#Knights of the old republic ii mods mod
What is the Restored Content DLC?Ī fan-made mod has already restored a lot of KOTOR 2’s cut content. So that’s the long answer to if KOTOR 2 was unfinished, but it begs the question, what exactly was cut? That answer is a little more complex. It’s more amazing that Obsidian managed to put out such a stellar game in that short of time, especially since it was the studio’s first project. And all those cut-scenes we had, the in-engine sequences: all of those were such a huge pain in the arse to set up and we could never count on them reliably,” says Avelone.Īll of this resulted in some major cuts to KOTOR 2, particularly near the end of the game. We should have removed all mini-games - that was a huge waste of time. “There would have been substantial penalties had we not have made that date,” said Avelone.Īpparently, part of the problem according to Avelone was that Obsidian was simply too ambitious> "There's a number of design decisions we could have done to de-scope the game. In a 2013 interview with Eurogamer, Avelone said Obsidian was given roughly 14 months from start to finish for KOTOR 2. Among the founders was Chris Avelone, who’d work as lead designer on Obsidian's very first project, KOTOR 2. Obsidian was founded by ex-members of Black Isle Studios, the developer behind the original Fallout games. Despite what it does well, KOTOR 2 was notorious for feeling unfinished, with an ending that felt abrupt and that it almost negated choices you’d made across the experience. To this day it’s one of the only pieces of Star Wars media that explores the moral grey between the light and dark sides of the force.
It’s easy to see how it might feel like a glorified expansion pack, but KOTOR 2 really did make a variety of improvements in terms of both gameplay and story. The only way KOTOR 2 could release one year after the original was by re-using a wealth of assets from BioWare’s last game. KOTOR 2 only had a roughly 14-month development cycle, nearly half the time of the original game.
