I think his observation about the player and the party members is another reference to the gameplay itself. Like when Zez-Kai Ell talked about the player growing stronger through slaughtering across countless planets, he was clearly referencing leveling. The writers struck gold with this one.

Yeah its fun looking into this now, back when we were kids youtube or any sort of high bandwith wasn't a thing yet lol. I also went many nights without sleeping, just running around unlocking all the dialogue. Remember going around your ship and checking with all the NPC's to see if anything new was unlocked yet, even if you had only been off your ship for a few mins haha, everytime!
I came up with this conversation with my own sith leaning character. I talked to HK47 every chance I got, and used every ruthless dialogue. In one playthrough I quickly rebuilt him and brought him on every single mission I was able.
I just love that each of the Trio had these insane techniques and specific connections to the force that made them genuinely unique and terrifying Sith Lords.
Playing the game right now. Gonna use cheats to get hk early. Running with him on telos makes it quite fun I also love how hk understands the force. Like a tool. Runs with the theme
I actually really like how the writing takes the gameplay into consideration in this game. Like Kreia talking about experience, where when you take on other people's troubles onto yourself and steal their chances of growth, effectively draining their strength to become stronger yourself, and because you are a wound in the Force, you literally drain the life out of the people you kill and strengthen yourself.
I love how he has a better understanding of the connection force users have with the force than even Kreia, simply from hypothesizing on and observing how the force can make a target more difficult to assassinate, and require different methods
just shows how ready dark lord revan was too end the jedi and sith both. Truest chad of the galaxy. he had such intimate knowledge in how to break jedi and sith to their core early on in his life too the point he created entire death squads more effective then the entirety of order 66 considering there were less then 10 jedi in the galaxy after revans acolytes purged the order.
Very interesting...I'm playing a dark side playthrough right now....I've found a lot of fun stuff....plus I have TSLRCM installed and it makes it a lot more fun regardless of what people say lol...some of the changes are subtle but great
One thing I love about the HK factory is how if you do things out of order you can completely fuck yourself over and instead of a reload your save screen the game just continues.
Did you ever hear the story of darth sion the sweaty sock, he was so powerful in the force that he could even drink 8 pints of whisky and still have the power to drop his wife with a glasgow kiss.
Supposition: No matter how strong Darth Sion's connection to the Force and will to live, I find it highly implausible that he would be able to continue drawing on the Force to sustain his undeath without the ability to have thoughts. Vaporizing the entirety of the target's head would hypothetically be a most effective means of disrupting his connection to the Force, as it is unlikely that Darth Sion can channel the Force to sustain his body without a brain.
I can imagine in a Hard M rated remake, there'd at least be a cutscene in between phases of the boss fight showing all these deep wounds on his body knitting back together, including his hand almost coming completely off and hanging by a thread just to knit itself back on at the last moment. I mean, this guy tanks blaster bolts, lightsaber slashes, vibrosword gashes, and more and still keeps trucking.
Revenue understood the force in a way no one else did. Neither jedi or sith. He knew how both operated and how to defeat them. Whats even crazier is Vader proves him right. Vader killed more force users than anyone and he did it by constantly working in their mind during a fight to get them to doubt their abilities, beliefs, or their cause. Plus like reman Vader realized the flaws in both sides belief systems.
Revan was competent at using Force, but Kreia had way deeper understanding of it. She saw how it keeps galaxy in perpetual state of destructive wars and how Jedi and Sith are stuck on loop of mutual destruction. She was powerless to implement solution to that problem herself, but did try to teach someone else to do it instead.
Years later you always learn new thing about kotar and kotar two. I saw someone who recently posted they found out bao can be a jedi. So many possibilities and the community is so fun.
This was and is stilly favorite PC game and now I'm gonna have to play it all again lol. I just finished my first game using the restored content mod. Great video thank you
How did I not know this? Been playing 2 since release day, Xbox and pc. Modded and unmodded. Even nodded it myself quite a bit. But I never heard this. (By modded I mean skins like The Ebon Hawk. I personally had the red and black exterior and interior and this one as well for a time. I wanna say OddFlash made them, but I may have the name confused with someone else) and the restoration.

