The player makes choices that turn the Exile to either the dark side or light side of the Force, and travels to six planets to either help or hinder the Republic's efforts to bring peace and stability to the galaxy. The player's character, a former Jedi Knight exiled from the Jedi Order, is referred to as "the Exile" or "Jedi Exile." Throughout the game, the player's character restores a connection to the Force while, with the help of non-player character companions, trying to stop the Sith. The game takes place five years after the events of Knights of the Old Republic, in a time when the Jedi have been nearly exterminated by the Sith. Two update the quality of the movies and music while the third fixes gameplay issues and introduces additional content. There are three official patches for the game. Material created for the game but not integrated into it remains in the released source files.
Producer Chris Avellone in an interview after the game's publication stated that he wished "there had been more time" to work on the game, and that some content - such as a droid planet - was cut. New features include more combat animations and interface scaling.
BioWare also provided technical assistance to Obsidian's developers. The Sith Lords was constructed using an updated version of Knights of the Old Republic's Odyssey game engine, which Obsidian obtained from BioWare Company. Development on The Sith Lords started around the same time of Knights of the Old Republic's Xbox release. The change of developers came at BioWare's suggestion based on their familiarity with Obsidian Entertainment's previous work, as BioWare was busy developing Jade Empire and started focusing on their own intellectual properties.
The game is the sequel to BioWare's commercially and critically acclaimed Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.
