http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-07-31-fear-is-the-path-to-the-dark-side

"The entire second game is littered with clues as to 'why didn't Revan destroy the infrastructure here? What was he trying to make sure was still intact? What did he/she see that no one else saw?' I thought that was giving a nice nod to 'wait a minute, Revan realises there's an even larger force at work here, and he's focusing his efforts on that and keeping the big picture in mind'. That was one thing - the idea that there was a larger, global conspiracy."

That third game would cast you as "the Exile" and allow you to track Revan's path. "Whether you encounter him or not..." he pauses, wary of spoilers in case the game ever happens in the future. "The idea was that even before the 'modern day' Sith came into being in The Old Republic ... there were even more distant Sith Lords that were considered the true Sith, and the idea that they were still lurking out there in the galaxy waiting for a chance to strike, kind of like the Shadows in Babylon 5, I thought would be a cool finale for that Old Republic trilogy.

"Part of the fun with designing them," he adds, "was if you have these incredibly powerful Force users and they have their whole hidden domain out in the distant reaches of the galaxy, what would that Sith empire really look like at the hands of these things?

"If they could shape entire planets or galaxies or nebulas, and they had all these slave races at their disposal, how cool would that be, to go into the heart of darkness and you're the lone Jedi and/or new version of the Sith confronting these guys? What would that be like? I thought that would be pretty epic."

Carth is better if you play as a female. I turned on a romance Bastila as a female mod and was actually surprised at how different Carth is cause I'd only played as a male Revan prior to this. Instead of just whining on Taris about how he can't trust you he spends a good portion just flirting and fooling around with you. It really improves Taris as a world.

Everyone hates him because of how he bullies his way onto your ship and thinks he's the boss instead of sucking your dick like the rest of the crew.

>>323294473
Yeah I've been enjoying these myself. I used to mod the game a bit so I've been replaying with mods on. Finally went and did that giant mod Brotherhood of Shadow and Solomon's Revenge that together add about 8 hours of content to the original game. Also went and fixed Juhani's looks and was gonna add in the make Mission, Canderous, and Carth into Jedi mods but decided to reserve that for a second playthrough. Even put in a mod to change Bastila's Jedi Robes to look more like different colors of her unique clothing outfit then I edited the appearance file so all the female Jedi wore Bastila's Robes as well.

Pretty much everyone really. Kreia sees you as the most precious thing in the universe, despite her mentor ramblings. Visas, my life for yours. Handmaiden is for some reason obsessed with either redeeming or following you, almost completely forgetting about Atris. The droids are programmed to think you their master and obey and Bao-Dur glued himself to you as soon as he spotted his beloved General. Mira... yeah, why the fuck does Mira tag along?

I also think he has one of the best backstories of any of the companions in kotor.
He's pretty unique as a character, got a pretty cool design and has pretty great dialogue that is well acted.

I do agree that he's fairly useless gameplay-wise, but I would chalk that up to the fact that kotor 2 never actually was finished properly.
>>
>>323295501
>he's fairly useless gameplay-wise
Maybe that's a result of the early decision to cut the droid planet and roll what they already had for it into Goto's yacht. Meaning that the one place where you could use him is what you need to beat to get him.

He doesn't blow it up, he disables it briefly so he can install on contingency program. He mentions that on Malachor V.
>>
>>323300170
Wisdom and charisma play equal part in most force powers so prioritize those. Normally dexterity determines chance to dodge and strength determines chance to hit and damage but with lightsaber finesse dexterity will determine all 3 so prioritize it next and take the finesse perks when you can. Once you do that strength is worthless and you don't need much int or con as a consular. Make sure to get force speed and I'd recommend battle meditation too then heal/drain life and force lightning.
>>
>>323300804
Consulars get like 4 skills and persuasion isn't that useful since you can get dominate mind power treat injury is pretty useless since force heal uses charisma and wisdom. So you're left with awareness and repair unless you want to use a perk to make another skill not cross class like maybe security.
>>
>>323302060
Dexterity doesn't determine damage with finesse, just accuracy. But at higher levels strength is worthless because it's a comparatively small bonus relative to two fully upgraded lightsabers and buffs.
>>
>>323301375
Oh shit, that's when he did that.
>>
>>323300804
While 2 did a much better job in making skills viable (except persuade, which ironically enough was the best skill in 1 bar treat injury), there are very few times when you can't palm it off onto a companion.

Which still doesn't negate its own narrative is incomplete.
As much as I love kotor 2, it simply doesn't have a coherent story. It builds up a lot of of hooks and setups, but all of them are either hastily concluded on or not touched upon at all. The restoration mod gives a glimpse of what it was meant to be, but thinking that it's in any way a representation of what it was supposed to be is insulting.

>Which still doesn't negate its own narrative is incomplete.


No it's not. The whole game is about who the exile is, why she lost the connection with the force, find the hidding Jedis and put an end to the 3 sith lords chasing you.

In the final arc of KOTOR3 you complete all of the objectives of the game and, after that, Kreia tells you to go search Revan or Stay in the Malachor V academy waiting for more force sentient people to teach them.

And all these things amount 0 fucks in the grand narrative. The mystery of your past basically gets swept under the rug and the confrontation with Kreia and Darth Sion is a complete joke.

A possible sequel that was pretty unfeasible from the get go, doesn't justify the broken narrative of kotor 2.
Take the original trilogy. Empire Strikes Back sets up a ton of shit for RotJ and is basically one giant plot hook for the next film, but manages to be its own amazing narrative with a satisfying climax.

The first sequel is always shit if it ends there, since the first in the series is about doing the setting, and the second game is about amping up the conflict for the third.

I think a lot of people praise Obsidian a bit too much. They had a functional system, a ton of assets and an established setting.
They could almost entirely focus on quest design, characters and plot. They couldn't have made kotor 2 without Bioware.
Same deal with New Vegas.

It's not like Obsidian is amazing when they do their own shit.

>>323308569
Yeah but the product itself is top notch even if Obsidian aren't the only ones who should be credited for it.

>>323308569

Obsidian makes a better game whenever they do a sequel. Doesnt appeal to casuals, even if the gameplay is most times easier since you have more options available to minmax.

The game was never intended to be AS open-ended as it was. The fact they were barely able to produce one game makes it stupid to gamble on everything getting fixed in a possible sequel. Kotor 1 worked on its own completely fine before Kotor 2, just as Kotor 2 was intended to be.
Of course it would have had plot hooks for a possible sequel, but they would never have just cut off the actual ending the games own story.
>>
>>323308482

Third game should be able refounding the Jedi/Sith/Custom order as a new character to prepare for the unknown enemy that Revan/Exile were delaying.

At the end of kotor2, most of the trained Force Users are either dead or laying low. Would be cool to actually found an Order yourself for once.

Yes, but it's a hell of a lot easier to improve on something that has already been put a lot of effort into it. I would agree that Obsidian's sequels are better, but the fact that a lot of their own original games are shit point to the fact they are best when the heavy-lifting has been done for them, so they can focus on what they do best.
Therefor I think its idiotic to shit on Bioware and Bethesda when speaking of NW and Kotor 2, because those games owe as much to those two companies as they do to Obsidian.

Well anyways, I didn't mean to start shit in a thread this comfortable. It's just a thing that has been bothering me. Sorry.

Not that guy, but even back in the day wasn't it speculated that Revan was conquering the Republic so he could prepare it for a greater threat?
That threat being the True Sith sound pretty plausible to me and I don't know anything about TOR. It's pretty lame and unoriginal, but I think it goes well with what was established in Kotor 1&2.

>functional system
If anything, Kotor's system is dysfunctional. The mechanics are so fucking broken the game is pretty much a choose-your-own-adventure with combat cutscenes. The balance is completely fucked up and combat tactics break down to spamming your preferred method of attack quickly enough so that you don't autoqueue a normal attack when you switch enemies. Of course that's not to say Obsidian is any good at mechanics design either.
As for the setting, they pretty much tore it a new one. It's more of a deconstruction of Star Wars than a proper Star Wars game like Kotor 1 was.
I'll give you assets and engine though. Still, Kotor 1 had three years of dev time, Kotor 2 barely over a year.

>>
>>323310773

The games were clearly pointing to the True Sith overall.

