That's right boys and girls it's here at last! (http://www.deadlystream.com/showthread.php?t=339)

For those of you that don't know Knight of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords was a game that got pushed out the door long before it was ready. It already had a hard start having to follow up the first KotoR one of the best rpgs ever made and likely the best star wars game we've seen so far. At realise the game was buggy as sin with a confusing plot along with a lot of other problems that dragged it down.

While many people, my self included, did enjoy the game and lorded some innovations like the ability to influences the alignment of your party members it simply was not as good as the first game. What we later found out was that that the game was missing a lot of content. Whole planets had been cut from the game along with a lot of dialogue and scenes that would have made the game make more sense. It came to light that the game was pushed out the door far to early by the publishers and when faced with that prospect the games makers did there best to put a working game together out of the finished content they had.

What they also did was include all the missing content with in the game in the hopes that modders could make use of it. And now they have. This is a project that i've been following for years which has not only finished up and introduced all the cut content but has fixed bugs and added extra little things to the game like more animations.

I personally never thought the mod would see the light of day but it has and it's clearly time for me to reinstall korot2 and give it a spin.

I got it a day or so ago from the Neogaf link. Had a freaking crash almost instantly. Little disturbed.
Will reinstall again.

Links are at the bottom of the first post. For some reason Hotcod's post turned / into %2f (even though the link looks ok when you hover of it)

If they would get the game up on Steam I'd give the mod a shot.

I'd be interested in this but I don't think I have an easy way to play it. I only ever owned a PAL copy of the game on xbox.

No, it isn't. This is a completely new project that started earlier this year and already has a release. Team Gizka is a joke.

I'm very happy to see this. :D

Yea, the timing for this mod was perfect. I played through KOTOR for the first time, then replayed KOTOR 2 with this mod... really awesome.

KOTOR 1 is great... but, i felt more attached to KOTOR 2 characters.. especially Kreia. I decided to stick to the official Star Wars canon and play Light Side Male Revan and Light Side Female Exile.

The restored HK-50 Manufacturing Factory was awesome as well.. although unexpected. I did not really play a lot with HK-47 so i was... under equip for that mission.

I just might finally buy KotoR II now. Or sometime in the nearish future.

Is there any news that KotoR II will be coming to steam? And if it does will this mod even work?

lmao, I just installed my "special" copy and it seems to be working ok. It is REALLY freaking buggy, but I believe I'm having an issue with widescreen. Like....there is no widescreen support. So it crashes a lot.

I tried downloading another mod (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3NNABH57) to deal with the widescreen issues and it looks like it's cleared it up some what, though there is still some graphic drop outs. Then I found that I was having a problem with my dual core processor. So after searching the web, I found that you have to disable one of your cores to get the game to run properly. Jeez, what a headache. The last time I played this game I had a single core processor and a 4:3 screen so I didn't have these problems. Luckily AMD makes a dual core processor optimization program (http://support.amd.com/us/Pages/dynamicDetails.aspx?ListID=c5cd2c08-1432-4756-aafa-4d9dc646342f&ItemID=153) that seems to have cleared everything up for now.

I wish this mod worked with the xbox version. As buggy as that was, it was still playable for the most part.
