Knights of the Old Republic is one of my favorit RPG games. I love so many things about the two games, however, I didn't realy like the heads that you were able to chose from when creating your character. So i went out and did what i usually do, try to fix it myself. I chose to edit a head from KotOR 2 that realy bugged me. The guy was once a jedi and he had a freekin soul-patch bush of hair under his lip. A JEDI WITH A SOUL-PATCH?! I hated it so much that i just had to fix it. It is also available for download to anyone who is interested. It comes with four diferent versions.

EDIT: I also changed the scar under his eye and other small things. The dark side transition is all my doing. He looks a lot different from the original.

If you don't know what KotOR is you're probably not going to care about this post.

This is a link to the site with the download. It also has hundreds of other upgrades to these awesome games.

I think that guy needs to see a dermatologist.

[NiuHaka]

Hey Man-O-War!... You're the DOOM guy!!! AWESOME!... wait, i think I've said that to you already... maybe not.

Anyway, Geek mode in- 3- 2- 1-

After one such as this guy is corrupted by the Dark Side to this extent, I doubt they would care much about how pretty they look. He would probably just kill the dermatologist for getting to close to him. Unless the dermatologist is a beautiful woman. In that case he would probably just make her his slave or something... I feel sick. I think i have a geek flue coming on. (EDIT: would this make me a geek or a nerd?... I don't know the dif anymore. I'm probably both.)

What's with KotoR 2 on the PC?  I can play Crysis on high but this game lags like hell.

I don't know. Funny thing is, it runs perfectly on my computer and i doubt i can run Crysis on high if at all. I've read about people having lag problems with kotor but I've never seen a good reason for it. My guess is that, because it was once an Xbox exclusive game, they didn't program it with pc in mind so they didn't plan for all the different things the program would have to deal with. That's just a guess so it might be rubbish.

EDIT: Oh and my game had a lot of problems until i turned on the Vsynk option. It is defaulted off.

KOTOR2 has serious problems with newer computers. It won't even start on mine. Also NiuHaka, Darth Caedus seems pretty concerened with apperances, and since sith tend to be motivated for different reasons, it's likely some would take pride in their apperance.

Yeah, I didn't word it very well but i was wasn't talking about the sith. The exile was not a sith. Kreia talked about it on several occasions. She made sure that you understood that not all who fall to the dark side follow the teachings of the sith. The exile was a wound in the force. He/she (depended on weather you chose male of female) was a threat to both jedi and sith. Both the sith and the jedi believed in order but chaos followed in the exiles wake.

...Oh no! I shouldn't get dragged into this discustion. I could go on and on about how awesome this game is and i would never stop. STOP ME NOW! Only Mass Effect for PC can save me from this now... and then the cycle would continue but with Mass Effect instead... God help me.

[Kaworu]

Well the thing is that what Kreia said is a common sith way of luring people over to the darkside (such as vergere used on Jacen). It's Star Wars Canon, that there's strictly light and dark side. Dark Jedi are just like a lesser sith/archaic term for one fallen to sith teachings. (yeah I hate how narrow minded george Lucas is)
Kreia is clearly sith (Darth Traya after all), and its also obvious she's trying to convert the exile into being her true apprentice, at the expence of her two weaker ones (Sith triumvirate *_* Siths exist as two.).
Also you say he/she... the exile is a she according to the holocron (holocron=geeky name for Star Wars canon).

I hate making posts like this

I hate making posts like this

HAHAAAH! Me too and that's why I'm not going to talk about it anymore... must resist... grrr... GAAAAAH!... You make a very VERY good point and i feel i have one as well but I MUST RESIST! Somebody put me down before i continue this GEEKATHON!

*Looking for some way to silence the inner geek*

HAH! I found a way. I must utterly embarrass myself.

This is an actual picture of myself that i augmented to look like FREEKIN SITH! GAAAAAH I'm SUCH A GEEK!


... ... ... oh shit... what have i done?

[Ghost_Aspergers]

You speak in emotes.... yet you look like a decent human being. This must be a lie. You are in actualality a 12 year old japanese school girl. No self respecting adult will >.< GAAAAAH!.

uh... what on earth?

