Player's pick: Vote for your favorite 2005 KotOR 1 mod

[Darth333]

Further to the nomination process, we have set up a poll to allow you to vote for your favorite 2005 KotOR 1 mod.

 

Cast your votes!

 

 

For Kotor 1, several mods have been nominated. However, some mods have been disqualified because they did not meet the criteria for the nomination process (we were looking for mods made during 2005 and announced here at LucasForums). We nevertheless congratulate their authors!

 

Consequently, we ended up with 6 valid nominations and the staff has decided to add a few additional options to the poll. Most of the new options are mods made in early 2005 that seem to have been forgotten but that are of good quality.

 

Here is a short description of each mod listed in the poll.

 

(note: the mods appear in no particular order)

 

• Revan's mask+ by T7nowhere
   
  This mod allows you to reclaim your true identity. It adds a new mask stylized from Revan's. Also included in the mod is an edited Robe model (with fixed force powers) from the ingame cut scenes with revan which replaces The Star Forge Robes (for the PC only) as well as a new lightsaber. All the items are well inserted in the storyline and a surprise awaits you on Korriban after the Leviathan.

• Xia Terashai Set by ChAiNz.2da, RedHawke and JediKnight72482
   
  This set includes custom Armor & a new model of Shortsaber. Stylized after Xia Terashai's history, these items are geared towards stealth and scoundrel type abilities. Due to time restraints (and me being lazy), the skin for the armor is naturally meant for the Asian skin-tone female PC's.

• Carth Romance Fix v1.1 by cjt0202
   
  This mod finally fixes the Beach scene after going through Carth's romance. Here is how the Author describes the mod: "The first time I played through the Carth romance, I was a little disappointed in how the scene on the beach after the temple on the Unknown World played out. But I shrugged it off as "Oh well, that's just the way it is." Until I found out that the male PC gets to kiss Bastila (and that depending on how you navigate the dialogue, she can insist upon it!). Now that's just not right! Bastila gets to demand to be kissed, and all I get is a suggestive whisper about "when all this is over"? And then the more I looked at this scene, the more annoying it was -- Carth's telling the woman he loves her from about 10 feet away, and they're not even making eye contact when Mission chimes in with "Sheesh, get a room, will ya?" much less doing anything that actually warrants that remark. So I put on my director's hat -- "OK, on this line I want you to move here, and at this point, I want that camera..." -- and this is the end result."

• Ebon Hawk's Workbench To A Construction Bench by Redhawke
   
  ]In short, this mod alters the Ebon Hawk's workbench to be able to build brand new items and some of the normal game items, now when you click on the Ebon Hawk's workbench it becomes a super handy TSL-esque Construction Bench. Depending on your skills, level, wealth, you can now build weapons, robes, armor,etc at the Ebon Hawk Workbench.

• Kamino Eugenics Chamber by Redhawke
   
  As explained by the author, "this mod, creates a Kolto Tank in the Ebon Hawk's Cargo Bay, called a Kamino Eugenics Chamber, that you can use to upgrade yourself like you do HK-47, only I "kicked it up a notch", this is definately meant for use with Talchia's Hardcore Mod, especially levels 3-5"... (highstakes pazaak or similar is recommened too).You can downgrade/upgrade your current power level at your whim, your credit balance withstanding... but don't expect any refunds.

• [MECK]Enter Jabbas Palace by Xavier2 & al.
   
  This mod made for OT lovers, adds new models, skins and a new side quest for KOTOR with two new areas. It takes place in Tatooine and blends with the normal game allowing you to choose if you will lean towards the light or dark side. In order to enable the quest you will have to land on Tatooine for the first time, look for a pair of X-Wing pilots in Tatooine docking bay and talk to them.

[Jae Onasi]

I love RedHawke's Ebon Hawk Workbench to construction bench, though Carth romance fix is a _very_ close second and the rest are just a tiny step behind--they're all very good and make the game even more enjoyable than it already is.

 

Thanks everyone!

The Soul Reaver by Oldflash.

[Melly]

I voted for the Carth romance fix, but only because it came with some extra dialogue from Carth post-Leviathan.

[ChAiNz.2da]

Well Gang, we'd like to Thank Everyone for taking the time to vote. The polls are closed now so we can get the final tally going and other "stuff"

 

We'll announce the winners and post a tid-bit on SWK soon, so be sure to keep an eye out for the announcement...

 

Thanks again everyone for making the first of (hopefully) more Mod Appreciation events a success!
