There is a drop down card centered on the targeted enemy where you get your choice of attacks, ranged, mele and force powers, thats about it, other than that you have no control over the outcome. You don't aim guns or swing swords. It's a realtime with pause button deal.

You only have one attack to begin with.....well, attack. You can gain more by getting new feats, and get things like Flurry and Rapid Shot.

[Hassat Hunter]

It is part turnbased/part realtime with the use of turns.

 

And wheter or not you actually hit (and then what kind of damage you do) is totally based on your characters statistiscs and a matter of luck...

[DarthVala]

and a matter of luck...

 

...which is why this game can get very aggrivating at times.

[Hassat Hunter]

Especially if for some reason the enemy gets 3 crits in a row and your party is dead 10 sec after the fight broke loose (had that on Telos Plateau )

[DarthVala]

Yeah, that specific spot always gives me problems.

[LadyCrimson]

Fighting 'flows' mostly in real-time, except...in order to give commands for what attacks you want to use, you'll pause the game frequently. Or, if you're like me, incesstantly.

 

So if you're wondering if the game is action/shooter-paced...no it's not, imo.

[DarthVala]

Yeah, its definately a slower paced game. And its not all attacks, healing by medpacs takes turns away from you ( ).

Unless you use it from the inventory screen

[DarthVala]

Still, only being able to use one per round can get tiresome if your near dead and have to constantly go to the inventory screen to heal.

[Darth Soterios]

being dark side, i prefer the drain life power (i forget the name of the 2nd level one) to heal while damaging the enemy.

Ah yes, my lil' secret weapon when fighting against Malak for very first time

[Dark_Raven]

I'll have to try that next time.

You can do WHAT now? I want to yell "that's cheating!", and then go and try it out.

 

Oh, and yeah, the combat in Kotor 1 and 2 has a really nice flow to it, once you get used to it.

[Hassat Hunter]

It is actually in both Kotors...

I believe it's called Death Field

 

That power totally lost its potential in KotoR 2. Only two DS force powers worth mentioning must be Kill (3rd class Force Choke) and Force Lightning (the third one should be Force Crush, but i'm not counting that one since LS cannot use it )

Lightsaber fights are really cool in KotOR 1 and 2, But blaster vs. blaster gets kinda boring after a while

^ K1 had different animations for Flurry and the others.

For blasters; have you equipped two while running?

looks really cool

Yes I have, And (Xbox version) pressing "Y" while running is pretty cool. Western style tricks with blasters altough nothing beats two lightsabers "sheated" and then pressing "Y"

What i meant was that, for example, flurry only had one animation in K1. In K2 there were 3 different animations for flurry.

 

And yes, i have equiped the blasters while running a few times. Looks cool, but equipping two melee weapons while running looks even cooler.

ah, no... i think it was only one animation for every aspect of combat in K1. running and drawing duoble lightsabers are even cooler then melee weapons.
