Why Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 Is Better Than The Original

If you ask a bunch of folks which Star Wars video game is the best, more often than not you'll …

The update just dropped on Steam for PC, Mac, and Linux. It’s a doozy—at least, for a game that’s more than ten years old.

New features include:

• 37 achievements to be earned through gameplay
  
• Steam Cloud saves
  
• Native widescreen resolution support
  
• Resolution support up to 4K and 5K
  
• Support for controllers, including Xbox 360, Xbox One, Playstation 3, and Playstation 4, along with several others (check the system requirements for details)
  
• Steam Workshop support! We proudly worked with the Restored Content Mod Team to have their famous TSLRCM up on launch day
  
• Oh... and we added a “Force Speed Effects” option in the menu ;)
  

For those not in the know, the Restored Content Mod is a years-spanning project that aims to return the game to its proper form—rather than the sloppy, stitched together version that was originally released due to publisher pressure and time constraints. The mod adds a handful of endings and the infamous HK Factory—among many other things—and fixes hundreds of bugs. It’s a must-download, and it’s now easy to access on KOTOR II’s Steam Workshop.

The update comes as a surprise, given that KOTOR II hasn’t been updated in ages. I reached out to Aspyr Media—who handled the update—to find out why this happened now, but as of press time they’d yet to respond. I, however, don’t plan on looking a gift bantha in the mouth, because bantha mouths are gross. Also because KOTOR II is an amazing RPG, and now it’s better than ever. Think you’ll dive back in?

ORIGINAL STORY 21ST JULY: A significant patch has been released for Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 - The Sith Lords on Steam, more than 10 years after the game was released.

It adds Linux and Mac support, courtesy of Aspyr Media, as well as Steam Workshop support, Achievements, controller support, native widescreen resolution support, 5K resolution support and cloud saves.

Most importantly, Steam Workshop support means the revered The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod is available via Steam, now. This mod effectively finishes an unfinished game, in a development sense, restoring all the dormant content found on the game's disc. KOTOR2, developed by Obsidian and not BioWare, was diamond in the rough.

As a bonus, KOTOR2 is 25 per cent off on Steam, priced £5.24.

I'm rather fond of Knights of the Old Republic 2, and its fondness for the greyer areas between the iconic Dark and Light sides of the magical Force. There are some great characters in the game, especially the main baddies.

Zbigniew Staniewicz, a key part of The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod team, apparently knew about this patch and even made some suggestions for it. 'I knew about it for couple of months now,' he told me in an email this afternoon, 'but I wasn't directly involved. I gave some feedback about achievements and our team made some suggestions about things that could be fixed, that we couldn't fix ourselves - Aspyr team had an advantage of working with game's source code. It's a very exciting news for all of us!'

I know Staniewicz because I roped him into recording a special Knights of the Old Republic 2 post-mortem podcast with me in 2013 - him and the Obsidian Entertainment people who made the game, that is. 'Save as' this link for an MP3 download, or stream the recording below.
