>>1242344 K1 Restoration Mod exists, it's just not really worth it. Most of the deleted stuff was removed for a good reason.

>>1240774 Were they planning on dark Jedi wearing trooper armor at one point

>>1242344 I guess because unlike with KOTOR 2, the first game feels like a finished product. Sure there is a cut planet, some cut quests, dialogues and so on, but for the most part you don't feel it's absence, unlike with the sequel, especially towards the end.

>>1246621 >Sure there is a cut planet I wonder if they'll restore Sleheyron in the remake, if only for some extra lore content

>>1249776 >is pozzed shit What does this have to do with the game mechanics?

It's such a shame that the star wars franchise is so damaged, every new announcement has me uninterested and mournful when I should be excited. Do you think star wars can ever do a 180 and save itself? Also will we see another game like Empire At War?

how do I Kotor 1 on 2560x1440 without minimizing U.I to sub-atomic level?

>>1241908 what would you even rebalance? KotOR1 isn't nearly as broken as the 2nd game

>>1263914 Not while disney owns it. They intend to milk it to death. It's over.

>>1264664 The final boss in kotor is bullshit to be fair. I only beat him by laying down a million land mines because I didn't invest in the specific force power you need to destroy his cloning machines.

>>1263914 >>1264688 Andor is okay, so I think it is possible for something good to come out of Star Wars yet. Extremely unlikely, still.

>>1264703 I remember I had to abuse the stun (force wave?) to be able to beat him

>>1264664 Make Sentinel actually worth a damn Same with the Skills Make blaster builds viable Make Mission actually suitable for melee and HK-47 for ranged as was initially planned >>1263914 >Do you think star wars can ever do a 180 and save itself? Not at this point, no. It would require death of the franchise and selling it to someone who cares, and D*sney wouldn't allow it to happen >Also will we see another game like Empire At War? No, the era of games such as EaW is over. However, modding community's been kind to it. >>1264703 Unironically sounds like a skill issue. Malak is notorious for filtering shit builds out.

>>1165318 Playing along: Can you still strip Mission?

>>1264780 >No, the era of games such as EaW is over We got Battlefleet Gothic recently

>>1264866 I'll bet you can but she'll be older than 14, probably 18-20 just to be "sage"

>>1240671 Disney refuses to let Star Wars be cool again >>1241591 >Is Mission Vao no longer underage, because of how "icky" Tumblr thought that was? probably, or they'll make sure to bog her so no one will be attracted to her >>1263914 it would take a new CEO at Disney to spend a few years getting rid of the rot, they're gonna have to lose a lot more money first >>1293569 honestly the real smart move would be to just not comment on her age at all but still keep her little sister attitude the same, it gets the same idea across.

>>1216093 It's been made very clear the force rebalances it self when one side dominates, if the force doesn't have a will then it's impact on people is still a negative outcome. Even though we can identify, yes in fact the puppy kicking side of the force is worse, doesn't mean it's effect as a whole is not worth it's use. Ask your self what is really gained by using the force even from a jedi perspective if it will always create opposing sith, is space magic really required in order to save puppies from getting kicked? Or is it's very use of saving puppies in it self creating more puppies getting kicked? https://youtu.be/KHwiygoX7AU?si=llkR9zeJW9QFJyuH Perhaps it's not unreasonable to argue on the basis that the force will always exist and will always be used and as such it creates an equal response situation, nukes existing to stop other nukes from being used. But if there is the slightest chance to destroy the force permanently as Kreia believes, ending an unknowable amount of future conflicts and 'lucky few' from lording unearned power over others, then it should be pursued. for everyone's sake.

>>1240671 >but new Star Wars games have been so bad as have XCOM clones As opposed to what, exactly? When Lucas owned it the attitude was "fuck it, let's get paid" starting in 1981 and taken as a whole Star Wars vidya averages out to somewhere just north of shovelware. People love to bring up games like KotOR and Battlefront and Republic Commando while ignoring the 15+ educational games, the dozens of farmed-out mobile cash grabs dating back to before smartphones existed, multiple FMV rail shooters and other assorted atrocities like the original game based on ANH getting more re-releases than Skyrim (yes, literally) from 1981 all the way into the 90s. I'll take the Lucas approach hands down because it led to good as well as bad as opposed to the milquetoast slop that Yidsney has sanctioned but let's not pretend that Star Wars vidya was ever about anything but the money.

>>1295630 It can be two things at once, binaryfag. To quote Walter Disney: "We don't make movies to make money. We make money to make more movies."

