If you saw my post the other day where I found out you can abandon Zalbaar on Kashyyk, this is a continuation of that for those who were curious as to what happens.

I finished the game in dark side and then reloaded a save to see what happens in the light side ending.

After the leviathan on the ebon hawk, zalbaar doesn’t say his line as he’s not there, and mission doesn’t mention him (although she does mention him when you ask her one on one about how she feels about you being revan)

It turns out that in the dark side play-through, when you return to the ebon hawk after the temple on the unknown world, Mission will still say “Big Z and I are with Carth on this one”, but there’s no option ask him to kill mission (as he’s not there), you can only kill her yourself, that’s the only dialogue option.

And in the light side end credits scene, he is absent from the cutscene, but there’s a clear gap where he’s supposed to be and Canderous still looks up at him in the last few seconds, which looks really weird as he’s just looking at nothing 😂

But yeah that’s what happens.

Without the Tales of the Jedi comics we wouldn’t even have Knights of the Old Republic games, the events in those comics directly lead to the events of Knights of the Old Republic. Personally, I consider Tales of the Jedi as a part of the Knights of the Old Republic Era, along with the Knights of the Old Republic comics and both Knights of the Old Republic games of course. Is this subreddit a place to discuss these comics along with the games?

This plot point of a hypothetical KOTOR 3 has fascinated me for a while. I envision something along the lines of Avellone, eldritch Sith lords ruling worlds with some obtaining higher status within that society and mutual agreements keeping a loose alliance.

So I have done a max mental attributes play through and that was a blast, I’m curious what are your guys favorite kinds of unique builds? And should I use the “Jedi from the start” mod or just do a vanilla play through?

Intentional?

hi, i bought kotor yesterday and im trying to play it, so far everything worked but i keep getting blackscreens at the start when trask joins my party. the game runs, menu works, popups appear and i hear my character walking but the blackscreen is still there. can someone help?

I’m doing my second run through as a dark side user and I know that persuade was one of the skills very important for my light side play through, but I’m not sure if it’s something that I will need this time, or if I should just wait for force persuade to get dark side options. Any advice is appreciated!

Edit: forgot to specify this is for kotor2

With the widespread success of Baldurs Gate 3, I can't help but wonder what Larian Studios could do if given the reigns of this franchise. I don't know if the developers have the same knowledge/passion regarding KotOR that they do for Baldurs Gate and Forgotten Realms lore, but with how perfectly made BG3 is, I feel like they could make a true masterpiece of a sequel.

Its so chill and smooth. I could listen to him read a phone book.

I'm happy to announce that Revenge of Revan Episode 1 is now available.

Revenge of Revan is a kotor 2 mod that is a fan version of a kotor 3.
We are well into development of Episode 2.

Revenge of Revan is sequel to The Knights of the Old Republic 2 (Sith Lords).

The game takes place 8 years after kotor2 where you will find the Jedi Order starting to rebuild as they find their place in the Republic that has been absent from the Jedi Order for some years.

An event on Corellia will set events in motion as you try to unravel this mystery before it's too late.

RoR is a stand alone original story that allows you, the player, to continue your saga with whatever choices you made in kotor1 and kotor2 whether you use the canon setup or your own personal version. The mod is a bridge between kotor2 and SWTOR. You will see cameos and interact with some former characters from kotor1 and kotor2, depending on your choice setup.

You can download it at either Deadlystream or Moddb

When I was a kid, I had the original xbox (a gift from my cool older cousin who bought a newer model and had no use for the old one) and my dad went to goodwill to look for games. low and behold, KOTOR was the only one that was cheap and wasn’t scratched to holy hell. as a poor kid, having an xbox AND a game to go with it was like Christmas and my birthday all rolled into one.

but alas, I was like 10, and didn’t understand how to even play video games. I don’t think I ever made it past the sewers in the underworld of Taris because of that damn Rancor (I just didn’t understand how to kill him because no characters were strong enough, little did I know it was a game, not a battle). the xbox died and I grew up a little and forgot all about it.

until I was 16, spending my covid lockdown playing minecraft with some friends who were trying to explain Steam to me, and as a teenage girl I decided I couldn’t care less about video games. I only played minecraft because the boy I liked was in the discord server.

“you can play any game on here!” he said.

“wait, like, any? ever?” I replied.

“yeah, pretty much”

and I found Kotor again, and I found a walkthrough (shoutout IGN) and I killed the damn Rancor like 6 years later. I was so proud of myself, and the 10 year old girl who just wanted to be a gamer like her cool older male cousins was cheering me on from inside of me. quite frankly, I didn’t know she still existed in there.

landing on Dantooine just did something to me. The gameplay preview of the lightsabers and the worlds that I never made it to used to taunt me as a 9 year old, restarting the game for the 20th time because I thought if i replayed the whole thing I would somehow get it (genuinely I think that I started kotor from the beginning like 50 times as a kid and never made it farther than the sewers). but now here i was, years later, learning to be a jedi.

I put the game down again somewhere around Manann when I was 16 because I had a 2015 macbook and an $11 bluetooth mouse, so the gameplay was just too damn hard. but I picked it up a third time when my roommates boyfriend offered to give us his old xbox for our apartment, so now here I am at 21, in college, on the unknown world and I’m finally gonna finish it :)

my roommates asked why I was so excited about a video game and unfortunately when I tried to explain it they just didnt understand. so posting my story here because I feel like this is the place for it.

:: Soldier/Jedi Consular ::

Soldier: Level 9

Jedi Consular: Level 11

Swipe to see more images. The concept of this build is to close the gap as much as possible. I essentially made an expanded Scout without using Scout or Jedi Sentinel that relies more on Battle rather than skills. I used Soldier to specialize in Melee/Swords early on and Mastered in Flurry while going to Implant Level 3. I also added Masted Two-Weapon Fighting and Master Power Attack. I stacked on many immunities using equipment and even found a way to cover more than one type of damage using Melee.

The direct opposite of what people call the best K1 build in Scoundrel/Jedi Guardian. I specialized in combat early and reaped the rewards later for Force usage. I revolved myself around an Armor and Melee build as opposed to Robes and Saber. Of course, that means some Force Powers are restricted due to Armor, so I had to work around that.

Starting Attributes: 18/10/14/8/12/10

Put everything in Strength at 18. Put 10 in Dexterity and Charisma because you don't want any negatives for those. Intelligence won't matter in this build, so keep it 8. 14 for Constitution and 12 for Wisdom to keep a +2 in Con and +1 in Wis. With this build, that is all you'll need because it will go a long way.

Equipment:

• Implant: Sith Regenerator (Level 3)
• Regenerates 2+ Health
• Head: Bothan Sensory Visor
• Immunity: Critical Hits
• Gloves: Dominator Gauntlets
• +5 to Strength
• Left Arm: Mandalorian Melee Shield
• Protection: Bludgeoning, Piercing, Slashing
• Armor: Environmental Bastion Armor
• 100% Resistance to Cold, Fire, Sonic along with Immunity: Mind-Affecting, Poison
• Right Arm: Brejik's Arm Band
• Resistance to Slashing
• Off-Hand: Naga Sadow's Poison Blade
• Poison 25 DC: Best Poison Melee Weapon
• Belt: Electrical Capacitance Shield
• 100% Resistance to Electricity
• Main-Hand: Baragwin Assault Blade
• Best Melee Weapon for Damage output

Attack modifer with weapons is +28/+30; +30 in the main hand, +28 in the off-hand.

All Skill Points should go to Persuade because you won't need any of the others. As long as you don't get hit and die quick early on in Taris, you won't need to worry about any of it. You will need a very high Persuade due to the 10 Charisma once you pair it with the Dominate Mind ability, which will help your persuasion skills in dialogue quite alot.

Force Powers:

• Master Heal
• Improved Energy Resistence (optional)
• Destroy Droid
• Insanity or Force Kill
• Force Whirlwind or Force Wave

Note: If you opt for Force Wave, you might have to sacrifice Improved Energy Resistence and opt for the weaker variant or another Force Power. Force Whirlwind has its perks, like hurling enemies in the air for example.

Insanity is the Mind-Affecting ability. You won't need Plague because you have Poison Damage in Naga Sadow's Poison Blade in the off-hand. Wound/Choke/Kill also works and might be more optimal if you want extra damage output. I just prefer the idea of driving a sea of enemies mad and attacking with the swords to chop them down.

Feats:

• Master Two-Weapon Fighting
• Heavy Armor
• Master Flurry (Or Master Critical Strike)
• Implant Level 3
• Master Power Attack
• Weapon Specialization: Melee

Note: I picked Flurry over Critical Strike because while Flurry doesn't stun opponents, I feel it adds extra hits. Extra hits means extra damage, which is always a good thing. It also goes back to the beginning of the post when I said I made an expanded Scout build out of Soldier using Flurry and Implants.

