While exploring the hidden Mandalorian base, I turned around to a wide view of the area I had just checked.

#KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC BROKEN SOULS MOD#

To start with, I had some awful glitch with the fog or shadows: ItвЂ™s some kind of lighting or texture bug, but still ugly as sin with the way the ship pops out like a prop on an unfinished GarryвЂ™s Mod mapД«ut even in screenshots from other players who didnвЂ™t experience the glitch, the whole zone feels so empty. I donвЂ™t much mind bad graphics but I have to make an exception here for just one of Kotor 2вЂ™s planets: the jungle moon of Dxun stands out as the single ugliest level I have played in any video game newer than sayвЂ¦ 2000. The game just doesnвЂ™t run well with my modern system)

* (Just a quick note on bugs because everyone will experience them differently: on my Windows 10 PC, dialogues skipped, cutscenes broke, graphics exploded, characters fell out of the map, voice lines didnвЂ™t play, framerates collapsed and I crashed over and over again across my 65 hours and 1.5 playthroughs.

I donвЂ™t really have an argument here beyond a series of impressions on vague categories including level design, gameplay, characters, dialogue and narrative, role-playing features, and the so-called вЂњphilosophy.вЂќ Spoilers abound, but whatever, the game lacks a big twist like the original and itвЂ™s been 15 years anyway, so who cares. I only care about the game Kotor 2 is now, and even with support from post-release patches and fan-fixes via the Restored Content Mod, itвЂ™s still justвЂ¦ not much fun. The publisher (Lucas Arts) pushed the developer (Obsidian Entertainment) into an early release, forcing the devs to scrap much of the work-in-progress content and rush out the remainder without much time to polish or address bugs.* But let me make this clear: I do not care about the game Kotor 2 could have been if it had completed its original production schedule. ItвЂ™s awful or, at the very least, it does not hold up 15 years later.ДЇirst though, I suppose that I should address the elephant in the room early: Kotor 2 seems incomplete because it is. But the game still feels like such an incomplete, disjointed experience that I canвЂ™t recommend it to anyone. It has a solid enough narrative outline (but as I will explain, the actual narrative sputters) and I restored much of the content the developers cut to meet publishing deadlines with this mod. I canвЂ™t find a single serious negative review for it - even though itвЂ™s a buggy, broken, imbalanced mess that suffers from obvious development limitations. I try to avoid calling anything overrated, but the praise I see for Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords ( Kotor 2) just baffles me.

And then deep beneath the surface, you can feel the pain of the unfinished productвЂ¦ But to clear eyes itвЂ™s damaged by a severe lack of polish and glitchy, confusing details. IвЂ™m always looking for visual metaphors and here it is courtesy of a common motion-blur graphics bug: if you squint, Kotor 2 looks pretty good as a low-resolution outline.
