overs that the restoration team themselves had to provide dialogue for. Beyond that the TSLRCM version is many many times better than the rushed edition that Obsidian was forced to push out early by LucasArts.

The latest update is a finalized edition of 1.8.3 that comes along with the scrapped planet M4-78 in the M4-78EP patch. The team really did an excellent job putting this all together.

Now that said I am wondering what everyone else's thoughts are on the mod and any of the new content, chat away my friends.

LucasArts made them rush the game for a Christmas Xbox release and ignored the remaining 6-12 month release window they gave Obsidian in the first place. Despite numerous protests, stating the game was not finished.

They weren't even allowed to patch the game and add in the remaining content, LucasArts just ignored them.

Then LucasArts had the gall to 'officially' state that Obsidian was the one who broke their release window and then two years later admitted to covering for their PR due to the bad reception.

Avellone made this all clear.

And people wonder why Star Wars games have absolutely sucked for years, with SWTOR and possibly TFU being the lone exceptions.

No, those games are dick, too. 👆

And I considered Kotor II to be one of the greatest RPG's ever even in it's unfinished state.

No, he is on the wrong forum.

Geez, kitty got his claws out early today. AP's cool, whatever.

Eh... Those are perhaps two of the worst Star Wars games. Anyway, there have been plenty of good SW games: KotOR, Republic Comando, the Battlefronts, some of the flight games, etc.

Swtor is awesome, bro.

Debatable. It has better characters, but it's also buggy as shit. Obsidian can't code to save its life.

I consider the writing and general storytelling to simply be on another level from almost anything else though. Sure the game has shortcomings, but when something more than makes up from those aspects in others I think that should be taken into account.

SWTOR sucks

Story's shit, agreed, but the game itself is decent.

Well, consular/Inquisitor story was decent...

I never played vanilla KotOR2, I played with the restoration mod from the get-go.

I personally preferred it over KotOR, though I admit I only played vanilla KotOR. Kreia, the Exile, Visas, Atton, Atris, and Mira all turned out to be characters I found interesting.

Kreia is probably my favorite Sith.

Both games were good, but I preferred KotOR2 just a little bit more.

Jolee is probably one of the more memorable characters from KotOR. I never liked HK from either game.

Edit: I HATED M4-78. I give props to the people who took the time to restore it, but I really just wanted to get that world over with and continue the game.
