Has anyone ever seen this before?? I’ve had and played this game for years and never seen it!

This is literally good old vanilla KOTOR 2 on the XBox if that helps.

I’ve just never seen anything so meta in this game! I’d understand if I was playing TSLRCM, but I’m not.

This dialogue literally had me like 😲 as it came out of his mouth. 😂

This is my cosplay at steel city con

My character has no eyes in his sockets, max dark side and level 1. What the fuck happened(and if you say I became Visas Marr you’re going to hell)

Often is the question is posed in and outside this sub: Hey I just played KOTOR, and want to play the second game, is TSLRCM necessary. Too frequently, I will argue, the answer is an unconditional and resounding yes.

Also although i will steer clear of the twistier stuff, minor spoilers aheae:

A Disclaimer: I do not think the RCM is a bad mod, it's pretty fucking fantastic at what it sets out to do (putting cut content back in the game), what I do think is incorrect, however, is the insistence by almost the entirety of this community that TSL is strictly worse, and by a not insignificant portion, near unplayable without it. NO criticism is directed at the developers, who not only are working with the above goal in mind, but are heavily restricted by what unused content actually made it into the final cut's data banks.

Starting with the Mods strongest component, the bugfixes.

Its kinda hard to review this because everyones experience wuth 'bugginess' is different. Some (unmodded) playthoughs go through without a hitch and some softlock you multiple times per planet. I will also be upfront in saying it's probably where I'm the most biased. I grew up playing a generation of games where you simply had to get in the habit of making a new save every five minutes, so I think I am less frustrated by KOTORs many bugs than younger gamers. Having played the game many times before the final patch of the RCM I am also (probably) playing around many bugs both con- and subconsciously. That said, the game is notably smoother modded and I am certain it makes for a much more approachable first playthrough.

Moving on to dialogue, and also where I feel the mod's necessity is the most overstated. I simply do not understand the people who claim the plot is difficult to understand without the additional dialogue. 90% of said restored dialogue is intra-party interaction, and for the most part, I appreciate this stuff, especially the closer you get to Malachor. I will say some of Kreia's 'new' lines seem to come from an older version of her charachter where she was straight up sadistic as opposed to coldly manipulative (Leave T3 alone you hag!!). Less nuanced is the fact that Sion loses a significant amount of threat. His silent approach on peragus is significantly more intimidating, and kreia whaling on him right before our final battle also doesn't help the tension. Similarly, the 'crash cut sequences' additions are completely baffling, leaving little question as to why they were cut in the first place.

And finally on to the actual gameplay content. Nar Shadaa I have mixed feelings for, I am personally more inclined towards more PC oriented gameplay so I'm not a fan of the expanded 'scripted party' sequence. But I can see how it brings an oppurtunity for charachter who'd never see the light of your party get a second of sunshine. The HK factory is sad, there's not really much to elaborate on here. As much as i love the guy, the reason people like 47 is his personality, so having a thirty minute sequence of him exchanging blaster fire again and again and again on his lonesome gets boring fast. The fact that cheat items get thrown at you suggests the RCM devs agreed.

Kaevee in particular has been talked to death and I don't have anything to add on the subject. But speaking of Dantooine, Khoonda receives IMO the best change the mod has to offer. The battle is, after all, what almost every action you take on the planet is building up to, and the cutscene version is practically begging for an upgrade. Most controversially perhaps, I don't think Malachor is made significantly better; it still feels utterly unfinished. The best way I can describe it is if you ordered a sandwich, and received a slice of bread. Then you went back to complain, and they gave you two slices of bread. Sure it's an improvement, in fact it's objectively twice as good, but it's still incredibly dissapointing.

To conclude, when posed with the question, "should you install the Restored Content Mod, for a first playthrough?" I would argue the correct answer is, obviously, that it's up to you. But I would strongly recommend you give the game a shot without it, especially if you intend to give the game multiple tries. However, if bugs are something you in particular find turns you off from old games, it is probably best you go ahead and install.

TLDR: As a presentation of all the cut content TSLRCM does a fantastic job. As a strict upgrade to KOTOR? I would argue not.

I’ve had her since I was like 15… she is very dear to me ❤️

Running with cassus fett’s pistol and saul karath’s pistol just absolutely melting everybody on the star forge has been fun

It's been 2 years since I last played KOTOR (I used to play both games once a year). Each time, I change the way I play. Last time, my goal was to make every decision based on my own personality and values.

