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:

Result: This is how you write it

Have the free Amazon Prime version, should I buy the Steam version on sale?

I got the Amazon Prime one for free, I'm not sure how well it is patched and such and it is the only game I have on there. Would rather have it in Steam, should I spend $2.50 for it or just use the free one I got? Does it go on sale this cheap often on Steam or GoG?

If I do go with the Steam version is there anything I need to do to patch it or just install and go?

Just bought KOTOR 1 & 2 on sale for $5!

I know nothing about these games other than they are very well regarded in the community. I'm going in completely blind. Not that I need more items in my backlog, but I couldn't pass up buying these two for less than $5 on the current Steam sale.

I'm excited to give them a go and experience what everyone has raved about all these years!

P.S. - anyone have experience with playing these on the Steam Deck?

At the part on Nar Shadaa where I'm forced to attend the trap in the bar for aliens, how much will I miss out on?

I'm forced to do this quest now unfortunately and I'm worried about the content I'll miss out on because of it. Earlies save I have is the one where I'm standing in front of the Ebon Hawk before Atton triggers the cutscene with the Exchange fella hologram invitation.

I read online that the speeder quest on Serocco territory will not be doable after this point. What significance does this quest play in the game? Does it give you more rewards than the ability to fast travel? The Gad quest as well, if I avoid killing the gads in the bar will I be able to finish it later or is re-entering the bar impossible after that?

Any other things I'm locked out of now because of this? Honestly I'm very pedantic in trying to complete everything while playing a game and knowing that I'm going to miss out on stuff like this because of a forced quest pisses me off to no avail and destroys my enjoyment as much as to make me want to start the game all over again at some point in the future. In any case could you subtly tell me about any other times in the game where a similar thing can happen, where you're locked out of quests so that I can avoid it catching me off guard? Don't want to spoil any plot points but I don't want to miss out either.

I'm playing with the Restored Content patch. If there is any way to solve this with the use of console commands that would be helpful as well. Maybe stopping the invitation script from initiating and turning it off later? That would be too good to be true but sometimes there's a way.

Carth Romance dialogue won’t activate on final planet.

So, I’ve been playing a Female Dark Side Jedi Consular, and decided to swap alignment during the fight with Bastila. I tried to turn Bastila to the light, and I returned to the beach. Now, I did all 12 dialogues with Carth and I know I romanced him. I even tested siding with Bastila, and during that, he acknowledges his feelings for me. Yet for some reason, if I reject the Dark Side, Carth doesn’t confess his love on the beach. I’m so confused. Any help? Could I have missed something?

I completed the game! (For the first time)

I finished a light side playthrough just now and this game has an excellent story and great characters.A good selection of party members. I particularly enjoyed Carth's mistrustfulness at the start and his character growth to accept the player character even when they are revealed as Revan. Taris Carth would have shot my brains out if he knew i was Revan. I liked the different challenges and task you'd have yo complete in each of the five planets on your star map quest. Korriban was probably my favourite followed by Manaan. (The order i did was Dantooine, Manaan, Tatooine, Kyshyk, Korriban). Also i didnt restrict myself to only light sided descions rather i just did whatever i thought i would do and it ended up as light side. The thing that currently bothers me is the vicotry party on the unknown planet where The One and his Rakata are still situated. We were told earlier that these particular Rakata were flesh eating so interesting that they didnt sneak up on the large crowd. During the sith academy part, i was a bit more savage and less peaceful. I do wish we could redeem Malak though. Also Basitla was good, she was quite arrogant at the start but her change to the darkside made sense. In the end, Revan needn't choose between his love or the galaxy as he got both!

Revan wishes you a happy May the 4th

Happy Star Wars Day! I made this in Blender

Full model

I tried recreating the unused Darth Revan model from The Clone Wars in Blender and I thought I'd share a render for Star Wars day :)
The pose with the smoothie is based on this art

Question about Mods

So I am going to play KOTOR for the first time and wanted to know if there are some mods for a better experience, HD mods, content mods etc etc, that you should use. If you have any good ones, let me know.

Update: After trying to install all the suggesting mods from the mod build guide for 6 hours, it did not work. Guess I am playing Vanilla then.

The German VA for is great

I learn languages as a hobby, and I've played Kotor twice in German. First of all, I think the voice acting is really good. But the thing that stands out to me is Bastila. I did play Kotor in English as a kid, but had forgotten what Bastila sounds like in English until recently.

The German VA for Bastila gives you a pretty different interpretation of the character imo, one that I much prefer to the English VA. After playing a bit in English recently, I was amazed but how arrogant and frustrating she is. The German voice actor is somewhat warmer and rather than overwhelmingly arrogant sounds more like overwhelmingly ignorant. Just an interesting detail that stood out to me, I recommend playing in German if you can understand it.

