I personally think of the dark side ending of KOTOR I to be canon. It works the best thematically both for that game and for leading into KOTOR II. I'm somewhat bothered by the unfortunate implication that the Jedi Order was ultimately totally vindicated and justified by memory wiping Revan in the end with no real drawbacks for something that I frankly find even more abhorrent than just execution. The Jedi Order's flaws and incompetence should be better portrayed in the first game since it's such a major plot point both in how the Mandalorian Wars were handled and then the over all plot of KOTOR II. To me it makes sense that wiping Revan's memory only managed to put a superficial bandaid on the issue and actually ended up making the problem worse. Revan was a pragmatist using the dark side for his own agendas. You can argue he was being subtly influenced and sliding down a negative path but everything seems to more or less imply he had a handle on the dark side. By wiping his memory you've essentially taken someone filled to bursting with the dark side and removed that mental willpower safe-check. The protagonist starts as more or less a blank slate but as their power grows that dark side corruption within Revan festers and while the protagonist may have been conditioned to try and adhere to the light side they've lost that strong mental fortitude that Revan once had (at least until the memories begin to return, more on that later) causing him to struggle with his morality. I think growing frustration with the limits of the Jedi code, his real underlying personality returning, and the final nail in the coffin being the reveal of what the Jedi did to him causes him to free fall to the dark side way worse than he ever did to begin with. He turns his back on the Jedi violently and accepts Bastila's offer to retake his mantle as Dark Lord not even really understanding what that means yet. He essentially just larps as the "Darth Revan" he's heard about as a knee jerk reaction to the revelation of what the Jedi did to him. However that doesn't last. As his memories begin to return he starts to become more of his old self. He sort of balances out back towards the pragmatic middle he had before the memory wipe. He realizes the true purpose of his mission against the true Sith. This causes him to abandon the petty empire building that was always just a cover for something far greater. This would explain why both the Republic and Sith are so fractured and decayed by KOTOR II. The Republic essentially lost in KOTOR I but the Sith had their power structure decimated and then their new figurehead abandon the entire project creating a massive power vacuum. Jolee and Juhani play no role because they were killed on Lehon. The Jedi mind wiping Revan ultimately serves as another example of their ivory tower and meandering problem solving resulting in an even larger disaster. They essentially made the problem horribly worse by taking Revan turning him from a highly competent and focused man into a confused amnesiac barely containing that dark side corruption until learning about what the Jedi did. Which sends him over the edge and turns him into the evil Darth Revan they believed him to be, at least for a time.

I don't know if I've ever heard of Valve taking down content on the Steam Workshop for being pilfered from someone else like Nexus does. The Workshop really does just seem like an unregulated cesspit sometimes.

I took an extremely strong disliking to him ever since I first played the game and honestly it's just kind of stuck through the years. I don't like his attitude, his forcing himself into your party, and constantly threatening you into doing what he wants. It doesn't help he's extremely rude to characters I actually really like so it's just the combination of terrible attitude, boring design, and being utterly useless compared to the other droid companions.

This is getting extremely pathetic, I can't imagine the level of delusion it would take for anyone to genuinely think this would result in anything but looking even worse.

After seeing them make a post saying "oh well we actually have this other game we've secretly been developing this whole time stay tuned for that teehee" it's looking like this was basically just a big marketing ploy to garner attention that they had no serious intention of releasing so I can't say I feel as bad for them as I did.

I knew that it was going to end this way and never had much excitement for it but it is a little sad to see people's work go to waste even if it was going to be a disaster at best imo.

Ah an absolute lifesaver man that worked. Playing around with the " K_SWG_BASTILA" also seems to enable me to still have all the conversations with Bastila instead of skipping to the final one. Gonna test to see if it will still naturally progress or if I have to manually up the integer in the save editor each time but either way this is a huge improvement over setting the clock back a few days worth of playtime or just going on without it. Big thanks to you and JCarter426. EDIT: Yup I checked and everything works fine. I followed the same steps as JCarter's guide except instead of setting "K_SWG_BASTILA" to 10 I set it to where I had last left off speaking to her (6 in my case) and I could progress down the conversations as normal.

So basically despite me having played this game multiple times over the years for the first time I managed to lock myself out of the Bastila romance by ending things negatively with her mother. I went along as usual not really paying attention to the fact she was completely silent towards me afterwards until I got done with my third star map. Realizing I was about to lose her and I hadn't completed her little dialog tree I ended up finding out I've totally boned myself because of a choice I made back on Tatooine. I've tried using the save game editor to change how the Bastila's mother quest ended, to remove and restart it and none of it worked but I could be doing something wrong I'm not very experieced with it outside of adjusting dark/lightside alignment. I know theres like a one in a trillion chance I'm gonna find an answer that doesn't involve me going back to a 10 hour old (and two cleared out planets yaaay!) save but I gotta ask.

Very nice work. I've always wanted an "inbetween" look between the default Robes and the full hood up look.

Hey, any word on whether or not this mod is still being made? Everything looks great so far and it'd be a shame to see it all go to waste but real life does have a way of creeping up on all of us...
