Kotor 2's goofiness makes me miss OLD Star Wars

- Kotor is in my top 5 favorite Star Wars games, so I tried out Kotor 2 after playing the original over 5 years ago. Making this video was a complete blast and its meant to be entertaining with some light review like elements. Needless to say Kotor 2 has also made it in my top 5 Star Wars games. By the end of the game, I realized how much I miss things from old Star Wars and how cool everything in legends material is.

Forgetting to record Peragus is both understandable and suspicious knowing there exists a mod that lets you skip the entire sequence there, peculiar...
to be be fair. paragus is boring your 15th playthrough. if it was halved i would be much better. just my 2 credits
Not taking Kreia with you everywhere whenever you can is a great Kotor II sin! (at least in your first few playthroughs)
I personally hate how much she scolds the player character
So I didn't want to bring her along😂
@@D-generateYT I used to feel the same but now I love engaging in her debates knowing that my opinion is, of course, the objectively correct one and the batty old womp rat can do nothing about my actions bar suck my Chodo and gargle my G0-T0s
@@D-generateYT Give someone 5 credits, scolds you for making him a target, the only other option is to threaten him with death for which she scolds you as a psychopath... Even does it from 500m away as you leave her on the ship.
I never take her along anywhere because I don’t feel like getting scolded for 20 hours - she invades your mind all the time anyways no matter if you take her along or not.
My notes about your playthrough:
1. “Citadel Station”.
2. Love the “Leroy Jenkins” reference! Well done!
3. If you want a lightsaber faster, go to Nar Shaddaa first. You can get one piece from slipping the juma juice to the kath hounds, one from Visas attacking you, and one from reuniting Lootra and Aaida.
4. On Dantooine, you can program the protocol droids in the workbench room to go into “meet and greet mode” and they kill most of the laigreks for you.
5. I don’t feel like Ed Asner sounds like Morgan Freeman, but you are free to think so!
6. It bugs me how Mira pronounces characters’ names differently at different times, sometimes in quick succession. First he’s “VOH-ga” the Hutt, then “VAHG-ga” the next line after.
7. Interesting that you liked Mandalore that much! He was never my fave.
8. Yes, your performance in the Training Room on Korriban will always be “unacceptable” regardless of how long you take.
9. You don’t actually have to go to the cave on Korriban at all. Not sure if it’s a glitch, but you can go to the academy, find dead Lonna, hit Sion a few times, then go away.
10. What glitch are you referring to that made the bosses easy/annoyed you?
11. Malachor was turned to rubble because of Bao-Dur. Mandalorians were evil, Bao makes a weapon, commits some genocide, feels bad. (It’s weird how he can kill thousands of people and be fully light-side, but you try to tell someone that your ship isn’t theirs and you get Dark Side points.)
12. I don’t understand how the Ebon Hawk is still in flyable condition after crashing into a valley. It mysteriously dislodges itself and the port section unwrinkles itself and flies away. Whee!
13. When Kreia dies, shouldn’t the exile die too?
14. Being a wound in the Force, how do you control the Force? Some places, like 100% Star Wars, say that it’s actually Kreia’s Force that you use because you have the Force Chain thingy. But if that’s the case, how can you kill her with her own Force? It’s weird. I don’t get that.
Anyway, that was fun. Great game, amusing commentary!
Playing this without RCM is a crime.
When I started playing I didn't have it downloaded
But it is definitely a better experience with the mod
i did the story three times without the RCM, guess i am going to install the RCM to end the story again and see if it makes more sense than it originally did.
I thought it was really baked into the steam edition at this point
*cries in console*
@@krisdeaglephotography4539 I'm sorry to hear of your struggle 😢
Based game. More people my age (teens) should play games like these, they arent trash and have actual good story.
This game came out the year I was born, and it's a golden gem that makes modern games look like trash
@@D-generateYThey someone my age that appreciates this older game, you wouldn’t happen to have played morrowind
Yes, play Morrowind. Also, you might enjoy the original fallout/baldur's gate games, Traditional western rpgs just hit different; they're much more comprehensive than most modern shlop. Witnessing the rpg scene's fall in real time from what I grew up with (those aforementioned titles) to today has been a shame. Everything just tries to be BotW. Which I like... Just do something else. At least BGIII is good, ha!
Love the intro to the video! Glad to see people still trying out Kotor 2 for the first time, it is one of my favourite games, and by far my favourite star wars story of all time.
