There's a lot in here you'd expect from a Kotor total conversion mod. Very happy with what you guys have put out. It basically feels like this was made for me. Specific items I liked: Green dialogue + Corellian flags (small thing, but visually appealing) News holos (In ideas I've had for a TC mod, I have considered doing exactly this same thing in the same way) Togruta in the main menu (I have experimented with porting Togruta heads from SWTOR) Dialogue barks in the Corellian merchant square (Whoever was in charge of this did a seriously fantastic job) The first cutscene! Ronto quest Animations in dialogue The voice of a certain Duros Canon and Non-Canon options (ignoring the Revan novel but leaving things open for the possibility of SWTOR is exactly how I would do a K2 TC) Overall positives: It WORKS. Area transitions. Containers. NPCs. Objects. Just about everything that allows interaction actually responds. The reskins, module editing, and in particular the prop placement are done very well. Everything is cohesive. It doesn't feel scattered, disjointed, mismatched, etc. (In particular it appears the Iziz sky ramp models were removed from re-used Iziz modules, which if I saw correctly is a good example of what I'm talking about. The King's chamber, with all its props/objects, looks distinctly different from Talia's palace, too.) The concept of the story and the writing. Padawan assisting in an investigation. The lore of KOTOR era sources is taken into account and obviously appreciated in a way that it wasn't in SWTOR (Mentioning Tol Cressa, the situation in the Gordian Reach, the situation on Duro, the Exar Kun war, the aftermath of the JCW, etc.) Species-specific stats and dialogue Stat-relevant dialogue options Functioning quests Gripes (not particularly important, observations you may or may not take into account): Dialogue could use another couple passes to correct spelling mistakes, but also to tighten it up. Some lines could be improved simply by removing a word or two. Once in a while, characters will just talk a little too long. This isn't to say the dialogue overall is poor, but that it is in a decent state and could be made excellent. Bao-Dur, Quan Drayen, and Nessa at Esbek in particular Bao-Dur is pretty close to sounding right. There's a handful of things that felt like they were phrased out of character. Sometimes it feels like Quan Drayen is hitting me over the head and telling me I'm playing a video game. "A companion, if you will" (This one was amusing, but I think the rest of the things he said like this were not) Nessa repeatedly says "hubby" and it rips me right out of the experience. I get what kind of character she's supposed to be. It still seems out of place. Speaking of husbands, there is a woman in the cantina who refers to her "partner", and in the context of a lot of these characters being involved with the CEC, it is confusing if she means business partner or husband at first. Cut back on "Agrilat" just as an example. I think the husband in Esbek says something about his work "sinking in the Agrilat swamps". Drop the Agrilat. It's cleaner. Are the re-used Iziz modules supposed to take place in Coronet? I recall an area transition for "Corellian Merchant Square", which feels vague. It took me probably 10 to 15 minutes of running around to figure out there was an area trigger for the damaged speeder out in the swamps. The journal did mention the speeder, so I was able to figure it out eventually, but it wasn't clear to me the speeder was blocking the specific path I was supposed to go down. I thought at first maybe the mod was broken and I was supposed to enter a non-interactable door I had found. The PC interjecting about Revan in the King's chamber felt very forced. There seems to be no reason for the PC to think that, especially considering the way Drayen chides the PC for not paying attention to their studies. I have to talk to the bouncer to enter the cantina on Corellia, which triggers the same dialogue every time from Drayen about my decision-making. Anyway, I'm familiar with how much work this all is. I've played with Holocron Toolset, KLE, KBlender, K-GFF, etc. I only bring up gripes to possibly help hone the final product. I'm really impressed, really enjoyed playing. I've said before I have been following since I was a kid lurking on LucasForums, so it's really great to finally see this release. Thanks so much for sharing with us and keep up the great work!

This is exactly what I've been needing all night. Really great work. Thank you, JC
