Kotor2 must have mods

[Chilloutman]

Hello fellas,

 

I know there is Kotor forum down below but seems quite dead now, if moderators decide feel free to move it there.

 

I would like to ask you what mods do you suggest to run with Kotor 2. I would like only mods that fix missing/cut out content and/or are relly good to not have.

 

Thanks

[Rosbjerg]

The only one you really need is the restored content mod.

[Chilloutman]

cool, I already looked on that in kotor thread, if that is all I need feel free to close that, thanks Rosbjerg

[Raithe]

Does the Restored Content Mod come with the Resolution patcher as part of it? I can't remember off-hand. You might want to dig that up separately to make sure.

[Chilloutman]

any hints on what not to miss, eg some esential skill that provide me super item i cant use without? I was thinking about sentinel character. I already complete game once long time ago as guardian so I want something different.

[Rosbjerg]

Sentinel will net you almost all of the speech and skill requirements outside of demolition etc I think. So that's pretty safe completionist approach, but doing a negative influence playthrough can be very interesting too..

 

And what not to miss? hmm, no - I'll no only say, play as you please and stick to your character even if the game "punishes" you (it doesn't).. It makes for a better game.

 

In short 1 play through will not give you all content, you need at least 2-3 for that.

[Agiel]

Force Lightning all the way. Once you get to the second planet after Telos the Force point penalties for using a Dark Side power as a Light Side player (and vice versa) cease to matter. Though I guess that's my "munchkin" way of playing.

 

However, there are some pure melee-related quests that may prove very difficult to finish if you are not invested at least somewhat in your Constitution and actual fighting stats.

One essential is to speak a certain line to HK-47 early on, otherwise you will miss out on some great content.

 

Some quest walkthroughs are obviously obsolete, so don't stress if you speak to X and he doesn't do Y. He was never meant to. Someone else will do Y and also give you Z (sometimes google doesn't help - you'll need to stay alert).

 

Some dialog trees are also different, so if you want to hear new stuff, don't follow all the 'max influence' maps too slavishly.

Have you already done one playthrough of KOTOR2?

yep, as guardian, dual wielding was quite op and I remember that consitution was good for best implants, but not much left in me, i am thinking about single blade sentinel now, just killed HK unit one peragus and heading to that republic ship

Thanks, hints are welcomed, even tho this one is not particulary clear

well I remember that I was unnable to switch any companion into Jedi, I hate how you can miss some dialogues if you dont carry them around, especialy if I dont know where these pop up for each of them

As I recall, if you're dark side from early on when you hit Nar Shaddaa, you end up with Hanharr as a companion instead of Mira.

So if you want to turn Mira into a dark side force user, you need to be fairly benign during that initial stage.

[Rosbjerg]

Also, companions will have the opposite alignment of you, if you have low influence with them.

 

Here's a good guide on the forum. If you want to be a bit gamey you can go for turning all of them, by switching them in and out of situations and then keeping them on the ship until you have found/reached the jedi activation point.

 

I had a good playthrough where I turned all of my companions. I kept them around lvl 8-10 (depending on various bonuses etc) in their starter classes in order to get more Jedi ones. They were all very powerful in the end and blasted through their solo bits no problems.

 

Be adviced though that the Exhange/Mira section will be a pain in the *** with this approach,

[HoonDing]

Mira's actually better off if you keep her as scout. Or just turn her after you maxed all her skills.

Just check the add-ons section on Moddb (or downloads on deadlystream) for whatever floats your boat

 

Over there pretty much everything works with TSLRCM.

Yeah, if you try to completionist this, you'll go insane. You will always be missing stuff. Anyway, the game is so eay that any build is feasible, so I'd say just do what you want and don't worry too much about stats. My last playthrough was a gunslinging Guardian/Weapon Master. :D

 

Rosj - What do you get if you take a negative influence playthrough? I never tried it. I didn't realize you got different content from it.

I'd honestly advise against the Droid Planet. The mod is impressively done and much props to the creators, but the actual content is awful - I feel the experience is better without it.

[Rosbjerg]

I the NPCs lie to you though if you have negative influence, I don't really remember it that well (only did one play through as evil and negative inf.)

 

but I know you can turn certain NPCs into jedi's with negative influence (like Bao-Dur), so playing evil doesn't mean you won't be able to do that. You kinda bully him if I remember right, instead of convincing him. I do remember that extreme negative or positive influence opens up dialouges, where you for instance bully/annoy instead of trust/convince etc, but the exact content .. not so much

[Blarghagh]

That's so cool - I had no idea. Thanks a million, time to take a whole new approach to my next playthrough.

Cringey voice acting and some weird glitches, I know, but still. 

 

 

What face is that?

 

I also just found out this existed.

Question - double bladed saber is affected by dual-wield or dueling feats?

[Blarghagh]

Dual-wield.

[Chilloutman]

hmm now I am torn, go with single blade or 2 blades? as sentinel I will probably not have those cool feats as weaponmaster for dual wield. Do I get bonus to single blade at least?