1st-
I'm not sure what an emotes is. if it is that little silly face thing you made before the GAAAAH- ie ">.<" then i didn't even do that. I didn't even know what those things were for the longest time. I had to have a teenager tell me. If you're talking about the GAAAH itself then, uh, well, to tell the truth, i don't have any self respect... that's why i like to watch Star Wars and make re-textures of Star Wars video game characters (No offence to those who like Star Wars and make re-textures of Star Wars video game characters.).

2nd-
That picture looks like a decent human being to you? You must be a very VERY scary looking man (or woman... yeah right). I mean... look at it. There are dark blood vessels showing through the skin. The eyes are glowing like the fires of hell. You my friend must be very scary indeed.

The hardware accelleration in general in this game is really picky.  In some cases an entire model of video card that should run the game just fine would not work at all, and the game can not run on any computers with integrated video.  It probably has a lot to do with it originally being coded for a console that has a specific configuration.  Also if I recall the game was cancelled and sort of released As-Is without the developer having time to finish it, so I'm sure that the PC port was similarly hurried along.

Amazing game though!

Also neat mod dude.

[NiuHaka]

Also neat mod dude.

Thank you.

This is WAY off topic but this is my post so i guess it's okay... maybe ... ... ...

(I'm assuming you made the game I'm about to talk about.)
"Wilfred the Hero" is a brilliant game. In my opinion it is ten thousand trillion times better than that Barkley b-ball game (not that i don't like that Barkley b-ball game. I think it's brilliant too.). I keep waiting for more games like this to come out but I'm beginning to realize just how unique and rare games like this are. I've been working on a rm2k3 game myself (Shameless plug: check out my myspace link at bottom) and your game has been quite the inspiration. Not in terms of style, look, and feel but in terms of complete and 100% original. Be well and keep up the good work my friend.

[SpiralViper]

I think I heard something about a group working on an unofficial "restoration" patch that would make the ending not suck balls and add some fairly key dialogue that was scrapped and more. Sounded pretty neat to me, KOTOR II had surprisingly deep characters if you looked hard enough; GOTO was especially hard to reconcile but turns out to be fucking awesome if you pursue his development.

[Kaworu]

Yeah I've read about that. There was something like two planets (HK's droid factor planet for instance) that got scrapped.

[NiuHaka]

No he's talking about this.

http://www.team-gizka.org/

The project is not finished yet but it is alive and well. I can't wait. I've been holding off on playing again until this is released.

EDIT: oh wait, were you saying the planets got scrapped from the original game? I thought you were talking about the project. my bad.

[NiuHaka]

I made another one and i didn't feel that it was good enough to start a new topic.

Here is the download to anyone who cares-> http://knightsoftheo...ad_Cyborg;89726

[Dale Gobbler]

Oh yeah, I read that they scrapped some stuff from the xbox version. Also on the KOTOR II official bioware website or lucasart website, the PC patch links don't even work, let alone the ingame patch updater. I read that they pretty much scrapped fixing the PC version a long time ago.

[Kaworu]

yeah KOTOR2 has no real support. I can't play it on my new PC (yet I can strangely play the first KOTOR).

I think that cyborg head would look pretty cool with bump-mapping. But KOTOR2 don't have that

[Hundley]

man i thought it was just me because i've never fucking been able to get this running on a pc, even though the first one works on all of them. i tried an old computer and a new computer and none fucking worked. it's clear that their QA schedule lasted approximately 48 hours or just didn't cover system compatibility at all. hooray for HOLIDAY RUSH

i wouldn't care so much but i played the first few hours on my friend's xbox and really liked it a lot. i hear the whole game thins out and gets pretty weak by the end, but the first few hours of kotor 2 are really vastly superior to anything in the first one i think. it's really one of the only games i've played within the last few years that made the whole sequence of events feel less like IMBECILE QUESTS and more like an actual SITUATION that you play to work your way out of, if you know what i mean. it felt like there was someone in charge of structuring the game experience that actually had some idea of what the fuck they were doing unlike the whole fucking industry which is basically thousands of carbon copies of MAN-CHILD CLIFFY B and his stupid fucking chainsaw gun