Glad I’m subbed more and more every video
yeah and there is also a secret quest on narshada on the docks in that room with a random back with a watchman blaster you need a ton of awareness and a specific class i forget if its scoundral or counsular, there are invisible people in that room.. there is also a way to get the droid interface to beat the droid in the race.. you need to get the gold coin from the aliens planet and give it to the guy who says he see buty in narshada and misses his home world. he gives you the interface that ehlps you avoide all objects and beat the robot in the swoop race
Would you be willing to make vids on how to attain influence with the different party members in KotOR2? Also, I remember getting the HK50 in the asteroid station to utter the engineer's (the one who got shot in the leg) code in his voice but can't remember how I did that. Can you find out, perhaps?
@@serpenthydra Aww nope, no cheats on Xbox. I feel your pain because that's originally the only platform I had it on as well. Set your charisma to at least 16 on Xbox. This should be enough to help your influence. Also, certain characters can be influenced to both sides of the force while certain others can really only be influenced toward the light or the dark. Visas and Atton can go light or dark. Handmaiden and Disciple pretty much stay light. Don't even bother with Krei.
Or you could pump dexterity, fully upgrade a pair of mando rippers, and get all the precise shot perks and just blast Sion to shit the old fashioned way. Disproving his other advice not to use blaster pistols against Jedi
omg so if this is also in the cannon kotor timeline that would mean Meetra (even tho she was probably right) could of been completely bullshitting sion at the end just to sow the doubt as convincingly as she could😨
A little unclear. Does this mean you can have the max influence "how to kill a jedi" chat with HK-47 before going to Korriban, and thus defeat Sion when you meet him there, before going to Malachor V ? I feel like that was the point of this video, but then which of those things come first get muddled.
You could also just beat sion w high enough persuade and erode is will via the light side. I was a consular w high persuade and a straight light side receptacle; w high will to match. I literally just thru whirlwinds and enlightened myself to death. Which at that point was just overkill. You cannot physically kill sion. You must convince him.
O.O Oh Holy crap they added an achieve for this?! I got this one my first run through way back when(Then again I'm also an obsessive completionist and did EVERYTHING I could find in game) Man I really have to set aside some time to properly play through the remake already....I'm no excited to go ham on achieves!
I've never liked the concept of these supposedly unkillable people in this universe because they are only unkillable under very specific and limited circumstances that the game forces upon you. There is a character in SWTOR with a similar shtick who "cannot die" because he is wearing body armor that regenerates his wounds. But you know, in both games, light sabers are essentially big batons that you bludgeon people to death with and don't actually cut like lightsabers. That armor would be fucking destroyed with a couple of swipes with a lightsaber and no longer function. As for Darth Scion, it was his focus and willpower that kept him alive. So just cut his head off, and cut it into a few separate pieces. And boom, his brain is no longer able to have willpower in the first place to keep himself alive anymore. None of this would exist in a setting that wasn't a video game because video games always make lightsabers into batons... Lightsabers do not cut at all, they bludgeon. Star Wars games are very unsatisfying in that regard.
that is a good point. i wonder if they do it that way because if the lightsaber dealt that type of blow it would ruin the mechanics of the gameplay. i bet they tried to get it to work that way but it never played right. at least i hope so
@@dominicklittle9828 Unfortunately, video game combat systems are always based on archaic tabletop RPG combat systems and follow the same general shtick of every enemy just being a bag of hit points. If they allowed bladed weapons to actually cut, it would mean cutting off body parts and rendering the enemy helpless and bleeding out in just a few successful swings, when they instead want you to beat on this enemy for some amount of time and burn through its hit points as you collect weapons with higher and higher damage numbers to counter the higher and higher hit point pools of the enemies. Simultaneously, they make armor incredibly stupid in how it functions because it either reduces the chance you are hit or it reduces the damage you receive when hit, regardless of where you are hit, even if you're wearing bikini armor that provides no actual protection. Imagine a game that had actual cutting weapons that could dismember enemies. And rather than having hit points, enemies died when they bled out from injuries or suffered catastrophic organ damage like to the brain or heart. Such systems DO exist in games like RimWorld where a given entity can lose body parts and only die when they lose enough blood from their injuries or major organ damage, but outside of that i've never seen any kind of RPG-ish game try to emulate such a system. I guess its just an unfortunate side effect of people associating all that stuff together... Collecting increasingly more powerful gear, leveling up skills, an having hit points and weapons that bludgeon people instead of cutting them. Where bleeding is a debuff applied by certain special attacks and stops on its own after a few seconds lol. Maybe one day... Of course then you also have to consider the greed vs angry mothers aspect. Companies want to make as much money as possible, so they aim for children's ratings in movies and video games to reach a larger audience. If you had a game where you could lop people's arms off and watch them bleed to death, it would get a mature rating and cut into their bottom line. Just another example of capitalism fucking everything up.

