The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod
A lot of fans of KOTOR II may remember an attempt by Team Gizka to restore all the stuff that was cut from the retail version of The Sith Lords, like say, half the frelling ending of the game (the voicework was already done, but LucasArts made Obsidian cut it so they could get the game out by holiday season). Well, since they haven't made any substantial progress in more than year and they seem to spending most of their time flaming forumites who ask when it will be done, another team led by Darth Stoney has pursued their own effort to restore everything TG was going to restore (except for some of the GenoHaradan plotline) and some extra stuff TG wasn't going to restore.

Well, Stoney now says the final release will be done at the end of this month. They're also like a week away from an open beta.

Dantooine is vastly improved (the final battle between the mercs and militia is extended), Nar Shaddaa gets a lot of stuff added, the HK Factory is restored, and most of all, all the cut content from the ending on Malachor V gets put back in. And it'll be bug free (mostly).

Yes.

Re: The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod
Will they add a version of M4-78 better than that mod that was released. I hated it, just like pzuzles from other planets all put together. Not to mention shotty dialogue in terms of writing and voicing.

Sure it will.


Relative to vanilla KotOR II: Sith Lords, I'm sure it will be bug-free like VLC compared to RealPlayer. Seriously, have you ever played that thing? :ick:

Considering what I've heard about the planned Gainax-esque ending to Sith Lords, I'm not gonna touch it.

They have like 15 bug testers who are all active, and they're not your usual slow modders - they usually fix bugs within a day of being reported - just read the beta impressions threads.

Look, I played a leaked, buggy version of Team Gizka's restoration of the ending, and I found it to be vastly improved upon the original retail version. It certainly blows away PS:T's ending by a mile.

And I'm not sure what you mean exactly by Ganiax-esque ending. If you mean everybody dies, that only happens if you go dark side. And even retail TSL is far less obtuse about it's plot and ideas than Evangelion ever was. I mean, it's an openly intellectual story with a lot of philosophically oriented dialogue, but after four playthroughs I'm pretty certain there's actually something to Kreia's teachings (which I wrote about in another thread in this forum) and it's not just a bunch of profound-sounding drivel, so I think your fears are unjustified.

They're also working on an M4-78 Enhancement Project, which will alter a lot of the old mod and replace the old voiceovers with better ones.

Re: The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod
Please keep us updated on the basic restoration (don't care about M4-78), I'd love to play a full version of KOTOR II.

I've been really interested in the project for a long time but I've never seen any downloads or indications of progress.

Needless to say this is a big :yes:

Re: The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod
Meh, too late. I've already played through the game about 3-5 times, also with the leaked TSLRP. As nice as it is that someone actually finally creates and releases a proper restoration mod, I probably won't play it anymore simply because I'm already so tired of the same old game with all its engine/interface bugs and quirks. The leaked TSLRP already featured most of the cut content that's worth seeing, AFAICT.

Of course, anyone who hasn't yet played through the game or have done so only once or twice should absolutely give this a try when released.

Re: The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod
Okay, I'm a bit torn between TSLRC and TSLRP.

TSLRC will come out sooner, but have a little less content, as it appears to me. It'll also have some minor bugs and graphical issues. They also promised to continue supporting it after release.

TSLRP will come out later, but it'll have more content. It'll apparently be bug free. They didn't say anything about supporting TSLRP after release though.

Why not both? Play TSLRC when it comes out soon, then TSLRP when you've retired and it has hopefully been released. If it hasn't been released by the time you're starting to die of old age, play the leaked beta.

Um, actually I've looked at the restored list for TSLRCP, and actually I think it restores more than the TSLRP, other than the GenoHaradan stuff which was done a little non-sensically by the TSLRP.

Imagine awakening, and hearing the heartbeat of the galaxy for the first time.
It is like a cloud, a mist that drifts from living creature to creature, set in motion by currents and eddies.
It is the eye of the storm, the passions of all living things turned into energy, into a chorus.
It is the rising swell at the end of life, the promise of new territories and new blood, the call of new mysteries in the dark.
