You should make a new character with the last name Ulgo so that we can really feel the loss from the death of a deep character we've grown connected to.

Kotor save editor is super cool, and works on both games. Dunno how hard it is to port saves to and from the xbox version to make it work.

Yeah, it's not just that you need a skill monkey and it might as well be the PC, it's that almost all of the important skill checks can only be done by the PC.

MightyPretenders posted:-Implying dealing with past tragedy isn't a good enough arc in itself. The big thing Carth does to make people hate him is force himself into your party and then if you don't dump him immediately back out and do what the game wants you to he'll literally shut you out of dark side route stuff if you want to go that route. Of course that route is a lot more "meh" than kid me thought it was, but I can see that leaving people a little bitter. Second game did much better in that regard because Atton likes and agrees with the pc whatever they do.

Kotor 2 on phone would be nice. Or kotor 1 with a lot of the back end stuff from 2 like 2 weapon sets, bash breaking stuff so that security has a purpose and all those classes and races I can save edit into a goofy moded character.

Rody One Half posted:So like I said, the game would really like you to gently caress Carth. A trend that continues with all subsequent Carths. Reminds me of a comic I read once making fun of how picking the options that treat the other person as a human being puts you on the "romance" track. Or in Carth's case, just breathing in his general vicinity. I never tried a run where I shot him down and boy does whoever wrote that not understand "no means no"

In case anyone is wondering why cart has a reputation for constantly interrupting you looking like he wants to talk, here's why. The way companion dialogue works is that every time you level up you unlock the next tier of dialogue with your party members. Carth recruits himself right at the start when levels are everywhere and he's your ONLY party member for hours, so theres nothing to break up the deluge of new conversations with him.

Tiggum posted:So there are endlessly spawning enemies and you get XP for killing them - can you just hang around and level yourself up to infinity here? The enemies are finite even if they seem they aren't, theres level scaling, and you ram the level cap before end game anyways so that's not really a thing. Plus if it were, with how companion dialogue advances on player level up, it would probably lock you out of side missions to do that.

Xander77 posted:The thing about taking a massive poo poo on the repeated ad-naseum tropes of the original, is that some people took great offense, as they happily consumed the same regurgitated story over and over. I never understood how this was a big thing either way. It's not exactly a sign of a great work, but it's not the sign of a terrible one either. Crichton wrote the same story over a dozen times, but I still enjoyed all its different incarnations.

lightrook posted:What exactly is the difference between rifles and repeaters, besides requiring separate weapon proficiency and having marginally different baseline stats? I never really used blasters much in either KOTOR, on account of them not getting any damage scaling from ability scores in this game. Heavy weapons get an extra attack two blade style and is also the only gun category containing ones with an attack stat worth a drat past taris. If you have yavin. Otherwise, like all guns, they are terrible and do a static max damage of around 12 while a lightsaber cleaves dudes for 40.

You see, the Jedi are specifically against forming emotional attachments with other people/aliens/robots/whatever. But, SEX =! LOVE, so as long as you don't care about the other person, go for it. Hell, anakin is so into that prophecy he does it like 3 times. He also kills obi wan turning 3:2 into 2:2 and then after he chucks the emperor down the shaft theres a couple of minutes where it goes from 1:2 to 1:1.

It just seems awfully, awfully petty and I don't really see any reason why a dark Jedi would even bother to do such a thing since it's not like that benefits them in any way. I guess they get to laugh at the misery of the peasants like the sociopath they are, but can you imagine any of the established darksiders in the movies doing that for literally no reason whatsoever aside from maybe " To be fair, that is absolutely something kylo ren and anakin would do.

Hmmm... this army of VERY convenient soldiers was discovered by tailing an assassin and placed by a dead man on a planet hidden from us because someone deleted all mentions of it from our massive archive. Oh well, let's use it and drop all suspicions after making this call!

