Rules

  1. Remember reddiquette. This includes always being cordial, and ensuring you don't downvote other users' posts based on their opinions.
  2. No off-topic content. This includes content which is only related to KOTOR in a very vague way.
  3. No spamming or trolling. This includes posts made by "novelty accounts" which do not contribute to discussion. This rule also encompasses misinformation and vitriol.
  4. No low-content posts. This includes most memes and image macros (these belong in /r/kotormemes). If you're not sure if it's low-content, think about whether it can generate any meaningful discussion. For discussion-based submissions, OPs are required to begin the discussion, rather than posting an open-ended question without any of their own thoughts.
  5. Be mindful of spoilers. Make sure not to include any spoilers in thread titles; to flair submitted content with the spoiler tag if it applies; and to responsibly spoiler-tag text when posting in an untagged thread.
  6. No reposts of content posted within the last three days, nor of the top 150 posts in the sub. Highly-similar post types posted within 3 days of each other also fall under this rule.
  7. Properly attribute all work you post to this subreddit. This includes both artwork and game modifications! AI art must also state the generation tool. Author attribution should be either included in your thread title or in a comment.
  8. Submissions of AI-Generated content are restricted on this subreddit. Please see the AI section of the expanded rules for a full breakdown of requirements for AI-generated content.
  9. No Solicitation of Users in thread links, titles or OPs. This rule does not apply to single-pay products such as artwork or crafts.

Spoiler Tags

Reddit now has sitewide support for spoiler tags in comments, and a flairing system for threads that may contain spoilers. They're easy to use, and our rules require that you utilize comment spoiler tags in any thread where the OP may not have beaten the games, or in instances where the thread or OP specifically asks for the thread to be clear of spoilers. The method is quite simple:

Is there a mod to get the Star Forge robes early in KotOR 1?

Hi all, I want to replay KotOR and I really like the design of the light side aligned Star Forge robes. Only problem is you can only get them at the very end of the game which makes it pretty pointless in my opinion, as you have no time to enjoy wearing them. I was hoping there was a mod out there to be able to acquire them earlier on in the game such as on Taris or the Ebon Hawke in KotOR 1, but despite a lot of Googling I can't seem to find such a mod. I thought I had seen YouTube videos where people had the robes early though so maybe it's out there - does anyone happen to know if such a mod exists and if possible provide a link? Thank you.

Some random KOTOR 2 plot questions (Spoilers)

  1. What, exactly, were the Sith doing at Freedon Nadd's temple on Dxun? I always assumed it was some kind of Battle Meditation ritual of sorts but I don't think the game ever explained it. Whatever ritual it is, the Sith apparently completed it but there is no mention of it on Onderon. The combatants on Onderon seem to treat the fight as a "normal" civil war and there's no mention of Vaklu's forces being super-powerful or the Royalist forces being super-weak. The Sith themselves seemed to deploy very few of their soldiers on Onderon itself, with only a few making an appearance in the Royal Palace.

  2. Who rebuilt the Jedi Enclave if you're Dark Side? I can imagine a scenario where the people of Dantooine, being grateful that a Light Side main character saved them from mercenaries, rebuilt the Jedi Enclave. But I'm not sure who would do it if you're a Dark Sider. Clearly the mercenaries would have no interest in doing this, and none of the masters could have orchestrated it because you've been killing them on their home planets.

  3. Why would the Exile assume that the Jedi Council took their force powers away? We know from later plot developments that the Jedi Council had nothing to do with this, it was the trauma from Malachor. So the Exile would have certainly realized that they were cut off from the Force well before the Council passed their judgment.

  4. Why does Atton think that you need a whole crew to pilot the Harbinger? Apparently, Sion piloted it to Peragus on his own just fine.

  5. Why would that holorecording on Peragus say that everyone on the Ebon Hawk was dead? Obviously the Exile was not dead, and the only other person on the Hawk was Kreia.

KOTOR1 Widescreen Help

Hello,

I am trying to play KOTOR for the first time, however, I am having problems running the game in widescreen.

I am able to apply UniWS and get the game running in widescreen, so I could play KOTOR, but the UI scaling is all messed up and I’d like to fix that.

I installed HRM but has become the main source of my issues. When I patch the .exe but don’t put anything in the override folder I am able to click on the first menu (new game, load game, etc.) but not any menu past that. When I install the .tga files (or the .tps(?) files) the main screen looks like the attached picture. This makes it impossible to start or play the game.

My monitor resolution is 2560x1080, but I’m willing to play 1920x1080 if there’s a working patch for that. I’ve been unable to find a working fix, and many of the guides are 3-5 years old at this point.

