• Kotor Yavin 4 Mod

I've been playing KOTOR since its initial release back in 2003. After buying 5 copies and 30+ play throughs later it's still the best RPG to have ever been created. The graphics are a bit dated now, but the gameplay, seemingly endless side quests, and unmatched storytelling completely immerse you in the Star Wars universe.

The Galactic Calendar is the in-universe calendar system adopted by the Galactic Senate following the Treaty of Coruscant (BTC/ATC). This is the calendar system that would be used by our characters.Main sources: Vivek, SWTOR Datacrons, TorCommunity, SWTOR Wiki (links at the bottom of the article)Setting the Stage5000 BBY 1347 BTC:3995 BBY 342 BTC:, based on perspective.3964 BBY 311 BTC:, based on perspective.3960 BBY 307 BTC:.3958 BBY 305 BTC:.3956 BBY 303 BTC: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic begins.3955 BBY 302 BTC: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic ends.3951 BBY 298 BTC: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2, The Sith Lords.

. WW: December 23, 2014Mode(s)Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (sometimes known simply as Knights of the Old Republic or KOTOR) is a set in the universe. Developed by and published by, the game was released for the on July 15, 2003, and for on November 19, 2003. The game was later ported to, and by, and it is playable on the and via their respective backwards-compatibility features.The story of Knights of the Old Republic takes place almost 4000 years before the formation of the, where, a Dark Lord of the, has unleashed a Sith armada against the. The player character, as a, must venture to different planets in the galaxy in order to defeat Malak. Players choose from three character classes and customize their characters at the beginning of the game, and engage in round-based combat against enemies. Through interacting with other characters and making plot decisions, the alignment system will determine whether the player's character aligns with the light or dark side of.The game was directed by, designed by, and written.

LucasArts proposed developing a game tied to, or a game set thousands of years before the prequels. The team chose the latter as they thought that they would have more creative freedom., and were hired to perform voices for the game's characters, while the soundtrack was composed. Announced in 2000, the game was delayed several times before its release in July 2003.The game received critical acclaim upon release, with critics applauding the game's characters, story, and sound. It was nominated for numerous awards, and is considered one of the. A sequel, developed by at BioWare's suggestion, was released in 2004.

The ' story continued with the 2011 release of, a developed by BioWare. Contents.Gameplay Players choose from three basic at the beginning of the game, and later choose from three Jedi subclasses. Beyond class, a character has 'skills' stats, 'feats', and later on, tiered powers, similar to magic spells in fantasy games. Feats and Force powers are generally unlocked upon, while the player is given skill points to distribute among their skills every level.Combat is round-based; time is divided into discrete rounds, and combatants attack and react simultaneously, although these actions are presented sequentially on-screen. The number of actions a combatant may perform each round is limited.

While each round's duration is a fixed short interval of real time, the player can configure the combat system to pause at specific events or at the end of each round, or set the combat system to never automatically pause, giving the illusion of real-time combat. Combat actions are calculated using DnD rules, particularly. While these are not displayed directly on the screen, the full breakdown for each action (including die rolls and modifiers) is accessible from a menu.For much of the game, the player can have up to two companions in their. These companions will participate in combat. They can be manually controlled by the player, or act autonomously if the player does not give them any input.

Outside of combat, the companions will randomly engage the player or each other in dialogue, sometimes unlocking additional quests. They will also participate in conversations the player has with other.Non-combat interaction with other characters in the game world is based upon a dialogue menu system. Following each statement, the player can select from a list of menu responses. The dialogue varies based on the gender and skills of the main character.The alignment system tracks actions and speech—from simple word choices to major plot decisions—to determine whether the player's character aligns with the light or dark side of. Generosity and altruism lead to the light side, while selfish or violent actions will lead the player's character to the dark side, which will alter the character's appearance, turning their eyes yellow and their skin pale.In addition to the standard role-playing gameplay, there are several minigame events that come up over the course of the game. The player can participate in swoop racing to earn money, and sometimes interplanetary travel will be interrupted by enemy starfighters, which begins a minigame where the player controls a turret to shoot down the opposing starcraft. The player can also engage in a card game known as pazaak, which is similar to the game of, to gamble money.Plot The story takes place approximately 4,000 years before the rise of the., a former, Dark Lord of the and 's former apprentice, has unleashed a Sith armada against the.

