Continuing onward, you meet Atton Rand, and the three of you team up to get your ship and get out of there, though not without meeting one of the first Sith lords as a mysterious abandoned ship pulls in. That’s nice if you want to be evil, but is quite annoying if you wanted to go light-sided on your first playthrough. However, her role in the influence system seems to make you embrace the dark side. Her character is one of the most divisive aspects of the game. Her name is Kreia, and she’s a really interesting character. Desperate to find someone living in this seemingly abandoned station, you will eventually find an old woman lying on a bed that awakens. After pulling the Ebon Hawk into a mining station for repairs, your character awakens and breaks out of a bacta tank. When you start the game, you’re immediately filled with trepidation.

The widescreen mod is also mandatory, as it fixes the User Interface, preventing it from being squished and your cursor from being majorly cramped and clicking outside of the game. The Restored Content mod also patches up additional bugs that were leftover from the original game, so it makes the restored content mod mandatory if you want to save yourself from pulling your hair out. This sequel initially shipped with less content than its predecessor, in part of LucasArts rushing the game’s release for Christmas, causing many great things to be removed. Also play the first if you want to fully understand the story, even if the story there is just the occasional Star Wars romp. Firstly, however, I need to give one word of advice: play this with the restored content and widescreen mods. Released in 2003 and 4 by Bioware and Obsidian Entertainment respectively, I’ll be taking a look at the sequel, and tell you why you should play this excellent game. It’s the Knights of the Old Republic titles. While The Rise of Skywalker and the sequel era as a whole has been disappointing, save for Rogue One, there’s one game from the ill-considered prequel era of Star Wars that’s been gaining a lot of love lately. It’s 2020, and Star Wars is as bustling of a franchise as it always has been.
