Revenge of Revan 1.0.1

archangel276 · April 4

I've been waiting like 10 years for this to drop. Really liking the story and the DnD-inspired roleplay features to add to replayability. Can't wait for episode and I'm glad Logan's back to modding K2!

Playing through episode 1 felt incredibly nostalgic, it was as if I opened up an old save on Kotor and experienced a brand new chapter. Here are some of my take away's from the mod:

1. The devs used clever use of reskin's to existing and ported levels. While I do hope to see newer areas in future episodes (i.e. using cut modules from Kotor 1, Sleheyron, or even M4-78 ), the level design in the opening chapter was well executed and enjoyed exploring the content in these areas.

2. I particularly enjoyed the difficulty in the combat. Unlike previous games, it made me utilize consumables rather than continuing to spam Flurry on repeat.

3. Side quests were incredibly done and the inclusion of skill checks was impressive. Love the evolution of this from Kotor 2.

4. I really enjoyed how the story unfolds as it begins with a simple Jedi mission surrounded by intrigue to a more complex narrative. There are a few critiques I have with the writing (particularly the epilogue) but it is a great foundation that had me glued to the PC till I completed.

5. Music felt very much like Star Wars but more subdued. Use of existing tracks also were placed well, hopefully a few of the ambient themes from Kotor 1 can make an appearance in future expansions! Cant wait to hear more of the original tracks as episodes release.

Glad to see you back at the helm @Logan23! Its great to see your work over the years, the passion from you and the team truly does come through in this release.

Feels like a really good step up from the Demo. I liked the changes to the areas on Correllia and the overall story felt more smooth and enjoyable than it was before.

I just got done with my first run and like the others said it's a big step up from the old demo. I made a few notes while I was playing episode 1.

1.While I do miss parts of the old demo soundtrack especially the combat track (though I think I hear parts of it in one of the new ambient tracks) the new music is very good too.

2. It feels like we had more dialogue options in old demo though on the other hand there are more skill check options which I like. I also really like the addition of class dialogue too.

3. It would be nice once they are balance to the dev's team likeing that the species effects are listed somewhere outside the game.

4. I think there should be a side quest or two on Coruscant maybe serving as a quick optional tutorial to new or old players who haven't played in a while

5. The loading screens look great and both Coruscant Jedi Temple and Corellia looks good both in the retextures and imported object density. I especially love the colors of the plants in the Corellia jungle

6. I'm happy that you kept in the choice about the pc homeworld from the old demo however small of a thing it is.

7. I had a bit of a bug with the Exile gender. I picked female and Bao-Dur kept calling the Exile him.

8. I love how many different groups that are part of the story so far.

9. There was some hard fights though nothing that took me more then two tries. I was playing on difficult so I view this as a good thing. Both KOTOR were a bit too easy even on the highest difficulty. I have not tried the new difficulty options yet

10. I love the character models for the main villains

I already explained my thought in a comment cause i couldnt post a review
I have some remarks about it, but overall this project is great.
9/10 for episode 1

Big step up from the demo. Well done. Can't wait for episode 2.

Hey Guys, great work on this! I liked the attention to detail in the dialogue options, the news channels, and the worldbuilding from the NPCs. Love Master Drayden's character too.
For any players who haven't played yet, I found a fun tactic of equipping my melee fighters with poison masks and then having my ranged fighter toss poison grenades in to weaken enemies.

I want to do a couple more playthroughs of this to see all the options play out.

As you probably know, the dialogue needs some line edits for grammar and stuff like that, but I'm sure you'll get to that in future mods. Reach out if there is anything I can do to help you with further testing or feedback. Keep up the good work!

Edit: After writing this review from my Sentinel Non-Canon Playthrough, I did a Consular Canon Play through. I realized I missed the whole cantina section on my first time, I didn't even know it was there.

Around a decade past the original demo, and Revenge of Revan: Episode 1 is here! It was exciting to play this on stream.
But how good is it? Well...

I feel like this mod's original assets are absolutely stellar! The villains look really cool, and having your species actually affect some dialogue options was a good laugh. It's a super awesome mechanical feat that I didn't know was possible in KotOR. (I got called a worm-headed skank! 😨 Made me cackle.) The original music is also shockingly beautiful, I wish I could have them in my own Star Wars vibes playlist! It was that good.
But... I wasn't a fan of how linear this felt. Every area had a bunch of stuff where it felt like "oh clearly I can come back here later" and I never did. Quests didn't even really update to accommodate for that to tell me where I should be going, but I knew where I should be anyway because there were no side areas anywhere. It was impossible to get lost, and for some reason I wasn't a fan of that. It felt a lot more restrictive than Kotor 2, or even Kotor 1.

And that linear-ness wasn't helped very much by the amount of completely reused areas. Every module from Dxun is reused, minus the thunder and rain. There were a couple of neat set pieces that helped, like the end of the Jungle, but for the most part it felt like literally retreading old ground. Many aliens and props were also reused, and I struggle to find a concrete reason why some were there. The Market area of Onderon is the biggest offender, as there's so much stuff packed into that module that it felt really awkward and not very unified. I feel like a lot of the details could have been separated into other modules. Some retextures are desperately needed, I think, along with some of the aliens or creatures to make them fit more into a solid Corellian lore.

There's also a big dialogue gripe that kept ticking me off. I get that you're only supposed to be a Padawan, but more often than not, it felt like you were punished by choosing skill-related options. You would get chided by your two companions for making an observation that they thought was obvious, or just plain wrong. It felt like you were called stupid for USING skills or stats that you put points into, rather than being rewarded with unique dialogue or rewards for it. (And I certainly felt stupid for putting points into any skills, because I never needed any of them.) It also felt like there were way too many options that should have just been a regular answer, rather than something smart or "aware" for you to say. Skill options should be few, but should have some sort of significant impact on the dialogue, like skipping a big chunk of explanation, or actually changing someone's mind. This isn't even mentioning that all of the actually important characters have no audio, something you'd think would be prioritized over some random guard with an AI Tiktok voice.

My main complaint with the mod though is this: What does this story have to do with Revan OR the Exile? I get that this is only Episode 1 and Revan obviously isn't going to be seen now, but all the time I was just thinking "what does any of this have to do with Revan?" NPCs seem to just bring him up for seemingly no reason. Yes he's the Prodigal Knight, yes he conquered the Republic, yes nobody knows where he is, yes he should atone for some crimes, but Revan has nothing to do with these new Sith or the politics of Corellia, and we know this. Any mention of him just feels really artificial, and the Exile is treated even worse. The Exile is such an afterthought that Bao-Dur has to think about who you're talking about when you ask. And the weird part is, it would make more sense if it was ONLY the Exile's companions that knew of the Exile, and continued their legacy. If nobody else knew about the Exile, it'd be far more interesting if someone like Bao-Dur was the one to tell you about this person like they're this mythical deity of the Force, someone who learned to live without it, and came back to impart knowledge that would forever change the Force. It's just odd to see, especially since this mod is based on KotOR 2, the only game that has the Exile, and the game that characterized Revan way beyond the barebones depiction in the first game.

I'll probably still play the next episode, but like... it just felt like nothing I did mattered. There was always a specific way to play, and a specific way my character was treated. It was a little frustrating.
5/10.
