Tell me Sup Forums should I play this game?
I try it a year ago but didn't continue because things

Do you recommend mods that improved the game (if it has) or just keep vanilla?

Play it vanilla. This was the last good game of Bioware.

Idk, I've only ever played it vanilla on my OGBox. But do play it.

FlawlessWidescreen is pretty easy to use, 1080 is the minimum you should play at.

Texture mods are as simply as downloading and popping into your "override" folder in the game's root directory. If it's not there just create it.

/r/kotor has a couple of modlists

It's a solid game with a story that's a bit too standard for me, but I still enjoyed it. It's worth at least one playthrough even if it's hit and miss.

play it vanilla but use a guide to make a godlike sith with a team of gods that have duped items

The dialogue options for your character make you sound like you're a 12 year old, but other than that it's a fantastic game that's aged remarkably well for a 14 year old real time turn based RPG. Kotor 2 is even better though, minus some cut corners because the devs were rushed by the cocksuckers at Lucasarts.

Kotor and Kotor 2 with the restoration patch are definitely worth playing at least once.

I'm playing it now. Starting to dawn on me that bioware was cancer straight from the get-go. Pretty sure BG2 was an accident.

Just play it on your phone

>opinion

But you have the choice of saying you want to slaughter them.

at which point you gain bad boy points and your cry baby partner calls you an evil bigot

Wrong. Thst was DA:O

Play all the non-force classes but trooper and you've experienced the highlights.

no, it's boring

So? Collecting "bad boy points" and pissing off Carth(And eventually killing him) is the best part of the game. Better than having the entire world fellate you for any choice you make.

>The dialogue options for your character make you sound like you're a 12 year old
It's almost like they wrote characters in Star Wars franchise huh

>good/evil options in a game set in a universe fundamentally about good guy jedis and bad guy siths
Wow how terrible

No OP but i'm interested on this, what guide do you recommend?

Getting the wookie to kill Mission was so fucking dastardly

Get the mod that makes all the silly head gear invisible

>angry that supporting racial genocide earns evil points
I can't tell what's ironic or sincere on this hell-site anymore.

It's a solid game overral with the restoration patch. I'd say play it at least once if just to understand the plot so you can move on to KotOR 2, which is a much better game in every regard.

I want to be a edgy op sith lord, what build do you recommend?

im an obsidian shill, but kotor 2 is shit

Alright, I'll bite.
Why is it shit, user?

>there's no option to politely express reservations about a literal crime-ridden underworld comprised almost entirely of foreigners

really tinkles your trinket

Just Jedi Consular with maxed wisdom, stasis field + lightning to win every encounter. But if you really want to be an edgy op shit lord, you should play kotor 2 because it has prestige classes and one of them is literally sith lord with a spell that oneshot kills bosses.

just go into that cave on the ebil planet and keep touching the guys sack and using force thunder on the invisilizards that spawn until you are outlevelled enough to one punch kreia

Nope.

It's about race and skin color being used as a scapegoat for more complex societal issues.

>Play this
>Get to the part where you are not playing as outcast
>Alright I hate when they do this but how bad can it be?
>Boss fight with a character I never used or geared

DA:O has a great a great combat system on nightmare difficulty. The moral choices are somewhat predictable, but the minor controversies which surround them are still interesting as long as you don't use Alistair ever.

Yep, that moment is fucking trash. What were they thinking I have no idea, it's simply retarded. And I love kotor2

Sten was awesome

>Why are we not stopping the blight warden?
>Shut up bitch
>Sten approves +2

The sequel is better

I'd assume because it's unfinished, but that's par for the course with obsidian anyways.
Literally Obsidian's only good game.

New vegas and mask of the betrayer exist.

Haven't actually played Mask of the Betrayer, but...
>New Vegas

not him but if new vegas can't even be considered a good game than what's a great one to you?

It's an eight year old game that still gets positive nightly threads about it. Got to mean something.

Carth is a wet blanket, ignore him

>What were they thinking I have no idea

They thought you would have a balanced rotation of your partners as you play, leveling them all up equally. They thought wrong.