Malak's aggression has left the Jedi scattered and vulnerable; many Jedi Knights have fallen in battle and others have sworn allegiance to Malak.The game opens with the player's character—the player can choose a face and be male or female (canonically a male )—awakening aboard a Republic ship, the Endar Spire, which is under attack by Malak's forces over the city world of Taris. Republic soldier Trask Ulgo soon arrives and informs the player character that they are under attack.

Fighting their way to the escape pods, Trask and the player character are soon confronted by Sith Lord Darth Bandon. With no other options, Trask sacrifices himself while the player continues to make their way to the escape pods. The player character soon meets up with Carth Onasi, a skilled pilot and Republic war hero, and they escape the doomed warship.Crashing on the surface of Taris, the player character is knocked unconscious and Carth pulls them away from the wreckage. After suffering a strange vision, the player character awakens in an abandoned apartment with Carth, who explains that Taris is currently under martial law by Malak's forces who are currently searching for the Jedi Knight, known for her mastery of battle meditation, a Force technique which strengthens one's allies and weakens one's enemies during battle.

Carth and the player character go in search of her and manage to meet new companions along the way, such as the Twi'lek street urchin Mission Vao and her Wookiee companion Zaalbar. The group eventually finds and rescues Bastila from the Black Vulkar gang. With the help of utility droid T3-M4 and Mandalorian mercenary Canderous Ordo, the group escapes Taris aboard the Ebon Hawk, moments before the planet surface is decimated by Malak's fleet in a vain effort to kill Bastila.While taking refuge at the Jedi Academy on Dantooine, the player's character trains to be a Jedi, discovers a 'Star Map', and learns of the 'Star Forge', the probable source of Malak's military resources.

The player's character and their companions search planets across the galaxy—, Manaan, and Korriban—for more information about the Star Forge, gaining new companions along the way such as the Cathar Jedi Juhani, assassin droid HK-47, and 'Grey' Jedi Jolee Bindo. Through the course of their travels, the player will eventually discover their character's true identity—the brainwashed Darth Revan, whom the Jedi Council on Dantooine took in and subjected to memory modification so that he would no longer be a threat to the galaxy, the various visions they had been experiencing being Revan's memories. Darth Revan had been injured when attacking a Republic planet because Darth Malak turned his ship's guns on his former master, intent on usurping him.

Because Bastila was aboard Revan's ship with a Jedi strike force, she was able to heal him and bring him to the Jedi Council on Dantooine. Her actions lead to the force bond between her and Revan, which plays a role later in the game.Depending on the character's alignment, upon ultimately reaching the Star Forge they either defeat the Sith (the light-side path) or usurp control from Malak (the dark-side path).

A light-aligned character is hailed as a savior and hero; a dark-side character stands before the remaining Sith forces as the new Dark Lord of the Sith.Characters and locations. Further information:Eventually joining the main character's quest are veteran Republic pilot, the teenager Mission Vao and her companion Zaalbar, the, 'Grey' Jedi Jolee Bindo, utility droid T3-M4, Mandalorian mercenary Canderous Ordo, and assassin if he is bought. Juhani, another Jedi, may also join the party if she is not killed fighting the main character. Several of these characters, including Canderous Ordo, HK-47 and T3-M4, also appear in the sequel,. Republic soldier Trask Ulgo is also playable briefly on the Endar Spire.

Antagonists include Black Vulkar gang leader Brejik, crime boss Davik Kang, bounty hunter Calo Nord, Zaalbar's twisted brother Chuundar, Malak's Sith apprentice Darth Bandon, Sith Admiral Saul Karath, Sith Overseer Uthar Wynn, Rakatan tribe leader The One, and Darth Malak, the Dark Lord of the Sith. On several planets the main character deals with Czerka Corporation, a company operating on several planets that allied itself with the Sith, engaged in slave trade and other nefarious practices.

Major allies that help the player's party along the way are Hidden Bek gang leader Gadon Thek, Jedi Masters Vandar Tokare and Zhar Lestin, game hunter Komad Fortuna, Zaalbar and Chuundar's father Freyyr, Uthar's Sith apprentice Yuthura Ban, Republic representative Roland Wann, the Rakatan tribe 'The Elders', and Republic Admiral Forn Dodonna.Action takes place on the planets, Dantooine, Korriban, Manaan, Rakata Prime, and Taris; aboard the Republic cruiser Endar Spire and Saul Karath's ship Leviathan; and on the Star Forge space station. A space station near Yavin is a playable location in the PC, Mac OS X, and mobile versions of the game and is available to Xbox players via download from. Travel between these locations happens aboard the freighter, which is also a playable location.Production Development In July 2000, announced that they were working with to create a Star Wars for the. Joint BioWare Greg Zeschuk commented that 'The opportunity to create a richly detailed new chapter in the Star Wars universe is incredibly exciting for us. We are honored to be working with the extremely talented folks at Lucas Arts, developing a role-playing game based upon one of the most high-profile in the world.' The game was officially unveiled as Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic at.

