Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Knights of the Old Republic - contains a metric ton of unmarked spoilers

Nar Shaddaa is much longer and a bit different in tone, lots more fights. The Bounty Hunter War kicks off with you in the middle, Atton has more of a role and it's fucking hard.
There seems to be more flavour cut scenes on board the Ebon Hawk, most of which seem to involved Kreia being a cryptic bitch and the droids bickering.
On Dantooine I ran into an abandoned padawan who had been living in the ruins, convinced her to stop attacking people
It's worth noting though that the first time I ran through KOTOR II it took me around twenty hours, this time I'm at the twenty hour mark and am only just finishing up my second planet.
Yeah I have. It's... not bad. It becomes startlingly obvious that the majority of the gameplay content was cut for pace reasons rather than evil Lucasarts. Fighting through Nar Shadaa's new content for example is overwhelmingly tedious, and it also got to the point where I was sighing every time I had to go through another of the dozen new HK encounters. All the new plot stuff and added cut scenes are great, but everything you have to play through that was cut is pretty terrible. The HK factory in particular is dull as balls.
Honestly, the LP really makes this clear if you read between the lines.
EDIT:
Unless I'm forgetting that it wasn't, in fact, subtext in the LP... It's been a while since I've read it.
You're muckin' with a G!
The LP notes that most of the cut content was cut for pacing/story reasons, but really questions the cutting of some content (most apparent being the HK factory).
Did they make it so you could actually gain enough influence to unlock Mandalore's full conversations in the patch?

this is what I use, didn't work on female characters though
There's this, but the screenshots are really low-quality and I haven't tried it myself so I don't know if it's any good.
All right, people. It is not a gerbil. It is not a hamster. It is not a guinea pig. It is a death rabbit. Death. Rabbit. Say it with me, now.
It is too bad they didn't have the balls to say they were in over their head, open up all the code and changes to public and ask for help. A completed mod could have been released years ago.
However, on windows XP if I install the old NVIDIA 174 drivers it works okay. I can't really do that on Windows 7... I've also did the single core thing, and replaced the .dll file. Any other ideas anyone has here? I'm open to just about anything other than buying it again... I don't have any money right now.
All right, people. It is not a gerbil. It is not a hamster. It is not a guinea pig. It is a death rabbit. Death. Rabbit. Say it with me, now.
oh, so it was actually cut for a good reason
Pretty much all the gameplay stuff, yes. The HK droid factory has some nice dialogue but killing waves of enemies while playing as a not particularly effective member of the team is dull. All the extra gameplay sequences are combat heavy and boring.
Yeah they're pretty cool. If you ask on the boards they might be able to tell you which modules to remove. The droid factory is probably worth playing just for the dialogue.
I never asked for this!
What's your point?
Apparently, this was going to be a feature.
That saying the gameplay was cut for that reason really doesn't make sense.
I never asked for this!
In what sense? The content wasn't made fresh by the fan project, it was made by the dev team. It was cut for whatever reason and restored by the fans. The cuts, in many cases, were actually beneficial to the game. I have no idea why this concept appears to have you so deeply butthurt.
I thought most of the stuff was done content wise was just a few lines of dialog and rough maps. Either way the patch is cool but it isn't as epic as the wait built it up to be.
I never asked for this!
I'd say over an hour of gameplay time is added, but a lot of it is pretty weak. The patch's effects on the plot are pretty great however, although the lack of animations in some areas is obvious. If you haven't played KOTOR 2 in a while I'd give it a whirl.
I'm hoping it'll be fixed if I go back to an earlier save but I hadn't saved since the start of the endgame planet and I don't have the patience to redo it all right away. So frustrated right now.
All right, people. It is not a gerbil. It is not a hamster. It is not a guinea pig. It is a death rabbit. Death. Rabbit. Say it with me, now.
Do you think there is some way you can communicate this suggestion to the guys making the KOTOR MMO? This really needs to be a feature.
believe we've talked about this in the KOTOR MMO thread in that subforum.
I'd be perfectly fine with just a couple tweaks here and there and just give me a goddamn ending. Stupid fans having to do everything the right way.
Things like fan mods and fan translations can really expose the difference between professionals and rabid people who don't know that sometimes restraint is a good thing. All those fan translations that insist on literal word-to-word translations, except for the random words that their otaku-addled brains think should be kept Japanese with no explanation as to what the hell they mean...
On the other hand, there are fan projects that do a better job for not being restricted to time, etc., but those are few and far between.
See, this is what I mean. You'd think the ending would be priority one, not making sure you get to fight HK's every three minutes.
