i could care less about the PC's lightsaber, just gimme one. im pretty sure that your gonna fight some sith on the first planet or somewhere 5-6 hours in the game (much like the time frame when you got a lightsaber in the first game).

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

You have to remember that Obsidian is shooting for the same length as the first game. I though that the original Kotor was gonna be super long. BG2 in length. I rushed and did barely any sidequests, not even big interesting ones. You can imagine how disapointed I was when I beat the game in 20 hours. Rather than the 30-40 I could have gotten out of it.

Bandon's added special qualities to your crystals.

Only if you got it on manan, iirc.

I didn't even know that....dang!!! Well time to go play it agian.

Will you be able to choose whether the PC's lightsaber(s) is a single, double, or just duel sabers? (I hope so because I really want to be able to have a regular lightsaber in each hand)

I like the theory of the PC's lightsaber being given to you by Revan. That would be so sweet .

 

I also wonder if the PC's lightsaber is predetermined or will you get to choose if it is single, double or duel bladed. Most likely single if predetermined.

Wouldn't that mean Revan would have to make an appearance relatively early in the game? Otherwise you'd be without a powerful lightsaber for most of the game since I'm hoping that Revan's appearance will coincide with a climactic part of the game (ie. 3/4 of the way thru, much like the "revelation" in KOTOR1 aboard the Leviathan).

If light saber you wield is special or our old one to say at least, wouldnt that mean it is generitic, for it to match you weapon skill.

 

So if you use 1hand or 2hand it wouldnt matter in the sense of being able to use it?

 

If not i fear i might to give up my passion for Dual bladed saber.

There is good reason why it wasn't really rare before; you were part of the Jedi AND fought against the Sith. It would be reasonable for you to pick up some lightsabers. However, the Jedi is all but gone now, and the Sith (at least it seems in the beginning), aren't going to give you any free gifts.

That's not exactly what I meant. I meant that the reason why the lightsaber is special is because Revan gave it to you during the Mandalorian Wars as a sign of his admiring your courage and fighting ability or bravery etc.

 

But I agree with your wanting to meet up with Revan at a climatic part of the game. The action is getting thick and you are almost done with whatever your mission is and... BOOM here comes the man, the myth, the legend REVAN!!! (w00t)

im sure something was said that it MIGHT have a special hilt....and i think it was also said you may be able to create your own from scratch....not 100% sure though

I also like the idea of Revan giving you a special lightsaber in recognition of your leadership and heroism in the Mandalorian Wars.

 

Maybe the lightsabre heightens your connection to the Force, giving your more Force points/Force regeneration points?

I don't think it will be a gift from anyone. If Revan/PC were still light during the Mandalorian War, they probably considered lightsabers just tools, so there is no point in awarding the PC a tool. Remember all that Jedi-aren't-supposed-to-have-attachments babbling. Furthermore, if the PC was powerful enough to catch Revan's eye, he should have no problems building his own lightsaber.

 

I myself don't like much the idea of having an uber special saber, it seems a bit cheesy. I'd settle for a unique hilt model (a la Malak).

I think it took to long in K1 before you finally got your own lightsaber and forcepowers. I just hope it doesn't takes that long in K2

But there was also 'Councilmember Simon Says: Don't fight the Mandalorians!' and Revan and the PC did, so I don't imagine them listening to the Jedi code a lot.

also i think that lightsabers are exempt from that, besides its a dodgy rule, howcome jedi didnt die out if the jedi werent allowed to hav kids, they had kids basically

Actually, I hope it is just as long if not longer to get yourlightsaber. It feels so good to get you lightsaber when you play JO or K1 because you accomplished so much to get it.

You are right, it feels good, but in KotOR 1, when you started the game, you where a non-jedi class. This means being at least proficient in at least one weapon you could use during the Taris part of the game.

 

In KotOR 2 you start out as a jedi, so I think it's a waste of feats to improve your non-lighstsaber weapon feats. Because after you get your lightsaber you'll probably never use other weapons.

 

Or, you could let a partymember do all the fighting for you, but since your first partymembers probably will be t3, Kreia and Atton, you'll have a lack of melee fight power, because somehow I don't see them as decent melee fighters.

 

I don't know who else joins your party before you find your lightsaber, but after 3 or 4 partymembers, I think you'll reach the point in the game where you get your lightsaber.

I understand what you are saying. But there were so many feats to pick from that did not concern lousy guns and what not. There were feats that added points to your persuade, security, etc etc. Plus there were the feats that you could get that were attacks and my personal favorites the Implants I can't wait to get those again.

with the lack of sabers in the beginning im gonna put points in unarmed and lightsaber so ill be good at saber when i get it

Why put points on particular weapons Specialization Feats? There are other useful feats, too. And don't forget there are Single Weapon/Double Weapon Specialization and thei are absolute must. I don't think you'll get more than 4-6 feats until you get hold of your lightsaber. The time up till then will be perfect for non-combat feats like Conditioning. Considering all this, I'm not going to waste my points for weapon other than lightsaber.

it gives me a reason to try the unarmed combat

im gunna be using one of my npcs as a specifically unarmed fighter

Why? Do you expect to see kung-fu moves?

MY Lightsaber will be special alright...It will be the lightsaber that will take Sion's head off :: grins ::

i see ur point exar i just kinda wanna see what its like and then after that ill use my saber. besides we got like 40 levels to level up its not gonna kill me to try like level 1 unarmed. im not sure if ill even play unarmed yet its just an idea

Hm... Isn't the unarmed combat non-common in the SW universe?

Aaaa! Now I get your point.... You want to be the first Jedi to kill Sith Lord without using lightsaber in combat... Never thought of that.... :cool:
