Now all we need is an open world Jedi Knight RPG with the scale of Elder Scrolls, except with the addition of exploring other planets.

This is not the sweet roll you are looking for.

Played this game when I was I was quite young a long time ago on a council estate far, far away.

I've probably racked up more than 1000 hours on this game in all my time, it's just a core game I come back to when I've lost my will to game and it really just sets me back in motion and reminds me why I love gaming in general, to me Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2 are staples in the gaming industry and I have absolutely NO idea why they haven't been atleast rebooted at this point.

Also in my opinion Kotor2 is probably the better of the two in terms of story, animation, characters and general feel.


HOWEVER, it does have many flaws such as the fact it's just not that great of a game mechanically and difficulty wise without the addition of mods.

If I could rate the game higher than 10(even in vanilla), I would, simply for personal enjoyment and they were all the first characters I really bonded with and felt something for...

P.S. How dare The Old Republic ruin the memory of Meetra Surik and Kreia.

Nothing has come close to a game and story like this. One of the last best things remaining in the star wars franchise. One of my favorite games of all time. Remeber it from the orignial xbox. TSLRCM is recommended as the game is buggy and imcomplete without it. Amazing game overall

Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II - The Sith Lords
It is by far one of the most amazing games I have ever played. From the story to the dialogue and the thrill of it all makes it a very good game especially for one so old. I recommend it to everyone seeking a fun RPG-like game such as this because they certainly won't regret it. The community mods improve the experience too, 10/10

Great RPG. Could use some patches to fix problems with multiple screens though. Also it doesnt have ragdoll :(
but the story, the gameplay, the options in the game... amazing. Definitely worth the money.

My favorite game ever, the world is just so good and you have the ability to roleplay characters leading to vastly different experinces. It's really good the only game that makes you feel like you're a jedi. The only thing that isn' perfect is the combat, it's adequet and fair but not really exciting.

Obsidion adds great writing and a amzing questions of morality and what the jedi should and shouldn't do. Seriosuly buy it the world design is just amazing and makes you feel like you're doing things on really pretty planets.

Fantastic game, took a while to fix a few small bugs with the "Movies" and getting my head around modding was interesting (Being new to PC Gaming) however this is so true to the original SWKOTOR game!

This review will cover only the gameplay. There are a myriad of other reviews that cover the game's story or bugs.

A good way to indicate whether a game is great or terrible (or anywhere in between) is how compelled I feel to continue playing. There are some games that are so fun to play that I find myself still playing after several hours have passed.

Is KotOR II that kind of game? Not really, no. Don't get me wrong, KotOR II's story and characters are far superior to BioWare's original title. The game's theme is so immersive that I found myself thinking about it all the time while not playing it.

The problem is that when I AM playing the game, it doesn't take long before I quit out of irritation. I was able to blow through KotOR I in a couple of days and have replayed it many times over the years, but KotOR II takes me much longer, and I have not replayed it as much. Here's why:

-The game's central premise is that most of your party members can be converted to Jedi. Sounds great, right? The problem is that it takes a while to sufficiently influence your party members, and once they become Jedi, you don't get to reroll their skill points and attributes. You essentially lose what the character was good for and are left with a mediocre Jedi. Indeed, it's better to not influence them at all purely from a gameplay perspective.

-The various levels of the game feel awfully rushed. Especially Nar Shaddaa. There is a brilliant story going on, but you can go from long periods of relative quiet to suddenly being dropped into very difficult situations with little warning. The flow of the game is simply inferior to KotOR I, which was not any less difficult but always seemed to give me sufficient time to prepare.

This game conflicts me. It has one of the best stories of any game I've ever played, certainly the best story that has "Star Wars" in its title. It's just that it's a mediocre game. If it was a book, it would be the best book ever written. Nonetheless, I'll recommend it. I owe it that much, given all the memories I have of it.

Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords is best played with TSLRCM (Restored Content Mod). If you don't have it for this game, get it. Most mods you will ever download for this game depend on that mod to function correctly.

Alright, let me start of by saying HOLY ♥♥♥♥! I mean KOTOR II was an absolutely incredible game - even better with TSLRCM. As much as I enjoyed KOTOR 1 (and I really really enjoyed that game) I enjoyed this game even more. I'm not sure why this one is more enjoyable, but I'm guessing the fact you can actually influence your companions and train most of them in the ways of the force?

Anyways here is my breakdown of the game:

PROS
+ Includes 57 Steam Achievements (Though for this particular game I find them useless and distracting)
+ Each time you play through the game you may discover/learn something you didn't in the previous playthrough
+ Excellent/Addictive Story
+ In many ways a contiuation of the first, yet not in so many others (Depending on what you say to Atton, Carth and Bastila make an appearance somewhere in the story)

CONS
- Too many technical and non-technical issues & bugs to count. Even with all the TSLRCM fixes there's still quite a lot.
- Feels WAY shorter than the first
- Without TSLRCM, the story will NOT make much sense
- Your first playthrough most likely will be your worst, like mine (but not your last thankfully)
- This marks the end of the KOTOR Games (It's highly unlikely KOTOR III will happen folks)
- The workshop makes installing non-workshop KOTOR II Mods a huge pain in the ♥♥♥ (I'm playing a semi-working but broken game right now thanks to the lousy Workshop)

My Rating: 10/10 (Highly Recommended)

HK-47 - Definition: 'Love' is making a shot to the knees of a target 120 kilometers away using an Aratech sniper rifle with a tri-light scope... Love is knowing your target, putting them in your targeting reticule, and together, achieving a singular purpose against statistically long odds.

Playing this game comes pretty close to that feeling.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....

Whenever people discuss KotOR II, the word “deconstruction” is used a lot, referring to Chris Avellone's interpretation and criticism of SW as a whole, The Force, how the Jedi are perceived by civilians, Dark Side/Light Side, the infamous “Are you an angel?” easter egg, etc. but the deconstruction doesn't stop there.

KotOR II is a critique of the entire RPG genre, in the way it deals with common occurrences and cliches seen in most RPG's. How can you stop your very important main quest, even momentarily, to fetch some irrelevant piece of junk to a random nobody? Why do your party members follow your lead and attack whoever you attack? Why is it okay to loot corpses? Do you have to be good to everyone in a “good” run, and conversely, do you have to butcher little rabbits in an “evil” run? (Not that Light Side/Dark Side is the equivalent of good/evil in other games, just follow me here.)

The game was already great at release, just rushed, and now with Aspyr's update and TSLRCM it's even better. Just keep in mind that despite all the official and unofficial fixes it's not perfect and you may still run into technical problems.
