I have to go for defense follow by counter attack!

Another great idea by the people who brought you beer milkshakes!

Which stat do you focus on?

 

Dexterity to improve your defence rating

or strength to improve the damage you cause.

 

I personally believe that killing someone quickly is easier than focusing on defence.  What styles will you focus on in TSL?

like karate 90% defense 10% offense, avoiding peoples attacks is the way to show them they are just a lil b*tch

 

hiiiiiii yaa :wub:

Looking at it I think lightside characters would focus on defence so they can survive longer whereas a darkside character would rather go for brute strength to finish off an enemy as quickly as possible, and not really care hoe many times they are hit.

 

The style would probably change depending on light/dark allegiance.

Attack is the best defense, isn't that what they say? ^_^

 

Yes they do but they also say that a good offense begins with a strong defense!

Offense. I prefer choking the life out of my enemies at a distance with my Dark Side Consular. :)

 

I personally can't wait to snap an enemy's spine like a twig, ala the Force Crush animation in the trailer.

I made this half-pony half-monkey monster to please you

But I get the feeling that you don't like it

What's with all the screaming?

You like monkeys, you like ponies

Maybe you don't like monsters so much

Maybe I used too many monkeys

Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you?

Ah but that is using force powers! What about when using a sabre?

Well....as a Consular it usually doesn't matter much, since I have my Strength and Dexterity both at 8 so I can concentrate on Wisdom and Charisma.

 

As such, when it does come to a saber fight, the only real option is defense. :)

But if u have a low dex then your defense is poor. So you would need amour but if u r using a lot of force powers then you dont want to be wearing amour!

 

Wait i'm confused! :)

Depends on the character, if Guardian, then offence. If Consular, then defence.

I prefer dex a lot. The bonuses to defense are a lot better than the bonuses to damage from strength.

 

But in principle, I think it's easier to kill an enemy before he hurts you than it is to wait him out. KOTOR just doesn't do a good job with this, mechanically speaking.
