It's Star Wars for people who are embarrassed to like Star Wars, basically The Last Jedi in video game form. Instead of being a fun setting where good guys with laser swords fight bad guys with laser swords, it tries to deconstruct everything and impose grey morality.
Which is great for roleplaying. Kotor 2 is also one of the best crpgs when it comes to varied dialogue responses.
It's for people who trust SW to be more than most believe it to be capable of.
Kill urself you fucking cunt. How the fuck dare you?
The data does not magically appear on your computer if you subscribe via Steam. You are still downloading external files, just through Steam. It's not like a manual download is hard either and Deadly Stream is pretty much the #1 resource for KotOR 1 and 2 mods.
Wrong. Just because you had a "discovery" or "revelation" or whatever the fuck doesn't mean your assessment is remotely correct. KotOR 2 doesn't do that much edginess, isn't glorifying being a depressed person with a troubled past, and in fact being an edgy sociopathic Sith mostly gets you chewed out for being a fucking idiot. The reason people like KotOR 2 is because it actually handles the setting with a degree of philosophical depth and maturity you don't usually see in Star Wars and presents a fresh take on it. That's all.
It's way faster to just subscribe to a workshop item. I don't see a reason to go to something else if all you're trying to do is play with Restored Content Mod.
Bravo you've managed to make the game look as unlikeable as Disco Shitizium
Why is nearly every one of your posts retarded and unintelligible?
While this might be true for some fans of the game, I don't think that that's the main reason behind it. Star Wars is a neat setting precisely due to its fablelike approach to worldbuilding, but that's just not something that translates well into a BioWare style narrative-focused CRPG. If your only options as a player are to be either a stereotypical Jedi goodie two shoes or a stereotypical Sith chaotic evil edgelord (or a schizo pushing random buttons in dialogue I guess), then you might as well just remove the narrative C&C altogether and just have a linear game with two preset paths - one LS, one DS. Good SW games tend to be linear ones since that approach to narrative design helps with capturing the vanilla SW vibe of the movies.
Cough Peragus cough.
I mean no long-winded tutorial segment that establishes background details, like the stereotypical bucolic leadup to the protagonist's village getting destroyed that you see in every jrpg, or kingdom come as a recent example. In a lesser story, the game would start with a big overwrought battle scene culminating in the Exile being cursed by the jedi council and shipped off.
Hear, hear!
Just because it criticizes both sides and demands a more nuanced approach than "light side = good" or "dark side = evil" doesn't mean that it's in favor of grey morality. The primary learning experiences of the protagonist relate to how to do the right thing effectively and how to think for yourself on whether what you are doing will actually produce the better future you are looking for. Kreia's biggest deal is basically that the protagonist should learn how to avoid falling into the pitfalls and regrets (or the retreat into blind stupidity) that foolishness and dogmatism produce. She's basically someone who carries a million regrets and witnessed a million more mistakes and instead of letting it crush her was determined to produce at least something worthwhile out of it, by making learning experiences out of them for herself and teaching the protagonist. It's something people tend to miss about Kreia's character: she recognizes she is twisted and does not want the protagonist to take after her ("Unlike you and I, there is still hope that one may be saved."). She only wants the protagonist to learn from her (and ideally prove the value of her teachings) and develop their own insight and understanding.
Atris is still a bitch. Always was.
(there was a cool fight in here where Atton's fighting spirit activated after he'd fallen to the pink skinned lady, and he shot her in the back for huge sneak attack damage. Was very cool.)
Been playing with TSLRCM installed as a female Jedi Consular on difficult who dumped Strength and the beginning was quite fun. Atton and female General were using modified field pistols made while escaping Peragus. Had to use force powers and positioning a lot. Usually I just make a big strength bro who kills everything and fugs handmaiden (she's so pure).
Story feels more coherent playing a female. I will miss Handmaiden, but Atris being a jilted lover fit awkwardly and moments like Atton fearing the General's judgment about his past makes more sense.
Also, Atton is always right about everything. Kreia was a Sith witch messing with everyone's head all the time and Disciple was a spy.
I like the Jal Shey armor.
But her fall seems cleaner, she is another jedi historian like Kreia who became twisted. It's less personal and more thematic or something.

A lot of her issues make sense if your character is male.
) and the highfalutin' aspects of KOTOR 2 that everyone lauds are almost its weakest point, where to me the strong suit of KOTOR 2 is that the levels are pretty well designed and the story well told (up until the point it seems that they lost steam). It's actually a solid game up to that point, with the dialogue mostly being interesting enough to have a wee think about now and then. By contrast, KOTOR has a fair number of rambling sections quite early on, where you're just yomping back and forth across maps; KOTOR 2 is more action-packed.
