When I learned Atris being into male exile is clearly written in the game (I never played the male) i was shocked, because I legimately thought she was into my fem exile as well?! And that her romantical attraction to the exile is supposed to be subtextual? Disappointing!

Anyway, I'm entering my "digital era". I've been scared of it for long, but then I figured out that I have nearly no problems with it lol

WOOOOO! BEST GIRL! LETS GOOOO!

One of the best parts of KoTOR 2 to me is how it subverts the typical Star Wars trend of having the main character be the center of the universe. In most things Star Wars, especially the movies, everything revolves around the main character, and granted, that is partly because they will be our main protagonist, but also it specially focuses around them. Anakin Skywalker is the single most important person during the prequels, almost everyone plans involve him in some way, and his actions define almost everything else that happens. This trend continues in the other trilogies, with the Skywalkers being the main focus.

KoTOR 2 is similar in some aspects to this, the Exile is undoubtedly the center of the story, and their actions influence everyone else to the extreme. The subversion of this is that the majority of the exile's influence doesn't take place during the game arguably. It happens far before it.

The Exile is responsible for almost every one of their companions major neuroses. Your actions have defined everyone, if not always directly, and played major parts of shaping them into who they are by the time of the game. The way it plays out, it's like a sort of "afterword" of one of the movies. You experience the fallout of the actions and decisions you made, the result of being the center of the universe, and it is very rarely pretty. KoTOR 2's companions were broken by your actions, and now you have to mend that break.

Basically, I really love that KoTOR 2 shows the how being the most important person ever would really play out, and its incredibly destructive consequences. Its a really cool subversion of the typical Star Wars formula.

How hilarious is it that Kreia finds out Atton is a former Jedi hunter/torturer/murderer and is immediately like “Perfect. Babysit my Jedi.”

KotOR Week 2024

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the release of Knights of the Old Republic: the Sith Lords, I want to celebrate with a week of prompts for artists, writers and every other creator in the fandom!

Any creations based on any character or place or event of the games or the world around them is applicable for this event! NSFW is allowed so long as it is put under a cut and properly tagged.

Day 1 (2nd December): Darth Revan

Day 2 (3rd December): The Jedi Exile

Day 3 (4th December): The Crew of the Ebon Hawk

Day 4 (5th December): The Mandalorian Wars

Day 5 (6th December): The Jedi Civil War

Day 6 (7th December): Post Game

Day 7 (8th December): Freeform

All these prompts are very wide and open, and mostly just inspiration, not something that needs to be followed, so if you want to make something entirely different, that would be completely fine!

Looking forward to see what people create!

FACT: I'm never gonna be able to take the Knights of the Old Republic games seriously ever again.

I’ve been playing KOTOR 2 recently and while I can’t say much about the plot (I have a vague knowledge of what happens in the game as a whole — as far as I can tell, Kreia = someone who is exactly as untrustworthy as she appears, Nihilus = this Star Wars game taking a hard right turn into horror, and Sion = surprisingly sad), I can safely say that I prefer the little details of how this game’s mechanics work as opposed to KOTOR 1. Having empty containers actually marked as empty, having the option to fight empty-handed, being able to break down and create items as opposed to just upgrading them… I’m not sure how I’ll rank the plot and characters when I’m done, but I like how the game works.

I feel like I am haunted by Malachor V too, I come back to this game again and again.

No, I don’t know what the setting or context are. She’s being an overly handsy master and he’s just simping.
