Obviously you will not go in unprepared. You don't necessarily have to have any medpacs, though. You don't need to be forced to have them or whatever. Freedom. Choice. A Role-Playing game. Not a you-get-4-frag-grenades-before-you-play-Outskirts-on-Halo 2 kind of thing. What you seem to be saying there, well, it kind of just goes without saying.
Is it just me or is that shortly after you change your avatar your old one will sometimes pop up? Even if you had removed the old one before uploading the new one and refreshed the profile page? This happens to me every time I make edits. Explorer and Mozilla.
Note: In ghost mode my avatar is over-stretched vertically and my ghost personal picture is normal. The comments pictures are also ghosts when this happens.
I caught a picture of it:
Doesn't look very stretched there.
I liked the forced feeling of K2. You're stuck with the Telos ordeal. You're stuck on Onderon/Dxun. Nar Shadda drama. Goto issues, etc. K1 is little boring, just pick and go.
You went off into a glitch-solve tone, when we finally get a KotOR2 thread not about a glitch, character, or location, of which get old quickly. If you have equip suggestions or something you should just tell them, but do what you want.
BEWARE OF LARGE IMAGES AND POSSIBLE SLOW DOWNLOADING
Click avatar. In the tiny window, right click which one you want to use. Click "Save Image As" and save it on the desktop to be safe (Example name "Republic clone").
In Obsidian Control Panel, click "Remove Avatar"
Next, click "Browse". Find the republic clone image and double click it.
It should appear on Obsidian.
Finally, click "Update Avatar".