SoundwaveAU posted:I think the dark side option for the family feud is amazing because it's so ridiculous and over-the-top. All the dark side options in this game are basically "I did it for the lulz" type stuff but this is the pinnacle, and it just loops back around to being absolutely hilarious. If memory serves some of the dialogue on that path is just a very fed up, "you know what? gently caress it. Kill yourselves." And really, by that point in the quest, who doesn't feel that way?

On the subject of the PC should really be supervised a bit more: "Hello, you two basic initiates. We sent an experienced guy to check out these old ruins that might have lead the current sith lords to the dark side. The old guy didnt return. So we figured we'd send you two newbies, completely unsupervised, to this extremely dangerous looking potential source of dark side. What? No a master can't tag along this super dangerous and important misson because we are all sadly busy gazing up our own assholes."

Doc M posted:Make up your mind, Carth! Well yes, but our financials are no longer those of marooned soldiers in hostile occupied territory. As you noted this update we can sell those racing bonds for 156 credits apiece. We have 120 racing bonds. Or in other words we just made 18,720 credits in about 5 minutes. 200 credits is peasant money to us now. This is absolutely what I was talking about when I mentioned yavin letting you break the games economy over your knee. Edit: also, while everyone remembers hk being a fun character, holy hell is he a bad one. He starts with 16 strength and 14 dex. Awesome for going melee. Except he can't wield melee. In fact that 16 strength is entirely useless to him. He literally cant apply it for anything. All he can do is be mediocre with blasters and his 14 dex.

Yeah, the storyteller provides some pretty interesting lore, but as the sole reward for a unique lightsaber mod that at this point is pretty drat good is... not a great trade. Especially since if you're seeing this you're probably light side route and thus only have 1 pearl period. Saving, seeing it, and then reloading is such an optimal thing I'm not even sure why they didn't change the test to just be showing the chief the pearl, rather than giving it.

There's a reasonable argument for computer use too, but further commentary would be spoilers. wedgekree posted:HK is best omnicidal droid. For all the flak I gave him, I wouldn't go that far. Repairing him does take him from a complete joke to solidly serviceable. He'll never be a jedi, and 16 points of useless strength will always be funny, but he does get his dex boosted to solid and a few other perks from the complete chain. Seriously though, I'd love to know if that strength stat was a joke or something that got cut because it's so

DrakePegasus posted:Story characters are statted based on their in-universe abilities, not strictly their core gameplay use. T3 lines up perfectly with what he has to do for the plot. Unfortunately HK can’t chokeslam a Gamorrean due to engine limitations. Except that story wise hk is an expert marksman and doesn't fisticuffs anyone. His stat line is the opposite of what you're arguing. And if you really want to see that, I guess you could disarm him and watch his goofy punch animation.

Karia posted:I think the implication here is that Kashyyk is also artifically formed. I really don't remember if this theme ever gets brought up again in KOTOR, but it would be interesting if the Builders had artificially shaped all of the planets you visit in one way or another. Without going into spoilers, yes. Remember, of what we've seen there is tatooine where we found out they strip mined the planet to death and dantooine, where they were working on a project so big that the overseer they left behind attempted to speak selkath at us almost immediately. You know, the language of this fish people halfway across the galaxy. It's not as blunt as following revan/malak's journey, but we are definitely following the legacy of the builders and finding out how much of modern space they shaped.

Doc M posted:That's true, especially for big CRPGs like this, but it's more evident from some games than it is from others. Boy does it. I love how the bug with (I think it's with) Juhani's personal quest never got patched out. For the record, the bug is that triggering the spaceport conversation for it stops any of the other side missions from being able to find their conversations. So if you found Juhani's before mission's you'd never bump into lena and find griff. Or bastilla would never get pointed at her mother.

Jolee has his own quirks, but he's an experienced war veteran Knight still dedicated to the Republic, plus he's morally flexible enough to just stab you in the back if you went too dark side. Yeah, but the thing is that jolee has been dropping hints about his relationship with the jedi(they don't get along to the point where he talks about them as a group he isnt part of) even if he hasn't spelled it out too much as to why it got that way.