Please, help me patch KOTOR for 2560x1080 with rescaled UI; and, if possible, patch in graphical improvements like HD UI/Better Icons/Upscaled Movies. — Upscaled movies I also had a problem with as the exposition scroll screen at the beginning of the game doesn’t play when replaced with the new video files. Idk about the other movies, but if the new cut screens doesn’t work I’m fully willing cut out that portion of the patch.

TLDR: please help me rescale the UI when patching KOTOR to 2560x1080, and/or help me fix HRM not working correctly.

Thank you in advance!

Is this uncommon?

Hi all, just curious is this a rather uncommon book? Don’t think I’ve ever seen it before even though its copyright is from 2019. Thanks!

What would've happened if Darth Malak won, in the first game?

How do you think things would've played out had Darth Malak won at the end of KOTOR 1? How do you think the events of the second game would play out? How would it affect the story of KOTOR II? I imagine alot and since I love what-if scenarios, I'm curious to see what people think.

I made this using my Darth Sion custom figure, which I bought on ebay.

just wanting to have a little fun with my replay

so I decided play this game again after many years and while looking around for some exploits and just fun glitches and stuff that I can do to make a fun playthrough I stumbled upon this thread here https://www.reddit.com/r/kotor/comments/tqqa2s/swoop_accelerator_on_taris/ and saw a couple of comments talking about an infinite swoop race loop to get infinite credits and a bunch of levels on taris, I was just wondering does the glitch still work by any chance? and if it does does it work for PC?

Brothers, K2 isn't hitting as hard as K1...

first on all, sorry for any errors in my post, english is not my native language.

I don't even know how many times I've played the first game, but since I started K2 for the first time I've been getting this weird feeling that K2 is way somber and darker than the Bioware's game. Right now I'm 23 hours deep and right at the start of Onderon, playing on Hard difficulty.

Maybe is just that I got older and the last time I played these Star Wars games was in 2020/2021 and I was only playing for the gameplay and not the story, but this second game makes me feel like I can't even trust my "companions", like Kreia and Handmaiden... Lot of secrets and not enough answers. Maybe K1 is more like an adventure per se and K2 is more of a Avallone's usual writing.

edit 1: as I said, I'm taking my time with the game, listening to all dialogue I can get and don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying the game, is just that I played K1 a dozen times and now I'm going through my first time in K1.

edit 2: just finished the game as a LS character. took Nihilus' mask, spared Sion and killed Kreia. loved this game, just a different vibe from it's predecessor.

The Sith Lord "Dark Side Corruption" ability - what does it do?

The Sith Lord class grants the "Dark Side Corruption" feat (not to be confused with getting a fucked up DS face.) According to the description, it basically makes light siders more light and dark siders more dark. There is also the implication that this somehow depends on your level.

But it's confusing as to what this actually does, mechanically. Is it as simple as "for each level of Sith Lord you take, your companion's alignment goes 5% more extreme" or something like that? Or does it improve their attitude to you? It's a little unclear and I've never seen anyone break down what this does from a mechanics perspective. Some people seem to believe that it increases influence but I'm not sure?

StrategyWiki does have a little section on this but it's just the description of the feat in-game and nothing about how it actually works.

I can't find the "Saber Switch" mod for Kotor 1

Iirc, there was a mod for Kotor 1 that allowed you to turn on your lightsaber without going into combat (and no, it was different from "flourish weapons" option that is already in the game.) Does anybody have the files for the mod?

Taris and Telos

It has always confused me how the developers set up Taris as the world we as the player see get destroyed in the first game and then for the second game they introduce a whole new destroyed planet BUT this new planet has the same starting letter and number of syllables as TARIS. The second game makes sure you know that it is Telos that is THE most important destroyed planet in the galaxy right now. Doesn’t even mention Taris in game to attempt to distinguish the two. The republic hinges on the success of the restoration of TELOS not that other place that everyone knows got wiped… does that seem a little confusing to anyone else? I don’t remember exactly what the status of Taris is in the first game we know it was occupied by the Sith so maybe it was never a republic world to begin with? But still maybe should have picked a more unique name for Telos cause as a kid I was mad confused

Problems with KSE for TSL

I've used KSE in the past for KOTOR 1 and it went without a hitch. I came back to it for TSL since I wanted to fix a problem I had, but I've ran into some issues. Firstly I have to manually set the save file location for it in the pathfinder, which I'm not sure I'm doing correctly. Another problem is that KSE itself is not responding so I can't do anything but close it. Any help would be appreciated since I tried looking for a solution and found nothing of value (fyi I downloaded KSE on Nexus and I'm playing the game on Steam)

Help with Atton influence

Basically got all the way to Korriban and still don't have enough influence with Atton to turn him into a Jedi, and I don't think I gained any since Nar Shadaa. I was with Bao-Dur when I fixed the speeder there so that might've been it, but am I still able to turn him or have I done a monumental screwup?
