The agony of picking a class

[Ivan the Terrible]

On the one hand, I really want to see those lightsaber styles and the development of my skills as I advance in levels. Thus, I'm tempted to play Guardian.

 

On the other hand, I really would like to have lots of skills and high mental attributes so I can see all the nifty little stuff sprinkled throughout the game by Obsidian for those with high stats/skills. I want to have a high Awareness AND Persuasion AND Repair, dangit!

 

And on yet another hand, I really would like to see all the nifty Force powers added to the game, and having a Force-based character also makes it easier for me to justify dumping tons of points into Wisdom and Charisma while letting physical stats atrophy. Plus, the Consular has sentimental value for me given that it's what I virtually always play in KOTOR 1, and frankly, I would enjoy being an official Jedi Master by the end of the game.

 

Sooo...ehhh....am I alone? Anyone else indecisiveness about what to pick?

[KOTORFanactic]

I am certain. I prefer the combat to the offensive force powers. Seems more effective.

 

SO as u all can guess, Guardian.

[Ameorn]

I'mleaning more toward consular. if Obsidian did a good job, you should be able to go through the game with minimal or none lightsaber combat for the PC, just the force.

[SilverSun]

Understandable,I'm really interested in seen what the skills have to offer in this game seeing how that's been on things that had a large effort made to improve. So a Sen is pry what'll start out with.

 

On the other hand I almost always went Con in Knights,as you said the Force power improvements are something else I want to see.

 

But I figure my first time through I can check out the different powers through all the different Jedi characters but I can't see how much the Skills for the PC have been improved on another character.

 

So I'll pry go Sen my first time,though that's not 100%.

One of the most entertaining battles in KOTOR 1 for me was facing those Mandalorian raiders on Kashyysk without a weapon in my hand (they only appear when they face unarmed opponents) and then not even bothering to equip my lightsaber when they came into view. My character just used insanity, then Force Choked 'em all to death.

 

Poetic Justice, baby.

[Kazic]

I haven't decided yet. Maybe Sen though, since that's the middle of the road, or maybe guardian. I'd think kreia woud be a consular, so she'd be able to back me up force power wise. but then you never know what she'll be.

 

Maybe you can train your apprentice to be the class of your choice?

[Judge Hades]

It doesn't matter what class you pick. They are all Jedi/force using classes and they all pretty much play the same.

[SilverSun]

I think it's combo of you playing them same and your own personal bias against anything Jedi in games.

 

But if that floats your boat,more power to ya.

[Jon_DS]

i will play sentinel, like in my first kotor1 game, but when i have the game in my hands anything can happen

[Darth Drabek]

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

[GarethCarrots]

leaning towards consular for mi first time playthrough, if obsidian nail it i reckon itll make for a v interestin route, however in the end il revert to smash n grab guardian just for the sheer pleasure of ownin evry1 n ne1 in a fite

[Force Reaper]

I'm going LS male Guardian from the start, and later on I'll take Weaponmaster for a prestige class.

[DarthRevan987]

If i play as a Jedi I will go with Guardian for the Force Jump and high vital points...Then i might jump to Jedi Watchmen for the skill points

[Ivan the Terrible]

Guess the sabers have it.

[Laozi]

I'm thinking I'll start off as a sentinal and then Jedi master for my prestige class

[MASTER]

sentile and dark lord first time through.

[Rosbjerg]

I want to play as a Consular/master first .. I like to use force instead of violence!

[Indalecio]

I am leaning towad playing a Consular, and eventually Jedi Master, but if Sentinel looks attractive enough, I might play that.

[starwarskid15_19]

i mtorn between guardian and sentinal. i want guardian so i can chop up everyone but sentinal because i want to see the new dialogue options and stuff

[Lord Satasn]

I'll be all of them of course, cuz I'll play thru multiple times...buuuut....guardian first.....force powers seemed weak in kotor even when I placed my stats wisely, and I'd run out of force fast lol...and Malak was impossible to beat with force....it didnt do anything to him...

[Darth Nole]

It doesn't matter what class you pick.  They are all Jedi/force using classes and they all pretty much play the same.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Ummmm.....not really. <_<

 

But I dont know what class i'm going to be....yet.

 

Leaning towards Gardian, just to get those cool new fighting styles. :D

I found Force Wave to be quite effective against him .. on my first play through I was a very poorly constructed Scout/Consular .. And the only way to defeat him was with force powers, he shredded me if I went to close!

[Lord Satasn]

aha I made a viscious guardian, so I just rushed him and prayed that my stats would rule out bad luck on the system's "chance" factor

Yeah I should've went Guardian too .. It's just a habit of being the Mage kind of class in every game I play first time through! to get the most of the dialouge ..

[Stargate: 2000]

I am leaning more towards a gaurdian for the first play through, although I am also thinking that a consular would be interesting (after seeing the screen where it says its only for advanced players).
