KOTOR 2 Restoration mod complete!

As spotted by those handsome poms at Rock, Paper, Shotgun The Sith Lords Restoration Project is complete! The Sith Lords Restoration Project, for those unfamiliar, is a mod developed for Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 - the truly amazing sequel to Knights of the Old Republic, developed by Obsidian and which came out in 2005.




KOTOR 2 was not unfinished when it came out, but its final hours were lacking a lot of content - going from a series of fully realised planets filled with enemies to fight to the sparse and mostly empty Malachor V. Apparently Lucasarts wanted the game to launch in 2004, forcing Obsidian to cut a decent chunk of content they had developed for the game - including an entire planet and a lot of end game content. A lot of the assets had already been developed however and The Sith Lords Restoration Project is a mod designed to reintroduce that content and fix many of the bugs which plagued the title.

You can grab the mod - a 60MB download - from ModDB or the mod team's official site - which is a good place to check out if you run into trouble when you're using it and has a slew of mods which are compatible with TSLRP. In fact the most difficult part of playing this mod is going to be grabbing the actual game - I couldn't find it for digital download anywhere and physical copies are equally scarce. eBay is probably your best bet.

Did you like KOTOR 2 and are you going to grab this mod? I have it all set up and ready to go, I'm hoping to get a chance to start playing it by the end of the week. I enjoyed the game enough without the mod that I'd like to play it again, but with TSLRP I have an even better reason. How about you? Let us know in the comments below!

I've been waiting for this since somebody dug up the script for the unfinished content from the game's files. Time to head back to KOTOR2.

You're kidding, it's done?? It seems like I was a little kid when I first unpacked this sucker and thought: "It feels like something is missing around the end here"... Time to reinstall!

Sadly I only have KOTOR 2 on Xbox. I preferred the first one because I thought the story was much better, but I might have to hunt down a PC version of 2 and give this a whirl. Maybe this will prompt gog to acquire the rights to the franchise and make things easier.

Wait KOTOR 2 is available on the PC? i've been wondering why it's not available on steam. for the brief time i played it on my friends xbox it was a pretty awesome game. maybe i'll get my hands on it again.

And I have been playing Vampire since the sales, the unofficial 8.1 patch is pretty damn good Squids.

I know, Frisco. :) It's one of those under-rated gems that never really got the love it deserved. Wesp, who makes the best unoffical patches, seems utterly devoted to making it perfect. Good for him!

VTM:BL was one of the first games I ever got when I bought myself a proper gaming PC. I hadn't left home at that point and was living with my dad and siblings - who would all come in and sit behind me to watch me play. I've never seen them so upset as when I got that endgame bug, which at the time was impossible to pass. Such a great game. JUST LIKE KOTOR 2
