Darth Drabek

Wow.... I had some serious deja vu when I read the first post of this topic. Of course, that's because I read it a long time ago Anyway, kudos on actually checking out the old posts for info. I'm sure the forum elders get quite tired of answering the same questions every week asked from a different newb, so I bet they appreciate it. And hell, we still don't know any more about this character than we did back in August, so speculate allllll night long!

Oh, and thanks for the correction on the Sentinel save numbers. Maybe I thought they were higher because I usually start with scouts. I loooooove the scout class. Implant for free, flurry, uncanny dodge AND repair as a class skill? Awesome.

Yeah, that was pretty dumb. I only used a soldier starting class once, and I never put a feat into heavy armor proficiency for my scouts, so I usually ended up selling the Sith mask off. It was quite a nice addition for that soldier/consular though.

I suppose the devs had to allow for the possibility that someone might want to use heavy armor for their Jedi PC. I don't know why anyone would want to limit their dex bonus or lose the ability to use armor-restrictive force powers. Hell, now that the robes look cool there's really no reason to wear armor at all. What I want to know is this: Since Sentinels are basically the scout of the Jedi classes, will they get Implant for free? Cause if you add that onto immunities, great saves and the increased emphasis on skills in this game and I just might have to play as one.

My favourite build (also Scout) is pretty similar except that I take Dex at 16 and Wis 10. This is because I go for a Guardian Light Side Master with the Wis boosting LS-only robe and headgear. I also prefer an all-Jedi party so with the likes of Jolee there to back me up I have more than enough force points for my needs. I take Dex at an even number because, as a Scout 8/ Guardian 12 I can hit Dex 26 from level ups and that level 3 implant which gives +5 Dex. In general I don't worry too much about odds or evens, if I can't make the best use of an item one of the NPCs usually can and items give both odd and even bonuses. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Very interesting... I have the Xbox version (w/o downloadable content) so I never had the "mastery" bonuses that PC users had. I wonder if there will be mastery bonuses in KOTOR 2. I don't really like the idea, because I tend to play neutral anyway, and I don't like missing out.

F*ck your couch Darkness!

You get 200,000 cool points in my book for referencing Street Fighter. And the reference is valid, too. Scion is a thug. I am quite pumped that the apprentice will actually have more than two lines and an anticlimatic fight scene this time. 'Cuz Bandon sucked as a character. You need to develop the apprentice more than they did with him. That is one of my only complaints with the first KOTOR.

I'm leaning toward playing as a Guardian, because I really want to see how much damage a Guardian/Weapons Master can deal out. The new saber styles are quite intriguing too. If I give him 14 INT I will still have a decent amount of skill points to throw around too, so I won't miss out too much. The only thing that could sway me to a Sentinel is some sweet free feats. For instance, if they get implant for free like scouts did I might have to alter my plans. :D

And since we're just speculating anyway, I have my doubts about the protocol droid's demise being an accident. HK droids have been shown to be quite capable of independent action and are programmed to seize any opportunity to get closer to its target...

Well, the owner of the datapad knows the difference between a HK droid and a protocol droid; he (or she) uses both terms on the datapad. And I doubt anyone familiar with HK-47 would refer to him as a protocol droid.

Well, I usually picked scout as the first class because of high saving throws and quality free feats. I haven't really decided what I'll start as in KOTOR 2. I usually choose 15 Dex and keep the others at even numbers. If I go guardian it's usually 14 STR, 15 DEX, 10 CON, 14 INT, 12 WIS and 12 CHA and I put all my points into Dex, upping other stuff with items. For a Sentinel I like to drop the INT to 10 because of the already high amount of skills and use those points to buff WIS and CHA to 14 each. Moving two from STR to CON makes up some hit points, but with high defense and immunities you don't really need it. I think this strategy is pretty universal; does anyone have other cool builds?

HA! New screenshot with Atton Seriously, this guy needs to hit on every girl in the game. I will laugh so hard... Maybe then people will stop calling him gay.

Awesome... any info is good info. This influence stuff sounds interesting. And those are some QUALITY screenshots!

I think George is just making it up as he goes along... which is his prerogative, it's his work after all. And how strong are Jedi? Well, I heard that there was this Jedi who was eating at a diner. And when some dude dropped a spoon the Jedi killed the whole town! And that's what I call REAL Ultimate Power!

On the subject of waiting for the game: For me, the timing couldn't be better. I've been quite busy with classes and job apps but I will have a nice six-week break from Thanksgiving to New Year's. A lot of that time will be devoted to KOTOR 2, as I am an American Xbox owner. On the topic of avatars: I haven't seen many Sam Elliot's on this board. Well, sometimes there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place. :cool:

With all the reading in KOTOR and RPGs in general, I'd say playing them has to make you more fluent in the language! I'm a senior Journalism major at Ohio University.

Oh come on, you ladies get that tiger Atton Rand. That makes two...err, 1 and a half.

"It's Hedley!!!" :angry: <rubs head> ... "How did he do such amazing stunts...with such small feet?!?"

Thanks. However, this will probably serve as fuel to the fire for those who were clamoring for customizable hilts in KOTOR 2. Whoops.

Will the starting classes gain bonus feats comparable to their related non-Jedi classes? Ex. Will the Sentinel get implant feats for free, as it is a natural extension of the scout, what with its immunities and all. Obviously this would not be directly lifted, as there is no precedent for a starting Consular to come with Scoundrel's Luck. But I would like to see new bonus feats that enhance the natural abilities of our chosen class, like melee attack bonuses for Guardian, attribute or save reinforcement for Sentinels and extra defense or force points for Consulars. Thanks for reading (and hopefully, answering).

Ha.... it's the Sith Lord Robert Goulet!

Here is a site I found on a list of SW-related links a while ago. Ree-diculous amount of detail on the subject of lightsabers. http://www.thelightsaber.com/history1.htm

Well jeez, I didn't expect a Spanish Inquisition.... Ya know, a nod's as good as a wink to a blind bat!

Okay... Following the end of the Mandalorian Wars, our PC landed on Maanan. He served five years in the Ahto City prison for slicing up the New York city cab driver turned Pazaak shark in the mercenary enclave after a off-kilter comment about Derek Jeter caused the old man to pull a blaster. The Selkath judges, Yankees fans to a man..err, fish, gave him five years for instigation and appendage removal. Now a free man, he learns about the new Sith Lord, Darth Diesel. Twisted by the dark side, Darth Diesel did not know that greed and arrogance lead down the dark path. After his action film career crashed and burned, his massive ego would not be sated until he had the galaxy in his grasp. He traveled to the highest mountains of Korriban to train under the eccentric and reclusive Sith Master, Kristofer Walken, to harnass his anger and learn the way of the Sith. Welcome back to the stage of history..... KOTOR 2

Wow.... See what I missed daydreaming through philosophy 101? I learned my great philosphers from Monty Python! IIIIIImmanuel Kant was a real pissant who was very rarely stable Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar who could drink you under the table...