The problem is that you would have to come up with a functional Dark Side ideology. It's endlessly explained in both kotors that the Dark Side organisations always end up eating each other alive.

So how would a Dark Side organization like the True Sith stay strong and powerful for thousands of years, waiting until it was time to reclaim their old empire?

Would be cool if that was the "mystery" of the third game - how to they do it? What makes them special? As a LS character you'd slowly realize that the "Sith" you've seen in other games are just idiots borrowing the name and as a DS character, you'd be chomping at the bit to get at the "True" Sith teachings.

Why would you ever jump on a sequel without experiencing the original first?

While there's enough exposition for you to get the gist of what's happening, it's far more impactful if you've played out the backstory, not to mention the multitude of references and in jokes you'll get.

Also, while 1 is perfectly enjoyable, the gameplay in 2 is flat out better in practically every way, making it difficult to get into into it if you play it after the sequel.

So aside from the content restoration mod, what mods are vital to get for kotor1?
>>
>>323313880
KOTOR1 doesn't really need any modding because it was released as a finished game. The only thing I'd suggest is the widescreen mod, but it's really finicky to get working properly without breaking something else.
>>
>>323313880
Textures mostly. Theres packs for most things on Nexus. And you'll want the save editor because the restoration mod has a bug with a Jolee cutscene where you need to manually flip a boolean.

>>323314187

>>
>>323314605
The restored content mod for KOTOR1 really isn't necessary aside from the Juhani romance because everything else that was cut was because it sucked, not because they didn't have time to work on it. You're running the risk of making your experience worse.

IMO the KOTOR 2 restored mod runs into the same problem because they restored everything without considering if it was any good or not, but at least with that one you get a lot of stuff that was legitimately cut for time.

Solomon's Revenge is pure fanfiction, nothing interesting.

Don't bother with KOTOR 1 mods unless they're graphical. Nothing else is relevant.

Revan was written as female. KotOR devs said so themselves. Lucas Arts, being completely clueless, just went with the standard male protagonist.

Story for the female exile was unfinished. Male Exile gets the love triangle story with Atris and Handmaiden, Visas' devotion is better, Bao-Dur and Atton are solid bros, and Sion's hate for you is centered around what you mean to Kreia. Female Exile doesn't get Handmaiden and by extension the storyline with Atris, Disciple is the worst character in the game, Disciple and Atton engage in a shitty excuse for a romance, and Sion's hate for you is some creepy stalker crush instead of tying into the actual plot.

According to Kreia the Sith that we knew in KoToR was not the real Sith.

>>323327604

I tried to get into TORtanic but the game is just so shitty and the Revan book mentally fucked my shit up, I have never been more angrier in my life than reading that.

Revan was probably the most powerful Jedis in terms of force potential and how he used it. He was the only one that could truly "control" the force rather than have it control him, thus why he was never Light or Dark. (mind control doesn't count)

Meetra Surik aka Exile was another powerful force user that could disconnect and connect people to the force, this alone was extremely dangerous to the galaxy, more so than Revan, but she, like Revan, did not follow a path but chose to follow her Master.

Canon shit aside, what benefit do you have as playing as a girl in KOTOR 1?

>>323328082
The exile was once Revan's trusted general, one of the first to leave with him when the mandorlian wars started. They were one of the few not to follow him after Malachor and sucumb to the dark side. It was the Exile's decision that basically ended the Mandorlian war and kickstarted the next one.

I know that, but still, she called herself and the others Sith too, if only because they followed the philosophies and ways of the Sith. The true Sith vanished a long, long time ago.

Which is what really bothers me. What the fuck happened to the Sith, as a species? I know they race-mixed a lot with the Dark Jedi that arrived to Korriban, but they didn't do it so much that the whole fucking race got sent into extinction.

The most annoying part of TOR's backstory is what the stole and then retconned from 2.

>>323328243

Kreia is a fountain of disguised knowledge. Her teachings are exactly the same ones she passed onto Revan as she did to you. The thing was, Kreia herself cannot follow her own teachings and can merely be thought of as a fool.

That's why she's really mixed/cryptic.

If you're talking about the eradication of Jedis then that's pretty much the main plot, since you're character had the finger on the trigger to destroy thousands and thousands of powerful force users.
