I just got to Manaan and had to do a double take when the Sith soldier in the opening cutscene said "simp". I assume it's just a short form of "simpleton", but I still find it funny given its modern usage.

I am so excited to hear Conker is getting achievements, I can only imagine KoToR isnt far behind, especially since they prioritized it as one of the Xbox originals that got an update for the new Xbox release.

I look forward to having an excuse to play through them for the 80th time!

I played a dark side male exile. I ended up letting the Jedi live and gather on Dantooine. After they knocked me out Krea said that I basically had to turn away from the force and go into exile otherwise the events of Malachor would’ve killed me. So what did I do whenever I was very much alive and more powerful in the force than ever thought possible?

- Made Handmaiden slaughter her sisters.
- Left Atris to be slowly killed by Sith holocrons.
- Betrayed and sacrificed Visas to weaken Nihilus
- Let Atton get tortured to death by Sion.
- Killed Handmaiden and Canderous with poisonous gas.
- Mocked Sion the entire fight before his will broke and he met his demise.
- Murdered Krea with stark indignation and threw her body into the core of the planet before assuming the mantle of Sith Lord.
- Provided Atton with no comfort whatsoever on his deathbed.

I think I’m going to do a light side run with a faster leveling mod now because I actually feel a little bad lmao.

Don't tell me I have a problem & don't tell me I'm crazy for hitting on 14 either.

To start: 100% Star Wars is the person who revealed the issues with the KOTOR remake, the KOTOR 2 port to the Switch problems, and the potential KOTOR 2 remake before any of this was confirmed years later by the vice president of Lucasfilm Games and Stephen Totilo, but he also revealed games like the Battlefront Collection before they were announced. He's definitely a person who has some sources

But let's get to the point. 100% Star Wars first reported in March 2026 and then May 2026 that the reveal is planned for this year, so it seems everything is still on track for us to finally see the re-reveal of the Kotor Remake this year.

I think The Game Awards sounds the most reasonable. I wouldn’t expect anything at Gamescom, because as far as we know, Mad Head Games is in charge of the Kotor Remake (in collaboration with several other Saber Interactive studios), but Mad Head Games is currently in the middle of a marketing campaign for Hellraiser Revival, which is set to launch in October. So the earliest reasonable date for a re-reveal is The Game Awards.

But I think all of this makes sense, given Steve Allison’s recent comments about a potential 2028 release. However, an interesting point in the new 100% Star Wars video is that he said he’d heard the release of the KOTOR remake was also being discussed for mid/late 2027, and after Steve Allison’s slip-up, the CEO of Saber Interactive said not to take those dates (for the John Wick game, the new Space Marine game, and the KOTOR remake) too seriously, because the topic itself concerned microtransactions in Saber’s games, and the dates given were only rough estimates.

So it would be great if a potential announcement of this game this year meant a 2027 release, but it would also make sense if it were early 2028. The marketing campaign for *Hellraiser Revival* will last 15 months, so we can speculate that the *Kotor Remake* will have a similar timeline. With a potential announcement at The Game Awards, that would mean the release would take place in March 2028.

Nevertheless, regardless of my predictions, it’s nice to know that 2027 will most likely be the year when we’ll finally start learning new things about this game on a regular basis, and we’ll finally get to see some gameplay, etc.

I'm in my first playthrough and I've been Dark-Learning but generally have remained neutral because I'm trying not to be an asshole. I read that Prestige classes are unlocked at Level 15 but you have to be aligned with one side or the other, or something like that.

I'm definitely aiming for one of the Dark Side prestige classes, but I have no idea how dark I need to go to be eligible. Right now I'm at pretty much the first level of morality where DS powers get a cost drop.

I'm level 11 or so last I checked, so I have 4 levels to go before I'm eligible. How far do I need to take my Dark Side to get one of the Sith classes? Am I fine skirting the line and just learning dark or should I start going heavily dark if I want to unlock the class at level 15?

This ties into a broader point, which is that almost all the "Kotor lore" comes from Kotor 2 alone. Kotor 1 does very little to flesh out the universe. Everything is pained in the broadest possible strokes. You visit iconic planets from the movies like Tatooine and Dantooine and you visit the Wookie planet and the Sith planet. Very cliche stuff.

Now look at Kotor 2, which has dozens of different subplots that flesh out the universe: the Onderon Civil War and the struggle between Queen Talia and General Vaklu, Mandalore's quest to reunite the scattered Mandalorian tribes, G0-T0's entire backstory and plans for the galaxy, the Telosian Restoration Project and how it's a blueprint for restoration projects in the rest of the Outer Rim, the destruction of the Miraluka race and their planet, all the lore surrounding lightsaber stances and obscure Force techniques...do I need to go on?

This is despite Kotor 1 having more writers and having been in development 2-3 times longer than Kotor 2.

Another thing to consider that Kotor 2 is far more faithful to Star Wars lore than Kotor 1, which repeatedly pulls entire races and planets out of its ass. Manaan and the Selkath race? Invented for Kotor 1. The Rakata, the super duper Force-using predecessor race that basically built everything in the galaxy? Invented for Kotor 1.

Kotor 2 seems to go out of its way to avoid mentioning Manaan, the Selkath, the Star Forge and the Rakatan Empire. This tells me that the writer of Kotor 2 found those really poor additions to the Star Wars universe and did all he could to avoid dealing with them.

I don't know much about her at all, but I wanna do a "canon" playthrough for my first playthrough of KotoR 2.

If anyone knows the colors, that would be dope as well.

Is she supposed to be more of a duelist, or more of a force user during fights? Or does she blend them a la Niman ?

