  1. Mm, I hadn't really thought about that...but now that you say it, I've always played Guardian before, but whereas this didn't really matter in the first game, I did often find myself lacking skills in important areas in KotOR2. I might have to play through as a different class. I also have to agree with everyone who mentioned the empty containers and automatic datapad opening, those were both very useful things I forgot to add. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well You could. But at the same time, your other party members can make items for you <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oh, it wasn't creating items I was referring to It's the quests that require your main character to have certain skills - healing the man on Nar Shaddaa, for example, requires 3 points in Treat Injury. Noticing that there's something odd about the vaporisers on Dantooine requires an Awareness of 5. I was utterly unable to get any more information/holos from T3 because my character had no repair or computer skill.
  2. When I played as a male character who had mastered the lightside, I still couldn't get Handmaiden to talk to me after rescuing Visas! I tried my best to placate her, but she refused to talk to me, either on or off the Ebon Hawk.

  4. I was playing KotOR1 today and found myself wishing for some of the small, but crucial improvements the second game makes to the gaming experience. Not to mention that, thanks to the latest ATI drivers, KotOR1 now runs far worse on my computer... I did a search and read several posts that talk of the improvements that were made, but none that really discuss them to any degree. So what were people's favourite aspects of the second game? For me: 1) Larger, cleaner interface. It wasn't until I reinstalled the first game that I really noticed how small the menus were! 2) I thought the maps were generally better designed. Smaller, more indicative of where you were supposed to go. I hated Tatooine in the first game - those huge wide open stretches of sand that took forever to cross! 3) Speeded up walking in the space-suits; walking in the space-suits/diver suits in KotOR1 was painfully slow. 4) You don't have to use the gun turret on the Ebon Hawk (except when on Peragus, and then it doesn't matter if you don't get all the Sith) - this filled me with dread in KotOR1. 5) The dialogue in many places feels a lot more 'natural' - in KotOR1, especially in the beginning, some of the dialogue sounded stilted and intended to provide the player with specific information rather than sounding like normal conversation. Other improvements are much more my own opinion...I like the NPCs a lot better in the second game, but then I really did detest Bastila in the first game
  5. The manual says that the party select screen should be available by clicking on the button between Abilities and Journal in the menu in the top-left of your screen.
  6. I'm not sure where it is in KotOR2, but in KoTOR1 it's at the bottom of your map screen. It might be the same for KotOR2...I'd look if I could!
  7. You are meant to be alone, I'm afraid. See it as a challenge! That was actually one of the hardest battles for me.
  8. For some reason Disciple became a Jedi Consular with my character. But then, no one became the Jedi class which *would*'ve been most appropriate...Bao-Dur became a Guardian and Atton I think was a Sentinel. Oh well!
  9. My first time through (playing as a LS male) I really screwed up with Handmaiden and couldn't get her to talk to me after I'd saved Visas. She put the silent treatment on my character the entire game! But when it came to the end, Atris still gave her the full, 'did you love him?' speech...she just missed out the line about her being a Jedi.
  10. I completely agree with the original poster and many of the other opinions expressed in this thread. KotOR2 certainly shows a huge amount of potential and still contains a lot more content than most fully complete games do (certainly in my opinion anyway). It's not going to stop me buying any products in future and I'm still looking forward to KotOR3. I just wish Obsidian better luck in the future.
  11. I'm just happy to realise that I'm not the only besotted Carth/Atton fangirl out there ^_~
  12. If I recall correctly, the special power you gain depends upon your alignment, not your class. So it would depend on whether you had mastered the light side or the dark side.
  13. Completely and utterly awesome. Thank you for sharing!
