Lightsaber-less - viable?

[Keyrock]

I'm starting KotOR 2 and my plan is to be a colossal manipulative d-bag to everyone (obviously dark side). I'll be a Sith Inquisitor (Consular) and plan to not use a lightsaber (because blocking blaster fire with my bare hands is WAY more badass). Any thoughts on whether this will be viable in the game?

Anything is viable end game. The game is very easy and the exile is very overpowered by the end. Even full light side, force storm took care of everyone in the room. The last fight might give you a little trouble, but you'll probably figure it out.

 

Play it however you'll have fun with it.

It is entirely possible to build a gunslinger with the feat that lets you block blaster shots with your bare hands

 

I am still a bit miffed that the original kotor forced my badass rogue to change class into a whimpy jedi.

I hated that too.

 

In KotOR 2 I start out as a Jedi so staying one (or going Sith) is something I came to grips with right at the beginning of the game. I won't be slinging guns though, I'll be slinging my voice at enemies and frying them with lightning. If they get in close I'll kick them in the face.

Scorchy did it.

No reason why you shouldn't...
