I think obsidian is doing it as they are working on a "unannounced project" as stated in their job openings :-) Also Obsidian stated that they would love to work on Kotor 3 when LA agrees (a long time back they said that). Also LA said they see Kotor as a Franchise. All signs point to it :-)

I've played both games on Xbox. I prefer the first one as it's longer and the story doesn't have as many plot holes in it. I just bought KotOR 1 for PC so I could see what the space station is like. Sadly, the game keeps crashing when I take the elevator down to the undercity on Taris. :p

Being a devout kotor player (meaning i've betten both every possible way twice and still play it), i was glad it was a solid game. But i found there was a number of glitches and unanswered questions in the story. The hk-50s were a big one. Turns out you were supposed to destroy there factory with hk-47 but since the game was rushed onto shelves, obision had to cut sections out of it.

My favorite RPG ever was and still is KOTOR. However, I've recently grown more fond of TSL. While there are still issues with it's apparant incompleteness I am now beginning to think that it is the better of the two games and perhaps I may end up playing it even more than the first KOTOR.

 

"Blasphemy!" you say. No, not blasphemy, just a recognition of the fact that Obsidian has talent and knew what they were doing when trying to create a sequel to a multiple GOTY RPG ever. A daunting task indeed.

 

Obsidian instituted the often times frustrating Influence factor and the equally confusing random item drop feature. Along with these two new components to the KOTOR world we also encountered a complex upgrade creation process.

 

The Sith Lords gaming experience relied more on your choices and type of character than its predecessor. Once you've reached a certain point in your Force alignment you are visited by Visas. Chances are that if you are neutral for most of the game you will not get her until very late. I've not played it grey so I could not factually confirm that. Also your party changes according to your gender and alignment. Even your choice of Revan's gender and alignment alters the game.

 

Yes there are a few things I would like to have implemented. For instance if I find Bindo's Band in the beginning of the game I really don't think there should be another one found later. I had at one point four Onasi Blasters. Sreiously. Did Carth mass produce his weapon? The random drop feature needs tweaking.

 

Also some of the sidequests got completed even before they were added to my Journal. It was a little frustrating to have a Journal Update and find that the update was added to the completed sidequests section. Most memorable is the Fuel Sabotage Sidequest while aboard the Citadel Station during the Sith invasion.

 

It would have been nice to have the missing content put in. The droid planet would have been fun but it really isn't needed to further the plot. Leaving it out is understandable. The last game took me over 36 hours recorded but there were plenty of times I reloaded. Having a whole other planet and potential sidequest would be simply enormous. There's nothing wrong with a bigger game, I just think having it in would complicate the entire story. The game isn't about the HK units hunting you down or G0T0 commisioning them. It's about the lies and deception surrounding your Exile.

 

Overall I really like this game. I just hope KOTOR 3 is planned for developement and a serious effort at it will be afforded.

Well, I have to say that this has to be one of the most immersive and incredible games I've ever played. Before starting this, I'd just finished playing Oblivion. I had enjoyed that, especially the environment graphics, but I felt too led around by the nose, like I didn't have a chance to figure anything out for myself, and combat was terribly clumsy, IMO.

 

This was like a breath of fresh air. The story very involving, combat nice and clean, and more about building your character than having a quick clicking finger. I don't like just chasing and killing things. I like conversing, and I like having your behaviors have consequences. Everything in this game means something.

 

I've never played KOTOR I, so that's next :saberg:

Hmpf, when my brother and me bozhgt this game an installed it, the first thing we recognized is that

 

It doesn't run!!!

 

Although it needs the same System prerequisites (if this ist not the correct translation of "Systemvoraussetzungen", blame my dictionary) as the first part, which runs without any Problems.

Can anyone help us? Meybe? Otherwhise we really (especially him, because it is his Computer) go NUTS...

Hey all, just completed knights of the old republic: The Sith Lords, I have to say it was and still is a awesome game, I had never played any of the knights games before and didnt know what to expect, i loved how the combat system worked, and the rounds played out so quickly it was great for screenshots, but yea, you were all kinda right at the end game, there were loads of rooms that u cud go in but couldent, must of bin cut or something, Darth Sion was a wuss, but kreia, took me ages to beat that b***h, and fighting her sabers was a chore too, i died once when against the sabers, now that iv done it, im gonna go back and do the dark side of the game, plus great mods too, espacally the combat arena (great job stoffe).

 

Pros: Good gameplay, I liked it how you could learn about the party members history and stuff. Good story.

 

Cons: The start of the game, on peragus I HATED, it was so boring, and i got a depressing feeling that i have to play it thru AGAIN. Also the End of the game didnt really feel 'finished' and I felt a bit confused and had that annoying hunch feeling what would happen next.

 

 

BTW completed the game on 23 hours 48 mins, with a level 27 Jedi master.

Great game!

 

EDIT: feedback would be nice

It's about the lies and deception surrounding your Exile.

 

I think the other planet was really needed. It wouldn't have made the game a lot bigger, because they ended up moving most of the quests from it onto the other planets. I found a few of the other planets were just TOO long.. they really started to drag in places. Having an extra planet and more evenly distributing the content would have really helped the pacing.

 

Plus it seems like it was really needed to flesh out the bao dur, goto, hk47 and mass shadow plots.

 

Also, I seemed to spend half the game running arounf with only one or two characters.. then just as i'd got some more characters to talk to/play with the game ended. I don't think i got to use goto or hk47 at all. Or mira that much.

 

I've just finished the game for the first time, so obviously i currently hate the damn thing. I'm sure that once my annoyance at it being completely unfinished wears off I'll remember the fact that a lot of the experience was pretty enjoyable. Still, i can't see myself bothering to replay it all again just to try out another alignment. Especially not all those repetetive Treyus Academy fights. zzz.

 

Overall i'd give it an 11 out of 10 for ambition.. but only a 5 out of ten for execution.

 

I'd still be interested in a sequel.. but I couldn't face it for a few months yet.. and i hope that if they do make one they give the interface, the controls, the party system and the combat a major makeover.

So far I like the way KOTOR2 is playing - I just wish I could 'talk' to my crewmates more. I'm getting tired of asking Atton if he could teach me to play pazzak. Oddly enough, it's Kreia's instigations that is letting me talk to the others. I like the worlds, etc, and how it explains a few things. I like the first game more, personally.

 

Does anyone know how to get the cheats working, though? I've done everything I'm supposed to, but it's just not working.

The cheat to become invincible should be enabled just by typing 'invulnerability' into the console and pressing enter.
But...that's what I've been trying to do. I'll give it one more try.

 

Thank you, Emperor Devon!

 

PS: Just to double-check, I don't have to press shift or anything to get to ~ do I? I hope my friend was lying about that.
