The biggest changes to how skills work in KotOR 2 address practically everything I complained about regarding skills in the original game. Skills can be used to gain additional dialogue or menu options. Treat Injury: affects amount healed by medpaks.Security: unlocking doors and containers.Repair: fixing up droids and broken equipment.Persuade: bending others to your point of view.Awareness: detecting mines, stealth, and social awareness.Demolitions: utilizing or disarming explosives.
Skills are the quintessential metric that measures how good the player character is at performing certain tasks: This isn’t to say there isn’t any meaningful improvements, as a majority of said systems are expanded upon to have more depth. “Knights of the Old Republic 2 – The Sith Lords” (which I will be abbreviating as KotOR 2 for brevity) has a lot of the same systems that the original KotOR had: the d20 system, skills, feats, powers, and alignment systems are used in the same ways. In terms of general gameplay, players who are coming from the first game aren’t going to notice any big sweeping changes here. The player can either be a paragon of hope, a scion of revenge, or just someone trying to get by whichever way, the past catches up to everyone eventually. The player will be tasked with uncovering a dark plot to destroy all life in the galaxy, gathering a crew of debatably-dependable party members, and coming to terms with the trauma the past conflicts have driven into the hearts and minds of everyone involved. They had the Force and their lightsaber stripped from them and were exiled to wander the galaxy for their involvement in the war. “Knights of the Old Republic 2 – The Sith Lords” is an RPG developed by Obsidian that puts the player in the shoes of one known as the Exile: the only Jedi to voluntarily return to the Jedi Council after the Mandalorian wars. It is a time of great uncertainty in a galaxy far, far away. There are hints of a Sith plot as some planets go dark and ships go missing, but the Republic is in too weak a state to do anything other than try to recover after the one-two hit of the Mandalorian Wars and the Jedi Civil war brought it to its knees. Even Revan himself, the hero of the age, has once again disappeared into parts unknown and hasn’t been heard from since. Worlds are still in ruin from the two wars the just concluded masses of people’s lives are in disarray, be they refugees of destroyed worlds or veterans who are now homeless and jobless and the Jedi, the usual guardians of peace, are nowhere to be found. After Revan saved the galaxy from total destruction at the hands of Darth Malak, the Republic is still in tatters.
