Krookie Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 I'm just wondering if it's worth playing through Darksided. I've only gone through once as a LS male, and have been thinking of giving the game another shot.
Dark_Raven Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 Yes, play through Darkside it has it's own rewards and merits just like playing Lightside. But play as a female, they look better Darkside than the male portraits do. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Judge Hades Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 I played dark side with the Jesus head model and let me tell you, the dark side Jesus looks f***ed up.
Sabahattin Dere Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 Especially when you get the halo with him LS, it starts to feel a little creepy. Zwangvolle Plage! M

Musopticon? Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 Not to him, it isn't. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
HK-47_THE_MEATBAG_KILLER Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 if you go dark side, never go all the way. only go about 3/4 dark side, to keep your good looks. and definitely go female, the DSF actually are somewhat good looking. the guys are just plain ugly. just remember when you go dark side, the others do to (atton, bao-dur) and they really get the zombie look "Are you an angel? Aw, I'm just kidding. That's the worst line I've ever used. Hope some poor kid doesn't start using it."

ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 It has it's moments. Though I dont play the sides to those extremes most of the time. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback]
DarthReliguim Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 Playing DS is the only playthrough worth playing.
Krookie Posted April 11, 2006 Author Posted April 11, 2006 (edited) O RLY? Edited April 11, 2006 by Krookie
Dark_Raven Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 YA RLY. Playing Darkside is an enjoyable experiance. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Krookie Posted April 11, 2006 Author Posted April 11, 2006 I always find myself just about to play it, then dreading Peragus.
Dark_Raven Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 I don't like Peragus. I go through that quickly. I even skip over places where you can pick up loot in order to get out of there. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
LunarG Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 I played all the way to Malachor V as dark side a little while ago (couple of weeks ago), and found playing darkside to be pretty lame. There's no REAL darkside/lightside challenges in the game. I mean, who ever heard of people falling to the darkside by just being plain ****. Most people who fall to the dark side do it for all the right reason so to speak. They don't actively try to treat everyone around them like crap. Just look at how Anakin became Darth Vader... He just wanted a way to protect his loved ones... And he pretty much treated everyone with the same respect he allways did, up until the point when he was completely consumed by the dark side. In Kotor there's no difficult moral choices you face... There's no "lure" of the dark side, no choices that might seem so RIGHT at the time, but eventually turns out to lead to the dark side...no... You have to walk around treating everyone like they are ****e, and be a complete and utter **** all the time... As seeing as all the good sarcasm in the game is reserved for HK-47 (and that isn't even half as good as it was in the first game) you can't even throw off any nice comments to anyone... Nope... Playing through the game as Dark Side for other reasons than: 1. Getting more dialogue/storyline. 2. You actually enjoy being an ****. or 3. You actually ARE an ****. Really isn't very worthwhile in my opinion. Now take a look at fallout... It has no "good/evil" paths, but the evil acts you can do are usually acompanied by lots of very funny and sarcastic comments... Atleast that feels worthwhile For Kotor3 i'd like to get rid of the "darkside/lightside meter" and get rid of those "darkside points gained/lightside points gained" thingies... And instead get some DECENT moral choices throughout the game...That leads you in one direction or the other... Sure, there should be ways of seeing wether you are lightside or darkside (by the changes in appearance for one and maybe the color behind your character in the character screen) but the choices you make would have a much bigger impact if they weren't allways so obvious. And it would be much more of a challenge to keep to the straight and narrow if even what seems like the right choice could eventually lead you down the path of the dark side. I'm ofcourse not saying that there's any more of a challenge in playing light side in Kotor2, but atleast you get to save the galaxy and help lots of people... and atleast that's some reward... To me it is atleast.
Musopticon? Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 I feel mortal pain when I say this and cringe while I type it, but I agree with you. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
Sturm Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 I don't like Peragus. I go through that quickly. I even skip over places where you can pick up loot in order to get out of there. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> peragus, and malachor 5 make me wana quit - before even playing
ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 I like Peragus. It's about the only time I never felt uber and it has a nice feeling of isolation. Malachor is kind of non descript and at that point the game lacks any sort of challenge. It is kind of fun blasting through the myriad Sith though makes you feel godlike. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback]