So I want to play this game modded for the first time. I downloaded *some* mods from the Community Portal mod build, and I have a few armor mods (not part of that build) that I want to use. However, I constantly read about how overwriting appearance.2da breaks the modded game or something? So is there a simple way to make them work? I am illiterate when it comes to technical stuff like this. These armor mods I mentioned don't have the tsl installer or holo-patcher.

So, no particular order, just going to spout out whatever is on my mind:

1) Jolee is my fkin GOAT. That man saved my ass SO many times. His story is also pretty interesting to learn about and he seems like a deeper character to dissect than someone like Canderous.

2) Force stasis is BUSTED and if it didn't exist I would've had a MASSIVELY difficult time with specific sections. Notably the part where you are going back to The One after speaking with The Elders and you get jumped by a shitton of rakatan + like 4 rancor.

3) HK47 actually had me laughing out loud with its dialogue. I normally barely chuckle.

4) Mission was cool and I think I may have used her more often, but she just felt so squishy and I just couldn't justify her replacing Jolee / HK47 / Bastilla

5) Zaalbar is the homie. I just wish he had a little more character development.

6) Canderous is just...annoying. Didn't use him at all.

7) Carth was a lot more abrasive for a lot longer than I thought he might be. I get WHY he's the way he is due to his story, but idk. I would've definitely used him more often if he didn't have such a stand off-ish attitude.

8) Bastila <3

9) The section where bastila decided to 1v1 Malak and sacrifice herself so we could have time to get the last star map made my heart drop. I was not a fan and it genuinely upset me a bit.

10) The last fight with Malak was a big difficulty spike for me. I didn't have saberthrow, disable Droid, or any of the dark side abilities, so I couldn't disable his jedi medkits. I had to savescum the fight, and I couldn't even fight him straight up. He just did too much damage for me to survive, even with stims, force valor, force Aura, and force resistance. Idk if I did something horrible wrong with my build (probably), but I was only able to beat him by hitting pause every time he went to a new jedi tank. I would hit pause, heal myself with a shitton of items, buff up, then save before the next "round" started again. And even then. I ran out of healing items during the last "round". I ended up having to use adhesive grenades, and just pelt him him grenades, thermal detonators, plasma grenades, etc until he had about 30% life left. Then I was able to stand my ground and take him out. It was rough.

11) Swoop racing was fun

I am quite confused right now. Kreia told me to go to the Jedi Enclave to meet the Jedi. The caved-in door is locked shut and in the sublevel isn't anyone. So... where am I supposed to look?

So... this was quite the night. After finishing Nar Shadaa and getting back to Dxun to use a Basilisk War Droid to get down with Mandalore really was awesome. The first Part was also cool, exploring the Tomb and fighting the Sith. But Onderon... that was cool, sitting 2 hours on the workbench to upgrade my equipment- I mean well fighting for the Royalist and robbing the Museum, I mean what-

Since my Armor is kind of green, I was also thinking of swapping my violet crystal, but then I found my first love in the game... a silver crystal. Buuut I decided for the Silver Greenish Crystal. Having 3 more colors really is cool. Also getting inside the Throne Room and using the Battle Meditation was quite funny.

After that, I went to Korriban and I do understand why I should visited it last. Finding Sion, just to flee and then exploring the good cave to find Revans Tomb where you need to face decisions, especially Kreia's fight was tough when you say that this is an illusion. But seeing the Planet now "cold" and dead gave me the chills.

But this is where I got confused. I needed to flee, without a trace left what to do. So I watched a few funny Ebon Hawk Companion Interactions and checked the log afterwards and yeah, I got the M4-78 restore Mod so I talked to T3 and now exploring cut content.

It's my first time ever cosplaying and I decided to go as Darth Nihilus to the 23rd annual ConnectiCon. Everyone was super supportive and very kind all weekend. I took dozens of photos with other very enthusiastic attendees over the weekend and was so glad to share my love for Star Wars with everyone else!

Specifically ideas like “Force echoes“ and “Force wounds“. Many view KOTOR 2 as a deconstruction of Star Wars, so I’m curious how these concepts play into that, hence the reason I’m asking. Has Chris - or Obsidian in general - ever officially said anything about where he got these ideas from or does anyone have any guesses?

I tried to find a solution to a problem I am oblivious if it was already fixed prior, so any information more is helped

Hey check out this mod I made! It adds a fully playable Jawa to KOTOR 1

That one took a bit longer and I do know the need for Force Speed now. The first bit was quite boring, but it got intense real fast and playing your Companions without your character was surprising. And crap, I love Mira. I would date her if same gender were a thing. Then Atton would stop being rude against Disciple.

I also do like the scenes showing Companions interacting with each other. G0T0 and HK-47 were funny.

Now it's going back to Onderon!

Replaying KOTOR for the first time in ages, and I feel like something's wrong with with my attack bonus?

I'm on Taris, Level 3 Scout, and with a Vibroblade my attack bonus is +1, while my bonus with a pistol is a +4. I have 9 Strength, 14 Dexterity, and Finesse. Weirdly enough when I was playing last night, those numbers were +3 and +6, respectively.

I downloaded the mods from the Community Mod Build, one of which apparently let me allocate all my feats at level 1 manually, but I don't think that would screw with anything since I still gave myself proficiency in armor, blaster pistols, and melee weapons.

Am I dumb or is something wrong? Thanks!

So, I'm level 26 and been doing this for about 2 hours now and haven't seen a Disintegrator. Am I doing something wrong? Is the drop chance really this low? Is there some other factor besides just being level 26?

I've seen the Mandalorian Heavy Repeater many times, but no Disintegrator.

Edit - The key seems to be you can't already have a Disintegrator equipped or in your inventory. Once someone told me that got one relaitvely quickly.
