the first time i played i got bao-dur to turn to a jedi, no problem. not been able to in any game since. this current game i've done just about every listed above and gained influence, but still can't train him. i'm on Onderon now with Mandalore, so i think i've pretty much botched the opportunity to train him. he's the only one i haven't gotten.

i'm guessing most of the cast is in the late 30's to mid 40's save for Mira and the Handmaiden and maybe Visas Marr which i'm guessing are early to mid 20's. kreia is definitely older by at least twice as much as the next oldest.

Favorite characters: HK-47 - i'm not too much of a fan of using blasters, but HK-47's comments are always great. if it wasn't for the commentary i'd never even use him. Handmaiden - current game is the first time i got her to train as a Jedi or have really gained any influence with her. good melee combat character, and once you get some influence with her the dialog options are good. Kreia - i wasn't surprised that you'd have to fight her, but i thought she was interesting. never really used her in my party once i got Visas Marr tho. she's useful though as force support, but the comments can get nagging if you're trying to stay light side. Visas Marr - good character, but its weird that as a male pc you have so many romance options. the big lead up story with her was the confrontation with Darth Nihilus, it seemed anti-climatic a bit, but then it just sorta stopped with her there. Disliked Characters: Disciple - very annoying. is good in melee combat but i just get annoyed with his dialog. he feels like he was supposed to be in some game about knights of the round table or jousting. G0-T0 - not a big fan of blaster use, so i rarely use the droids unless i need something done. and its usually for one specific task. Hanharr - very effective in melee combat, i just can't stand wookies. it was hard to play lightside on KOTOR 1 on Kashyyyk. angry supersized ewok. T3-M4 - meh, again, not a fan of the droids. if it wasn't for the specific missions he had, i'd never use him. Undecided Characters Atton Rand - once i got more people in my party, i never really used him much. but, on my most recent game (3rd playthru) i've finally got him to train as a jedi, so i will experiment some with him in the party again. Bao-Dur - first time i played i liked him and got him turned to Jedi, second time i didn't really like him and couldn't train him. i really haven't used him off Telos. he's almost like a droid in the fact i use him for specific tasks. Mandalore - good fighter, just don't seem to have much interaction with him. Canderous was one of the better characters in KOTOR 1, so it was nice to see he was back, disappointing that i didn't get as much dialog with him. Mira - first time i played i did Nar Shaddaa last so i never really got a chance to experiment with her in the party, second time i went to Nar Shaddaa early but i was dark side so i got Hanharr instead. i will try her out more in the current game since i did Nar Shaddaa second and turned her to Jedi before i left.
