Star Wars KOTOR 2 Finally Touches Down on Steam
KOTOR 2 finally makes its way onto Steam's shelves.
Although the original Knights of the Old Republic had long been a part of Steam's virtual inventory, Obsidian Entertainment's sequel, KOTOR II, has been strangely absent until now.
KOTOR received much critical acclaim when it released and has been hailed as a RPG classic. Its sequel, while still successful, provoked much less fanfare. It was riddled with bugs as a result of its rushed release.
While paying $9.99 isn't ideal for an almost eight-year-old game, KOTOR II has plenty of content available that wasn't quite there at the time of the game's release. The nature of KOTOR II's release did result in some unforeseen good. Much of the content that didn't make it into the actual game was left behind. KOTOR modders of The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod team collaborated to piece together all the unfinished content to make it available for fans.
To buy KOTOR II, head over to its Steam store page located here. If you're interested in seeing the restored content for the game, The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod is available on its moddb page.

Pennanen They could have at least finnish the cut content officially. Pay 10$ for a 100 year old game and they havent bothered to even give it a graphical facelift?Reply -
tomfreak I dont know about u, but the first one is good, the second one is a bug fest. First one is still better.Reply -
killerclick So, is KOTOR II on Steam the fixed version or do I have to download the mods as well?Reply -
mmstick WOW, tomshardware is slow. How long has KOTOR 2 been on Steam? A week now? It's not even news worthy for a tech website like this. Counter Strike Global Offensive was a much greater potential article than this.Reply -
