Destruction of Citadel Station Discussion

[N-DReW25 1,337]

I do not know where this thread should be put so if the Mod Requests section isn't ideal for this sort of thing an Admin may move it to where it'd be appropriate. 

In the game files we already know the Ravager, should you fail to place the last proton core, would crash into the Citadel Station. This hasn't been restored as it'd need custom content for it'd to work properly. In this thread, I'd like to discuss with how this could be restored. 

 

Here is how I think it could be restored: Citadel Station is destroyed so the cutscenes on the Citadel Station, especially the cutscene where Carth mentions he "was around to save Telos this time around", couldn't happen. Perhaps after the Citadel Station explodes the Mandalorian Shuttle goes back to the Dxun Camp landing in the middle of the Battle Circle. The Exile, Mandalore and Visas would be locked in the party and would have the option of walking around and talking with the Mandalorians but as they'd have no new dialogue perhaps remove the main ones like Kex and just add Generic patrols who bark lines voiced by new actors referencing the Stations destruction and that it's "the talk of the whole galaxy" and "it's the new Taris". At the exit of the Camp, a party member will inform you that your entire party and the Ebon Hawk escaped the citadel and that Chodo stayed behind and died with the station, I'd suggest using T3 for this as he has no unique dialogue thus making him the best option. As an idea, if you played the smuggling quest light side with the black market weapons and kolto packs Grenn and some TSF personal escape the Citadel though if you played the smuggling quest Dark Side they wouldn't have these weapons and medical equipment meaning they where too pinned down by the Sith they couldn't escape and died. Once you finished speaking with T3 you'd cut to the cutscene of the Ebon Hawk leaving Dxun and arriving at Malachor thus beginning Malachor.

 

 

If you wanted to remove the "Saved Telos" with Carth why not have the cutscene play in the Ebon Hawk communication room via Hologram where Carth asks about the Ebon Hawk and discusses Revan. 

 

The last thing, Kreia has lines for this ending at the endgame which I will quote below

 

Spoiler

"The skies of Telos shall be shrouded in ash for a century, all that the Republic wrought there serving only as ruins to be uncovered by historians."

Spoiler

"These worlds, like Malachor and Korriban, will become home to darkness, creating new evils that will rise to threaten the galaxy. "

 

So should someone fill out the aftermath gap all they'd need to do is restore those two lines for this ending and this content can be restored. If I missed something or like to suggest,  modify or discuss this ending and my idea free to do so.

I'm assuming you're referring to my video . . .

You might not realize this but that half of that cutscene wasn't released conventionally.  The portion where the Ravager crashes into the station was only released on the DVD that accompanied some copies of Prima's KOTOR2 Guide.  Prima might have an issue with it put in the game and they might not.  Just fair warning.

Now here is an actual obstacle to restoring this. While the crashing scene itself doesn't exist wouldn't it be possible to use the crashing footage from the disk and the destruction footage from the game and merge them into one, like you did, and implement that as a bik to be played in the mod? If we can make custom ending credits (TSLRCM), custom opening credits (ROR and TJM), custom opening scenes (BOSSR), custom game cutscenes (BOSSR again) I'm sure we could convert your video into a bik and use that.

If you work out the other stuff, I don't foresee a problem letting you have it.  Let's cross that bridge when you're ready though.

Is the "new evils" a reference to Xanatos, who was Qui-Gon's failed Padawan?
