Bao-Dur's Sacrifice 1.0.0

A Mod for Star Wars Knights of The Old Republic II
Author: N-DReW25
1.0.0 Release Date: 05.10.2025

Installation:

It is strongly advised that you install the Bao-Dur's Departure mod beforehand.

Simply click on the HoloPatcher.exe, click install, and sit back and watch the HoloPatcher do its magic.

Description:
This mod is an unofficial addon for the mod Bao-Dur's Departure by WildKarrde. In the Bao-Dur's Departure mod, Bao-Dur goes with HK-47 down to the Telos Underground Facility but instead of sacrificing himself so that HK-47 can deal with the Factory Bao-Dur instead stays inside the Telos Underground Facility and spends his time preparing the Remote for the mission to re-activate the Mass Shadow Generator.

That mod ends just before travelling to Malachor V where you can see Bao-Dur observing the Ebon Hawk just before the Exile leaves Telos before going to Malachor, thus confirming that he survived the events of Kotor II.

This mod, however, is a very basic mod which restores the line "make my sacrifice matter". In this mod, once the Remote has re-activated the Mass Shadow Generator the hologram of Bao-Dur will conclude with the line "make my sacrifice matter". The idea is that the line has been recontextualized from 'Bao-Dur dies in a heroic sacrifice' to 'Bao-Dur's first detonation of the Mass Shadow Generator was the sacrifice' and that the Remote re-activating it to defeat the Sith is what makes the sacrifice ultimately matter.

I have discussed this privately with other modders and some of them did disagree with my reinterpretation, the sacrifice in this new context could refer to the sacrifice of countless Republic Soldiers and Jedi during the first activation of the Mass Shadow Generator, the sacrifice referring to Bao-Dur metaphorically as in his PTSD and/or guilt he got after that battle etc.

Either way, unless someone makes a 'real' Bao-Dur's sacrifice where he actually dies onscreen this mod is the best we have to offer which restores the line.

The original line was infamous for having music playing through it, the line in this mod is the original that was edited with AI to remove that music and it has an audio filter through it so that it fits in with the other hologram lines.
