KOTOR2 missing content restored News
PC News by Robert Purchese
The Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II - The Sith Lords Restored Content project has entered open beta after years of development.
Instructions and download locations can be found on the Deadly Stream forum (spotted by EG reader Garthy).
The Restored Content project - as the name suggests - aims to reinstate much of the lost content found on the KOTOR2 disc but not in the game itself. The one year that developer Obsidian had to make a bigger and better sequel simply wasn't enough - that much was apparent at review.
The Restored Content mod, lead by "DStoney", isn't the only KOTOR2 restoration project out there. Team Gizka's arguably more ambitious Restoration Project has been around since 2005, and remains unfinished but playable, albeit in a rough form.
Team Gizka promises to finish the Restoration Project one day, although the voluntary nature of the task means the finish line may be a year or two away.

Awesome! Been waiting for this for ages. Then again it might be the other one. I remember someone from Obsidian actually saying they were looking forward to seeing the game done as they had originally intended.
Will be downloading this tonight. I re-bought the game a while back in anticipation for this. |

"[TG's] finish line may be a year or two away."
Uh, I think it's more of a question whether Team Giza will ever finish their project. Just check out this gem : http://forums.team-gizka.org/viewtopic.p... |

I have KoToR 2 and it runs fine on Vista aside from a couple of odd graphics glitches, but I seem to remember the same glitches being apparent when it first came out on Xp as well (along with an utterly annoying game-ending bug where a cut-scene wouldn't trigger after fighting the wookie), so I don't think its a Vista-compatibility issue.
Does the restoration project fix a lot of the bugs as well, or does it just re-insert the NPCs, quests, dialogue etc missing from the final build? |

@Lemming81, might be a "too many cooks" philosophy - by farming out smaller chunks of work to more people, they are increasing the risk that too many people will never get their bit finished. Plus judging on the guy's comments, he seems to view it as more of a personal pet project rather than something "for the community".

Massive kudos to the guys who worked on this project - I await the final product with bated breath.
