Thank you for the DeadlyStream community for the mods and the individual people that made those awesome mods. - Hry
After quite some time, I've updated the description with all the mods used.
You may see a Female Twi'lek Exile on some cuts, that's Female Twi'lek Exile by Stoffe

Have you heard of a Trandoshan Revan?
Its even spookier when you realize HK-50 was already sabotaging the Harbinger and silently murdering its crew members before the Sith snuck aboard. Even without the Sith arriving, that ship and its crew were already doomed.
And then carry’s out the massacre at peragus and basically had you til Kraia wakes you and the sith attack
I loved the Harbinger level, it was so mysterious and creepy. An unfortunate ship and crew answer a distress call and a Sith comes aboard. I loved that the back story was told through logs and the player's troupe arrive on a deserted, failing ship. great example of how Star Wars can fit a horror setting.
@Isaiah George Be one of the miners and experience the downfall of Peragus. Or a Republic Soldier before you die against a Sith.
@Isaiah George I had a nightmare about the harbinger myself in a horror game like setting.
A Star Wars horror film of this story would be amazing. :D
Even without the mods to make the station and ship gloomier, it was still chillingly sterile in its appearance, which I think I prefer. The dead and the wreckage seemed scarier in plain sight.
Thanks! Yes. 😀 👍
So sad that some people don´t like it or even skip that and Taris in KOTOR 1.
This is so eerie once you realize everyone of these people are dead.
Except Carth :)
It’s pretty easy to realise that
@@jacktheflash8478 Not for a 7 year old, that how old I was when I first played this game in 2005.
And then Milo Surik was absorbing the energy from the dead bodies, and this was 1 month after Kreia regenerated her severed left hand.
@@Fernando5455Jr late reply but yeah, played this game as a 10 year old. This game was soooo hard, couldnt get past the first missions on the station XD.
Had a torrent of it on a chipped xbox my dad had, such a weird time, buying cheap cd's off a friend of my dads to play triple A games on the cheap.
The whole Peragus section would work well as a self-contained horror game.
The HK-50's efficiency was nothing short of unnerving. He killed an entire mining colony with so little effort...
Well any droid based on HK-47 should at least be capable of that much. Otherwise they'd be more of an insult than they already are to their progenitor unit.
Hk50 had help tho
I still don’t understand how he gassed them. He caused the explosion, that damaged the vents and what? Core exhaust seeped in?
Imagine someone bumping into this without context.
They'd see a routine mission to a politically charged planet turned taxi for a Jedi Exile turned surprise creepy horror flick involving the Star Wars version of the Too Angry to Die meme suddenly turn into a slow burn slasher set in an asteroid mining facility, in which a guy tries everything to get rich behind the authority whilst droids start killing people, and everything points towards the maintenance officer being the mastermind, only to reveal that the "protocol" droid from all the way back in the Harbinger sequence is the true mastermind, shortly followed by everyone else dying.
Talk about crazy.
A little crazy
Now that you put it that way, i must say, i have no fucking idea how that storyline worked as well as it did.
But fuck man, the atmosphere and story of Peragus was so well executed... i mean, yeah, it's linear, got no choices, it's a chore to replay, but it's still incredibly memorable, filled with so many small details throughout.
That Sullustan guy was so nice... He was probably the best guy on the whole station, lol
I love this opening because it establishes how absolutely dangerous the HK-50s and the Sith are. The HK didn’t even have to fire a shot and it did A LOT OF DAMAGE.
No flex tape can fix that kind of damage.
That's alot of damage
I love how the captain just pauses when he learns about the Sith warship. Brilliant writing. Obviously doesn't want to have to deal with the Sith after the Jedi Civil War and not worth risking an entire crew over a distress beacon, which could be an obvious trap (which it sort of was).
I remember my 1st playthrough... I was scared af when I wandered thru mining tunnels, and when I hit the Harbinger.... Holy...
Same here - Just goes to show how immersive and awesome this game was. The music, cutscenes, and holologs were all very well done.
Before watching this video I didn't realize that the HK-50 imitated the maintenance officer's voice to talk to Coorta, or that he changed the sensor into the translator and tracking device mentioned by HK-47 later in the game.
Me too!
The scariest thing is, back then, it was science fiction. Now, on the other hand, there are already AI capable of copying people's voices.
@@awesomebearaudiobooksreality is often stranger than fiction.
I don't know why, but these new models make the mining droids so much more terrifying when they enter the room to kill Coorta and his crew
I guess it’s the way they were walking in that creeps me out!
