Well I'll keep this old thread alive...

I've played KOTOR through as both a light and dark side character. The plots are definetly different enough to make it worth replay. I love this game. Based on the single player mode it may be even better that Halo. The thing that makes Halo a better buy overall, IMO, is the awesome multiplayer features. Yes, I know that Halo is a FPS and KOTOR is a RPG, I compare the two only because they both kick major ass. I like KOTOR more than the GTA series, and that's saying something.

My only complaint was that the dark side was so obivious from the light.

Example

"Mister Mister can you help me?"

A: Help Woman
b: Kill her and eat her corpse

Just started it for the first time on PC. I'm liking it a lot so far. I know it'll only get better!

This game is awsome played through as light side. Gonna try it as a dark side. Kotor 2 should be awsome just not made by the same people but I am confident they will do a good job. Who would want to mess this up.

I have played it from the dark and light side now. Both very fun, and just enough variation to make it interesting.
Is it just me, or did anyone else feel like a complete ass when playing the dark side. Especially when I made Zaalbar kill Mission. Arghhh..

I didn't even play through as the Dark Side because it's only 30% of the game. The remaining 70% is the light side. The light side has way more substance to it and way more quests. While it is sorta funny to hear the answers you can say if you chose the dark side, going through the game like that just felt unrewarding after a few minutes. My guy was 100% light side, and it was awesome!

Just now playing it, despite having a copy for 6 months now. So far it's cool, though I have yet to get into anything big. I can't wait to become a jedi.

I actually avoided levelling up on Taris, and got to Dantooine as a level 2. By the time I learned the force and all, I was a level 6 with 6+ force abilities. NICE.. I should be able to max out most of the force powers I want now.

Damn, you must have skipped all of the Taris quests! I didn't "level up" either and got to level 12 or 13 before I got to Taris. I did do every single light side quest in the game, though...my character was probably that high because of my scouring of every quest in the game.

it depends on your build
if you're going some sorta consular or build which relys on force powers, by all means save them

but i found my 7/13 scout/sentinal to be far more efficient than my 2/18 scout/guardian =/

mainly because of the implants and i was so used to the immunity to mind-effects, man that sucked getting disabled for 20 seconds in the battle against darth bandon >_<


i know there is a killer build, which i might try out next which is the 7/13 scoundrel/guardian, you need lvl7 scoundrel to get all the sneak attack bonuses, which are applied everytime you force jump, stun an enemy, attack from behind etc

theburner

Yeah, I was doing it 3rd time through so I decided I wanted to have a consular (I think that is the force power person) with almost every power. My character is pretty weak right now, but I figure I should be set later in the game. HOWEVER, the final fight is going to be a beotch w/ out good sword skills. I am going to have to take stims like a junkie.

Ha ha, I had no idea that I was supposed to blow up the trapped Jedi so he couldn't regenerate his health. I just fought him like 10 times instead. He regenerated his health to 100% at least 7 times! The only way I beat it was using the Battle Kits or whatever they were...they either completely restored my health or came close to it. I had about 30 of them and used every last one of them.

NO Doubt.. I did that my first time also. However I had the Force Heal, and since my force powers didn't work on him I had plenty to go around.

2nd time around (dark side) I had that same power he did to suck the Jedi's life, so I would just use the Jedi to recharge myself.

My buddy used his brain first time around (Light) and used throw lightsaber to bust the Jedi up.

I am worried though being just force sensitive.. I am having issues with weakness in my Lightsaber fighting, missing, not having enough power. I am just going to have to pop those Battle Stimulants, Knight Speed, and use the right combo of Crystals. But, I can light some Kilraith UP with my new found force powers!

yup i faced off against him so many times as well
used at least 30 of those medium rep kits
and i think i threw some nades at him every once in a while

apparently with light side consular its ridiculously easy
master valor, master speed, master armour i think it was combination is supposed to work well

I just got this KOTOR for the PC last week and man! I love this game. I think the story line so far is great. Heck I am enjoying the story in KOTOR as much as the movies...

I also like the fact that it is set 4000 years before the movie timeline so that there are no stupid cameos by characters from the movies...

KOTOR > teh bomb!

Wow, that was lame... anyway, yeah, it's a great game as the gang has mentioned. KOTOR 2 is coming soon... *swoon*

orphen

The game gets too easy later on though. my light side soldier/guardian wearing full exo-skelly, duel light sabers... i kill anything in my way within 2 hits. it's disgusting