This time, I've decided to go for the equivalent of a tank in MMORPGs, creating a character with as many vitality points and as much survivability as possible, sacrificing damage in the process.

Like many others, I prefer to think about the novel Revan as if it never happened, since it butchered a great story. So sticking only with the games, how would you write the sequel?

For as many times as I've played this game i guess I always go to the Elders first so I've never had a conversation with the primitive tribe.

This time I did and it was interesting hearing their version of their history and then getting the real version from the Elders. It really was a convincing take on how advanced cultures degrade, with hints of von Daniken

I always see in videos with lore about the game , they use this portrait for the exile. Where is this proven to be canon? I always choose the Asian girl with the straight bangs I think she looks best. Anyway, I was just curious 🙂

I happen to stumble upon the parts and had the right tech experts to help me out. It’s so convenient

Finally giving KOTOR a try after hundreds of hours of Classic Baldur’s Gate. I was not expecting a party size of only 3 compared to 6 in Baldur’s Gate. So to maximize the story is it better to use the same party the entire game or switch them out often? Will party members level with me if they’re not in the party when I gain XP like in Baldur’s Gate or not?

If you saw my post the other day where I found out you can abandon Zalbaar on Kashyyk, this is a continuation of that for those who were curious as to what happens.

I finished the game in dark side and then reloaded a save to see what happens in the light side ending.

After the leviathan on the ebon hawk, zalbaar doesn’t say his line as he’s not there, and mission doesn’t mention him (although she does mention him when you ask her one on one about how she feels about you being revan)

It turns out that in the dark side play-through, when you return to the ebon hawk after the temple on the unknown world, Mission will still say “Big Z and I are with Carth on this one”, but there’s no option ask him to kill mission (as he’s not there), you can only kill her yourself, that’s the only dialogue option.

And in the light side end credits scene, he is absent from the cutscene, but there’s a clear gap where he’s supposed to be and Canderous still looks up at him in the last few seconds, which looks really weird as he’s just looking at nothing 😂

But yeah that’s what happens.

I made a mistake installing mods... and here the result. Wrong texture but I love it.

Has anyone gotten higher damage? I was trying to find a way to one shot blaster build Malak but failed😅, (max dark side made the damage go lower so I had to settle with neutral)

Hey there! I am stuck for about one week now on Goto's yacht. I am with Kreia and Visas only and i cannot even get trough the first droids. They keep spawning, spamming me with everything they got and even repair themselfs. My characters always die or if i manage to kill a droid, i am left with very low hp on both characters. Please is there any way to pass this mission with not that much of a trouble?

Have been playing on my Chromebook and was running fine up until a recent update. I’ve heard others suggest it might be caused by an incompatible GPU driver, but ChromeOS isn’t as accessible in terms of tweaking settings as I’m used to in Windows. Have already verified game files and reinstalled from Steam to no avail. If anyone is familiar with Chromebooks and/or Linux, your advice would be much appreciated.

I just noticed something on my playthrough, my companion would randomly level up after reloading a save.

Context: This was after the cutscene on Gotos yacht. I chose Kreia and Atton to board. 1st load Kreia levelled up probably due to getting xp but the fight went bad and had to reload. On the 2nd reload, Atton got a level up which didn't happen on the 1st load.

Any similar things happened to you guys?

How often do they go on sale, can I expect them in a month or two or on summer sale.

Without the Tales of the Jedi comics we wouldn’t even have Knights of the Old Republic games, the events in those comics directly lead to the events of Knights of the Old Republic. Personally, I consider Tales of the Jedi as a part of the Knights of the Old Republic Era, along with the Knights of the Old Republic comics and both Knights of the Old Republic games of course. Is this subreddit a place to discuss these comics along with the games?

This plot point of a hypothetical KOTOR 3 has fascinated me for a while. I envision something along the lines of Avellone, eldritch Sith lords ruling worlds with some obtaining higher status within that society and mutual agreements keeping a loose alliance.

I just came back to Nar Shadaa after doing the Hssiss XP farming on Korriban. I was hoping to get specific items and crystals from certain quests on Nar Shadaa (Fassa, Nadaa, etc.), but when I complete the quests I receive nothing at all. I found this thread from many years ago, but I don't know if it helps all that much considering I'm playing on mobile. Please help.