@@CloneCommanderRN well the last mining droids actually LOOKED like battle droids. These actually do look like something you'd see in a constructive setting. Almost like a hammer getting up and bashing you on its own...
It's a mod for the original mining droid designs during development, it really enhances the atmosphere using it.
I always loved the idea that you had enemies from two sides in this game, especially on Peragus with Sion and his Sith coming for you and HK 50 and the droids after you. It made for such an interesting beginning and overall story
Too bad many people don't appreciate Peragus, though...
@@MegaIllusiveMan true I mean on the one hand story wise and settings its pretty good. I love kotor 2 its one of my favourite rpgs but even I have to admit starting the game and knowing I have to go thru peragus again is rather off-putting just cos of its length. After that tho smooth sailing.
This is some of star wars' best writing.
The way the models look is pretty interesting. And I like how this was done. Its like a proper story
Oh it was ❤
This plot could be a feature length horror movie in the Star Wars universe. Disney needs to relinquish all creative control to the writers of the KOTOR series
I find it kinda humours that these logs are so griping and tense and help to fill in so much backstory for us... and about 10 years later the very same developer would be making fun of this trope in South Park: The Stick of Truth.
I kinda admire the members of the crew who stood against, or at least refused to help, Coorta’s attempt to sell the Exile to the exchange. It’s a shame that Carth’s (or whoever that other Admiral from the Republic) in the DS storyline) order to transport and protect the Exile ultimately cost them their lives. Very sad. No good or honourable deed goes unpunished.
From the perspective of the crew, this whole little scenario would have made a fun little Star Wars short horror film.
Thanks for making this! It’s quite a trip down memory lane for me; when I was a kid this whole section of the game scared the ever loving fuck out of me. Such a well-written and atmospheric game!
You're welcome! Glad you liked it :)
Glad to know I am not the only one!
This makes a lot more sense now that they're in order. I feel like a proper movie or comic strip should be made of Kotor 2, with this whole sequence as the opening but happening in real time
RIP to the Peragus crew 😢
And the Harbinger crew
It took me the longest time to realise the HK-50 was imitating the Maintenance Officer having worked alongside him in developing voice commands for the mining droids.
I just thought it was pretending to be some random not-seen person..
That's probably why he was asking so many questions. Not to learn about the facility, but to copy and parrot his voice! Imagine talking to something that has the capability to mimic your voice and mannerisms for the sole purpose of framing you for murders disguised as accidents.
They voted out the maintenence officer even though he was crew :(
I played this game several times as a kid, but I never fully understood what was going on behind the scenes, especially with the logs. I actually ended up skipping quite a few. Now, almost two decades later, I still get to enjoy new details about one of my favourite Star Wars stories.
Maintenance is the dumbest man alive, he straight up notes HK can copy voices and was set to work on the droids, yet doesn't put 2 and 2 together.
HK-47 puts it best, a lot of people think of droids as furniture who only exist to serve, and any weird behavior at most only makes them think they need a memory wipe. Though yeah, the maintained officer was pretty dumb even then given HK's weird choices of wording, something HK-47 also pointed out about the HK-50s, hints of their true nature keep showing through in their actions.
Would you expect your toaster to start mimicking you?
@@-CrimsoN- if I knew it could and had demonstrated the capacity to, then yeah I would.
Let's not forget that he says that he doubts the mining droids couldn't possibly hit any of them, despite the fact there were miners in medbay BADLY INJURED BY SAID DROIDS! The dumb sod doesn't realize the full danger until was burning through his leg.
Coorta? Coorta, are you dead yet?
Smug statement: Did I forget to mention that I reversed the turbo lift codes in case you actually managed to get this far.
This section feels more like Alien than Star Wars
This feels like something straight from Aliens. Great film.
If Star Wars was a scary movie
This was a perfect way to set the tone for the rest of this game. Nothing like Revan’s story.
The great Enon Hawk damaged and drifiting.
Our hero nearly killed in the beginning.
Awakens in a ghost station where everyone is dead
Ends up dealing with massacring droids, super powerful sith lords, and being attacked by a dead republic ship
The tone has been set. In this game there are alot more grit and darkness and danger everywhere. Nobody is really safe.
My first reaction to the Captain sending an security team to the med lab was a real surprised, "O N E????"
I remember this part of game feeling very creepy and even scary at times. When running through the facility I found it very unnerving. When the Harbinger part came up I felt particularly freaked out especially knowing that the enemies were all invisible and could be right in front of the party at a moments notice. The music definitely helped keep the tension up.
