Official KOTOR II Update

Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords has just had it's first update in ten years, including native widescreen, 4k and 5k resolutions and more.

For us however the most important thing is that the restored content is part of the update, making it all official Legends content.

The update was made by Aspyr Media, the same company responsible for KOTOR on Google Play Store.

It took ten years, but progress was made.

Got linked to this a couple hours ago, still giddy about it! Summer playthrough here I come Happy Dance

Been needing to replay it anyway since I literally just started my Fanfic based around the Lost Jedi after Surik left.... Now I've got a nice excuse big grin

If not for LucasArts, Obsidian would have done all this from the start but didn't get the permission, they had patches planned for release but it never happened.

At least now we can treat Restored Content as Legends.

It's a shame the Restored content mod isn't even the best of it. Still misses a lot of Malachor.

Huh

So Sion getting humiliated by Nihilus, yet still not dying, gets added to Sion's useable feats :hmm

Whatever the original intent of the scene was?

Not currently what's in the game or how the story plays out

Just food for thought :hmm

How is the walking corpse surviving an actual feat for him when Kreia survived?

I'm guessing the only point of the scene was to show how gg Nihilus was supposed to be, since his bossfight was terrible. Much like the dialogue that needed to be shown to prove how much he was beating us.

Take note that may well have been changed, we do not know what advances Aspyr Media made themselves with that content.

However that is a possibility yes.

Not seeing what you're getting at

Traya's more powerful than Sion... so why's that make this less impressive?

Sion gets some nice durability feats out of this is all I was noting

Be it the rape Nihilus gives him or eating a force crush or 2 from Traya IIRC

Said cut content was included in this official patch for KOTOR II, this makes it Legends 'canon'.

Generally being part of an official update is acknowledging it as part of the official game kiddo

When you consider this was originally meant to be KOTOR II as Obsidian envisioned it then all this does is make it official for us.

Sion dies literally all the time. Sion loses to Atton. His whole thing is that he dies literally a lot, and just comes back. The fact that he can get back up after Nihilus hits him isn't really that impressive.

It kind of is seeing as how part of his power set is over the top regen and pseudo immortality

The benchmark upper limit to permanently killing Sion with brute force (Force Powers, not beheading with a lightsaber) becomes "you need to be stronger than Nihilus"

Take off the Star Wars goggles, on a multi fictional level this makes the ****er hard to permanently can for plenty of lower tiered series. :maybe

Sion can lose to Atton depending entirely upon how well trained Atton is by that point. Brianna went from last of the handmaidens to stomping all five simultaneously and stalemating Atris due to Surik's training, Atton going from an elite Jedi killer to being capable of defeating Sion is far from out of proportion given his party's own advances.

Kind of funny too

How its not a feat for Atton, yet somehow supposed to diminish Sion's standing

Doesn't make Sion weak to possibly lose to Atton, especially with his general repertoire of powers.

It makes Atton strong.

What are you talking about? There is no way to "permanently kill Sion." That's his entire character. It has nothing to do with Star Wars, you know besides the fact he lived a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, and has everything to do with the fact he literally does not stay dead. Being stronger than him does not matter. He has to want to die. Because he does actually each time he is killed, and dead is dead. He just comes back.

That's all gameplay, and considering Atton was alive in the original version of this game, I'm guessing he doesn't canonically lose.

So

Guess we can just chuck him at the Living Tribunal and he'll never die then

Do you even debate this shit? :hmm

The concept of no limits fallacy seems to elude you dude.
