M4-78 Enhancement Project (M4-78EP)

Not sure where to post so devs can see, but hopefully this feedback helps
GOOD:
- 1-2hr content added
- Beautiful landing pad vista, glowing vents in industrial walkway.
- ++Use of droid companions, with perma upgrades.
- Potential as future must-install
- Passion project

CHANGE:
- Layout. Long linear path makes traversal a chore, even with Master Speed/escort. Quest NPCs scattered all along it in the open.

Suggestion? Branching path+buildings to compartmentalize.
Early blocked section of IS already has 3 doors, 2 unused. Re-allocate 1 to R&D building, with separate rooms for droid tests.1 to maintenance. 1 to Archon.

- "Talk to IS-88" WHO? WHERE? Descriptive names for all quest npcs are a must "IS-XX Research Leader"

- Wildly varied voice fx. Some protocolers have nice robotic filters. Some none at all, just a guy talking. One uses a T3 voice...

- Decision pitfalls. Finishing main quest permanently seals off droid repair quest without warning, leaving it in questlog forever.

I appreciate the staggering amount of effort put in to restore this planet, but I just can't recommend this mod. Sadly, M4-78 was clearly cut for good reason. The planet is incredibly dull and the aggravation you will experience while playing it just isn't worth it. KOTOR II is a better game without M4-78.

DO NOT INSTALL THIS OR THE COMBINED ONE WITH THIS MOD.

it is ridiculously boring, the modders should be ashamed of not putting a warning that this will ruin hours of your gameplay.

As many of the other recent posts have said, this was not very fun and involved a lot of running around for nothing. I, too, wouldn't recommend this unless you're really looking for more 'content' and don't care what that entails. Regardless, I applaud the work that went into making this even though I didn't like and wished I didn't start it.

Lol this mod ruined my current playthrough. What a waste of time :)

Do this: Right click game, properties, local files, browse. look for SWKOTO2.ini under [Game Options] add "EnableCheats=1" then launch game, get into game and when you get to this world do: `turbo If you dont you will spend 2 days walking around this map alone. Also go find a walk through this is confusing, back and forth, and not worth it really. I dont enjoy it.

My game crashed during the cutscene where you talk to IS-24, the leader droid in the Industrial Sector. Please fix

Yes while it works better together you could also take it separately.

the combined mod seems to be broken rn, it dosent chage anything or show up at all, can i install this version with a TSLCRM sepratly and still have it all work?

I wrote something longer, but there is a character limit, so I'll try to be briefer:

I applaud the effort put in here: this was an ambitious project, I did not experience any major bugs, and getting to experience Vash as having a story rather than throwaway is something special.

My main issue is it's not linear enough in the kotor way. If you'll notice, most of kotor involves exploring a map and doing stuff along the way, with little retracing of your steps. This, in contrast, feels sort of like being a corporate lackey being sent back and forth on errands by a series of never-ending middle managers. There's a certain charm to the rampant confusion of it, but for me, not enough to overcome the genuine experience of being confused and tired. Maybe if it was a game with quest markers, I'd just laugh, instead I checked my quest log like never before and sighed.

I'd prefer if it was more tight and precise than ambitious and unwieldy, but either way, it's an incredible modding feat.
