Feats At the Start.

[SilverSun]

Has it been said when we create our character how many feats we'll get to place? Or start with?

 

In Knights I believe it was set up so the Solider had 9 and the other two 8 and everyone got to place one feat. A lot of the feats,unless you making a Blaster Jedi or Armor Jedi, were wasted after Taris. I'm sure there will be class specific feats for the different Jedi classes,but would they put as starting feats,long ranged feats? Or melee? So does that mean less feats at the start? Would we have more then one feat we can pick at the start? I.E. 4 or 5 feats depending on the class preset and then 4 or 5 we get to place. Or did they come with 8 or 9 preset Jedi class feats?

[DarthRevan987]

Probably the same as KOTOR 1....two feats at the start

[starwarskid15_19]

i wonder what the new jedi feats will be

[SilverSun]

Same as Knights how,with what preset feats they give?

 

Why do that? I mean I understand the draw to doing a Blaster Jedi or an Armor Jedi but the feats for those styles shouldn't be the preset ones. They pretty much get wasted if you don't use one of those.

 

And didn't eveyone get one feat to place at the start?

[Archmonarch]

I wonder if youll still get lightsaber proficiency even though you're so out of practice from your exile.

You pry do,you just don't have access to a saber anytime near the start of the come. Considering the comment on the IGN saber article about not everyone getting a saber at the same time it would be a real blow to gain a saber but not have th feat to use it. And you do start as Jedi,I can see one feat placed in it. Could be wrong too.

 

Can we assume that Kreia,"misplaced" her saber? Other wise the PC could just take hers. If you do start out with the feat.

 

Maybe you gain the feat as soon as you first get your saber.

[Archmonarch]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

That would be...timely.

[SilverSun]

Right there with the auto level when you became a Jedi...

[DarthRevan987]

And useful

[Ghangy]

i think that with all the different robes we're gonna get, that we're gonna get jedi specific feats to choose from : light/medium/heavy armor => padawan/knight/master robes.

[SilverSun]

Interesting idea,but seeing how you could use Jedi,Jedi Knight,and Jedi Master robes without feats in the first one I don't see them making you need a feat to use on in this game.

 

Never know though.

[starwarskid15_19]

it would be interesting like maybe only bein able to use some of the uber cool ones after u get a prestige class and maybe class specific robes this time.

[Planar Jedi]

That would be cool, but i find it ulikely. Perhaps though kin of SF robes(with hoods) will appear, or masks that cover the whole head

[Evil_Manbeastly_Beast]

if we dont start out with saber profficiency then maybe when we get a saber kreia ''teaches'' us how to use a saber again =\ thus earning us saber profficiency...

 

im probably waaaay off but no harm in trying

[starwarskid15_19]

sounds good to me

 

it can be in a cutscen where you meditate too. if they do it better than kotors training id like another cutscene

Was it actually said that we won't be able to get _a_ lightsaber before we'd have a chance to retrieve the PC's lightsaber? IIRC, the devs said that this time it is just a side quest, not part of the main quest. And yes, the PC's lightsaber is apparently special and worth tracking, but I doubt very much that those of us who decide against it would just have to play through the game without any Jedi weapon.

 

I hope that we start the game with a melee weapon feat and a firearm feat, as the PC has been surviving without the Force for 5 years. Don't know about the armor - in KOTOR the PC got the armor feats from the non-Jedi class and pure Jedi NPCs didn't have any. Maybe a light armor feat to show for those 5 years, too, maybe not. Probably we'd have one additional feat to chose, as in KOTOR.

 

As to Kreia's weapon, IIRC she is never shown with a lightsaber on Peragus and some screens on other planets show her with melee weapon as well, so perhaps she also lost her lightsaber when getting to Peragus and needs to replace it. Or maybe we can just appropriate hers as soon as the PC gets reconnected to the Force (I hope that it doesn't take as long as in the first part for it to happen).

Just to knitpick: "Surviving" does not necessarily mean "killing people." Nothing says that the PC wasn't living a peaceful-but-dull existence back on Uncle Owen's farm for those years.

...as well as gaining some nice bantha herder levels in the meantime.

I'm pretty sure we'll be able have a lightsaber before doing the optional quest to gain the PC's. We just don't know when or where that will be,and apparently it won't be the same for everyone.

As was pointed out,wasn't really said what the PC has been doing. Everyone's welcome to their POV and I can respect yours. Personally I'd rather a meele and ranged weapon feats be up to the person creating the character to place because more often then not they're going to unused and could have been better used else where in those cases.

 

As to Kreia's weapon, IIRC she is never shown with a lightsaber on Peragus and some screens on other planets show her with melee weapon as well, so perhaps she also lost her lightsaber when getting to Peragus and needs to replace it.

Yes she was,but the screens could simply have been taken to show off different things. The Devs can set up whatever little scene they want for a screen. Doesn't mean it made it into the final version. Though she is a Jedi and on the official site she's shown with a saberstaff,so you never know.

One of the new feats might be specializing in a specific form of lightsaber combat. Perhaps you have to choose early on which of the seven forms you want to master.

 

But to answer the question, I don't think they've stated for sure. Your topic just got me thinking about the 7 forms of lightsaber combat.

[SilverSun]

 

Okay.

 

Lightsaber forms should make for a nice little feature.

[Zach Morris]

I would love it if there were no pregiven feats. But they would let you choose like 4 on your first level up. I would love that. The more customization the more fun I have.

 

I like the fact of needing to use feats for better robes.

[213374U]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

In fact I hate that idea. It's bad enough that Jedi robes are treated as some kind of special uber-armor which only Jedi can use, it would be reeeeally cheap if you needed a special training to wear them effectively. They are simply clothes after all. Since when did you need training to wear your pants?

[SilverSun]

I agree with the training comment,don't like the idea of feats for robes.Disagree with with the idea that treating them as a style of "armor" is a bad thing. Jedi being the only one that can use them is about the what the robes mean,it's like a uniform,it shows they're Jedi.

[213374U]

All right. But this is a RPG after all isn't it? You should be allowed to do whatever you felt like (within reason). Anyway, I wouldn't really mind if only Jedi could wear Jedi robes, but it's a long way from there to considering a piece of cloth a +5 armor with max DEX bonus of +8, and an extra +5 to WIS. Darth Bandon's armor was balanced and coherent with the SW universe. Qel-Droma's & SF robes, were not.

 

If the standard clothes had looked like Jedi robes, that's all I would have worn in K1.
