Peragus/Taris preference

[linda]

I've read a few posts here and there about how people like Peragus better than Taris in Kotor1, and I just thought I'd ask "Why?" I think I liked Taris better: the music, meeting the players, and the totally different environments within the one world. For instance, you got involved with the gangs and swoop racing, pazaak, the cantina and the duels, the lower city/sewers and the rakgouls (sp). There was a lot to it. After doing Peragus, I feel like I mainly did one thing, explore the same kind of environment and kill the same kind of baddie.

 

I am enjoying the game, but I just saw those posts saying that Peragus was so much better. Maybe I should just play the game and not compare it to kotor1, huh! (I liked the Endar Spire (Kotor1) intro better than the Ebon Hawk intro, too)

Where did you see those posts?

 

I thought most people here like Taris better...

[linda]

It may not have been here. I have been reading stuff from all over about this game. Lots of game review sites. So mostly the people here agree with me?

*Spoilers warning*

So don't read unless you completed Kotor2 atleast once

 

Malachor V vs. Star Forge, and Peragus vs. Taris/Endar Spire

To me, Taris is equivalent to Telos in the games. Paragus is like a longer Endar Spire.

[Judge Hades]

I prefer Peragus over the Endar Spire because it is in character while the Endar Spire was a total out of character experience. I also prefered Telos over Taris. But I did prefer the Star Forge over Malachor.

To me, Taris is equivalent to Telos in the games.  Paragus is like a longer Endar Spire.

Kinda agree there, but to me its more like Dantooine is the equivalent of Telos, because its the second real planet in the game, but i guess you could say Telos is the first real planet in K2

 

But yeah i agree with everything the thread starter says about the two planets .

 

P.S. Welcome to the boards linda!

Here's a poll I made a while ago:

Poll: Comparing Intro Levels

 

My vote was for Taris and still is - reasons said in that thread.

Taris, hands down. :cool:

 

This is the best planet of both KotOR parts.

[BattleCookiee]

Comparing Taris to Telos due to the Endar Spire is bad...

 

It would be more like:

 

Endar Spire - Ebon Hawk with T3

Peragus - Taris

Telos - Dantooine

I prefer Taris, simply because there is more going on.

 

Overall I like heavily populated planets more than the empty ones.

[Bulgarian Jedi]

Both places are interesting, challenging, and very, very long. I prefer Taris because Peragus II is way too empty and repetative. Also the atmosphere of Taris was much better.

[Jambo]

I think in some ways the Prologue and Peragus are like The Endar Spire and a little bit like Telos. But I think that Telos while on the Citadel Station is a lot like Taris because you're running around, doing all of these tasks to get off the Citadel Station, just like you were running around trying to get off Taris. And I think the Telos Restoration Zone is a lot like Dantooine because it's where you are set out to find the missing Jedi, just like you were sent out to find the Star Maps.

[Krookie]

I bet I would have played KotOR 2 more then twice had Paragus been different.

[Musopticon?]

Really fair to compare a bustling three level city to an abandoned mining moon. Especially when other isn't even an intro level, but a real planet.

[hysrix]

I liked the feel of Peragus, but it was very monotonous and kind of boring. Taris was a much better planet then Peragus. I did like Peragus more the Telos. I dread Telos for some reason, it's one of my least favorite planets. Taris wins best planet for the KotOR series hands down though, at least for me.

If anything I miss the cantinas, and the side quests they had.

 

Cantina Beakdown (KotOR I):

Taris (2)

Dantooine (1)

Manaan (2)

Korriban (1)

 

Cantina Beakdown (KotOR II):

Telos (1)

Onderon (1)

Nashadaa (2)

 

Alt the end, they were good games in their own right!

Wow, peragus was horrible. I kept saying to myself, "its going to get better, it has to get better." and for a short amount of time it did, then the ending happened (or didn't happen).

 

Peragus was three times worse than the endar spire in K1, let alone Taris. It was too long and boring and wow, couldn't you just mine your way through one of the walls to get to the ebon hawk? yes, you could.

[GhostofAnakin]

Taris. More NPC interaction.

[T'hen Malosk]

I liked Taris about 1,000,000,000,000 times more. The ONLY thing holding me back from playing K2 again is, of course...PERAGUS... ... <_<

[Dark Moth]

Taris, definitely. Peragus was just booooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiing.

 

On Taris, you had Pazaak, bounty hunting, swoop racing (albeit one scene), a dueling ring, several distinct levels, lots of characters to interact with, shops, and a decent amount of enemies to kill, from Sith, to gangs, to Rakghouls, and better party member interaction, I think.

 

Peragus was boring, monotonous, and way longer than necessary. Taris was long, but at least it had stuff to keep you interested.

[Gabrielle]

A lively Taris is better than a dead astroid.

[Plano Skywalker]

Taris, hands down. :cool:

 

This is the best planet of both KotOR parts.

true. Taris is incredibly immersive and 3-dimensional.

 

Peragus is a better Endar Spire but it could have been a bit shorter, IMO.

It would be more like:

 

Endar Spire - Ebon Hawk with T3

Peragus - Taris

I disagree, since on the Ebon Hawk you weren't using your character. Ender Spire and Paragus both had that feeling of urgency, you felt like you needed to get out of there, and fast. Taris and Telos were both big cities and it was really your first chance to really interact with NPC's.

[Judge Hades]

Peragus wasn't K2's Endar Spire. The Prologue was K2's Endar Spire.
