Is there any way I could play KOTOR 2?

The game was published at least two versions of Windows ago (and I'm not sure how many Apple OS versions ago), and was already buggy as hell at release; I believe Steam runs on a VM and should resolve any compatibility issues with modern machines. You might still have to tweak it a bit (the help forum has some fixes), but it will be a lot more stable than running it off a CD, especially if you want to apply the restored content mod.

Okay, I'm willing to give it a try then. Question. What about cheat codes? How do those work? I do love my cheat codes.

I would recommend GoG, but that is me. I don't have as many compatibility issues with them as with Steam. Also, everything on Steam is tied to through their client app, so I don't know if you could install a mod or a patch if you wanted to.

For system requirements i use this [url]https://gamesystemrequirements.com/[/url] it will tell you how well a game will run on your system and it's pretty accurate, most of the time.

Huh, I didn't realize GOG had it; yeah, I agree, GOG is typically better than Steam for modding.

GoG also often hand-crafts a VM for older games and delivers it as part of the package (in particular they managed to get some games running on a DOSBox that noone else managed to get to work with any sort of decent performance) and, as far as I know, their KotOR 2-version should run on any modern computer.

Also, you can always check their forums (linked from the game-page), to see if there are any prominent problems, whether they are unresolved or have a solution from a tertiary site (e.g. you might still run into trouble, but deactivating the erm... was it the frame buffer for KotOR 2 on a few graphics cards, I think?).

As for modding, all the games on GoG are non-specialized and do not neccesitate the use of their client, so if the game is modable, you can bet your arse that you can use all the mods and fan-patches you want, without running into issues like it can be on Steam at times. This might be especially interesting for KotOR 2 in particular, given there's a rather large restored-content mod around for KoTOR 2.

Treat me as somebody who's learning disabled and had arrested development, because it's true.

If that's true, then sorry for my impatience/being annoyed on according occasions.

P.S.: GoG has the definitive advantage over Steam, that you do not need a specialized client to get the software. You can download it straight from the webpage through your account-library. Those downloaded packages can and explicitly are intended to be stored offline as well, if you so wish.

@Madner Kami Oh I recently got DOSBox but have trouble working it. I'm not a computer programmer, at all, so it's a bit confusing. I tend to focus more on the "creative/imaginative/emotional" aspects of anything rather than the technical details.

What about KOTOR 1? I've really wanted to play that for the longest time...

Nah, it's fine. I also am possibly Asperger's or some kind of personality disorder at least according to my psychiatrist. Never formally diagnosed. That said, I know I can be unbearable and insufferable, haughty and pretentious, arrogant, etc...