And the knowledge that there's a broken corpse walking medietating somewhere.
cool compilation! it's an unpopular opinion, but i think peragus doesn't get the credit it deserves. it's extremelly well crafted and paced, and sets the darker tone for this game.
Great video, thanks so much for uploading! Mustve been hard to get everything in chronological order like that
It was all worth it! Thank you for your kind comment :D
Peragus first experience is amazing but the 2nd and 3rd and so on is just massive pain in the ass
Yeah it plus Telos are more of a grind than Taris basically
The maintenance officer sounds like Coach McGuirk from Home Movies, H. Jon Benjamin
lmao "mocking query:coorta coorta are you dead yet?"
In all my years playing kotor2, I dont think I ever encountered the holo’s of the Sullustan with Coorta, where do you find the logs? Great vid, really put into perspective the utter despair of the situation for the miners, I always loved the Peragus and Harbinger levels, such a great start to a game.
You need to check one of the refreshers on the dormitories.
Star wars will never be this mature again.
Because canon fans aren’t interested in gritty, gray stories with anti heroes and iconic villains.
The maintenance officer should have known what was going on.
It’s been almost twenty years since I first played this game on launch, and I still have nightmares from Peragus and the Harbinger.
It feels to me like these holo logs are being played in different rooms in the facility or ship. Almost like they’re having conversations in completely separate rooms.
This is great! Thankyou so much
Awesome editing
Thanks for giving the chronological story order
All i can say is well done. The effort into making this video was amazing. Miss KotOR 2. Especially with the Restored Mod
When i was young i was stupid and never was able to leave peragus and so this soundtrack and the whole ambience is very nostalgic to me
They couldn't find the impostor, so he won xD
"At least the air scrubbers are still working"
2 seconds later
"Wait, whats happening to the ventilation????"
lmao
I always had this doubt. If the Harbinger was sent to search and rescue the Exile. Who was inside the Ebon Hawk aside from Kreia? They are talking about more than one people in it, dead people. And secondly, how Kreia ended up in the Ebon Hawk?
The Force works in mysterious ways...
They weren’t really rescuing her. They were just taxiing her to Telos.
Excellent video. The horror-esque audio logs were always a highlight of Peragus IMO.
Though just out of curiosity, why is the video quality so terrible in the first minute? Just a nitpick, but I'm still curious
Hey, thanks for the comment! The first log, IIRC, was actually while I was experimenting with the recording options, since KotOR 2 is kinda wonky with its widescreen options. I kinda improved it as it went, but maybe forgot to check for the first one, lol.
I love these.
Damn that was dark 24:15
i remember listening to this in december 2020 while doing my homework because it made me relaxed for some reason lmao
I've played this game so many times. It makes me so nostalgic, especially the music. I miss when star wars told good stories....
great job
This game definitely needs a remaster!
Peragus was my favourite part of the game. The whole story has enough pieces to the puzzle that I still enjoy re-assembling it every few years and getting as clear a picture of what happened in my mind as possible.
And of course spending ten minutes on nothing but talking to an obstructive but smug HK-50.
Cool mods.
You and Frankie Looch have the best KOTOR content may the force be sith you
Thanks, friend! MTFBWY
*At last, some action!*
23:55
Exile: "I don't care if you're a hologram: Don't you dare touch me there!"
Thanks for making this video!! I had never thought of viewing this in chronological order before so this is quite the resource.
One question, I never found the log where the “maintenance officer” (HK-50) and Coorta have their first conversation regarding a contact and passage off the station. Where is that log found? Is it in a datapad or in a terminal somewhere? Also, is it a part of TSLRCM, or base game? Thanks in advance!
Hey, thanks! I saw your comment before, but It has been a while since I've booted TSL again, so I forgot and decided to hold the answer until I get there. But since I've taken too long, I've looked it up and found the answer.
The log itself is indeed part of the base game. You can find it on Coorta's Body, near the locked turbolift. You then return to the dormitories terminal and plug it there. IIRC, it is somewhat encrypted, so you need to have some certain skill to be able to play it, but I'm not sure about this last part.
I find it interesting how in both the Old Republic Era and the Rebellion Era Jedi are seen as beings of incomprehensible power capable of burning cities to ash simply by being there in the eyes of people. It's rather interesting how Jedi are demonized not just once, but twice... possibly more.
Also it's amazing that it took only one droid... *one. damn. DROID.* to completely destroy a facility. Good grief I hope AI never get's this advanced or we as a species are fucked.
