It's really good, still amusingly glitchy in small ways but the city feels a lot more filled out. Same with the story.

Did they move the Johnny flashback way earlier? I feel like it was a lot further into the story quests before.

Canderous kicks a lot of rear end, I think he's going to be a full time party member for a bit. Does Carth ever get cool too or at least stop talking about his trust issues? He's a real drag to have around and it truly does not feel like it matters what I say to him because it always ends up with him getting mad at me for ???

Karlach bursts into flame and has to go back to hell at the end of the game even if you do all the upgrades. Wyll and the player can both choose to go with her though. Being Doom Guy and marauding through hell with her buddies is as close to a good ending as she gets

At least Bastila is a wild card, the only complaint I have about her is that she gives up being a giant rear end in a top hat at the first sign of resistance. You've gotta commit to that kind of thing, but maybe that's why she's still a trainee

Canderous just competently blasts people all day from a "not hogging the medkits" distance and is always ready with a "hell yeah brother" or "that gun sucks rear end, you're a moron, gently caress you" as the conversation demands, including in the middle of a murder investigation

yeah she's plot important, though, so probably worth having in the party if you care about that. probably could just leave her on the ship outside of the jedi type areas. i think i just used the bender murder bot and mission most of the time, but i remember the sulky former jedi guy being funny too

carth has such bland whiny white guy energy that they just put him into mass effect to be a boring rear end in a top hat a few years later and nobody remembered carth well enough to notice

I like having her around but the honeymoon period will be brief, i suspect. The wookie and Canderous have been extremely reliable so far, though finding out that even as the dumb melee Jedi type I can't use any of my force poo poo unless I'm in robes was uncool and means I wasted a perk point getting heavy armor. Should've gone Consular I guess but the combat feels clunky enough with just Flurry, having the first round of buffs and grenades be every round sounds annoying

yeah i think you want the jedi type where you dual wield lightsabers and jump attack 50m/throw lightsabers. dual wield is v good with the right build. then you have a robot to open stuff and occasionally shoot things and character 3 is whoever seems fun atm

Yeah that's what I went with, it's great so far, just sad I am going to have to run around in robes or tediously swap all the time just to use 80% of my force powers. I see like 3 are dedicated to just making me tougher so I'm certain that robes end up better than heavy armor, just wish I could get that perk back

I was thinking of using the first double blade I come across, is dual better than that? It's twice as many crystals but on the other hand it'd be nice to have one crystal apply to both hands since it seems like they're going to be a big deal. Only other idea I had was using two lightsabers, one for robots and one for meatbags, so I can just keep hammering away at things without ever thinking or having to be strategic

dual wielding really comes into its own when you get to the sith planet because you can get some really op crystals there that make up for any detriments from dual wielding. far better than a double blade iirc. the game doesn't really require a minmaxed run, though, so you're probably fine just fuckin around and having fun

Yeah I'm just wingin it, building for str and durability will always see you through and it's not like there's a hundred different things to choose from. Really liking it so far, I'd say my biggest disappointment was discovering the dark side path options are all total dogshit after hearing the story and stuff was the best part of the game

I'm probably just going to end up doing whatever has "MISS MISS MISS" appearing on my screen less but this IS based on old school D&D rulesets so I knew what to expect coming in
