Unleash the Force in Style with KOTOR Remake's New Game Plus Extras

BioWare's RPGs have achieved massive success, creating franchises that rival even the biggest names in their respective science-fiction and fantasy genres. While all of their games have been successful, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic stands out for its unique and astonishing plot device reveal. After playing through as a customized protagonist, whose balance between light and dark is determined by the player, it is revealed that they were actually playing as an amnesiac Darth Revan the entire time.

While replaying KOTOR may not have the same level of shock value as the first playthrough, it can still be enjoyable to revisit the game and pick up on dialogue that was missed before. The upcoming KOTOR remake will provide players with the opportunity to do just that, and may even include special rewards for those who choose to replay the game in New Game Plus mode.

KOTOR’s Remake Should Gift Players Darth Revan’s Iconic Robes

In KOTOR, Revan's robes are not easily obtainable and can be overlooked depending on a player's affinity for the Force and their stat choices. Additionally, these robes can only be acquired towards the end of the game, making them a highly sought-after endgame gear piece for those who have aligned themselves with the dark side of the Force.

To enhance the KOTOR remake, there are two potential ways to introduce this gear piece. The first option would require players to acquire the robes in the same manner as the original game, which would primarily benefit fans who are familiar with the process. Alternatively, the robes could be automatically granted to players who have completed the game while aligned with the dark side. In either scenario, the decision to embrace the dark side would be crucial.

Obtaining Revan's robes in the game is a highly desirable goal for players, as it offers a unique gameplay experience. However, the current method of acquiring them through prerequisite stats can be complex and daunting for casual players. Allowing players to don the robes from the beginning of a New Game Plus playthrough would simplify the process and make it more accessible to a wider audience. Nonetheless, the current means of acquiring the robes remains satisfying and rewarding for those willing to invest the effort. However, it can be disappointing for players who miss out on them during their first playthrough and have to wait until reaching the end of the game to obtain them. This may discourage casual fans from attempting another playthrough solely for the sake of acquiring the robes.

Revan's robes could be given as a reward for completing the game on the dark side, allowing players to start a New Game Plus with the robes already in their inventory. The KOTOR remake has many options for implementing Revan's iconic armor and other classic features from the original game. Fans can reflect on the original game and consider which features they would like to see reinterpreted in the upcoming remake.
