Sequel to the original KOTOR.

Posted : 2 years ago on 21 April 2022 07:40

Warning: Spoilers
KOTOR 2 takes place five years after the original KOTOR. This time, you play as an exiled Jedi Knight, a veteran of the Mandalorian Wars, who followed Revan to battle against the Jedi Council's wishes. The Sith have hunted the Jedi Order on the verge of extinction, you are the only known Jedi left, and the Sith are focusing all of their attention on you. In addition to that, the Republic is on the verge of collapse, still recovering from the Jedi Civil War. Whether Revan saved or crushed the Republic affects the storyline. KOTOR 2 has eight planets, two of which are from the original KOTOR. Instead of fighting a bunch of Sith soldiers, you fight Sith assassins, and of course, there are a couple of Sith Lords leading the crusade against the Jedi Order: Darth Nihlus, and Darth Sion. This time, your alignment affects your companions. In KOTOR 2, there is an influence system. For example, if you have a Light Side party member with you, and you make a Dark Side decision, you'll lose influence (and vice versa) The more influence you have, the more secrets you can unlock from the party member. You can build a party up to 10 characters. There are some familiar characters that'll join you. Also, you can break down items into components, and with those make new items. You can also break down medical supplies (or grenades) into chemicals, and use a lab station to make new items. As in the last game, you use the Ebon Hawk. You must construct a new light saber, and reconnect to the Force if you are to survive!

Shot Down--Again!

I played this game a long time ago, and I don't have a copy of it anymore. But it was a good game, although it never quite stepped out of the shadow of its great predecessor--often the plot seemed to be more of a meditation upon the events of the first game, rather than a real step forward. It was, however, a much darker game than the original. Sometimes too dark--it often just felt like the developers were just gunning for you, seriously. Also, the characters were generally much less sympathetic than in the first game. I mean, personally, I always felt that no matter what happened to Bastila and Carth (from KOTOR), they were always my buddies, somehow, no matter what they had to work through. But Kreia was just not a nice person, and Atton Rand wasn't much better. But I suppose Visas Marr ("My life for yours") was a decent sort, though somewhat disturbing. But the Handmaiden was alright. She joins your party, but only if you're a boy. I liked her. :D

.....

Boy, it was sure romantic. *rolls eyes*

Let's cut to the chase: 'Jade Empire'.

It was crude, it was sloppy, it was rough-- they didn't finish.

It was like 'Jade Empire'.

It was mediocre.

Franchise label, and ruminating on the storyline-- the life of Revan! the Mandalorian Wars!-- don't change that, nope!

(7/10)