Shower thought: Manaan is Star Wars Singapore

Similarities:

  1. Small neutral power in a global/galactic conflict
  2. Tries to maintain ties with both sides and remain neutral
  3. Very strict laws, heavy security presence, death penalty for smuggling drugs/kolto
  4. Nice clean built environment though

Probably unintentional, but there you have it.

KOTOR 1 scoundrel/guardian build

Replaying KOTOR 1 for the 4th or 5th time (God I love both of these games!)

I typically play soldier/sentinel or soldier/consular.

I read that scoundrel/guardian is really OP if done right. What stats, feats and force powers do you recommend?

Mods/widescreen on steam deck

Does anyone have any experience getting Kotor1 running well with widescreen/controller support on the steam deck? It looks to be quite tricky to do on the deck itself. Would it be possible to install all the mods on a MacBook and then transfer everything over to the deck?

Just got an email from Aspyr- looks like KotOR 1 is free to play as a trial on Switch Online. If you know anyone who is on the fence, this might be their chance to give it a try.

I figure if you are on this sub it may not matter as much to you. But maybe it will to someone else in your circle.

Combat for a beginner

I have recently begun to play this game, it seems very fun but I can't quite understand the combat system. Like is there a good strategy I have to use or do I spam feats all the time?

I'm not familiar with this system so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kotor II Queer Romance Options?

Hi so I just got KOTOR II the other day and I was wondering if there is the ability to romance someone like you are Juhani in KOTOR I? Or is that something I’d need to get a mod for?

Kotor 1 mobile (IOS) with a Xbox one controller?

I’m looking at getting the KOTOR bundle on the Apple App Store but I don’t want to spend the money without knowing my Xbox one controller will work on it. I’ve tried searching but no one seems to be sure. All of the questions were from a few years ago though, so does anyone now know if they both work? I’ve seen kotor 2 has controller support but can’t find much on kotor 1

Peragus T3 Demolitions Help

At the beginning of peragus you control T3 for a bit. A mandatory door requires a mine to open, however on the Difficult setting, T3 lacks the skill to set it. I always just lower the difficulty temporarily to make the skill check.

Is there a way to open that door without adjusting the difficulty?

On bad terms with both the Hidden Beks and the Black Vulkars

I'm attempting a go through Taris without leveling up and have run into a problem. I snuck into the Black Vulkar base and agreed to betray the Hidden Beks. But when I went to fight the leader of the Hidden Beks I found that I couldn't manage it without getting immediately killed. So I snuck out of the Hidden Beks HQ (I had already sounded the security alarm so all the Hidden Beks want to fight me if they see me), snuck back into the Black Vulkar base, and got the swoop accelerator. Problem is, now when I go back into the Hidden Beks base they still take me as an enemy and I can't talk to the head of the Hidden Beks without getting into a fight and again facing my original problem of getting killed. What's the solution to this situation??

Tattoo kotor 2

Just want to make a personal anouncement. Kotor 2 was my first game in my life, 4 years old, and not speaking english besides dog and cat, (latinamerican), i tend to do different playthroughs every year or so (last was a light side blaster, which i posted A LOT around october maybe. Starting with "why am i missing so much" (if you remember that post and didnt threw hate, i appreciate it a lot)

Now i recently turned 18 and can get a tattoo now, and i am thinking of getting a darth nihilus tattoo on the left shoulder. Whenever i get my tattoo i will post it here. I know it's not something you'll care about but i felt like posting this before doing it

Revenge of Revan mod update

Hi everyone

 

I'm posting this update in part to show you Revenge of Revan intro mockup and some images and  the Intro Movie/ crawler mockup.

 

I'm posting the mockup video in hopes to find someone who can do the real intro movie for the mod.

The mockup is done in Blender. The person could take this file and make it look better.

At the end of the video you see part of the space station break off,. There would be an explosion there.

One thought is also to just have the ship fly to the planet surface and not the space station since it makes it look like the ship crashed into the station.

The explosion on the space station doesn't have anything to do with the space ship.

If anyone is interested in doing the actual intro video, please contact me.

Thank you

Logan

Why does everyone forget about 3C-FD?

As im sure we all know, 3C-FD is a recruitable party member in the prologue of KOTOR 2 and is found irreparable on Peragus by T3-M4 later on. I am currently replaying the game (im unsure how many playthroughs i have had for this game atp) and i’m noticing that throughout every miner’s hololog they never seem to mention 3C-FD. They noted “a protocol droid, a utility droid and a lot of corpses” numerous times, but why wouldn’t it be 2 utility droids considering 3C-FD? Even if this is because he was destroyed, they made sure to mention the plethora of corpses around the Ebon Hawk. Idk if theres any actual reason for this but I was just curious.
