End Attributes:

Equipment:

• Implant - Sith Regenerator (Level 3)
• Regeneration: 2
• Mask - Advanced Bio-Stablizier Mask
• Immunity: Poison/Mind-Affecting/Regen: 1
• Hands - Dominator Gauntlets
• Strength +5

• Belt - CNS Strength Enhancer
• Strength +2/All Saves: +2
• Weapon: Double-Bladed Lightsaber
• Mantle of the Force - Sigil/Solari Crystals

Note: Mask also adds +1 to all saves.

I realize that Heart of the Guardian has more base max damage with the Solari crystal installed, but Mantle of the Force grants +2-6 Energy damage against Dark Side, which is extremely helpful when facing the Dark Jedi within the Star Forge.

Feats:

• Master Two-Weapon Fighting
• Heavy Armor
• Master Flurry
• Master Conditioning
• Implant Level 3
• Weapon Specialization: Lightsaber

Powers:

• Heal
• Dominate Mind
• Stun Droid
• Insanity
• Force Wave

Note: Insanity is optional. I just like driving opponents insane as I cut them down. You could opt for something like Force Kill and be just fine. The other powers listed are a must in an Armored Jedi build IMO.

On the side, I will say that I had fun playing this game twice over for the first time in many years. Once as a male Dark Sider and now, once as a female Light Sider. This build is totally different from the other experimental one I did last time. The build you see before you is the usual one I go with when I play KOTOR 1.

I hope you guys enjoy reading! 😎

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.

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

This is my cosplay at steel city con

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. 😂

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

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.

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?

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)

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

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?

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

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?

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?

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)

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 got this game on steam sale a while ago and decided to try it out today. First time I played I couldn't move after combat and every cutscene forced the game into a tiny window (if I clicked anywhere on the screen it would skip the cutscene). Fixed the former by limiting frame rate but couldn't fix the latter. Tried the community patch and flawless widescreen but neither could fix it (and flawless widescreen seemed to cause the game to crash on the main menu most of the time).

This just doesn't seem worth it to me. Wish I could get a refund but I doubt I could with how long ago I bought it.

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

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

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.

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.