At this point, the game had been in development for around six months. ' started in 2000, but the discussions started back in 1999,' LucasArts' Mike Gallo said, 'The first actual were in October or November of '99. That's when we first started talking to BioWare. But some really serious work finally started at the beginning of 2000.' “The thing that seems to stand out is that the current game is almost exactly what we envisioned almost three years ago.”— Project director Casey Hudson in April 2003The decision to set the game four thousand years before was one of the first details about the game made known. LucasArts gave BioWare a choice of settings for the game. 'LucasArts came to us and said that we could do an game,' BioWare CEO Raymond Muzyka said.

'Or LucasArts said we could go 4,000 years back, which is a period that's hardly been covered before.' BioWare chose to set the game four thousand years before the films as it gave them greater creative freedom. They aimed to create content similar to that from the films but different enough to be a definite precursor. Concept work had to be sent to to be approved for use. Muzyka noted that very little of their content was rejected: 'It was more like, 'Can you just make his head like this rather than like that.' So it was all very feasible. There were good suggestions made and they made the game better, so we were happy to do them.

It was a good process really and I think we were pleasantly surprised how easy LucasArts was to work with.' Zeschuk said that 'Overall, we were really happy with the results. We felt like we had enough freedom to truly create something wonderful.'

Gallo said that BioWare and LucasArts were aiming for a gameplay time of around sixty hours: ' was 100 hours of gameplay or more. Was 200 hours, and the critical-path play through Baldur's Gate 2 was 75 hours. We're talking smaller than that for Knights of the Old Republic, dramatically, but even if it's 60 percent smaller, then it's still 100 hours. So our goal for gameplay time is 60 hours. We have so many areas that we're building-worlds, spaceships, things like that to explore-so we have a ton of gameplay.' Project director Casey Hudson said that one of the greatest achievements and one of the greatest risks was the combat system. 'We wanted to create something that combined the strategic aspects of our Baldur's Gate series and but which presented it through fast, cinematic 3D action,' Hudson said.

'That required us to make something that hadn't really been done before.' Creating system was a daunting task, because of the many factors to cover, which were difficult to visualize. The developers intended to make the game have more open-ended gameplay.

Gallo compared some situations to: 'You have several ways to get through an area and you might need a character who has a specific skill to do that.' Technical LucasArts and BioWare settled on developing Knights of the Old Republic for the PC. The Xbox was chosen over other consoles because of BioWare's background of developing PC games and greater familiarity with the Xbox than other consoles: 'We could do the things we wanted to do on the Xbox without as much effort as we'd need to do it on the or,' Gallo said.

Other factors included the console's recent success and the opportunity to release one of the Xbox's first RPGs. BioWare had previously developed for the and PlayStation 2. Hudson said that 'Having experience in developing for other consoles gave us the proper mindset for implementing this game on the Xbox, and, by comparison, the Xbox was relatively easy to develop for.' Hudson did, however, note that there were some challenges during development.

One of the difficulties was in deciding how much graphical detail to provide. 'Since our games generally have a lot of AI and scripting, numerous character models, and huge environments, we stress the hardware in a very different way than most games,' Hudson said. This made it difficult to predict how well the game would run. The game uses the, based on the (previously developed by BioWare for use in ) but completely rewritten for Knights of the Old Republic.

It was highly detailed for its time: grass waves in the wind, dust blows across and puffs of sand rise as the player walks across the seabed.The choreography for the character animations was done using. Hudson noted that the differences between consoles and PCs mean that the graphics would have to be modified. 'You typically play console games on a TV across the room while PC games are played on a monitor only inches away.' Console games put effort into close-up action and overall render quality; PC games emphasize what can be done with high resolutions and super-sharp textures.

Hudson also noted that the difference between a game controller and mouse-and-keyboard setup influenced some design decisions. The PC version features an extra location the player can visit and more NPCs, items and weapons; these additions were later made available on the Xbox version through. The PC version supports higher display resolutions (up to 1600x1200) and has higher-resolution textures.

Sound While the main game, graphics engine and story were developed by BioWare, LucasArts worked on the game's audio. Knights of the Old Republic contains three hundred different characters and fifteen thousand lines of speech. 'One complete copy of the Knights of the Old Republic script fills up 10 5-inch binders,' voice department manager Darragh O'Farrell noted. A cast of around a hundred voice actors, including, and was assembled. 'Fortunately, with a game this size, it's easy to have an actor play a few different characters and scatter those parts throughout the game so you'll never notice it's the same actor you heard earlier,' O'Farrell said.Voice production started six months before the game's release. The voice production team were given the script 90% complete to work with. 'There were a few changes made during recording, but most of the remaining 10 percent will be dealt with in our pickup session,' O'Farrell said, 'The pickup session is right at the end of the project, where we catch performance issues, tutorial lines, verbal hints, and anything else that we might have overlooked.'

A game the size of Knights of the Old Republic would typically take seven weeks to record; two weeks of recording all-day and all-night meant LucasArts were able to record all voices in five weeks. Actors were recorded one at a time, as the non-linear nature of the game meant it was too complicated and expensive to record more than one actor at a time.Most of the dialogue recorded was spoken in (represented by ); however, around a tenth of the script was written in. Mike Gallo used 's Star Wars: Galactic Phrase Book & Travel Guide to translate English into Huttese. 'The key to recording alien dialogue is casting the right actor for the part,' O'Farrell said, 'Over the years I've had actors take to Huttese like a fish to water, but the opposite is also true. In the past I've had to line-read (when an actor copies my performance) 150-plus Huttese lines to an actor in order to make it work.' Award-winning composer was signed to compose the game's score.

'It will be a Star Wars score, but it will all be original, and probably the things that will remain will be and things like that,' Gallo said. Soule was unable to write a full orchestral score for Knights of the Old Republic due to technical limitations: 'At the time we only had an 8 per second system. That was state of the art. I had to fool people into thinking they were hearing a full orchestra. I’d write and, or woodwinds, and drums, or and drums.

I couldn’t run the whole orchestra at once, it was impossible.' Release When announced at E3 2001, Knights of the Old Republic was originally scheduled for a late 2002 release. In August 2002 it was announced on the game's forums that its release had been delayed: the Xbox version was to be released in spring 2003 and the PC version in summer 2003. A further delay was announced in January 2003, with both versions of the game expected to be released in fall 2003. Zeschuk attributed the delay to BioWare's focus on quality: 'Our goal is to always deliver a top-notch gameplay experience, and sometimes it can be very difficult to excel in all areas. We keep working on tackling each individual issue until we feel we've accomplished something special.' The Xbox version of Knights of the Old Republic on July 9, 2003 with a release date of July 15.

It sold 250,000 copies in the first four days of its release, making Knights of the Old Republic the fastest-selling Xbox title at the time of its release. Following the game's release, it was announced that free downloadable content would be available through Xbox Live at the end of the year. The PC version of the game went gold on November 11, 2003 and was released on November 18.

It was re-released as part of the collection in 2006.The game was released on on May 14, 2012 for Mac OS X. The game was released for the iPad on May 30, 2013. The iPad version includes the Yavin Station DLC that was previously released for Xbox and PC. The game was released as DRM-free download on in October 2014.The game was also launched on Android's Google Play Store on December 22, 2014.In October 2017, Microsoft made the console backward compatible with the version of the game, as part of a 13-game curated catalog.Reception Sales After its release on July 15, 2003, the first Xbox shipment of Knights of the Old Republic sold out within four days on shelves, which amounted to 250,000 sales during that period. This made it the console's fastest-ever seller at the time of its launch. The game ultimately sold 270,000 copies in its initial two weeks, and was ranked by as the #2 best-selling of its debut month across all platforms.

It fell to the 8th position on NPD's sales chart for August and was absent by September. Worldwide sales reached 600,000 copies by October.

In the United States alone, the Xbox version of Knights of the Old Republic sold 1.3 million copies and earned $44 million by July 2006. It also received a 'Silver' sales award from the, indicating sales of at least 100,000 copies in the United Kingdom.Following its launch in November 2003, the computer version of Knights became the third-best-selling computer title of its debut week, according to NPD. Although it dropped out of NPD's weekly top 10 by its third week, it claimed sixth place in computer game sales for November overall, and ninth for December. It returned to the weekly top 10 during the December 28-January 3 period, but was absent again on the next week's chart.

NPD ultimately declared it the 17th-best-selling computer game of 2004. By August 2006, the computer version had sold 470,000 copies and earned $14.7 million in the United States alone.
