I currently have a DS consular and am trying to decide whether to go to Sith Lord or Sith Assassin. Which would be a better choice? What makes one way better than the other?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

I would choose Sith Assassin.

 

Sith Lord gives extra FP, but even as Maurader Force Crush can be spammed in the end.

Sith Lord gives more Force Powers, but really, after lvl 20 or so as any Jedi Class, you have all those you need/want, and the rest is just filling...

 

Sith Assassin has more Skills

Sith Assassin has more VP

I agree with BattleWookiee, but also, I'm a stealth player, so getting that force stealth power really came in handy.

I have to agree, and the Sith Assassin's Sneak attacks go well with Critical Strike, assuming you have a high strength modifier.

I'm right there with you on that one

I think if your character will appear on the front screen if you choose Sith Lord. Also, the marauder is not a bad choice.

Nah, only need is being DS in the end...

Thank you. It is not that I want to see a corpse on the start game screen.

That's why I chose a Marauder for my DS game. Good thing I got so bored of it that I erased all my saves. Anyway, thank you for the information.

The funny thing is that your character actually doesn't have the DS transition on the start-up screen.

I like my characters image on the start screen.

And has the standard DS stand animation unlike the other Sith Lords you can get at the start-up screen.

It'd also have looked better if Kreia would have had her Darth Traya skin. I wouldn't exactly call it a give-away.

That thing on the start screen happened. I used the trick to change the "Sith lord" on the screen. It showed me the darkside transition of my female character(one I added the max amount of Dark Side points to see what happens ). Strange why can't we see a lightside character there. This SUCKS! IT'S NOT FAIR!!!! I WANNA SEE MY LIGHT CHARACTERS THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :'( :'(

Heh maybe the only thing better in DS when playing K2 is that your character gets to be on the start menu. LOL

The whole purpose going DS is to get that.

And to soothe your inner childish self in the form of role playing an immature aspiring darksider.

Besides looking at the Prestige Class that you prefer, it depends on what attributes that you want to have for your PC. I generally go for Wisdom and/or Charisma, but also try to raise strength. I tried Sith Lord and found that having high Wisdom and Charisma also worked as a Watchman for me. (Since you are using Consular, the +4 DC to your offensive force powers will add to your force powers effectiveness rate)

Sith lord i'd choose, just because it's cooler and in the main menu, you get to see your character there

Good choice.

When do the people start understanding you also get on the main screen with a Maurader/Sentinel.

 

And then you even have the opportunity to do so with a cool Medium/Heavy Armor

Heh, a darkside Jedi Watchman( I repeat Jedi Watchman) was on the main screen.

It is enought only to be darksided.

Err... umm... l.... umm... *Coughs* Noooo! Don't Force Crush me!

If your PC is dark side female, I probably would not try having her on the main screen with the dancer's outfit.

well, i ain't one to go darkside, i am too much of a nice guy, when i play games, i put myself in the story, so i can relate to the character and well, it makes me too upset to be bad. :/

 

If you are lucky with your Stealth Power, go Sith Assassin, if you are just a force using junkie, go SithLord.

 

Since i am also a Stealthy player if given a choice when there are too many enemies to take out on my own, but it is a pity that any amount of cut-scenes immediately turns your stealth off which makes it a utterly useless power.

 

If the stealth power didn't cut your power off and the story allowed you to surprise enemies, it would have been better.

 

For Example: On Kotor I, when you arrive at Tatooine, you are heading to the Cantina and 3 Sith Jumps you, well, when i stealth up, the moment you come into view, bam, cut-scene and you decloak.....so, not a very good feature is it?

 

The same thing happens on Kotor II, if they did a Kotor III i hope the stealth has a role in the game now and then, also, cut-scenes should never, ever cut the stealth off.
