Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II - The Sith Lords (2022)

There's a balanced presence of ethnic groups with humans among loads of alien species. There are over a dozen male and female character models to choose from that include (presumably) African-American, Asian, and Hispanic options. Disputes involving cultural differences and racism between aliens and humans prompt the player to investigate each side of these stories, along with the sources of these conflicts.

Players use lightsabers, swords, blasters, explosives, and substances (poisonous and paralytic) to kill enemies, who simply fall down upon death and show no signs of bodily damage. Nonetheless, there are particular moments in the story where players will come across pools of blood or severed arms on the ground. Half-rotted corpses and skeletons are present in some areas, too. The main villains are somewhat unnerving with Dark side powers that feed on pain and life. One has a damaged eye and cracked skin, and the other has no face with a shrieking, unintelligible voice. Since this game is nearly two decades old, these violent elements are limited with dated graphics.

Players will encounter several female characters wearing revealing clothing (like short tops) with notable cleavage, sometimes with tight pants that accentuate their butts. These characters are usually found in cantinas with some that dance to entertain guests. One of the main male characters attempts to flirt with you (if you play as a woman) by making euphemistic remarks about your body a few times in the first level.

"Damn" and "hell" are used somewhat frequently throughout dialogue.

Players will visit a few bars. Some characters drink fictional alcoholic beverages, which are shown or described as acting drunk or passing out. The player and other characters are knocked out with some sedative drugs on occasion by antagonists, and can use similar substances (that poison or paralyze) against foes.

Parents need to know that Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II -- The Sith Lords is a downloadable role-playing game that debuted in 2003, and has now been re-released for the Nintendo Switch. The title takes some influence and content from the vast Star Wars universe as well. It's a sequel to Knights of the Old Republic where you play as an exiled Jedi who defied the wishes of the Jedi Council by going to war against the marauding Mandalorian race. But you have forgotten your role in the conflict, along with your connection to the Force. Even still, powerful Sith Lords and other mysterious antagonists constantly pursue you. What could they want with you? You must find the Jedi Masters who exiled you to uncover your true past. This game has strategic real-time combat and a character-driven story where players can say and act in ways aligned with the Light or Dark side. "Damn" and "hell" are somewhat frequent in dialogue. Violence is commonplace, carried out with lightsabers, blades, blasters, and explosives, but characters simply collapse when they die. Some areas contain pools of blood, severed arms, decomposing corpses, and skeletons; but this 19-year-old title's visuals make these elements considerably less graphic. There are several female characters with considerable cleavage and outlined butts with short, tight clothing. If you play as a woman, one of the main male characters is euphemistically depicted as ogling and fantasizing over you. The player will visit some cantinas where fictional alcoholic drinks are shown and mentioned, with one character passing out in front of you, and others being described as losing self-control over their speech while drunk.
