10 Video Game Endings That Were Saved By Fans
9. An Actual Ending - Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords
Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II suffered through a rushed development, causing the final release to feature a massively "streamlined" story and abruptly curtailed ending, much to fans' disappointment.
Shortly after KOTOR II's release, though, the game's passionate modding community began The Sith Lords Restoration Project, retrieving as much unused content hidden in the game code as possible and re-inserting it into the game proper.
This included a massively expanded ending, where modders did a frankly miraculous job of reconstituting scenes such as the Exile's party members teaming up to battle Darth Traya and being killed.
Though still fundamentally incomplete, it feels so much more fleshed-out compared to the almost non-ending fans originally got.
Between this and the mod's other impressive achievements - such as fixing over 500 bugs - it was eventually acknowledged and basically canonised in 2015 by Aspyr Media, Inc., the company in charge of managing the game today.
