It could annoying, sure, but it was also interesting to have the force-wielding mentor who wasn’t one of the normal archetypes. Go too far one way or the other, and Kreia was right there to point out the flaws of your chosen direction. KotOR 2 was the Star Wars game that tried to get the player to at least consider the vast gulf between Light and Dark sides. Is it too obscure and forgotten at this point to really give much attention to anyway? Perhaps.

KOTOR 2 certainly is not a hot topic on SWTOR fan sites and podcasts - I’ve never heard it mentioned - and I feel that the sequel will eventually become completely ignored to the point where people new to the series in SWTOR will never know it existed. Some players say that BioWare is attempting to quietly retcon KOTOR 2, or at least remove portions of the story that contradict what the studio wants to have for SWTOR. Taken in the context of the Timeline series, however, we decided it would be confusing and that the next note in the history of the galaxy should be the Jedi Civil War.”Įven with the confirmation that KOTOR 2 is being treated as canon and it’ll be referenced in SWTOR, I have to wonder if that’s a bit of smoke and mirrors for the fact that BioWare doesn’t really have incentive to link to this game which wasn’t made by their own company.īioWare’s stance is that KOTOR 2’s events didn’t really impact the galaxy as much as SWTOR, although players are quick to differ on that, citing many wide-ranging effects that KOTOR 2’s story had. This is absolutely not to say the story of KotOR 2 wasn’t important. Because the events of KotOR 2 didn’t really change the political landscape of the galaxy in any significant way, it’s really more of an historical footnote to the Jedi Civil War rather than a major event in its own right. When outlining the Timeline series, though, we skipped over the events of KotOR2 for a few reasons. I will also say that there have been discussions about the final fate of the Exile, who was indeed a woman according to the canon. If you look closely within the game, you will find several references to events or characters from KotOR 2, and we absolutely treat it as canon. “Even though KotOR 2 was developed by another developer, lots of folks at BioWare played and enjoyed it, including myself. The OP quotes BioWare’s Rob Chestney who addresses the topic: There’s a 51-page thread on the SWTOR forums titled “ KOTOR 2 being ignored” that struggles with this issue and notes that KOTOR 2 isn’t mentioned at all in the SWTOR’s in-depth timeline. Mostly it’s just “You’ll hear more about Revan and, oh yeah, there’s HK-47, huzzah meatbag!” In fact, from my observations, I think the only element from KOTOR 2 that I’m seeing in SWTOR is the blind people race that looks suspiciously like KOTOR 2’s Kreia (what with the hood over the eyes and all).

Then again, it didn’t force you to play alongside Carth Onassi, so there’s a plus there.īut for all of the discussion swirling around SWTOR’s connections to its predecessors, I’ve never heard anything about KOTOR 2 references. It wasn’t properly finished, it was done by Obsedian rather than BioWare, it was buggy as crap, and it never got the rave reviews that KOTOR 1 did. Of course, KOTOR 2 has a few strikes against it.

In setting up my new laptop, I was sorting though all my software and came across my discs for Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords, AKA “The KOTOR game I’ve tried to play twice and never finished.” It got me thinking about KOTOR 2’s weird place in this whole franchise, and if it’s being overlooked by both fans and BioWare when it comes to SWTOR. I think it had a 2 in its name? The one that nobody ever talks about? You know, Knights of the Old Republic, and, um, that other one. Finding the wait for Star Wars: The Old Republic unbearable? Can’t get into the beta? Since we still have over a month to go until launch, there’s enough time to dip into the “prequels” (so to speak) of BioWare’s first MMO.
