Sith Holocron

Original review from FileFront "Time flies when you’re having fun and let’s face it. The Knights of the Old Republic games have been around for a good number of years. The original Knights of the Old Republic is about to have its four year anniversary. Can you believe it? The sequel, Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords is about to have its two and half year anniversary. Those numbers seem big, but yet it doesn’t seem that long ago these games were released. Anyway, as time goes on and we keep playing our Knights of the Old Republic games, it tends to get easier and easier to play. We keep playing them because of the good storylines and being a Jedi or a Sith, using Force Powers, and building a lightsaber is just cool. Sometimes we need new challenges when playing our favorite games, wouldn’t you agree? Darth Shan is back with another mod that gives you the options to increase the game difficulty level for both Knights of the Old Republic games. This mod is meant for advanced users. If you’re new to playing these games as some of you are I’ve noticed, I would make sure you’ve learned all the skills you can before trying this mod or you’re going to be very frustrated with it. Hopefully this mod will breathe new life into wanting to play them again for those who are bored of it, but lurk around here seeing what’s new. Well, this is new, so give it a shot. As mentioned in the last paragraph that this is for both Knights of the Old Republic games and there are folders that are labeled which games they belong to, so make sure you install the right files for the right game in order to keep your games functioning properly. Get ready for a new challenge. Enjoy the mod advanced users! Note: Please leave the author feedback, especially if you download this mod and use it. It really helps encourage the author to make more mods in the future. -Shem"

The original review at FileFront for this mod "Darth Shan brings us an update to his Story Mod for SW:KotOR II: TSL. This mod adds a lot of content after you defeat Darth Nihilus, including a few visions, and a whole load of new dialogue. Darth Shan felt that the last version was a little 'messy', and so here is the cleaned-up version. In it, we get enhancements on the previous version - the largest probably being the complete overhaul of the first vision, and the 'clean-up' of the second. Other features included in previous versions are not having to recruit the Disciple if you don't have the Handmaiden, some adjustment to the cutscenes of the Handmaiden's sisters, the ability to sacrifice Visas for nearly any excuse ( ) and the HK-Remote-G0-T0 conversation on Malachor V. The author does warn us of one or two bugs with the mod, however. First of all, attempting to use the Party Selection screen on Malachor V with this mod will make your game crash to the desktop. However, Darth Shan has been unable to find the cause, and suspects it is something coded into the game's .exe file, and advises you to ignore this option if it comes up, and continue with the game. Since you can't use any of your party on Malachor anyway, (aside from the Remote ) there wouldn't be much point in trying to use the party selection screen in any case. Second, Darth Shan has not been able to fix the issue with Carth showing up instead of Admiral Cede around 50% of the time for Dark Side run-throughs. Third, the author has encountered some issues of difficulty balance on Malachor. Neither of these last two should cause crashes or other problems, however. Darth Shan has also decided not to use the TSLPatcher, but has ensured compatibility with the following mods: - The Ultimate Sabre Mod (USM) - Coruscant Jedi Temple - Azgath N'Dul's Tomb - The Dark Apprentice - Droid Factory Reconstructed - (his) Droid Planet Mod. (NOT the M4-78 Enhancement Project) Please note: For reasons of compatibility, if you are to use any of the above mods, with the exception of the Droid Planet Mod, they should be installed before this one. The Droid Planet Mod, however, must be installed after this one for compatibility. -Darth InSidious"
