[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;37381303]The Knights of the Old Republic series was loved by a lot of people because of the plot twist and because of the amount of atmosphere in the games. It was also liked because of the environments and because of how it made you feel like you were becoming a Jedi.[/QUOTE] the plot twist in KOTOR really wasn't that good and honestly the only way to interpret the story is that the Jedi council is full of morons, but I guess that seems to be par for the course when it comes to Star Wars anyways.
[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;37379497]Yeah Nihilus was pretty sweet but to bad they retconned him and most of the game in the Revan book. Also for some reason in that book Revan loved the Exile even though in the game it's strongly hinted at that [sp] Revan hated you because of your abilities[/sp][/QUOTE] It's heavily hinted that [sp] Atris loves the exile up until Kreia tells you at the end.[/sp] [QUOTE=Lazor;37382248]the plot twist in KOTOR really wasn't that good and honestly the only way to interpret the story is that the Jedi council is full of morons, but I guess that seems to be par for the course when it comes to Star Wars anyways.[/QUOTE] I just love that the biggest twist in the game isn't explicitly told to the player, you just have to pay attention.

oh sorry i was talking about the first game

I loved how Kotor 2 felt darker as well, which honestly felt like it was well needed in Star Wars and Kotor 2 does it perfectly. Also remember there is [url]http://www.moddb.com/mods/revenge-of-revan[/url] coming out which is a big mod that adds in a new continuation story so look for that when it's done.
does kotor 2 have the same combat as kotor?
[QUOTE=DarkZero135;37382685]does kotor 2 have the same combat as kotor?[/QUOTE] Yeah but once you get a light saber the game becomes a walk in the park.
I would go so gay for chris avellone, it's not even funny. Also why is canon lightside female when it's obviously written for neutral/evil male?
[QUOTE=noneshallpass;37382837]I would go so gay for chris avellone, it's not even funny. Also why is canon lightside female when it's obviously written for neutral/evil male?[/QUOTE] That's just Drew Karpyshyn and the TOR writers messing with the game and making it worse.
[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;37382928]That's just Drew Karpyshyn and the TOR writers messing with the game and making it worse.[/QUOTE] I thought it was said the exile was canon a long time ago, like I thought that before TOR was even announced. I don't know it's been awhile since I found that out, enlighten me.
TOR and the TOR Novels were not the first source to have the Exile as Female.

I don't know it's been awhile since I found that out, enlighten me.[/QUOTE] I think a year or a few after Kotor 2 came out a Book called Star Wars: The Old Republic: Revan. The book basically retconned all of Kotor 2 and said pretty much nothing happened, Nihilis was just a sith and The Exile was nothing special and basically said that what they were in the second game was impossible and that the Emperor is the most powerful force user or something. For some reason he also wrote that Revan loved The Exile or something even though in Kotor 2 it's hinted at that [sp]Revan hated him/her [/sp] and it also Kreia was just a crazy lady. That's at least my understanding of what happened someone else could probably explain it better. Oh and I almost forgot, apparently George Lucas really hated the game or something and that lead to some Retcons, I don't know if it's true or not I've never seen a source for it.
The first image of a Female Exile was in the trading Card game, or maybe the miniatures in 2009 I believe. [editline]24th August 2012[/editline] According to Wookiepedia, [url]http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/The_New_Essential_Guide_to_Droids[/url] This book released in 2006 first describes her as Female. The Book 'The Old Republic: Revan' gives her the name Meetra Surik
I'm fine with The Exile being a women I just hate what that lead to in the Books and TOR.
Fuck it. Jedi Jesus or get the fuck out!
That's cool I guess but I've already completed the game twice and I own the actual disk. imo KOTOR1 was better. It felt more like Star Wars (if that makes sense) and Peragus in kotor2 was just boring.
Installed the restored content mod and got the resolution patch working. But how do I stop the Steam client from resizing itself every time I launch the game?
Fantastic game, better than the original if heinously unpolished.

Jedi Jesus or get the fuck out![/QUOTE] this, or you miss out on the handmaiden who's pretty cool and more relevant to the sotry than the disciple
9/10 game only flaw is that Carth is shown like once in the game and then all we get is Atton [editline]24th August 2012[/editline] just looked it up, he shows up a few times actually still prefer him over atton [editline]24th August 2012[/editline] you know what'd be cool? KotOR 3, following the story of Revan AFTER waking up from stasis during the Cold War.
[QUOTE=The Castro;37383173]Fuck it. Jedi Jesus or get the fuck out![/QUOTE] Jedi Sammy Jackson is better
Revan's face in SWTOR looks like Jedi Jesus. The Exile doesn't look like any of the preset faces from KOTOR2
[QUOTE=Tuskin;37387038]Revan's face in SWTOR looks like Jedi Jesus. The Exile doesn't look like any of the preset faces from KOTOR2[/QUOTE] I think it would best if what they did to Revan and The Exile in TOR was just forgotten. Oh and don't forget what they did to HK-47 I'd rather have that erased from my memory as well.
Is anyone else crashing when they try to load a game? Like I go to the menu to load a save but then the screen freaks out and it crashes, but making a new game works fine. This happened to my retail version too. :gonk:

All the talk about the novel they released about Revan and the Exile before TOR is making me hesitant to finish it. I haven't worked on reading it in months, and was last at the part where [sp]the Sith dude asks the Exile to help bring down the people consipring against the Sith Emperor guy[/sp]
Great I can't even launch the game, click the shortcut steam window works fine then its just at desktop, no indication of a crash or anything and its running in task manager.
[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;37389751]Have you tried playing in window mode? For me it only crashes on full screen.[/QUOTE] No dice.
[QUOTE=The Castro;37390458]No dice.[/QUOTE] Oh sorry I don't really know then. Have your tried running it in compatibility mode?
