  1. Definitely Weapons Master first.  If the first Kotor was any indication, a meelee prepared build would be the better way to go until you get a hang of all the force powers available.  Though I wonder if you could go consular to weapons master??  Anybody familiar with the D20 system on what requirements there are to choose a specific prestige class?

     

    Firstly yes you can switch classes and I think especially so in this game.

     

    Secondly, I don't think the game is going to be so hard that you have to go weapon master to be safe...

     

    Because I like hand to hand yet I want to at least try to avoid overpowering myself, I'm probably going Watchman first. Then again, we know almost nothing about the classes (especially the watchman), so I can't make a marginally informed decision.

  2. Consulars were an excellent class in KOTOR.  I don't see the reason to pick them this time around in TSL.  Maybe you guys can help me see the error of my ways.  Here are 5 reasons why I don't think they will be a solid class choice. 

     

    1.  Higher level cap.  More levels mean more force powers.  So even a Guardian will have plenty of force powers to choose from.

     

    2.  Higher amount of force points.  With the higher levels come more force points.  If it still takes 20 Force points to do a universal move and my high level Guardian casts it, even he will still be able to use plenty of force powers.

     

    3.  You learn force powers by doing things in the game.  Yet another reason why my guardian can have plenty of force powers.

     

    4.  Prestige classes.  If I start out as a Guardian and find that I still want to have more of a push in the force power area, I can just choose to be Jedi Master.

     

    5.  More Sith Lords to fight against.  Malak was extremely resistant to force powers.  He was only one.  With more Sith Lords to fight against you will have even more enemies that are resistant to force powers.

     

    Now before all the consular lovers get mad at me, I still think they are a good class.  I just think that in TSL there is less of a reason to choose them.

     

     

     

    LOL man, if all the things you just listed would make the Guardian that much more powerful...imagine how powerful the Consulars would be....you're evidence is helping the Consulars role....in theory u could make someone as powerful as Yoda with the force....see what I mean?

     

    And Zach, how's Kelly doing? Bahahahahaaaaa :)

     

    I disagree that they would help the consular that much... I mean in the first game with 20 levels I could do whatever I wanted forcewise with a soldier guardian wisdom 10, even without those special WIS upgrade items (leave those out this game plz!! So overpowered).

     

    The one question I have for you Zach (and the only thing I disagree with you on) is that consulars were awesome in the first game.

  3. Hi!

     

     

    First of all we need Lightsabers that actually cut.

    I hate seeing the most powerful weapon known to mankind and all sorts of other creatures go through the aforementioned ones without leaving a trace or making stuff come off. Also "dashing" at a door??? What is up with that??? We stick our lightsaber in and it goes through! Has noone ever seen the movies?

    So: Sabers must cut and be very powerfull! Heads should come off!

     

    ok...

  4. Haha I just htought of something.....so there are supposedly 2 jedi s besides u and they are GIRLS.....man....that's pretty tight, with two Female Jedi, then that BOunty hunter chick, and maybe a third jedi that u think is also a woman.....then my Male Jedi is gonna be an Effin PIMP (w00t) hahaha....I'll be spending most of my time on the ebon Hawk....with a video recorder.....dig it cats?

     

    Probably going to be equal amount of Males and Females, like in the last game...

  5. Is Exar Kun from a game or a book or what? Tell me!!!

     

     

    He is from a trillogy called the "jedi academy trilogy". The basic story is that Luke becomes a self proclaimed jedi master and starts a jedi academy on Yavin 4 where they had the base in ep 4. Turns out the temples were built by Kun and he is still haunting the place and trying to turn Lukes students to the dark side. Pretty cool stuff.

     

    If I remember right, he's way before that...way way before that. Like in the old tales of the old republic or something.

     

    BTW, that's not quite the basic plot of the trilogy. The plot is the refounding of the jedi order, which is the most important part of the series.

     

    His spirit resides in the Massassi temples on Yavin 4, where the Jedi Academy was (at that time). Luke's training new students and they are confronted with Exar Kun, who tries to lure the untrained students to the Dark Side. Yadda, yadda, they defeat Kun's spirt.

     

    Not exactly one of the better trilogies in the SW EU.

     

    Why does everyone leave Kyp out of this? I mean there are around 2 major storylines in prettymuch all SW books. Kyp and the crusher were a pretty big one...

  6. i think its stupid that you can take bastilas lightsaber from her before ur a jedi, and give her a sword WTF you can also take off thier clothes. i think that the npcs would have things that they wont do like E.G take off thier clothes in front off you E.G take THIER lightsaber and use it. thats their weapon they made it duh

     

    So?... This is an RPG. You're allowed to have them change equpiment...

  7. Would be fun to have something like the Keeps you got in BG2 where you could stop and have some fun sub-quests or something. making money and stuff like that. unless they have plans to obliderate the planet again as usually happens in KOTOR.

     

     

     

    Isn't that the hawk?

  8. You see, I really had no clue what I was doing in that game...

     

    Cloakwood?

     

    Its the area of the game where you go through to get to the mines. Its the same area where you fight the Spider Queen. :lol:

     

    Ahhhh...

     

    I vaguely remember the name now.

     

    That was my first CRPG btw. It was rather frusturating... I'm thinking of giving it another try and hoping I have more of a clue what to do... I remember though near the beginning of the game I went somewhere and found myself tangling with these strange bugs (Ankh? Akh?...started something like that) that wiped me out easily unless I was lucky...

     

    I found BG a little too open ended for my tastes... I mean you were alwasy supposed to be doing something really really vague with virtually no guidence or clue of where to go...

     

    BTW GTG! :(

  9. Haha...we had Coran?  Who is Coran?  I had my PC (fighter), I think Minsc, maybe Dynahair, Viconia, some elf fighter, and some other people.  No one was particularly good...

     

    Coran was a fighter/rogue that you could pick up on your way through the Cloakwood. Premier archer in the game.

     

    You see, I really had no clue what I was doing in that game...

     

    Cloakwood?

  10. I believe that kotor has won a place in the hearts of us nerds everywhere

     

    But I don't think it is fare to say one is better than the other, just because

    yes the graphics, powers, light sabers, ect pobably will be better but kotor 1 is still the first if they did it just right fall like peices in a puzzle and let us get the full effect of the games.

     

    Better in standards of game quality=probably KOTOR 2

     

    Better in standards of originality=KOTOR 1

     

    KOTOR 1 pioneered the field of SW rpgs was a breakthrough in the new field of good SW games.

  11. Spider Queen was easy.  You have COran, master bowman and very good.  Give hima set of Arrows of Detonation.  Lovely invention indeed.  You cast Haste on him nd send him in.  He shoots 4 to 6 arrows a round, blowing up things nicely, and in 3 rounds everything in that chamber is dead.

     

    Haha...we had Coran? Who is Coran? I had my PC (fighter), I think Minsc, maybe Dynahair, Viconia, some elf fighter, and some other people. No one was particularly good...

  12. You see, don't cast spells the effect the enemies.  They don't always work so you shouldn't rely on them.  What you need to do is use bugging spells on your party.  Buffing spells always work and are quite effective.

     

    Do that also. E.g. the spider queen's lair in BG was hellish. I cast every spell I could to buff and still tried around a dozen times before succeeding. What I had to do was go in, instantly pause, and cast good offensive spells, get all the right rolls, ect...
