There are refugees who have been displaced because of the war and are being threatened by criminals from The Exchange. There’s no one clear answer to the questions you have and each decision you make can be justified in some manner.īy playing as the Exile, the spotlight is taken off of Revan and is placed on the people who suffered at the hands of the Jedi and Sith. As you piece information together, the lines between what the Jedi consider good and evil begin to blur. When you play as the Exile, you are relying on the accounts of others about the Jedi Civil War and what happened to Revan. Revan was built up as a legend and, depending on how you talked about Revan, they were someone who fell to the dark side and redeemed themselves to take the Republic back from the clutches of Darth Malak. I think that is why KOTOR 2 is such a great game. But Revan’s story ended in KOTOR and their legacy became rumors and dust in the wind. We would finally be reunited with the character we had created, along with the original companions, and finish what they sought out to do. The unspoken promise of an ending to Revan’s story. Perhaps that’s where the negativity stemmed from. It was a great follow-up that I had assumed would lead us to KOTOR 3 but, of course, the third game never came. I was still riding the high of experiencing the big twist at the end of KOTOR and I wanted more. Here’s the thing: I really enjoyed my first playthrough of KOTOR 2 when it came out. Now that KOTOR 2 has been re-released as backward compatible on Xbox One, I had the chance to replay it and see if the story holds up 14 years later. Since Obsidian Entertainment took over development while BioWare was working on other titles, a lot of the blame was placed on Obsidian for the “lackluster” storyline and motionless characters throughout the game. There was disappointment that the story didn’t continue Revan’s journey and the lackluster ending after such a big buildup. You play the exile, who gathers companions along their journey to find the remainder of the Jedi after Revan disappeared and figure out what new danger is threatening the galaxy.Īfter it’s release, KOTOR 2 had some mixed reviews. Five years after Malak’s defeat, it follows the journey of a Jedi Exile who once followed Revan into battle against the Mandalorians before the Jedi Civil War.
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords (KOTOR 2) was released as a sequel to the original Knights of the Old Republic game in 2004 for the original Xbox.