The idea that Kotor 2 is some masterpiece is instantly refuted by the existence of Peragus. It's so bad that people had to mod in the ability to skip it.

it's honestly a great introduction, it makes actually being able to communicate with people later on extremely refreshing. it doesn't begin to be a problem in my opinion until you've expended at least 3 playthroughs on the different options it gives you at which point i think it's fair to say that its earned more replay value than 99% of games

>It's so bad that people had to mod in the ability to skip it

Oh shit, time ti reinstall KOTOR2 and do a new playthrough, now Peragus-free.

>it's honestly a great introduction
No, it's not. It takes far too long (in my first playthrough I clocked in 4 hours), it involves talking to 3 people and a droid the entire time, the enemies are all the fucking same, it places tons of arbitrary restrictions on where you can go which causes you to go back and forth, and the only character you really care about in the context of that planet, you end up killing at the end. Also there's literally no mystery, the second you talk to HK, you know he killed everyone and is stalling you.

>implying that its not extremely satisfying to rise from the caste that you were born in to only to return to the Deep Roads and be the saviour of the very people who shunned you
>Implying it isn't extremely satisfying to defeat a demonic plague that sweeps across the land with only a handful of strangers that you eventually form friendships or rivalries with along the way
>Implying its not extremely satisfying to have a library's worth of tall tales, legends, epics, and historical retellings packed in to one familiar yet foreign setting to absorb at you leisure

I literally cannot understand why people dislike Dragon Age: Origins.

I've replayed peragus 4 times, it's not that bad, just long, the space walk is cancer, but otherwise there is a lot of good dialogue there and a lot of stuff to figure out, like dead space.

No Dead Space is neat because there's a constant feeling of unease and claustrophobia like you're never safe. In Kotor 2, even if you go a full dual wielding guns build (which I did as it's fun as hell), you never feel like you're in danger.

you're not wrong, I just still think it's so interesting to emerge from such a psychologically isolating tutorial level into the real world where you FEEL like you can communicate with people, but then you soon realize that there is a strain of pessimism running through everything and you wonder if you're better off communicating anyways.

> the second you talk to HK, you know he killed everyone and is stalling you.

true but that's no different from Link knowing that Ganondorf is the big bad although I'd argue that this is more nuanced in my opinion because you get to blow him up in an hour or two anyways but you're still left to wonder for a long time why he wanted you dead.

play it on hard if you're not a bitch

I find the comparison to Dead Space more preposterous than the idea of space zombies in the first place.

>You need to

>I just still think it's so interesting to emerge from such a psychologically isolating tutorial level into the real world where you FEEL like you can communicate with people

All I felt was that I went from one tutorial planet to a second one. People seem to ignore just how much of a tutorial the space station is too, except instead it's a tutorial on communication and sidequests.

>find Zevran irritating
>mfw game allows you to shank him when you first meet him

I love old Bioware games.

Can we just take a moment to acknowledge how pointlessly large they made the ship that docks on Paragus that brought the sith? That shit was so boring it almost made me stop playing, and I fucking love everything Star Wars.

You mean the not-Endar Spire?

Yeah, the not-trap that totally didn't bring the not-jedi with the not-obvious foreshadowing in the form of a not-cutscene.

true, your travel is still restricted, but again I'm just going to say that I liked that when I played it at first. of course it's annoying now, I started a game maybe 3 months ago and dropped it almost instantly. I wanted to make an intelligent guardian so i could have a ton of feats and skill and let party members deal with combat but it's not viable.

another huge problem is that the entire moral of the game is that you're supposed to eschew dark and light extremes yet doing that cuts you off from a significant portion of game content. that's another replay dealbreaker for me

The fact that HK-50 wants you to wait for the ship is all the proof you need that it's a bad idea.

Keep the game vanilla with the exception of any widescreen mod you may want to use.
Aside from that, I'd suggest reading up on how to build your character if you don't know how D&D works or how saving levels can affect your character.
Don't listen to Sup Forums when they say KotOR 2 is the superior one, it's pseudo-intellectualism and philosophy wearing a Star Wars coat, but even that amount of brand recognition cannot contain the sheer amount of fedora tipping forced into the game, primarily through the mouth of Kreia but a few other characters as well on occasion.
In short, play the first KotOR if you want to enjoy a good old-fashioned Star Wars adventure along with all the good and bad things that come with that.
Play KotOR 2 if you enjoy or want to experience the pretentious garbage that is Obsidian's writing, all contained within the broken, imbalanced gameplay and content of an unfinished title.