Between Master Two-Weapon Fighting and Weapon Specialization: Melee, your attack modifier is going to be through the roof. Where Jedi Consular more excels more in Force usage rather than combat, there is no room to make a Saber specialist with this particular build. Take all the advantage you can get with Soldier's elite combat skills early on before you are forced to pick a Jedi class on Dantooine. Since you aren't going to be using Force Jump due to not using Sabers or not wearing Robes, you won't need Guardian. Since you don't have the need for natural Immunities due to Equipment, you won't need Sentinel either. Take the extra save multipliers with Consular and never look back.

Endgame Attributes: 23/10/14/8/12/10

Dominator Gauntlets adds +5 to the 23 Strength to make 28 (+9) total.

I hope you guys enjoyed reading!

So I’ve bought kotor 2 on my switch since im a Star Wars fan and I also heard it was a good game. Now I’m in what I think is the first planet where you need to get out with your ship. And oh god I’m so fucking lost I keep going back to some place to get a some voice record and I don’t know if I will continue cause a this point I might just stop playing. I know I might seem like a cry baby but I rlly wanna finish the game since it looks amazing but I still don’t know where the hell I’m going. Any tip?

Is it possible to import a save of KOTOR 1 from MacOS to iPhone IOS. I had been trying to mod a save with KSE and was able to get some help with that on a MAC save. Is it possible to export that save into iOS?

Hi everyone.

I’m a big starwars fan, I’ve recently dove into the EU through audiobooks, and am yearning to get more Revan story outside of the book.

I’ve tried to get into the game before, but I can never seem to stick with it for more than an hour or so. I never played it as a kid, and the concept of building a team, swapping out team members, is a little daunting to me.

Does anyone have any tips that might improve my ability to stay interested in the game?

Also, I often like to try to min-max things, so any tips for the early game would also be much appreciated.

Thanks in advanced!

Edit: I’ve been playing on steam, but if it would be a better experience on PS5, I’d be happy to restart and play there too

I bought the Nintendo Switch edition of Kotor 1 a few days ago since it was on sale and wanted to play the game in 1080p with a controller (while you can mod the PC version to run in 1080p it does not have the option for controller support). Coming from PC though, I missed some of the quality of life improvement mods. Mainly for me, the Jedi from the start mod.

After finding this thread and discovering it had not been updated with the end result, I decided to speed run Taris as a Jedi to see if you could progress without breaking the game. The short answer is: Yes, you can become a Jedi while playing on Taris and progress. However, be warned this method will require sequence breaking and you not be able to use Bastila until you reach Dantooine. You will also be playing part of Dantooine out of order once you arrive normally after completing Taris. This method will require use of the cheat code menu available on the switch version and warping between Taris and Dantooine.

Here is my guide to becoming a Jedi early and successfully getting through Taris without breaking your game.

1. Begin the game and progress all the way through Endar Spire until you are on Taris. Trask has to be removed from your party selection screen like normal before you can perform a later step that requires Bastila to be added to your party early.

2. When you start in the apartment, triple click the left joystick of your switch controller to bring up the built in cheat code menu. Scroll through the menu until you see an option called "Spawn Cheat Bot". Choose it and a protocol droid will appear in front of you.

3. Speak to the droid and select "I need to make an NPC available to my party". Choose Bastila. Select "I want to quit" to end the conversation.

4. Exit the apartment like normal. You should see Bastila as an available party member to add. Choose both her and Carth.

5. Complete the fight with the Sith officer and 2 battle droids right outside your apartment.

6. Open the cheat menu and spawn the cheat bot again. This time, select "I need to set the planet location variable". Choose Dantooine and quit the conversation again. What this does is it changes the "return to hideout" function on Taris to "return to ebon hawk" function on the planet of Dantooine.

7. Open the menu and navigate to the map. Press X to return to the ebon hawk. You should now load onto Dantooine as if you have completed Taris.

8. At this point, go talk to the Jedi counsel and progress the story until you start your Jedi training like you would in a normal play through. Once you have your lightsaber and have leveled up once to gain force powers, it's time to return to Taris.

8a. On a side note: the way this sequence break works is that the game now locks Bastila from your party since she is now waiting on you to complete your Jedi training on Dantooine. You will NOT be able to use Bastila on Taris at all.

