Trivia
If you ask Kreia about what will happen to the Republic in the future, she will claim that the republic will fall over the course of 1000 years. This is referring to Star Wars: Episode III where, 1000 years after KOTOR 2 according to Star Wars continuity, Emperor Palpatine destroys the Republic and reforms it as the Galactic Empire.
The influence system that was introduced to the KOTOR series in this game was originally going effect the game far more than it did in the final version. Like the HK facotry and other things the time contraints forced Obsideon to scrapped most of the consequences of influencing certain characters to the Light or Dark Side. An example is that in the original version if you influenced Atton to the Dark Side he would KILL the deciple, and if you influenced him to the Light Side he would sacrifice himself to save the Exile and the rest of the Ebon Hawk crew. In the end, because of lack of time, the influence feature did little more than change the characters appearance (if the went to Dark Side) and gave them a little more attitude.
At the end of the game when the exile asks Kreia about the future she says something along the lines of "The Mandalorians die out over the course of millenia, until the only relic left of them will be a bounty hunter clad in their armor, killed all too easily by a Jedi.For you non-Star Wars freaks, she is reffering to Boba or Jango Fett (or both) from the Star Wars movies.
The events of the original game are relayed from the player to another character, giving the player the option to base the sequal on either ending the original game offered.
Was given a 12 month development timeline by LucasArts, an extremely short development time for a computer game.
A part of the cut material mentioned below was an entire planet inhabited by droids. Unfortunately, the entire planet was cut from the game due to time constraints, making several of HK-47's subquests impossible to complete and leaving a crucial subplot unresolved.
KOTOR2 was originally intended to have a longer more well developed ending involving the rest of your party members. However this was cut out and it is rumoured that Obsidian Entertainment was pressured to finish the game in time for the holiday season by Lucasarts. Many fans online are now petitioning to see that these "cut endings" are re-introduced back into the game in the interests of the storyline's continuity.
