KOTOR Ultimate Gameplay Rebalance

Description
SithLord_Darkon brings us a very extensive modification for the original Knights of the Old Republic game which aims to completely completely re-balance the way that the game is played. This literally changes many of the mechanics of the Knights of the Old Republic from your PC and parties characteristics to the enemies they face to the armour you and your party wear. The author says from the first Sith Troopers you face on the Endar Spire to Darth Malak on the Star Forge, the enemies you will fight have all be individual changed.

Essentially the point of this mod is to fundamentally change the KotOR experience for the player, and the author aims to remove various facets of game-play which had annoyed them. In scope this is a massive modification for the game, and as such proves somewhat difficult to review. The author must be praised for the scope and aim of this modification, if you will like it will depend on what you of course think of the original vanilla game mechanics. If your looking for a challenge and more realistic combat then this modification may well be for you.

I shall quote the author to further explain the aims of the mod; \"This mod aims to completely change the mechanics of playing KOTOR. Extensive modifications are made to almost every area of the game, including but not limited to: areas, weapons, armour, characters, feats, Force powers, style of game-play. Most areas of the game are altered, and every single character you get to fight is modified. The mod also adds new weapons, enemies, and much more... comprehensive list of details in Readme.\"

I can only encourage those interested in this modification to read the readme as this modification truly is large in scope and does change an awful lot of in-game material which will change the manner in which you experience the game. This does come with the drawback that it will prove incompatible with a lot of other mods out there, this was exacerbated I think by not using TSLpatcher; I think often people don\'t know all the different things that TSLpatcher can do, it can even merge gff (utc, utp) files. Though a modification such as this would be best off being first in the Override, and then having other modifications installed on top of it. All in all this is a most impressive and interesting mod, which is worthy of being checked out.
