Star Wars KOTOR 2 Gets Big Update + out on Mac & Linux
- Thread starter Nzyme32
- Start date
It seems it used to have it but that was when EAX was in, which was removed with this patch.
Been playing this all day, loving it. I steered clear of playing this back when it came out because I'd heard the last third of the game just takes a nosedive in quality, but I've heard the restored content remedies that so it's nice to finally play the sequel to one of my favorite games of all time.
Quick question tho: I'm playing with a 360 pad - is there an easier way to switch party members on the fly? Right now I'm having to use the quick menu with Y and switch from there, which can get really annoying sometimes - especially mid-battle.

I'm glad to see so many people playing the restored content <3 but I think..
I honestly think a lot of you should give SWTOR a try. It gets a lot of shit from a lot of people who are angry at it not being the new coming of jesus, but you know what - Some of the class stories lives up to it. I recommend giving Sith Warrior, Inquisitor, Agent and Jedi Knight a spin.
It answers a lot of questions left unanswered in the end of KOTOR2. It's very interesting how in the hundreds of years following the state of galaxy is in. Particularly with planets like Taris. Since its a F2P game one can go in with a different set of expectations.
The game is getting a massive expansion this fall which will "streamline the lvl 1-60 experience" so you might want to wait for that. There is a whole new story taking place, the jedi and sith empires simultanious being brought to their knees by a third faction who has stayed in the shadow in the outer rim. This faction has some teras kasi "highly force sensitive" thing going on, and as a result, the player character will go into cryosleep for 10 years, and upon waking up the sith empire and jedi order is basically.. fragments.

I love KOTOR 2 so much.
A very different game to the original but, in my view, the better of the two. I've heard it said that KOTOR 2 is The Empire Strikes Back to KOTOR 1's A New Hope, but I don't think the analogy fully does it justice. It would be more accurate to say that KOTOR 2 is like nothing else within the Star Wars universe.
I'm not sure that I can agree that the game is overwritten either. I actually found the denseness extremely immersive. Kreia is without doubt the best written character in any videogame I've ever played.

Have you played with the Restored Content mod yet? Star of the workshop so far.
Nope, might pick this up now though.
Seems like the modDB page says it sports a full fledged new planet. Not too shabby.
you could skip that, honestly. it not necessary or crucial at all. and it drags on like crazy
:\ That sucks. I think I'll still be picking this one up. I had tons of good memories of this game.
The new planet is terrible, don't get it/skip it.
So I'm really unlearned when it comes to mods...

Do I just download this? Do I have to install the game first through Steam? Is downloading all that's necessary or do I have to tweak files somehow? If so are there instructions?
NVM I'm an idiot. Instructions are on the same page.
Ah you're awesome! Thanks. Doing this now. Waiting for the main game to install.

It does. I run mine at 1080p.
Why don't I see that as an option in the "graphics" section? =/ I got a bunch of weird options instead.

Right click the exe, go to properties, compatibility, and disable the DPI scaling option and see if that fixes it
I right clicked the icon on my desktop and clicked properties. Then I'm lost. I don't see compatibility. (What is the exe?)

The executable. Go to where the game's installed.

Fucking (location spoiler)
. Squads of mercenaries + a fucking ramp + turrets. My party, after defeating one squad of mercenaries, decides the better thing to do is RUN STRAIGHT AT THE TURRETS + there's another mercenary squad near there. I can't stop them. Fucking AI.

Ha. Yeah, that +

Does this mean if I bought the physical copy I can get the update to finish the game content or do I need to buy it off steam again?
Edit - Or does the restored content mod work without steam? I bought that double pack a few years ago and it doesn't use steam in any way I believe.

Otherwise known as the
"finally, a place where I can use all these damn mines"
Also, hot tip for people doing the dueling ring quests:
Just walk into your opponent until they back out of the ring; they forfeit (since they broke the rules of the duel) and you win by default. Pretty cool that Obsidian coded this as such, even as exploited as it is.
I'm having an ungodly hard time deciding on what class and affiliation I want to play as.
I normally like going for all sorts of powers, so a Consular might do me well leading into Sith Lord, but a Guardian might be great for Light Side.
Someone help me pick
If you're familiar with the game well enough go consular. Mage classes always own in Bioware games.
What the shit. That's great
Restored content mod works with physical, but you don't get the update which has the native widescreen and controller support. That update is Steam only currently.
Sorry for being so dumb, but I have no idea how to do this. I'm on Windows 8.1. So I opened my file explorer, went into Computer, then Program Files x86, and couldn't find the game. It's not under "Steam/steam/games" or in its own folder. How do I find this out?
All games are always installed under Steam/Steamapps/common then open the KOTOR II folder.
SWKotor2.exe is the one you are looking for.
Check ...\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\Knights of the Old Republic II
Edit: Beaten.
Thanks for the reply!
Hey i figured this out and now 4k is working. Thank you! Now, do you know why the IQ of the cutscenes is terrible? Super blurry and way worse than in-game.
Is the HK factory part of the restored content mod or do i separately subscribe to HK factory mod?
Once installed, it is interwoven into the story in some capacity
The HK factory and the droid planet are two separate modules. The HK factory is restored with TSLRCM, whereas M4-78 is optional content that makes a few minor changes to the story in terms of pacing
M4-78 is restored by a separate team and had to recreate dialog and such. It is also overly long and tedious.
It's a fair claim that you can skip it as thing featured in it were either scrapped for good reason, or relocated to different parts of the game

They were rendered at 640x480...nothing doing about that unless they re-rendered them from scratch, i think.

It is part of TSLRCM, but I believe he/she is referring to the M4-78 "droid planet" mod, not the HK Factory.
So this playthrough I'm boned and have to complete? And I can't just uninstall and have it the save work because it is interwoven, ugh
Edit: also, why does hk 47 not help me fight the hk 50s?
You'll just have to power through it. Luckily once the first part of the level is done, you gain access to fast travel points in the level
I just made the handmaiden into a dark jedi
Going to have to restart now, my brain being fried isn't worth it.