1. Open the cheat menu and spawn the cheat bot again. Choose "I need to set the planet location variable" and choose Taris. Open your map and press X to return to your hideout on Taris.

2. When you spawn on Taris, you'll have to fight the Sith officer and 2 battle droids again. This is normal. After this step, you will pretty much progress through Taris as normal until the end of the Swoop race where you need to rescue Bastila.

3. Before speaking to Bastila at the swoop track go ahead and save your game. The next step gets tricky and may require a few attempts before getting it right.

4. Speak to Bastila. The game will teleport you back to your apartment. However, once the game finishes the loading screen all you will see is a black screen with the hideout music playing. What's happened is the game cannot load Bastila since she is currently locked from your party and it fails to play the cutscene with her and Carth. HOWEVER, you can still cycle through objects in your hideout to interact with using your left/right triggers and select them with the A button like normal.

5. Try to cycle left or right and press A on objects until you select the front door. This part willl be tricky since you can't see anything on screen. You will know you clicked the door if the game loads the cutscene of the player character getting out of bed and speaking to Carth like you would after escaping the Endar Spire. If you press A and this cutscene does not trigger, pause the game and reload the save from the swoop track. If the screen is still black when you load the swoop track: press the home button on your switch controller, close the game, start the game, and load the Swoop track save again. Speak to Bastila and repeat the previous step. Keep trying until you get the get out of bed cutscene to play.

6. After the cutscene plays and you talk to Carth again, exit the apartment. The game will then play the usual cutscene of a messenger telling you to meet Canderous in the cantina. Proceed through the game like normal (minus the ability to use Bastila) until you reach the Ebon Hawk at Davik's compound.

7. Save in front of the Ebon Hawk just in case.

8. Go inside the Ebon Hawk. Interestingly, the game does load the cutscene with Bastila telling you to man the turrets despite her not being available to load. When you finish the turret mini game, you will be standing in the Ebon Hawk cockpit without speaking to Carth or Bastila (who is still missing). You will see space instead of any planet outside your ship window. Go to the star map and select Dantooine. Then, go to the boarding ramp and walk out. The game will prompt you to select your party as if you are landed on a planet.

9. You are now back on Dantooine. The game will load you where you left off in your Jedi training when you just built your lightsaber. You can progress to Juhani, redeem her, and Bastila will rejoin your party afterwards without any repercussions.

Speed running through Taris to see if this method works was some of the most excitement I've had with Kotor in years as someone who has played the game at least a hundred times since childhood. I've never done sequence breaking before and it was really fun getting to try it with my all time favorite game.

I hope this guide helps anyone who is looking to become a Jedi on the switch version from the start of the game like I was. May The Force Be With You!

Currently doing a dark side playthrough and found that I actually don't mind Peragus, I feel like it's a pretty nice introduction to the game. Telos is one of my favorite places in KOTOR II, so that was also a joy...but Nar Shadaa...man...everything looks the same to shades of green and grey, everyone hates you or mistrusts you (well, makes sense), no interesting side quests, convulated main quest. I am now at the point were it cuts back and forth between multiple characters which is a nice trick, but man. I just want to leave Nar Shaddaa so desperately and go to a place that has a nice sky. I feel like I'm unintentionally roleplaying here!

In the kotor comics malak(known as Alek at this time) met carth onasi during the mandalore wars during the incident where adasca was trying to sell the space slugs to ether the republic or mandalore so how in kotor when Saul karath tells malak that bastilla and the player character were aided by a war hero named carth onasi decorated many times during the mandalore wars for his bravery and malak says you know this man? How did he not remember carth when they had met and Saul was also at that bidding war for the space slugs in fact all 3 of them were together during that incident so is this just a plot hole or what?

Both are almost completely immersed in the dark side and Vaapad channels a dark side user's energy into skill and power. If Mace time travelled back to KOTOR 2 times and fought both of them, they'd be absolutely screwed.

Thank god its only free and i didnt have to waste money on this.. downloaded both of them from epicgames. I truly enjoyed kotor1 and have high expectations in kotor2 but.... im having a difficult time enjoying it.. it sucks.. intro in peragus is boring.telus is ok. Im in narshada and i kept on dying specially when im using my party(not exile) playing this long and i still dont have a lightsaber.. will this get any good?

Hooking pc up to tv is just too damn small to read
