Mod Community Fixing KOTOR 2

Joystiq reports on an effort by fans of the Knights of the Old Republic series to actually finish the second game in the series, something developer Obsidian was unwilling or unable to do. The prodigious amount of deleted content towards the end of the game is being put back in, with more solid endings being offered for the diligent gameplayer. From the article: "You can check the Restoration Project web site for weekly updates as they near completion of a PC patch that should give fans a more complete KoTOR2 experience than the standalone retail edition. Team Gizka is also considering an Xbox patch, but a decision won't be made until after the PC update is released."

Would have been nice if this would have been included in the article summary, but anyway...

I have been putting off playing KOTOR 2 for a long time waiting for them to actually release. Hopefully it'll be soon.

I recall hearing about this project that time ago or longer, I think. It's been in the works for some time now.

see, therein lies the problem. i was lightside, and still had enough force to electrocute and choke the dark acolytes and apprentices. something is wrong!

You're half right; they did fire tons of people and axe lots of projects, but they moved into the new ILM offices just because Lucasfilm was consolidating everything. They would probably have fired the people and scrapped the projects regardless of any location shifting.

Sure is a shame, too. I loved KOTOR2 so much more than KOTOR, but I tell my friends that if they play it, they might as well just quit when they get to the last planet. It's about as satisfying as actually playing the game, and it's actually a little less frustrating.
