Ahaha, Carth is somehow even MORE annoying with a female character. I didn't think that was possible. I hope you show off a few of the "too dumb to live" endings. I know there's one coming up...

One reason KOTOR was fun was that you could play and win without doing too deep a dive into the numbers. Or you could completely shatter it if you looked closely. Unfortunately the game ramps up the difficulty simply by increasing enemy numbers. So the final fights are just wave after wave of enemies with no time to heal. The endgame of KOTOR is by far the weakest part. I don't think that's a spoiler!

KOTOR 2 has better writing overall but also more aimless wandering. It's also just DARK. Like, lighting wise. I had some eyestrain issues replaying it recently.

Dunno why Taris gets so much hate. It's got a nice variety of quests and even the sewers aren't that bad. At least they come with a map. KOTOR 2 play through update: I'm convinced that everyone who remembers it fondly has forgotten how annoying the influence system was.

Taris has a shocking number of ways to die instantly for an intro level Fight Calo Nord at the bar Threaten the undercity elevator guard Fight the rancor Also I don't find the outcast thing that unrealistic. We're talking generations of social conditioning. I'm reminded of the third class passengers on the Titanic waiting for someone to tell them what to do until they drowned.

MechaCrash posted:Speaking of robots, just what kind of position do droids occupy? Are they sapient beings or not? Because "that lady is really attached to her droid, if you know what I mean The real answer is that droids are as sentient as they need to be for whatever story is being told. It varies wildly. I'm waiting for the Star Wars side story about the great droid revolt. Wait, that's just The Matrix.

" is something that is presented kind of oddly. Droids appear to have a range of emotions and their own desires, even with the programming and all that, but they're still bought and sold and have their minds erased regularly, so either they're not self-aware and people just anthropomorphize them way too hard, or there's some deeply horrific poo poo going on with droids.

I have never managed to persuade the dads to get along in this quest. Must be one hell of a persuade check. This is also the site of one of the more evil things you can do. If you keep egging them on, and lie about Casus' death, you can get them all to kill each other!

Juhani is a Jedi Guardian which is nice to have around if your character is a squishy sentinel or consular.

achtungnight posted:The worst part of the party is we’re not sure who’s clearly in charge and why. Yeah, it’s the main character in charge obviously but would the Jedi really want the MC in charge? A former smuggler and low to mid rank soldier who just became a Padawan? Bastila can monitor us, yeah, but she isn’t even a full Knight either. And what’s our motivation? Save the galaxy from the Sith? Get the power of the Star Forge? Be a dickhead or do gooder for its own sake (something that I know from experience really doesn’t work for most people in real life)? It’s a trap a lot of games fall into- the main character must do the story because that’s all there is. But they forget there’s plenty of other stuff all around. Ugh! I'm enjoying your posts! It's nice to have at least one person ITT that doesn't know every plot point. Are there any others here? And I don't think it's a spoiler to say that some (but not all) of these things are cleared up later on.

Another way to die instantly on Tatooine: try to enter the Sand People enclave without wearing disguises. Even if you manage to dodge their patrols, their turrets will instantly kill you.achtungnight posted:Is there another boss fight on each planet? Seems like the only established bad guys besides Calo Nord are Malak and his Admiral, and I don't see us coming up against either of them yet. Maybe.

The Mandalorian fights on various planets are some of the toughest in the game. They hit hard and have an annoying habit of resisting force powers. Kashyyyk and Manaan will both make you hate the looping alien voice audio.

The Academy firefight is one of the few tough parts of the game. You're outnumbered, everyone's aggro immediately, and unless you had the foresight to leave your party members by the valley exit before starting your test, there's a good chance they'll get wiped out like Jolee did here. You only get the firefight if both Uthar and Yuthura are dead/departed. Sadly there's no way to make the students believe that you're in charge of the academy now  Fun fact: you can poison both of them, team up on a poisoned Uthar, fight a poisoned Yuthura, and still redeem her! She doesn't hold a grudge! zakharov fucked around with this message at 05:50 on Feb 1, 2020 |

Yep, this blew my drat mind when I was 17. I think it still works if you don't know that there IS a twist. If you know to look for one, the hints are pretty obvious. If you don't, well, Sith Lords hiding their faces isn't terribly uncommon... Was anyone ITT completely unspoiled? Sadly since we did Korriban third we won't get to go around trying to convince everyone that we're Revan. Nobody believes you...except Uthar if you side with him. You can convince him to pledge his loyalty to you and await your return.

Is it not canon that Jedi have a hard time predicting their allies suddenly turning on them? See: Order 66, and a certain conversation in KOTOR 2. Yoda saw it coming but he's a Jedi Master and Elassa here was an apprentice.

The first time I played I decided to be a virtuous Jedi and plead guilty. Up until the moment I got zapped and saw the game over screen, I assumed there'd be some kind of breakout mission. Nope. Just a Game Over. And it's not the only time the game kills you for being honest!

Doc M posted:I stand corrected. That being said, venting the toxin is still dumb and counter-productive because why would you even risk losing the only reliable source of kolto in the galaxy? The game punishes you even more - if you vent the toxin, even if you don't get banned, prices of medpacs go way up.

Two more fun ways to get insta-killed in this chapter! Touch that lightning? Total party kill! Use a dialogue option that doesn't appear here because of the order in which you do things? INSTANT DEATH!!! And yeah, money ceases to have meaning as soon as you come here. Drain your finances before coming here, people.

The dark side scene where you force persuade Zaalbar to kill MIssion is one of the darkest things I've ever seen in a game, even though it isn't graphic. Slight correction: Zaalbar doesn't attack you there, but if you take him onto the Star Forge afterward he comes to his senses and attacks you then.

KOTOR is still lots of fun to play through today...EXCEPT for the Star Forge, one of the worst final dungeons in history. Even if you have a combat-focused build, the endless waves of enemies can wear you down. It's not fun.
