Game News WTF: Knights of the Old Republic II gets new official patch, TSLRCM now available via Steam Workshop

[Crane]

I'm gonna put together a list of good mods for Kotor 2 since I've played the shit out of it and this is an excuse to show it.

Did they fix the incredible amounts of game breaking bugs?

Name one please.

 

[zerotol]

Its a fucking classic alright.

Classic case of Obsidian's unfinished, rushed and buggy games!

 

[bonescraper]

While i don't care much about Obsidian these days (after the PoE fiasco and Avellone's self-ejection), it's still not their fault it was rushed, cut and unpolished.

Restored content mod fixes'em all.

 

[Perkel]

Speaking of TSLRCM 1.8.4 is released today

Fixes in new version:

* Restored Remote's SFX that was removed by the official 1.0b patch. After 10+ years; it's back! Poor guy!
* Restored original dialogue to prologue, except for 'easter egg mode' users who get the spoken dialogue
* Slightly modified pre-Malachor cutscene
* Fixed reverted instances knowing about Goto in first Bao-Dur/Remote cutscene
* First Bao-Dur/Remote cutscene now requires G0-T0 *or* HK-47, not both. This also means you can get the 3rd cutscene and following cutscenes (including the important one about G0-T0 and Remote) without building HK-47
* Fixed Remote "complaining" sound sticking around when it should not
* Fixed 2 civilians who were lacking their animations in the Telos Cantina
* Benoks goons will now always properly leave the cantina
* Various fixes for the Telos Academy:
** Fixed some unskippable lines during intro-dialogue
** Fixed inproper fadeout during intro that showed character jump
** Modified Atris entrance
** Fixed a few issues with handmaidens removing PC
** Modified Atris exit
* Fixed small issue with door's windows not being see-through in the Coruscant sequence, hiding the PC and Masters until it was opened (Thanks to JCarter426 for the fix!)
* Modified JJT Tunnel sequences if Mira joins the party
* Fixed issue with leftover enemy in arena during ending cutscenes
* Various fixes with the Mandalorian Battle Ring:
** You will now hear what your violation was before being banned from the Battle Ring for cheating twice
** Fixed auto-win against Kex due to victory flag not resetting after the Davrel battle
** Fixed "no item" rule being in effect for the Bralor fight for male PC's. Battle functioned properly already for females
* Added 2 missing Sith to Vaklu palace sequence who triggered a small cutscene
* Leaving Dantooine at the endgame cutscenes did not run for male players. Made them skippable in all cases
* Added missing animation at start of Disciple cutscene (to match Visas scene)
* Slightly improved Disciple warning Admiral cutscene
* Added missing "lipsync" (eye flashing) for HK-Factory
* Slightly improved 903MAL intro, fixed incorrect camera point for females, and the Elite Sith Assassin will now attack the Exile rather than ignore him/her

Additional fixes thanks to Danil-ch;
* Wrong Atton animation fix post-Peragus cutscene
* Fixed too fast walking Sion on Peragus and Malachor
* Improved Handmaiden vs. sisters intro-cutscene
* Fixed animation issue with Atris using Force Lightning on Handmaiden

it will be probably on torrents just day or so. Will buy it next month when i will have cash.

 

[Azalin]

Damn,not sure why they didn't get Obsidian to do it though

 

[GloomFrost]

I was just thinking about replaying it couple of days ago. I don't believe in fate but....

 

[Obsequious Approbation]

Well holy shit. I've been meaning to play as a dark, homicidal Exile for a while now. Sounds like the perfect opportunity to do so.

So Obsidian gets cucked out of sequels and now even patches. Pretty amusing, maybe someone will patch NWN2 in the future.

Obsidian could have turned down Stick of Truth 2, and this too. Everyone might be busy working on tank MMO, Pillars expansion and unannounced projects.

Obsidian got other serious business with Russians making mmo's and tank mmo's

I don't think Obsidian got any royalties on KOTOR2 so i don't think they would care either way about this release.

This kinda support shit is the only reason that charging for things that would have been abandonware a few years ago has any good outcome. And I get the feeling this particular case is only there because there were fan patches to integrate.

I guess it's naive to hope Steam and GoG would do stuff like finance emulator development.

Obsidian knew nothing about Stick of Truth 2, IIRC. They were completly fucked over there.

Also most likely its really just because Akysis already worked on the series and could do these things themselves. No need to involve Obsidian. I doubt they were asked. May have known about it though.

 

[Anthony Davis]

Anthony Davis Do you know anything about this?

News to me. Cool news though!

 

[pippin]

Disney does market research. A number of "best rpgs ever" lists have included KOTOR2 instead of 1 (which is weird considering how much mainstream people love Bioware). Also, the fan community seems to like KOTOR2 a big deal. Some Disney paper pusher did a quick google search, did some phone calls and this studio ended up making the patch.
It's absolutely cool though. Good PR as well. I wonder why they didn't bothered with adding Steam fluff to KOTOR1 though.

Well, we are partly responsible for that... and that makes me pretty happy
(It's not integrated btw)

But yeah, only technical stuff got tweaked, and the only 'fix' on content is the 1.0b Telos Academy one.

Hassat bro / sis, what's going on with this missing VO thing then? I was just about to start another playthrough, but will wait if there's an issue.

 

[lurker3000]

I liked this game a lot and but is there anything in this patch that makes the game more of a challenge? After you got a few levels all the battles got real boring.

 

[Cyberarmy]

WTf?
Well, I was looking something to play at least.