Immediately jumping in with a comment though just to correct you that Jedi Consular isn't the "Worst starting class in the game", it's actually QUITE powerful if you build it right, arguably the strongest starting class in the game combat wise even for most fights in the game (it only struggles in the optional solo fights where you aren't allowed to use your force powers like in Atris' Academy and the Dxun Battle Circle)--If we're talking prestige classes though, Jedi Master is by far the worst one, that's for sure haha. But the game does even warn you in character creation that Jedi Consular is more of a difficult option to play that's more designed for veterans.
Oh, so I'm about 30 minutes into the video (great video by the way), but I think I've noticed that you don't seem to be playing with the Restored Content Mod?
Kotor 2 released in a VERY unfinished and buggy state, with a BUNCH of content that was cut from the game in order for Obsidian to be able to release the game on time based on what Lucas Arts demanded them to release the game on. A team of dedicated fans spent over a decade working on a Restored Content mod to basically try to fix and complete the game.
Clearly you've already finished the game as is, but as far as ever playing the game again on a new playthrough, or just recommending new players to play the game, everyone would pretty much recommend only playing the game with this mod (including the developers of the game, the mod is practically required content in order for the ending the key points of the game to not feel like complete garbage. Lots of story based context is completely missing in the base version of the game without the restored content mod, unfortuantely).
Finally the KOTOR 2/Welcome to the Internet crossover I’ve been waiting for
25:45 I almost forgot how ugly that one NPC was.
11:21 famous last words
that Tank Droid on Telos just frustrates me! I just place a crap ton of mines by the door before it opens, and it always kills it and I walk in, laying on the floor dead! I pick up remaining un-used mines
You can get lightsabers on the first planet before you even get the zabrak guy as a companion.
huh? how?
No
@@MDE_never_dies I swear I got a lightsaber from one of the two brothers shops on the telos station. Unless is was a bug or I'm going crazy? It was a really long time ago that I played.
@@dakota9650 Possibly after you've already built your first saber, after that they pop up everywhere.
@@dakota9650probably just a crystal
First KOTOR is better in: story, planets, more interesting
Second KOTOR is better in: characters development, items/weapons/armor upgrade
So KOTOR 2 would be epic if there was more planets!
Kotor 1 story is a basic heroes journey. 😅
I love both obviously but I prefer 2. The more lore heavy character driven deconstruction works just a bit better than the standard heros journey
Bro, you have to play the Restored Content Mod. There's more story and an entire planet that got cut out! You also didn't talk about turning the companions into Jedi, so tsk tsk
But still a very fun video, always love re-visiting KOTOR
Don't worry, everyone who has played the game is sick of Peragus anyway. And no point in helping people who haven't played it speed run getting sick of it.
Gameplay wise this game is absolutely superb even to Kotor 1. It’s like every aspect was improved.
Story-wise however… the story itself is good, I just feel like it’s told extremely poorly. Also, comprising the roaster of companions 75% of which are forced to follow us and don’t tag along voluntarily might not be the best option if they are supposed to be likeable…
Damn! I chose Jedi Consular too. Just because it was what I played as in KOTOR and I liked it. But did they make it bad here?
You are very strong, very astute. I feel the pride.
Hmm....see some skill issues but not bad at all for a first time through. Did better than I did (I managed to soft-lock my game to be impossible to finish at Telos Station).
You made the worst build for a consular, that's for sure. Apart from T3 opening that damaged door with a mine, you can get through the first phase with 8 str and 8 dex on difficult. By the time you're on Telos, your force powers are already landing consistently on enemies. All you need to do is pick Energy Resistance as your first Force Power on Peragus.
It was... an okay-ish game (compared to first KOTOR) until that stupid planet where at one point game forces you to play all your characters, rapidly switching scenes one after another. Sure, maybe I overreacted, but that moment made me SOOO MAD I never played it again. Does not help that all saves of that playthrough somehow vanished after my ragequit and I don't feel like playing through half that game again. Even with cheats on just for the story.
Never had I anything similar to this in first kotor.
I can’t tell if you’re talking about Malachor V or Nar Shaddaa.
@@goroakechi6126 Yes, nar shaddaa. For some reason I thought it's the name of another planet.
@@Dargorthverse
Yeah
That section in that planet sucks
TCW was such a shit show
This sucks!
