These look really good. A must have.

Never had any bugs with these, they work as advertised. Pain is simple, but reliable. Good emergency button. Betrayal is a fun gimmick, but suffers from the same issue as Force Confusion: brainwashed enemies just stand there once the others are dead and you have to wait for the 'spell' to wear off before finishing them. The suicide and insanity effects are a very nice touch though. Hunger is perfect. Sith Lord is now worth it for that alone. It's not overpowered, but it is definitely as cool as it sounds. UNLIMITED POWER!!!

Terrifying, no notes. Never been happier to be one-shot out of nowhere.

I beat the mod. Or at least whats on the planet itself. That was great. Not perfect, but great which is pretty dang close. I seriously haven't had this much fun with a Kotor mod since I was a little kid playing BOSSR or the old Yavin 4 mod when those mods first came out. This was a blast from the past. And the writing was way better than I expected. Well, It would take me a looooong time to explain what I loved most about this mod, so I'll just focus this review on the few things I think could benefit from some improvement. -consider populating Sleheyron with various types of citizens even with the Iridonians walking around from start to finish. It feels weird without them, regardless of story. -make the one-text dialogue with characters like Sith and Iridonians not transition into full dialogue sequences, but just react like other simple NPCs with a text bubble only -Having a lot of areas look just like Taris again, even if it wasn't the exact same module, was still slightly immersion breaking. Please consider reskinning these areas in any way you like, just make it different. You already did this half the time with these modules and it worked well. -this might just be me, I'm not sure, but Rudos shop module is completely broken. The walls and floor are missing. I am running a clean install of the game, outside a resolution mod and some icon texture mods. I even reinstalled the resolution several times to see if that made a difference, the room is still bugged. If this is just me, I'm at a loss as to what could be the cause of this. -Some enemies give way too little experience for what they're worth. The (very neat) reference to the special NPC you fight in the Czerka lab is worth like 30XP which is a joke considering how tough he is. -Try to see if you can make a custom Sleheyron-themed door for all these modules. Having the doors not fully cover the entry/exit just feels kinda odd -Although I think the splicing of modules was really cool to see, it sometimes leaves holes in level geometry. Some weren't so noticable, others glaringly bad. -My biggest gripe with the mod, A few of the modules have absolutely terrible level transition boxes. I think it would be best to just edit the module so that you add an extra hallway that connects to these transition areas instead. This was most noticable in the Czerka lab area. This was frustrating and confusing at times. I'd give it 4.9/5 if possible but we don't have that so I'll settle with 5/5 Oh and what you did with Vanasseus, you're insane man lmao that was too funny

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.

I just finished KOTOR for the first time and installed this mod through the KOTOR Neocities mod build. As it had like 100 mods, I did not really pay attention to what I actually was installing. Anyway, the first thing I did after beating the game was to find information online about I couldn't find anything. In fact, it was hard to find any information about the ship at all. And that's when I found out I had been playing a mod quest the entire time. That's how well attached this quest is to the main game. 😁

To put it simply, this mod is a mess. It's clear that a lot of time went into it, but at a point, we have to stop asking 'is it impressive that someone spent time on this' and start asking 'is this any good?'. The writing is poor, spelling errors are still present in key moments, it falls into the kind of AO3 cliche of an unseen, never mentioned character becoming suddenly important, and through its insistence on introducing new characters, lore, and plot points at every turn, it fails to stick the landing, plot-wise. Let's put it this way, before the final fight, there is a conversation where you are only just finding out about the Brotherhood of Shadow's motives, powers, and background, as the titular plot had fell to the wayside, necessitating a lore dump. The battles are some of the worst in KOTOR, too. At multiple moments you are stripped of your gear and are forced to fight bosses tougher than Malak. A particular lowlight is the final boss, a multi-stage fight where the boss summons additional enemies that get tougher each time, culminating in a fight between you and the final boss accompanied by your full party. And the boss can stun you as Bastila, Juhani, and all your friends annihilate your health bar. The voice acting is poorly performed, poorly mixed, and the characters feel out of place in KOTOR, overusing fake swears ('I don't give a fried gizka') and real-world colloquialisms. It's a shame, as this mod clearly has a reputation for the effort went in, and for the admittedly fun parts. It's worth a try using the save that comes with it, however I would never recommend you include this in a normal playthrough due to how much it destroys the pacing of KOTOR. The effort put in could have been better spent focusing on one element of the story (be that Revan, Shadow, Solomon, or the Brotherhood of Shadow) and creating a tight two hour side-campaign, rather than a 6 hour slog that tries to fit every element in at once. If you're planning on a modded full KOTOR playthrough, focus on gameplay fixes and restored content rather than this.
