Selling a game that you know cannot be completed on the platform that the game is meant for is NOT UNDERSTANDABLE. It's Criminal! This game should never have shipped and it is irrelevant how "supposedly" buggy the source content was. Part of the porting process should have been to remove such bugs!

@dudeguy That is about the worst excuse imaginable. If you said that Obsidian isn't going out of their way to fix bugs, I wouldn't care. They likely haven't touched the title in a decade or more, and won't touch the title again. When another company is attempting to make money by porting this old title and finds game breaking bugs, yeah I do expect them to fix it, if they don't want to be hit with refunds and/or false advertising, anti-consumer practices lawsuits.

From what I know the dialogue skipping bug is caused from a memory leak when the game is running for a long time. Usually it's fixed by quitting out and restarting the game. It's especially apparent on the switch since most of the time you're not actually quitting out the game but rather sleeping it and so it may happen more frequently.

Random question. I bought a Switch OLED a week ago and yesterday I was playing fortnite for like two hours portable when my switch said my right joy con wasn’t connected to the tablet. No matter how many times I took it off and back on it would not reconnect. Joy cons are updated same as the console. I turned it off and back on and it seemed to fix the issue. Anyone else have this problem?

wow. i'm a little surprised the dialogue skipping thing transferred over to the switch. don't expect it to get fixed though. it's an engine specific bug that would probably need a complex workaround. when playing the game for around 2 hours, this is known to happen. it's a time based thing, and the only thing you can do to ward it off is shut down the game, and make sure to load a save from before the bug started happening. because its a bug with the engine, the people responsible for fixing it are the engine creators, not the game creators, and i believe that engine has been discontinued. take my words with a grain of salt though. this is, after all, the internet.

Compare this to how Quake 1 was essentially remastered with new content and overhauled to fit with modern systems.

A serious game breaking bug? In KOTOR II? Say it aint so! What a surprise!!!!! This was exactly what happened with the original PC game. If I recall it was even in the SAME SPOT (the Basilisk crash). I played this eagerly on PC after playing KOTOR 1 and loving it. It was no where near as good as KOTOR, worse story, bugs, but luckily I could reload a save to get around the game breaking bug. KOTOR II was the reason I did not buy Fallout: New Vegas. As soon as that dropped it was again reported to be full of bugs. Notably, in the intro, where you wake up and a doctor is talking to you, the animation could cause his entire head to rotate and turn upside down on their neck. Found it very hard to trust anything from Obsidian after KOTOR II and the reviews of Fallout: New Vegas. Can't believe that so many years later KOTOR II is still being released with the same bug in it.

He’s not joking. Flurry is THE optimal feat for light-side characters. I actually did the math on optimal builds for each alignment, and the optimal light-side build is all about stacking “extra attack” effects. Master flurry gives you an extra attack with no downsides, two-weapon fighting makes dual-wielding hit more often, force/knight/master speed gives 2 free extra attacks at the highest tier, and the juyo lightsaber form gives you an extra attack at the cost of defense. That’s 6 attacks total in a single turn, and with your protagonist’s custom lightsaber crystal and a few EXTREMELY effective upgrades for your lightsaber, each attack does significant damage in its own right. Get the finesse feat early on, and you can put basically all of your points into dexterity. Pick the Jedi Weaponmaster prestige class when it becomes available and you get some more passive feats that improve damage and accuracy with lightsabers. Whenever you get force powers, stack self-buffs. Viola, now you do mega-uber-ultra damage and are completely unkillable. Have fun. If anyone’s curious, the optimal dark side build is all about the force lightning. Start as a Jedi Consular and go into Sith Lord once it becomes available. Get the “battle precognition” ability which adds your wisdom bonus to defense, and put basically all your stat points into wisdom. Given that wisdom’s basic function is to make your force powers harder to save against and increase FP on level-up, you will basically have UNLIMITED POWER!!! (Note: dark side characters don’t have access to the same kinds of buffs that light-side characters do, so you will never be quite as tanky) Use the “force form” that increases damage of force powers by 50%, but increases the cost by and additional 50% FP. The extra cost doesn’t really matter, because you have UNLIMITED POWER!!! from your high wisdom score. I found myself doing triple-digit damage in a huge AOE surprisingly early in the game. Oh, and tip for the newbies: for the protagonist, sink all the points you can into persuade and awareness, as these open up the most conversation options. Your teammates (particularly Bao-dur and T3-M4, as they have the highest base intelligence and therefore skill points) can handle basically any skill-check you need them to, with the exception of conversational ones. Strictly speaking, every skill has conversation options associated with it, but awareness has the most (with repair and computer use being a distant second and third) and persuade is ONLY available to the protagonist.

They probably should have done what most companies forget to do, ship the game complete…I think dlc for a remake or remaster is an astounding waste of time to the consumer. When I want to play a game I’ve played before I want it all at once. Even without the game breaking bug why would I want to play a lesser version of a game without dlc that fundamentally makes the game better? This strategy has me worried about the development of the KOTOR remake.

hey Matty, thanks for the review and info, i bought KOTOR 1 on switch recently cause of your review and i'm enjoying it, loved the story of KOTOR 2 more myself, are you planning on an update video when they release the restored content patch on Switch? would love your thoughts on that when it does :D

It annoys me that nobody ever addresses the dialogue text size. The PC version of KOTOR 2 has tiny text when you run the game at modern resolutions, and there is nothing you can do to change it. There aren't any mods to address it because the text is hard coded. Interestingly, on the iPad version from a couple years ago, they bypassed this by putting in a completely new text system (text was blue and looked completely different). In the Switch version, they actually made the original text system look normal at modern resolutions for the first time in the game's history. It's a shame the Switch version has so many issues, because the text size alone is a non-starter for me on PC.

The problem with the Steam version of KOTOR II is, while the quality of life updates are great, the Workshop is actually NOT the best place for mods, unless you're only using ONE mod. In order to have mods be guaranteed to be compatible with one another, you really need to manually install them on KOTOR II. If you're only using TSLRCM though, Workshop is fine. Also, the dialogue skipping bug was actually made WORSE by the Aspyr update from 2015 on PC. I was excited for the Switch release of 2, but I'll definitely be waiting until TSLRCM is out for it and the bugs are ironed out.

My only comment on this is that it seems contrary to the function of a port job to have audio errors end up in the final product.

I remember some awesome glitches on the original Kotor in the OG Xbox. I had one save file where I could somehow go re-do everything on Talis despite the fact that I wasn't supposed to go there anymore. I was super powered up and at end game levels. The funniest save glitch I had was that Everytime I saved and came back onto my ship, I had a new clone of Zaalbar waiting. I could eventually have an army of Wookies on my ship. I gotta say it was fun venturing around with two Zalbaars as my bodyguards.

To defend Kotor 1 on switch. The sound bytes have been all fixed as well as quite a few other things. Still listening to this video will edit. Edit: Yeah. I love Kotor 2, but I justppayed on Xbox og and it was pretty okay. No crazy buzzing. Finishable. Hair physics and better particle effects. Kind of crazy there are so many issues.

It really sucks that the only way to get a physical copy is through Limited Run for now anyway. Why? This isn't some niche game, The Jedi Knight Collection released as a physical release. I hope that once the additional content is released on the Switch they release a physical copy with both games.

Thank you for answering my question of whether or not to buy this. That sound is horrible, and I don't like that they removed audio from the first game. Guess I'll buy Legend of Mana or something instead for my retro RPG on the go.

I somewhat disagree with the flurry being the best move, it was that, or power attack, or the lightning storm. But regardless it was definitely one of the best 3 power moves. Though I definitely used heal a lot more.