Should I download the removed content mod?

And millions of people still like Call of Duty.
See pic

I gotta mention that when I met OG-HK I made a noise that probably sounded like an excited squeal just because I didn't know he was in 2 and 1.

>Mfw opening the closet he's in

That's kotor 2

>being shit-caste
>not being the second noble son of the king who should have ruled but respected tradition, falsely accused by his fratricidal third brother & cast out to his doom, only to return, discover his newborn son, and see the child returned to his noble birthright after overpowering his treacherous brother's machinations and slaying him for his crimes in the very chamber of the senate, in righteous self-defense.

Fucking this.
Also, side with ur waifu Bastila for best story ;)

No fuck that. Bastila is cute and JennHale has a great performance but that romance was fucking Anakin and Padme-tier.

>love HK
>look up mechanics on companions
>HK is objectively shit gameplay-wise and statted completely wrong to the point that it feels like a joke

>anakin and padme-tier
So, canon-tier?

Why won't Bioware/EA update KOTOR like obsidian did with KOTOR 2?

Also I'd go into why it's the best choice but SPOILERS.

Yes, but also horrible.
youtu.be/Qr81SliHytA?t=2m43s

Oh shit, for a second I thought that first guy was right, but then Nope.

FUCK THAT FUCK YOU FUCK

I'd like KOTOR 1 more if the companions weren't complete trash compared to 2's companions.

Pro strats from the pros;

The people who say Soldier or Scout are the best starting class are stupid and wrong. It's all about the Scoundrel. What's more, you actually want to level to LEAST level 6, if not level 7. This is because Scoundrel gets two unique feats. First, Scoundrel's Luck, which the level 6 version gives a whooping +4 to defense, but more importantly, Sneak Attack.

Most people know Sneak Attack triggers on Force Jump, but what a surprising number of people don't realize is that it triggers on enemies that are stunned. By anything. So Stun Field, Force Kill, Insanity, all of those incredibly OP powers you are using anyway are going to trigger Sneak Attack. You are essentially ALWAYS going to be Sneak Attacking if you're playing right.

But that's only half the fun, because Sneak Attack doesn't trigger per round, it triggers per hit. At Sneak Attack IV, which you get at level 7, that's 4d6. So, Two-Weapon Fighting, that's 2 hits per round, Master Flurry, that's 3 hits per round, and Master Speed, that's 5 hits per round, which translated into a massive 20d6 per round, or an 20-120 extra damage.

Also, if you go Scoundrel/Consular, it gives you every single skill as a class skill.

wow look it's a minmaxing dual wield autist

Actually I alway go Dueling, because it's less stupid looking.

user this game is so easy that what you're doing isn't necesary

How else are you going to slap Malak's shit on the Leviathan in a single hit?

But it's fun.

The crime lords are still largely human and (((hutts))). The division on Taris is well-established as class issue, not racial.

It's non canon so it should be ignored

tried to play it on PC but it won't run no matter what. it keeps telling me i'm missing a bunch of DLLs

what's the point of breezing past the whole game?

Pretty much this.

This game is easy in the long run. Its just what class skips through battles the fastest.

That's entirely up to you, really. Personally, I prefer to keep things vanilla for my first playthrough, even if as a completionist, restoring lost content is tempting.
I'd suggest not to though, considering KotOR2 is supposed to be the "finished" product. I mean, just imagine how half-baked and unfinished the content they opted to remove from the game was when the finished product is what it is.

jew jew's new series is canon so it must be good, right?

correct

yes but dont play KOTOR2 its garbage

youtube.com/watch?v=L91eFuox25U

LMAO

It's worth it. It's the last good game Bioware ever made, and the only good Star Wars related thing that isn't the original trilogy.

started playing it an hour ago and playing it through a few times on the OG xbox, holy fuck this bug that doesn't allow me to move after combat is fucking shitting me, havent even left the ship at the start of the game because of it

what a brainlet opinion that shows your lack of knowledge on the franchise
