<h1>Should You Use The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod in Your First <cite>Star Wars: KotOR 2</cite> Playthrough?</h1>
|

<div class="center-text">
|

<p>Written by Leilukin</p>
|
||||
<p>Originally published on August 30, 2023</p>
|

</div>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Regardless of how much you like<cite> Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords</cite> or not, there is no denying the fact that the game would be (even) better if Obsidian Entertainment was given more time to develop and polish the game to truly achieve their vision for the game, instead of being rushed to meet the release deadline which resulted in a lot of cut content.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod (TSLRCM) is the most successful attempt to restore the cut content of <cite>KotOR 2</cite>, as it not only restores cut content that can help to flesh out the game and give some plot lines more closure, but also fixes many bugs in the vanilla game. TSLRCM easily became the most iconic mod for either <cite>KotOR</cite> game, to the extent that the mod even has <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sith_Lords_Restored_Content_Modification" target="blank">its own Wikipedia page</a>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> It is widely agreed that TSLRCM is essential for the best experience with <cite>KotOR 2</cite>. There are players only started to like <cite>KotOR 2</cite> after they replayed the game with TSLRCM, so some have argued that even first-time players should use TSLRCM in their very first playthrough of <cite>KotOR 2</cite>. I, however, do not believe the answer to the question "Should you use TSLRCM in your first <cite>KotOR 2</cite> playthrough" is clear-cut. As a huge <cite>KotOR 2</cite> fan who has played the game both with and without TSLRCM, my opinion is that it is up to the player to decide if they want to use TSLRCM in their first <cite>KotOR 2</cite> playthrough based on their priorities.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>TSLRCM changes the playing experience of <cite>KotOR 2</cite> for the better, but it is still a mod that fundamentally changes the player's experience with the game. The primary purpose of video game modifications is to change things in a game, usually in ways that diverge from the original design of the game. This is why I typically do not encourage brand-new players to use mods in their first playthrough of any video game, with the only exception being pure bug fix mods, such as the first <cite>KotOR</cite> game's <a href="https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1258-kotor-1-community-patch/" target="blank">KOTOR 1 Community Patch</a>. Instead, I would advise players to play a game first without mods, so they can make their own decision on what kind of mods would they want to make their experience with the game better when they replay it, and in turn, they would appreciate the changes made by the mods they use and the work modders put into the mods better. This philosophy of mine applies to both <cite>KotOR</cite> games, even after I became a <cite>KotOR</cite> modder myself.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Therefore, if you have never played <cite>KotOR 2</cite> before, and you ask me if you should use TSLRCM in your first <cite>KotOR 2</cite> playthrough, my answer is that it depends on what you want. You may use TSLRCM in your first <cite>KotOR 2</cite> playthrough if you intend to play <cite>KotOR 2</cite> <em>only once</em>, and you want to get the best experience with the game in the only time you will be playing the game, but otherwise I would encourage you to try <cite>KotOR 2</cite> without TSLRCM first, in order to fully appreciate TSLRCM for what it accomplishes, for the changes it makes for the game and the praise it receives from players.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Another benefit from playing <cite>KotOR 2</cite> without TSLRCM first is that you will have an easier time finding guides and walkthroughs of the game, because most of the <cite>KotOR 2</cite> guides that you can easily find on the internet were written based on the vanilla version of the game, while TSLRCM-specific guides are more difficult to find by comparison.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Perhaps I am biased because I already loved <cite>KotOR 2</cite> from the get go since my first playthrough of the game, even before I discovered TSLRCM's existence, and I am the type of autistic gamer who likes to replay games they like, but I do not believe that makes my opinion any less worthy to consider.</p>
