Feb. 2025
Knights of the Old Republic II is the best Star Wars media of all time. It is beautifully written, has excellent characters and voice acting, and incredible world building. Kreia and Darth Sion are two of the best written Star Wars characters that truly make the story one that is worth experiencing and re-experiencing over and over. This is Obsidian's Masterpiece. The only unfortunate part is that the games story ends on a cliffhanger for a sadly cancelled Knights of the Old Republic 3. Also, make sure to play it with the Restored Content Mod for the best possible experience.

It's not for everyone. It's 3 second turn-based combat is an adjustment compared to most modern RPGs, there is endless dialogue between you and your party, and the game was so rushed into production that the mod community came back years later and added the cut content. And you know what? I love it. It deconstructs what a Jedi is and blurs the light and dark sides better than any other Star Wars media, before or after. I've never regretted firing this game back up any time I get the urge.

STAR WARS™ Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords is a remarkable continuation of its predecessor, solidifying its place as a timeless classic in the RPG genre. Released in 2004, this game has stood the test of time, continually captivating both veteran players and newcomers with its intricate storytelling, compelling characters, and morally complex choices. One of the standout features of KOTOR II is its deep narrative, which delves into the philosophical and ethical dilemmas of the Star Wars universe. Unlike many other games, KOTOR II doesn't shy away from exploring the grey areas of morality. The game provides a richly woven story where every decision matters, significantly affecting the game's outcome and character interactions. This focus on choice is most evident in the game's alignment system, where players can choose to follow the path of the light side or embrace the dark side of the Force. The light side path offers players the opportunity to be the beacon of hope in a galaxy teetering on the brink of collapse. Acts of kindness, mercy, and self-sacrifice define this route, allowing players to restore balance and peace. Characters who choose the light side often engage in thoughtful dialogues, build strong alliances, and strive to heal the wounds inflicted by the Sith. On the other hand, the dark side presents a tantalizing journey of power, manipulation, and ruthless ambition. Embracing the dark side means making choices that often lead to personal gain at the expense of others. The narrative here is darker, with betrayal, fear, and domination playing crucial roles. The dark side offers a thrilling, albeit sinister, exploration of what it means to wield power without restraint. What truly sets KOTOR II apart is its ability to seamlessly blend these moral choices into a captivating RPG experience. The character development is exceptional, with companions who have their own intricate backstories and personal growth arcs influenced by the player's choices. The game's mechanics, including the turn-based combat system and skill customization, provide a strategic depth that enhances replayability. Visually, while the graphics may show their age, the game's art direction and atmospheric design still hold a unique charm. The music, composed by Mark Griskey, complements the narrative perfectly, evoking the iconic feel of the Star Wars universe.

best Star Wars game to this day. If you are on a modern 120hz+ monitor, go into to nvidia control panel. click on manage 3d settings, click over on program settings, add the game exe to the list. set the fps limit to 80. this will stop a bug that causes your character to stop moving after combat.

KOTOR II is a gem. Obsidian seems to swoop in and make a sequel to a game they didn't make and improve upon it in almost every way. KOTOR II is unique for Star Wars: its darker, its more mature. Most of the meat in this game comes from the conversations and influence you have with your companions. I've played this game since its release and it never gets old. You will see lots of reviews here saying you need to play with the TSLRCM + M478 mods. NO, you don't. KOTOR II was notoriously rushed to be released within a year after KOTOR I. The endgame is the most apparent area that suffered. The TSLRCM is a mod that adds in a lot of the cut content and makes for a slightly more explanatory or cohesive final two hours. A lot of the cut content was cut for a reason. I think you should play the game as originally released, and if you like it, then play a game with the TSLRCM installed. There is good stuff there, but also some blemishes that should have been left on the cutting room floor. Never, and I mean EVER, play the M478 mod. EVER. That is based on a cut planet from the game, but the planet was cut early in development when they had no assets or material actually made for the planet/game. A group of modders made a planet from scratch, and its terrible. Sorry, they put work and effort into it, but its a glorified running simulator where you run from point to point and backtrack like crazy. Content for the sake of content. Not a good addition to the game in the slightest.