And to think....this game that still holds content easter eggs for us all nearly two decades after its release......was only like 60% of the game the developers actually wanted to make.
Can we take a moment to appreciate Darth Sions voice? Whoever chose to cast a Scottish Sith & add the modulation to his voice is a genius
TBH the whole game is genius, sad that it didn't get all the time it needed to be properly done.

on a side note too kreia's voice actor sarah kestleman was spot on too. She projected conviction and wisdom.

This game makes a lot of meta-references as part of the narrative. Like, they reference the companion influence system and the leveling system.

@@TheDrexxus damn dude thank you for writing all that out. hopefully some day people will make a light saber game, probably in vr or somethin like that where you actually have hands to move around. ive never tried vr so all i can do is imagine it. ive tried to play kotr cause it was my brothers fave game and i know how good it is since he played it non stop, but the gameplay i could never stick with it. capitalism does tend to have that effect but the alternatives dont seem to be able to sustain themselves because of human nature. but idk im just a nineties kid.
decapitation is hard to heal from
I have to go and play this now over elden ring lol 😆
man i cant wait for the remake
Ah..Defeat a Sith psychology, reminds me philosophical greek tales.
That's kinda the thing tho, if he's angry enough, you can't kill him. You could atomize him, but he'd still reform.
HK is always on my team, everygame
HK-47 for president!
And to think....this game that still holds content easter eggs for us all nearly two decades after its release......was only like 60% of the game the developers actually wanted to make.
This isn't new dude. Pretty old, honestly. I was thinking he modded a new response or earlier one. Nope.
Just realizing that the voice for HK is the same person who narrates the S.P.E.C.I.A.L Vault-Tec videos in Fallout 4.
No way
You sound a lot like Carth Onasi
He really does!
I actually got all of the achievements for this game on steam
The low lack of completion is probably due to everyone having played through on Xbox, and then just playing it on steam for nostalgia.
Were you part of Fandom Games channel? Your voice sound really familiar.
Yeah! I helped run it back when it was Curse Entertainment. Good ear!
@@DarkLOREDash I heard your voice from Fallout 4 videos haha
T3 casually rolls about
ive played this game a few times, but i had no idea sion can be on malakor. ive literally always made sion give up.
ah the lore origins of endure in ffg
How to kill a jedi: Explosives
Me seeing the achievement that only 3.9% of people have... I gotta check my steam!!! I GOT IT!!!
HK is the most badass Droid in all of star wars.
And before him there was ig88 in the expanded universe material. But yeah I'd say hk47 is obviously the deeper character at this point.
Is that robe a mod?
I am one of the 3.9% of the people who unlocked the "How to kill a Jedi" achievement.
Darth Simon is such a goofy name
I don't trust Steam achievement percentages....
"You started the game for the first time"
5% of players unlocked this achievement
Yeah, 3,9% seems like the right number for steam sheep.
You’re all welcomed.
Ahh HK -47
