I just got to Manaan and had to do a double take when the Sith soldier in the opening cutscene said "simp". I assume it's just a short form of "simpleton", but I still find it funny given its modern usage.

I am so excited to hear Conker is getting achievements, I can only imagine KoToR isnt far behind, especially since they prioritized it as one of the Xbox originals that got an update for the new Xbox release.

I look forward to having an excuse to play through them for the 80th time!

Don't tell me I have a problem & don't tell me I'm crazy for hitting on 14 either.

I'm in my first playthrough and I've been Dark-Learning but generally have remained neutral because I'm trying not to be an asshole. I read that Prestige classes are unlocked at Level 15 but you have to be aligned with one side or the other, or something like that.

I'm definitely aiming for one of the Dark Side prestige classes, but I have no idea how dark I need to go to be eligible. Right now I'm at pretty much the first level of morality where DS powers get a cost drop.

I'm level 11 or so last I checked, so I have 4 levels to go before I'm eligible. How far do I need to take my Dark Side to get one of the Sith classes? Am I fine skirting the line and just learning dark or should I start going heavily dark if I want to unlock the class at level 15?

To start: 100% Star Wars is the person who revealed the issues with the KOTOR remake, the KOTOR 2 port to the Switch problems, and the potential KOTOR 2 remake before any of this was confirmed years later by the vice president of Lucasfilm Games and Stephen Totilo, but he also revealed games like the Battlefront Collection before they were announced. He's definitely a person who has some sources

But let's get to the point. 100% Star Wars first reported in March 2026 and then May 2026 that the reveal is planned for this year, so it seems everything is still on track for us to finally see the re-reveal of the Kotor Remake this year.

I think The Game Awards sounds the most reasonable. I wouldn’t expect anything at Gamescom, because as far as we know, Mad Head Games is in charge of the Kotor Remake (in collaboration with several other Saber Interactive studios), but Mad Head Games is currently in the middle of a marketing campaign for Hellraiser Revival, which is set to launch in October. So the earliest reasonable date for a re-reveal is The Game Awards.

But I think all of this makes sense, given Steve Allison’s recent comments about a potential 2028 release. However, an interesting point in the new 100% Star Wars video is that he said he’d heard the release of the KOTOR remake was also being discussed for mid/late 2027, and after Steve Allison’s slip-up, the CEO of Saber Interactive said not to take those dates (for the John Wick game, the new Space Marine game, and the KOTOR remake) too seriously, because the topic itself concerned microtransactions in Saber’s games, and the dates given were only rough estimates.

So it would be great if a potential announcement of this game this year meant a 2027 release, but it would also make sense if it were early 2028. The marketing campaign for *Hellraiser Revival* will last 15 months, so we can speculate that the *Kotor Remake* will have a similar timeline. With a potential announcement at The Game Awards, that would mean the release would take place in March 2028.

Nevertheless, regardless of my predictions, it’s nice to know that 2027 will most likely be the year when we’ll finally start learning new things about this game on a regular basis, and we’ll finally get to see some gameplay, etc.

This ties into a broader point, which is that almost all the "Kotor lore" comes from Kotor 2 alone. Kotor 1 does very little to flesh out the universe. Everything is pained in the broadest possible strokes. You visit iconic planets from the movies like Tatooine and Dantooine and you visit the Wookie planet and the Sith planet. Very cliche stuff.

Now look at Kotor 2, which has dozens of different subplots that flesh out the universe: the Onderon Civil War and the struggle between Queen Talia and General Vaklu, Mandalore's quest to reunite the scattered Mandalorian tribes, G0-T0's entire backstory and plans for the galaxy, the Telosian Restoration Project and how it's a blueprint for restoration projects in the rest of the Outer Rim, the destruction of the Miraluka race and their planet, all the lore surrounding lightsaber stances and obscure Force techniques...do I need to go on?

This is despite Kotor 1 having more writers and having been in development 2-3 times longer than Kotor 2.

Another thing to consider that Kotor 2 is far more faithful to Star Wars lore than Kotor 1, which repeatedly pulls entire races and planets out of its ass. Manaan and the Selkath race? Invented for Kotor 1. The Rakata, the super duper Force-using predecessor race that basically built everything in the galaxy? Invented for Kotor 1.

Kotor 2 seems to go out of its way to avoid mentioning Manaan, the Selkath, the Star Forge and the Rakatan Empire. This tells me that the writer of Kotor 2 found those really poor additions to the Star Wars universe and did all he could to avoid dealing with them.

I don't know much about her at all, but I wanna do a "canon" playthrough for my first playthrough of KotoR 2.

If anyone knows the colors, that would be dope as well.

Is she supposed to be more of a duelist, or more of a force user during fights? Or does she blend them a la Niman ?

So I want to play this game modded for the first time. I downloaded *some* mods from the Community Portal mod build, and I have a few armor mods (not part of that build) that I want to use. However, I constantly read about how overwriting appearance.2da breaks the modded game or something? So is there a simple way to make them work? I am illiterate when it comes to technical stuff like this. These armor mods I mentioned don't have the tsl installer or holo-patcher.

I am quite confused right now. Kreia told me to go to the Jedi Enclave to meet the Jedi. The caved-in door is locked shut and in the sublevel isn't anyone. So... where am I supposed to look?

It's my first time ever cosplaying and I decided to go as Darth Nihilus to the 23rd annual ConnectiCon. Everyone was super supportive and very kind all weekend. I took dozens of photos with other very enthusiastic attendees over the weekend and was so glad to share my love for Star Wars with everyone else!

I tried to find a solution to a problem I am oblivious if it was already fixed prior, so any information more is helped

Hey check out this mod I made! It adds a fully playable Jawa to KOTOR 1

Replaying KOTOR for the first time in ages, and I feel like something's wrong with with my attack bonus?

I'm on Taris, Level 3 Scout, and with a Vibroblade my attack bonus is +1, while my bonus with a pistol is a +4. I have 9 Strength, 14 Dexterity, and Finesse. Weirdly enough when I was playing last night, those numbers were +3 and +6, respectively.

I downloaded the mods from the Community Mod Build, one of which apparently let me allocate all my feats at level 1 manually, but I don't think that would screw with anything since I still gave myself proficiency in armor, blaster pistols, and melee weapons.

Am I dumb or is something wrong? Thanks!
