Alright, thanks a lot, guys and girls. Other than KOTOR 1, I have never played a game of this magnitude before. All the other RPGs I played always restricted the characters to certain weapons and armor, so it was kind of overwhelming for me to see so much customization. That's probably why in the first KOTOR, I let the game decide what each character was best at, because I was too stupid to figure it out on my own, haha. It's a very complicated game. Thanks again.

One of the shortcomings that I found about this game compared to the first one is that upon recieving a new party member, it is not immediately apparent which direction the character should be taken. In the first one, all the characters started with there own weapon, and usually had weapons specifically designed for them (Carth's Blaster, Mission's Vibroblade, etc.) Some characters are obvious, like how HK-47 starts with a rifle, or how the game suggests equipping Atton with blasters on Peragus. With the other characters, though, it's not quite as clear. Atton: Is it best to use a single blaster, or a double blaster with him? Visas Krei: Both seems to be best with melee weapons, and light sabres should be equipped immediately, I would assume. Bal Daur: I have no idea. Is it best to leave him unequipped so he can use his fist? Problem is, he is a scoundrel, is he not? Wouldn't it be best to equip him with some blasters? Handmaiden: She recieves a weapon called the Handmaiden staff or something like that, but her character would suggest she is best as an unequpped fighter. Is this true? GOTO: I have read on here that he is completely useless, so I am not too worried about him. HK-47: I think it is safe to assume he is best with blaster rifles, as he has those feats right off the bat. T3: Is he very good in battle compared to the other characters? I thought he was awesome on Peragus, but I don't know how he would hold up later in the game. Furthermore, is it best to equip him with one or two blasters? Those are all the characters that I have. As you can tell, I am very inexperienced with the game, and kind of suck at it, so please don't give me a hard time, haha. I did Nar Shadaa as my first planet, and I have suffered from character overload; within an hour, I recieved five new characters: Haindmaiden when I left Telos, revieved Mira and GOTO as part of the plot development, around this time I also recieved Visas, and when I finished the planet, HK was completely repaired. The problem is, I can only have three party members in my group at a time, and I find myself using characters I am already used to (Anton and Kreia, mostly. I am beginning to use HK a lot now, though). Any suggestions on what direction I should take each character in would be very helpful. Are there alot points in the game where you are forced to use certain characters? I know I was forced to use Bal Daur on Telos, are there any more situations like that? Sorry for the length of this, but any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
