After the studio moved on to other projects, a group of fans began working on the PC, promising to bring the final version of the game as close to Obsidian’s original vision as possible. And for the most part, they succeeded in that goal, with the PC version of The Sith Lords the definitive way to experience Knights of the Old Republic II†
