Nah The Old Republic is why we never got a 3rd KotOR. Same reason why we don’t have Elder Scrolls 6 or GTA6. Why would they make a new game when they’re still making a shitload of money off mmo games that people are still playing years later?
As soon as I found out The Old Republic had a subscription fee I knew KotOR was doomed.
The website still makes it look like there’s a subscription and “cartel coins” to buy. I tried to free sometime in the past 10 years and the free mode felt limited. I think you can’t sprint , or something insulting like that?
SWTOR is KOTOR3 for me.
Similar story telling, setting, dialogue, choices, morals and powers.
Only they added multiplayer and a cosmetics shop.
Oddly it’s probably become less KOTOR over time, compared to how it was at launch.

I hated how it played though. And there was so much filler. And a subscription fee. And no mods.
To be fair, they made it free to play 13 years ago, less than a year after release.

Choices meant even less than in KOTOR and KOTOR2 too.
Fair enough, each to their own!
I didn’t feel it played too different to the originals, much of the filler was fun and the fee is optional, so I loved the game.
I’ve never looked into mods for the first two, except the restoration project, so have no opinion on that point!
Is SWKOTOR still alive? I kept thinking that they shut it down
Nah, it’s been passed off by the Studio to smaller maintenance company, who are doing some nice stuff with it.
New stories keep getting added, though perhaps they’re not of the same quality as the originals!
And then the eternal empire happened 😕
Cool sci-fi concept, but didn’t feel very star wars to me.
That was really a bad move, in hindsight.
Painted themselves into so many corners they’ve never gotten back out of.
What was the eternal empire?
A plot device added to give the player somewhere to conquer / liberate.
A hidden empire that rivals the empire and republic, ruled by a powerful force user and with access to advanced technology.