>>1242081 >*AHEM* Baldur's Gate 3 And now Exp33

>>1242081 >*AHEM* Baldur's Gate 3 Utter garbage. Don't ever bring that shit up in the Kotor thread ever again nigger

>>1327626 I said nothing of it's quality as an RPG, only that it was popular with normalfags, which even you have to concede on this point.

>>1327638 While true, I bet most of the normgroids who play it play it in real time mode

>>1327644 I doubt it, since by default it enters turn based mode when a character enters combat, and I am not even sure if you can even activate "real time" during combat. At most you can cheese with some other character who is not in combat, to move around while everyone else is frozen, but the moment he is detected or attacks someone, he enters turn based mode as well.

>>1295386 >Disney refuses to let Star Wars be cool again More specifically, Disney refuses to allow the fans to decide what is and is not cool. Instead, they tell you what is cool and demand you Consume the Product created as a result of this marketable consumer good.

>>1328578 >More specifically, Disney refuses to allow the fans to decide what is and is not cool. Instead, they tell you what is cool and demand you Consume the Product created as a result of this marketable consumer good. While that's true enough, I think that Disney's more fundamental mistake was failing to understand the nature what they spent $4B burgerbux on. With Marvel, everything has been rehashed and rebooted and re-done and the reset button has been hit dozens if not hundreds of times over ~80 or so years and there was a fundamental understanding among the fans that it was nothing for Disney to create their own spin-off (the MCU) with its own casting and canon and themes and whatever. Star Wars was not like this. The meat and bones of Star Wars as a franchise is a period of around ~30 years centered on one family and everything else is just spun off from this core. Marvel fans don't really care if Spider-Man keeps getting rebooted (hard or soft) over and over again in slightly different flavors because that's what happens in the comics as well (even if it's not a reboot and is just another writer with a different take on the character taking over) but Star Wars fans care - a lot - about the characterization of Luke and Han and Leia because there was only ever one of each with one vision behind them. Iron Man being a snarky techbro is palatable to Marvel fans but Luke Skywalker being a bitter old bastard living in self-imposed exile while everything falls to shit around him is not okay with SW fans. The Star Wars EU provided a sort of pressure release valve for this by allowing the thematic scope of the universe to expand WITHOUT stepping on the toes of the films. To bring this back to the topic of the thread, KotOR is a great example of this. It has that Star Wars feel to it in the art and dialogue and what have you but at the same time it touches on aspects of Star Wars that the movies deliberately avoid, like the nature of the force re: dark and light. There was never going to be a Star Wars movie following the missions of a group of commandos, but Republic Commando scratched that itch; Star Wars was never about the military details of galactic conquest but the RTS games scratched that itch; etc. Many of these aspects of the Star Wars universe that don't fit in neatly with the scope and themes of the movies got some time to shine in comics or games. This lack of understanding is also why people have soured a bit on the Mandalorian - the first season, when it was basically just Lone Wolf and Cub in space was received as positively as it was by existing fans because of this. Also the fact that the ST is ass, but whatever. Later on when they started bringing in characters like Bo Katan and Asohka and Boba Fett because it's all gotta be heckin' interconnected it went to shit because of that. People would still happily be guzzling down the Mandalorian if it was just about a guy with badass armor and an alien baby wandering around taking jobs to survive and occasionally running into a familiar face from something else but Disney still thinks that the way to squeeze more shekels from a stone is to make sure that everything is interconnected. Disney really deserves to be sold for parts at this point but they keep making money so I doubt that that's going to happen.

>The Old Republic is still running around after the Eternal Empire Arc >The age, spaghetti code, and outright lack of documentation is starting to show >No new story update for Return of Darth Malgus because of the SAG-AFTRS strikes and lack of funding from EA to wrap everything up. I just want an offline mode because the Class stories are just good. But this is fucking sad.

>>1420313 I'd be more or less ok with TOR's existence if Bioware wrapped up the KOTOR legacy storyline (as much damage as it took in the process) with the vanilla class stories and maybe one extra expansion or something, and then continued to do their own thing. Unfortunately, they kept dragging on and shat out SoR and KotFE/KotET as a result, the latter being obviously rushed. That being said, I'll never be not sour that we got TOR instead of KOTOR3. Nothing will ever convince me that BW's MMO is a viable substitute for Avellone's original plans for the 3rd installment.

>>1420313 Why would there be new content after the Disney purchase anyway? It's all "Legends" and decanonized, so no one would get paid for it.

>>1420302 >failing to understand the nature Anon, they understood it completely. They bought it solely to destroy it–purposely and consciously–by invoking their ideological framework on the product. They cannot allow anything to exist outside of their ideological framework, anon. NOTHING, ANYWHERE can be allowed to exist unless it actively worships their gods.