I think the Jedi Civil War hurt the image of the Jedi a lot since many if not all of the Sith in that war were former Jedi. Like on Dantooine they view them horribly despite the fact that they were always helping them.
“The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the force.”
And Sion and Nihilius aren’t powerful. They’re abominations. Where Anakin was a miracle child, those two were outrages against nature. Demons. Monsters.
@@Batou3 Sion might be abomination, but he is closest to fully immortal in Star Wars. Force ghost like Obi-Wan can only haunt the living and use verbal manipulation. Sion can act on his own accord.
I was never able to pass Peragus when i was a kid, because i had no english in those days
And I must admit that these stories are well written
I don't hate SW Sequels but Peragus and Harbinger are even better than the sequels
What language if I mind asking
@@maleexile9053 Turkish
@ interesting I know on steam there's some mods for the tslrcm for different languages
@@maleexile9053 And now, Turkish language for KOTOR 2 has been released
I've never seen the log with Carth on the harbinger. So many little details that are so easy to miss.
Whether you'll see him depends on what you've established in the first conversation with Atton when you ask him about the Mandalorian Wars and the Jedi Civil War. If you say "I was led to believe that Revan saved the Jedi and the Republic", it means you're following the timeline where Revan was on the light side in the previous game. So in this timeline, Carth will appear in the Harbinger logs and two more times throughout the game.
@@SmuggumsMcGeeThat's interesting.
That was awesome….and creepy.
Man this brings back so many memories. This is as close to horror side of star wars as we get.
Also, an dumb question i apologize for it but how did Atton even got in there? Is there something i missed? It's just something i haven't known much of.
Many people theorize that he was the pilot Coorta searched for smuggling the exile off Peragus,, and others have also theorized that he was posing as one of the miners because he was laying low after the war and somehow got caught.
Either way, it was never confirmed, but there are some counterpoints and some valid speculation for both arguments.
www.reddit.com/r/kotor/comments/b6ctlu/why_is_atton_imprisoned_on_peragus/
I have watched this multiple times.
Well, thank you!
The more you think about it the more unsettling it gets you awakened to a eerie faint whisper just so see dead bodies on a asteroid space station with no explanation why u less you look into it and then once you finally start to understand what happened the droids are trying to stop you from leaving another ship shows up and no one knows what happened to that one either yea instant chills then to aboard the ship to a dimly lit corridors more bodies and literally nothing else but cloaked assassins who don’t communicate with eachother the most you’ll get out of them is a sound from death if that’s not fear/suspense I don’t know what is
Wonder what Malachor 5 would look like with these mods
If I play this game again, I'll turn off the music.
Why haven't they remade this using the mods? It will work along with the restored content
Because the restored content only restores stuff, it doesn't add on change something on the core game that wasn't either on the development notes or the files they left for modders on the game's disk.
How did you get VarsityPuppet's Peragus Tweak mod to work? That mod has a lot of issues and prevented me from properly activating the logs on the terminals
Well, I can safely say that there's no issue with it since I've been able to play the game with it a couple of times.
Usually, when there are errors on log files, they are attached with .dlg files. Maybe something went wrong there?
I'd like someone to do an animation/mod video, showing the events of Peragus and the Harbinger.
love so mutch this ambiant, hope the remake dont fuck it
I don’t understand. So the explosion damaged the ventilation system but how would breaches in the core exhaust conduits cause the gasing?
The part that confuses me is during your time on the harbinger the exile states she was living on board even had a room she went unconscious after reporting to medical to receive treatment then she wakes up on Peragas so from what I understand kreia and T3 were left with the ebon hawk prior to Kotor 2 and landed onboard the harbinger to rescue the exile recovering her before Sion did.
Some of the missing pieces of the story come from talking to HK-50 in the fuel Depot: He basically brags to you about how he sabotaged the Harbinger (this is before anyone gives you an indication that the Sith are involved), poisoned The Exile, and had to chase down someone else (T3 and Kreia?) who evacuated the Exile to the Hawk to abandon ship.
