Interview Nostalgic KOTOR 2 Retrospective Podcast at Eurogamer

"We hadn't played the original game," Avellone reveals. "LucasArts hadn't signed the contract before we started working on it, so even though we were getting paid for milestones, they didn't want to give anyone a release copy of the game, so we were kind of guessing as to what the first storyline might be like."

They threw together concept art for characters who only might exist, and whipped up a tentative story around them.

I will pay you for a copy of this Chris

Yeah I did forget to credit NV with the quick draw and rapid reload perks, but really, why would you pick it when your choice is between 50% crit damage, +10% damage bonus etc?

Rapid Reload is a level 2 perk, Run'n'Gun is level 4. There aren't any +damage perks at those levels 'cept the ones that define your sexuality and only affect humans of a certain sex, one that affects animals if you have 30 survival, one that affects insects if you have an int of 4 and 45 survival. Quick draw comes a little late, seemingly because of the reload-exploit. You choose them if they fit your playstyle.

There's hardly any instance where these perks make a shitload of difference.

I took run'n gun and it helped a lot in Vault 34.
