I also had to figure out that screenshots in Steam are F12. I did have to break myself of a few habits from playing The Old Republic MMO: I tried to jump by using the space bar, but that key actually pauses the game in KOTOR! Also, I tried to use Tab to shift between targets in combat, as you would in TOR, but in KOTOR that actually shifts between player characters in your party. (I’m going to mostly take the recommended talents as I level up, especially for the companions, but I might personalize a little bit with the feats and especially the Force powers.)Īs I played the prologue on the Ebon Hawk, I was surprised by how good the keyboard controls were and how easy it is to move around and select things–I didn’t even have a mouse and it was not a problem. I took the recommended attributes and skills and went through the random names until I found one I liked: Tyria Drace. I chose a female Guardian as my character although I tend to like playing Force users better, I typically find it easier to play a melee fighter when I am not as familiar with the game. This first edition will take us through character creation, the prologue, and starting Peragus. There will be a few minor spoilers, but I’ll try to avoid any major ones (for either KOTOR game). If you’d like to come along for the ride, I’ll be doing periodic posts on my progress as I play through.
So having re-acquired the game a while back during a Steam sale, and with the Restored Content mods in place, I’m going to give KOTOR II a second chance. To be fair, the game was notoriously rushed to get it out on console for the 2004 Christmas season, and since then some enterprising individuals have provided mods that add back in cut content, fix bugs, etc. I’m pretty sure I immediately called my husband and ranted about it.īut I have heard that some people (I have never actually met any of these people) actually like KOTOR II better than the first game. It was so terrible it basically resulted in a huge giant rage quit from me. Despite a few bugs here and there, I had mostly enjoyed the game up until then. Ok, so maybe I just felt like throwing things. When I reached the end of the game, I threw my computer across the room.
Naturally after that I was ecstatic to get my hands on KOTOR II: The Sith Lords, which came out for PC 10 years ago this month.
I’ve played the game at least half a dozen times, totalling hundreds of hours, with all different classes/alignments/etc.
I may have mentioned once or twice that I am a Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) fanatic.