Supposedly, adding onto what Parker said, yes. Atris summons the Exile to return to the known galaxy. Kreia finds out & attempt to intercept her, knowing that Sion & Nihilus would be looking for her as well. Revan took the Ebon Hawk with him into the Unknown Regions to battle the True Sith, bring HK-47, T3-M4, & Canderous with him. Canderous was tasked with reuniting the Mandalorians & left the party, while HK-47 was badly damaged & sealed within the Ebon Hawk, & T3-M4 was left behind when Revan was captured by the True Sith, leaving T3 essentially in command of the Ebon Hawk. The Exile was located by the Republic & was being transported to Telos in the Harbinger. At this point, like Parker said, HK-50 was sabotaging the Harbinger in order to redirect its course to Nar Shadaah, however the distress signal from the Ebon Hawk delayed things. Harbinger picks up the Ebon Hawk, & when the Sith attack the Harbinger crew, Kreia & HK-50 somehow managed to bring the drugged Exile with them to the Ebon Hawk & escape. The missing link here is where Kreia came from. T3 had possession of the Ebon Hawk & COULD have had Kreia present, but this is not confirmed. It is also just as likely that she boarded the Harbinger, or snuck onto the Harbinger during the docking with the Sith Warship.
@@Yrrej8611 She must have come in at some point in the middle of this since the Harbinger had the Ebon Hawk in its hanger or docked to it. They said that everyone onboard was dead so unless she was in her death trance, I don't think she was there yet. My guess is that Kreia sneaked her way on board during the havoc and found the Exile. I assume she had a team with her since there was a bunch of bodies on the ship, unless of course they were the bodies the Harbinger found and they didn't bother cleaning it up.
@AdeptKing I watched a video where kreia mentioned some of the details of her interaction with the harbinger. Kreia stated she snuck aboard the harbinger, found meetra, & escaped in the ebon hawk. She snuck on board at some point. The most plausible thing I can think of was when the republic first located meetra & brought her aboard is when kreia snuck on, using the force to hide herself & on those who would have spotted her like using mind trick.
So Idk how you did it but thats f***ing terrifying. Is it available on Steam?
The mods? Usually through the Workshop.
If you're talking about the game, it sure is
@@MegaIllusiveMan Oh I meant like the specific mod you used
@@Nephalem2002 Oh, sorry!
I don't know, to be honest. Usually, some of Deadly Stream mods are available through the workshop, but you would have to refer to that specific mod or even about installing mods via steam.
It seems that installing various mods via workshop is not that viable, so people usually look for the individual downloads through the website.
Sorry I can't be of much help, I had KotOR II for a long while, and that's the somewhat rare 4 CD Version I'm using.
What’s up with the battlestar galactica droids
God Peragus and telos are such a slog when trying to show my friend this game
Wish they incorporated the mods into the mobile app for your smartphone or tablets, I bought the app on my android phone
Some of them are there. Folks at Deadly Stream managed to do that with the Restored Content Mod.
Why did they change the look of HK-50?
It's from the TOR HK Skin Pack by Kainzorous Prime + the DarthParametric files over at Nexus Mods. To be honest, there are some mnods that don't change the appearence itself, it only tweaks the quality here and there, but I found the mod so cool that I had to use them.
How did kreia come onto the ship

What are the mods being used for the Holograms and the bodies?

If only this level wasn't so long.
Only because we are lightly armed and in our first few levels
24:09-24:10 25:25-25:24-25:01 24:00
The HK-50s are acting on behalf of Goto right?
Yeah. There's a bounty on Jedi in the game if I recall.
Wow this is creepy
Why did you end some lines early?
Not me. Some logs end abruptly, as they cut out on static or are just corrupted.
For some reason when I start KOTOR 2 the holograms appear as normal people instead of grayish blue wavelengths.
Usually that's a v-sync issue. You could check if it's off on your options.
@@MegaIllusiveMan I already tried that, but nothing has changed. And it's not just the holograms that are weird. The alignment music that normally plays when you get LS or DS points doesn't play either.
Where did you get these mods?

@@luigirock96 Currently, I'm replaying the game, so I did some retweaking to the mods (that way I can take care of some stuff that aren't compatible between them). It's over 100 mods, but I may see a way of listing them all some time in the future.
After quite some time (and apologies for that, lol), I've finally updated the description!

They won't! Deadly Stream files have always been safe to use and need to pass an approval system to even be uploaded and shown there.
Plus, those mods come from very active people on the community that have been modding for years and have that bonus trust in case anyone is unsafe about the process.

Oh no, I just did separate playthroughs and recorded Carth's transmission and put it over Cede's
I think Carth becomes an admiral regardless, if he was alive anyway.
@@AdeptKing He does! But him appearing on the transmissions instead of Cede is decided by Revan's allignment that you choose while talking to Atton while he's on his cell. If it's a dark side Revan, Cede appears, Light Side is Carth
