Combat and skill checks are resolved using a digitised version of Wizards of the Coast's d20 Star Wars, itself based on Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition. Older players will find that she questions a lot of our assumptions and can provoke a lot of thought.Īs far as gameplay goes, a lot of the mechanics are similar to the first KOTOR, with some improvements to skills and crafting. Younger players are not super likely to be influenced by her, both because she is difficult if not impossible to please and for reasons related to the plot. There are many hours of content breaking down her messaging on YouTube and her worldview is frequently compared to the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. Kreia, the game's mentor character, delivers the game's most interesting critiques and is a fan favourite for it. Going back as an older person, there's great commentary here on topics like war, trauma, ideology, and the ways our beliefs can constrain us, as well as the Star Wars setting. I'd say you could give this to a younger Star Wars fan, but they'll appreciate it a lot more as they near adulthood. Some of its occasional innuendos flew over my head back then and as a young player I missed what made a lot of the characters so interesting. Playing it as a young kid didn't leave me traumatised or anything, but the game's villains are scary and its world is very morally grey. KOTOR2 is a cult classic for a reason, but it is certainly darker than your grandfather's Star Wars. It's an old game, though today's children might play it through Steam or the Switch and Mobile ports. This was one of the first games I ever played. Though I didn't talk much about gameplay and such, trust me, it's great. So, if you do decide to purchase this game, make sure you by all means get the "KotOR II Restoration Patch" as it adds a plethora of missing dialogue, events, items, and fixes over a thousand bugs. BUT! Obsidian was smart about this, and kept all the missing content included in the game files for fans to hopefully one day finish what they started. Despite that, they were forced to go through with the unplanned holiday release, resulting in an incomplete game. When the game was under development, LucasArts rushed Obsidian (the company working on it) to push for a holiday release, when it needed at least a summer release.

NOTE! If you do decide to get this game, get it for PC/MAC. This game is easily one of the best well written and I would honestly favor this over the first game, especially given how complex it is. If you choose not to help the beggar however, she scolds you for not considering the consequences to be had by not helping him. For example, you can decide to help a beggar by giving them money in the game, however, Kreia shows you the consequences of that, which results in that beggar being attacked by another beggar due to him having undeserved money.

Regardless of whether or not you become "good" or "bad", she'll still have you question yourself, giving this game a much deeper meaning. This game is great at making you question your decisions, thanks to one of the main characters, Kreia. Unlike the first game, where I put kids the age of 8 and up could/should play, I believe this one should be bumped up to at least 10. As usual commonsensemedia gave this game, like it's predecessor, a lowly 3 stars where it deserves well above 5, if it was possible. Knight of the Old Republic II, much like it's predecessor, doesn't fail to impress yet again.
