Kotor 2 Skipping Dialogue Bug ✌

Kotor 2 Skipping Dialogue Bug

If you play Kotor 2 to the end, you miss most of the stuff in the beginning. If you play the beginning, you miss most of the stuff in the end. You also miss a lot of what the game has to offer. Its not just a matter of the overlong short single player quest, its more than that.

However, the new engine in Kotor 2 changes all of that. The game is now slow, clunky and requires a big investment of time and money. Since Ive been playing most of Kotor 2 at low resolutions, I was beginning to get that old 1980s feeling. I mean I could manage to play through the adventure because I could just click a button until the screen would update to show that my next action was ready for me to make, rather than playing the game like a console shooter. I wasnt dying that much at any time and when I was, the game didnt even help, as it would just force me to start all over from a save file of the lowest difficulty.

When I finally installed the Kotor 2 patch, I started it up using the game installer just to see whether it did anything for my game. To my great surprise, it actually fixed a number of issues I was having. My combat systems were working well now, my save games were properly loading, no more crashing and the speech and text chat was working properly. My FPS was also significantly better.

However, I had a huge problem now. As soon as I started the game, the text box for my dialogue choices would just disappear. I would be unable to speak to anyone. If I went and spoke to the person, the text box would come back for a short while and then disappear.

Kotor 2 has so much content missing that it makes the original Kotor look small. At one stage in the game you can fight the female emperor, a non-interactive cutscene after the battle shows you the next area and the fight starts. As a result you never learn any of the bosses abilities, and because there are far more non-interactive cutscenes than actual dialogues, you never learn Kreias Backstab. But this is not the worst of it. Much of the Force Powers are removed completely from the game, and there are no useful skills or abilities attached to them. Some of the talent trees are no longer a thing in this game, and they come in a huge amount of talent levels. The Imperial talents seem to have been removed entirely too. This applies to the most powerful abilities as well as the ones that can actually be used in combat.
Also the game no longer has any way to grind objectives down. In the first game there was a bug that you could smash a trophy and actually get some random achievements if you did it right. The effect was so powerful that you could grind on objectives by doing low level wandering kills. But even after they fixed that the grind was possible in Kotor 2, because there were no objectives to grind down. In the first game you can just keep teleporting or fighting until you get your objective down as low as you want.
Its only after I had almost run out of actual episodes I finished Kotor 2. After the single New Republic victory at the end of the game, which is basically a forgone conclusion by the time I finished, I was kind of done with the game. I tried to work on the rest of the game, but had little interest in the sidequests and collecting. I wasnt sure if I really wanted a sequel yet, but Ill have to play Kotors other two games to see how it goes. I certainly didnt get to explore as much as I would have liked to in the game, but I did make a bit of progress. Now, lets get back to all of my problems.
