KotOR 2 - The Mod Awakens

Gamepressure tells the story about how a modder helped to recreate the content of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II and reinvigorate the game.

The developers realized that the game will need to be seriously cut, but they didn’t have much of a choice. However, what did not end up in the game, was not lost forever… not long after the release, it became clear that the game contains lots of code fragments and assets that refer to – theoretically – non-existent areas, characters or quests. Today, 10 years after the release date, KotOR II is still alive, and it’s mainly because of those “deleted” fragments, that the community of fans was able to retrieve. The most famous modification, The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod, put the game back on its tracks and gave it a form that the creators wanted it to have in the first place. It’s not possible to count how many changes were made in the original, but because of those changes the game is currently in a fantastic condition. We need to be thankful to a small group of people, without whom there would be no point in talking about KotOR II; now, some people even say that the sequel is as good as the original game.
