Let's Play: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords

[Nikose Tyris]

Alternate title:
LET'S PLAY: KOTOR 2: HOW NIKOSE RUINS NICE THINGS.

Okay so this is going to be fun. I need opening votes on EVERYTHING to do with character creation, and most popular numbers gets it.

I will need the following:

Gender: Male or Female. This DOES impact the game.

*********************************

Class: Jedi Consular, Jedi Sentinel, or Jedi Guardian.

Jedi Consular: Focuses on Force Powers. typically called the 'hard mode'.

Jedi Sentinel: Balanced Character. Typically the "Weenie Rogue".

Jedi Guardian: "I hit things with my lightsaber to make them fall down." usually called the easiest class to play.

******************************

Attributes:

STR: Smashy Smashy.
DEX: Dodgy Dodgy. Depending on Feat choices, slashy slashy.
CON: HP
INT: Skill points
WIS: Force Points
CHA: Cost of off-skill force points

All attributes tie to skills.

*******************************
FEATS:
Okay there are WAY too many to list. GameFAQS the list and bicker among yourselves how you want me to do this.
*******************************
Skills:
Once again, bicker amongst yourselves. I'm so used to playing a Sentinel it'll be fun to do things your way.
*******************************
Play Style:
Am I a douchebag Dark Jedi? am I a Sith Lord? Am I a Pure Paladin-like holy figure, a sword of the jedi to save them? Am I a douchebag but technically pure lightside? Am I going to convert my fellow team members to good or leave me evil? Do I give a shit? Give me everything you got.

This KOTOR2 game just begs to be played.

also, here's the deal- I'll be doing Sunday Updates. You can talk, bicker, discuss attributes and points in between to death, and I'll read and tally up what seems to be the consensus.

Well then. Have at ye.

male sentinel who is evil but in a smart fashion. they're not just "massacre massacre lololol" but is actively trying to make it through the game rich enough to go retire somewhere.

Force Lightning says you're full of all kinds of shit.

That said, be male for story reasons (aka, fuck that one guy) and be a gunslinger Jedi. Yes that means no lightsabers. I forgot the precise skills you're going to want, but sniper shot, force deflection, and those skills that let you pierce through lightsaber reflects are a must.

Also, be dark side for story related reasons.

I would also recommend taking a few points in intelligence, charisma, and wisdom to open up more dialogue options and for you to have at least one point in every skill. This is a game that is mostly dialogue driven, after all.

Play Sentinel of moral ambiguity (this is actually more difficult than it sounds) who is not shy of robbing every one he meets blind, but protects the week and innocent wherever he finds them, and smashes evil.

And a few people who just happen to be in his way at the time.

For instance, in your first area, cheat, loot, and murder your way to some good stats, but then make a bunch of honorable decisions that endear you to the people, making it easy for you to rob them later. Lure Dark guys back to the Light side, and Light side people to the Dark side.

What kinds of skills are in Kotor 2 compared to Kotor 1? I need to know before I make my demands! Any differences?

Use Guns! And possibly, your fists! Only a fool trusts his life to a glowy laser weapon! At least for every situation, anyway. Go kinda Kyle Katarn.

After some research, computer skills, lockpick, stealth, awareness, Dual Hand Sabers, Flurry, Speed, and medium armor seem best.

it's kind of the same, kind of different. For one, those bio uber things are constitution based and don't need feats to get.

There's also force abilities so you can deflect blaster shots without a light saber (making it possible to play a gunslinger jedi) and feats that increase your hand to hand combat, feats that allow you to use dex for hitting with the lightsaber instead of str, etc. The biggest changes come from the introduction of prestige classes...

But yeah, as Nikose said, you should look at a guide.

i would like to propose the use of the Mod that allows you to Use 2-hand weapons as 1 hand weapons.

Just for the sheer awesomeness of having Double Weilding Double Bladed Lightsabers

[Aerozord]

male, Sentinel, high dex, int, wis. I prefer to avoid getting hit then to tank damage. Deflecting attacks is always nice too.

Play style, a person that avoids combat but can fight. Force Dominance was one of my favorite abilities. One conversation tree went like this

"here is 500 credits, you never saw us"

[force pursuade] "You will let us through and forget you saw us"

[force dominate] "Let us through and forget EVERYTHING"

If I recall correctly when I tried to talk to him again all I got was " ......."

Male gunslinging Consular, Start out moderately good or evil, and at one point have an event that makes the char snap, after which you go all the way to the other side of the alignment.

Seconded, but make sure to eventually get at least force presuade, along with force lightning.
