TUHD Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Just made me wonder - with Vista I had written off KOTOR 1 due to the enormous amounts of bugs, but a few weeks back I saw KOTOR 1 got released on Steam. I know that KOTOR 1 was an Bioware/LucasArts-game, but since (if the stories I heard are true) KOTOR II also got a lot of input from Bioware, made me wonder if KOTOR II would also be released at some point by LucasArts and/or Obsidian. Can someone please shed some light on it - or shed it in eternal darkness - whatever you prefer? With regards, The Undead Half-Dragon of NWN 2 Sith Master of KOTOR 2 Bred and raised in Darkness 'The righteous shall fall before the wicked' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihilus5078 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I would never play KotOR online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanschu Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I would never play KotOR online. What does that have to do with buying the game through Steam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witness Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 The problem with purchasing Kotor off Steam or D2D, is there is no CD key. You must register it with the UPC code provided on the box. Unfortunately, Steam and D2D only provide CD keys, not UPC codes. You can see how this might be a problem if you don't have the box. There are several threads on the Bioware forums complaining of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadly_Nightshade Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 If it were on Steam and I lost my copy - yes, I might buy it. However, if it were on Good Old Games I would buy it even if I had not lost my copy - quid est demonstrandum I prefer GoG to Steam. "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofsquid Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Well, Witness, beat me to it. :D You on the B-Ware forums? And would Kotor II on Steam be cheap? Price is the main object for me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and if you do not have a game registered, your avatar does not show. Not like I care, but I like my HK-47 avatar to be displayed prominently. Crappy thing about Bioware, no custom avatars.

alanschu Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 That sucks sure, but ultimately has very little bearing as to weather or not you can play the game. I'm not surprised that BioWare had a lack of foresight with respect to digital downloads of KOTOR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
