Ds or LS

[Cathryn]

Whenever I talk to someone who is playing the game for the first time, I tell them to play LS, then DS...because DS is so rewarding after playing through as an unpaid errand girl You never know, might actually be fun - put it on max difficulty though.

 

I think someone made a balancing mod for the DS powers, I need to try that.

I like more LS, because there are better dialogs than DS.

[darthbass123]

I like LS simply because it is light side. Dark Siders are weak!!

You get more Xp helping random people then killing them. It's like 75 per fight and 250-350 to help them out on a quest.

[Calax]

what about when you get the sick guy to kill himself?

[Sober]

If you're LS, you're a bad man, especially so for not putting ranks into Treat Injury.

 

If you're DS, it feels somewhat manipulative.

[metadigital]

Yeah, the leader of the Illuminati needs to die. Wait, what were you talking about?

[LadyCrimson]

Only problem with that is you'll get no influence whatsoever with Disciple since he's probably the biggest goody-goody in the game.

 

Doesn't matter one whit, since influence/bad-influence achieves the same result...except maybe w/Handmaiden or something, I think?

 

I played DS my 1st time through and once I got over the "I'm a goody two shoes" mental issues I had a blast. Definitely try it once.

That said, once I finished that game and went for LS, I've gone LS every time. I prefer the way the NPC's look LS.

I'm so shallow.

It's alot easier and funner with light side because your party members are mostly influenced by light decisions so you cna get them to Jedi faster and easier.

[metadigital]

Funner?

I prefer playing as a lightside female Exile. I've tried playing DS, but I couldn't get with it very far before getting sick of DS

The other problem with DS people is they tend to look old. I'm all for intimidating appearances, but did you see a DS master Disciple? He doesn't look intimidating, he just looks like he belongs in a home. I'm all for tweaking the DS facial appearances.

 

However, I am and always will be a LS fan. I'm a sucker for helping people out. And the games make it so easy. (although, at least in K1 I didn't get scolded for being LS) " I have now only just began a DS playthrough for both KOTOR's. Although I must admit it's quite fun and it is worth trying out. One of the things that makes it easier for me to be DS is just to imagine that they are all actors playing a part in a play. That, and they are just pixelated people.

I'm still trying to figure out why people have such a difficult time playing as DS. It's a ROLE playing game, so I don't get how people can't put themselves into the role, especially when the game is that much more fleshed out when you play it both ways and see the events unfold from both perspectives.

[darthbass123]

for the first kotor i played not as light or dark but as myself so i turned out to be real big coward. :"> :'(

If the dialogue doesn't mach the role you want to play (i.e. a smart "Darth Sidious" manipulator-type character, rather than a kick-the-puppy-type character) then it's hard to get into the character.

 

I mean, really, what's my motivation? "

That just means you're not a very good roleplayer if you can't adept to different roles presented to you. "

No, it means that roleplaying a sack-of-kittens-drowner is boring and not fun, so doing it is more a chore than a recreation.

 

You go ahead, though, obviously you need to be cruel in order to balance out how you feel after those nasty bullies picked on you at school ... "

[Dark Moth]

Drown those kittens, and your journey to the darkside will be complete!

 

 

Oh great, 500 posts. I need to slow down.

'O.K., I looked into it. I use the same example- Sentinel/Watchman. I changed the character's alignment with cheat codes. And here is the result- with the maximum amount of darkside points the Exile gained +6Dex( +3Dex for being a Sentinel and +3Dex for Sith Assassin). So, a LS Assassin should gain +6Con- +3 for Sentinel and +3 for Watchman). The same should happen with all the other prestige classes. For mixed classes the result should be the same. A LIGHT Guardian/Sith Lord should get the +3 Str and +3 Wis as a Jedi Master'

Above are the stats as posted by Bulgarian Jedi for both light/dark alignment. Both the light/dark side will yield similar increment attribute points. One is not better or easier than the other in terms of alignment mastery. Thus, you might have a dark-sided Consular/Jedi Master or perhaps a light-sided Consular/Sith Lord and still get points for alignment mastery.

Ehm, wrong thread?

 

Since this one was spammed to the limit already a few months ago, I'll lock it down now...
