There’s a point early one where the player is involved in a conversation where matters pertaining to KOTOR are discussed. Such as whether or not someone was a Jedi or Sith, male or female. The events of the first KOTOR will vary largely among players. During the Exile’s escape the player encounters Kreia, who after forming a Force bond with the Exile takes on a mentoring role.
As if being exiled wasn’t bad enough, the Exile begins the game under heavy sedatives on a cruiser being delivered to a crime syndicate known as the Exchange who put out a large bounty on live Jedis.
The new protagonist is a Jedi knight who was exiled from the Jedi Order, who will henceforth be referred to as the Exile. KOTOR II takes place five years after the events of the original, which is still in the ballpark of 4,000 years before any of the Star Wars movies. While the two rival forces were struggling to maintain their position at the top of the consoles after Microsoft’s Xbox hit them with some surprise exclusives, the new console doubled down on the success of KOTOR with Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. The Star Wars sequel helped ratify the claim that Xbox was a new console brand that has serious staying power, but eighteen years later with the console wars still waging between the three different empires, this Sith Lord has betrayed his Xbox master and Switches over to Nintendo’s current gaming platform. A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, Microsoft dealt a crushing blow in the console wars that set their enemies in Nintendo and Sony scrambling to maintain their galactic dominance.
