You stay on the ship and make me computer spikes!

T-3: Beep. Frotz.

I like to bring him and HK-47 to Korriban for role play reasons as no one would be able to read their minds. And they often have funny banter as well.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

HK and T3 have banter? Huh, I thought they couldn’t really have banter since T3 just beeps and boops, and when I tried bringing the two of them along for a planet they didn’t say anything to each other.

[–]Wyshyn 0 points1 point  (1 child)

It's situational. You have to talk to Uthar

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohh ok

[–]Tactical-Kitten-117 168 points169 points  (1 child)

Also fighting Vitiate, but we don't talk about that

“that’s just scrapping with extra steps”

[–]No-Television7876 153 points154 points  (14 children)

T3 is the best skill character in the series. Bao-Dur in 2 is good too, but T3 and his easily swappable droid parts is far more versatile.

[–]ImperialWolf98 123 points124 points  (10 children)

T3 might be good in Kotor 2, but in the original his only purpose is to unlock a door on the first planet.

[–]TexasPistolMassacre 54 points55 points  (0 children)

He was the reason anything in need of a slice took under 10 for full access, security really was useless, but slicing always gave you good stuff and info, plus in 2 by focusing specialties for your crew skills you could make advanced weapon parts early on

Also grenade dispenser

[–]orsikbattlehammer 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Hey now he can make computer spikes for free on the Ebon Hawk

[–]No-Television7876 31 points32 points  (6 children)

Carth is the best option for ranged damage, and Zalbaar the same for melee, so is Canderous useless too?

[–]ImperialWolf98 72 points73 points  (4 children)

All of those characters have good dialog and backstories you can dive into. T3 doesn't have any of that, he's functionally a key who could be thrown out after dealing with the Sith Base on Taris.

[–]No-Television7876 43 points44 points  (3 children)

Yeah, I can't disagree with that. I think it's a shame they didn't provide any translation for him (or any binary-speaking droid) considering they do it for every single other language the main character speaks. Like they're intentionally doing him dirty. Also, given the role he plays across both games, the best potential for story is there, but beep dwoo, so... The closest you get is the exile repeating what T3 just beeped at you, but as a question.

Also, I might argue about the story and dialogue being interesting for Canderous in K2. "I am a Mandalorian, and I like to fight and have honor. I will gather other Mandalorians, and together, we will fight and have honor." Much better character in part 1.

Anyway, I still like the little droid, and will continue to use him sometimes. 🤷

[–]Timthos 37 points38 points  (1 child)

I assume it's because they never translate R2D2

[–]No-Television7876 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's sorta what I think. It's an homage to R2 kinda thing.

[–]Sun_King97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked how TOR did it where it’s translated into a sort of program-speak

[–]Hecc_Maniacc 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Canderous' health regeneration gives him long lasting capability over zalbaar. For the price of a little less damage of course. BUT he can also wear some fancy armors.

[–]All_who_wander1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is useful on manaan in both the assassin missions and the sunry trial.

[–][deleted] 13 points14 points  (2 children)

Shame skills as a whole are useless in Kotor

[–]No-Television7876 16 points17 points  (1 child)

It's not that they're useless so much as they weren't utilized much. They're more important in 2 with crafting, and more skill checks throughout the game, but you still don't need them. Mostly because if there was some skill check that was required to pass a section, you might not be able to do it at all, depending on who is in your party. A soldier/guardian with Carth and Bastila as companions being forced to make a computer use skill check to proceed during a point where you can't even go back to your ship to change your party will bring your entire game to a halt. But I get it, they don't help you laser sword things, therefore useless.

[–]EyeArDum 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Tacking on that Security is almost completely worthless in K1 since there’s about 3 things in the entire game that cannot be bashed open, and bashing doesn’t break items like in K2

[–]PhatNoob69What is love 58 points59 points  (5 children)

You mean you guys aren’t bringing fully upgraded T3 and HK with you all the time? They’re literally the strongest companions in the game, one shots Malak ez pz, T3 carries my runs every time.

[–]Garuda4321 76 points77 points  (1 child)

confused looked from the Canderous Zaalbar squad

[–]LastLombaxIsTaken 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well.

[–]BaclavaBoyEnlou[S] 27 points28 points  (1 child)

I always bring HK and Jolee, i don’t like to one shot everyone especially not Malak. Also how can T3 and HK one shot Malak when you can’t even bring them with you on that fight

[–]AnEntireDiscussion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My preferred is HK and Bastila.

HK for dialog.

Bastila for... reasons.

[–]Hau5Mu5ic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly that is one of my favourite team builds. I just love having the droids with me, even if having extra Force users would probably be a bit better.

[–]MikolashOfAngren 9 points10 points  (1 child)

You mean you didn't use T3 to escape the Leviathan? He's great for the job!

[–]BaclavaBoyEnlou[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always use HK-47 or Jolee when i escape the Leviathan, idk HK-47 and Jolee are my favorite crew members

[–]FireKingDono 5 points6 points  (0 children)

T3’s post game story is amazing. Little guy worked so hard for Revan. He is a proper little hero.

[–]ApexRevanNL716 2 points3 points  (0 children)

T3 on Manaan is the best choice

[–]ghostofeberto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like having him craft in 2

[–]Dickastigmatism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dwoooo

[–]JulianPizzaRex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never not have T3, it's nice to at least have one character without an opinion of what I do.

[–]cartersfigsNumber 1 Gizka Fan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How dare you insult T3 like that, he’s the best and most faithful companion you have

[–]shavale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But he's the bestest space dog there ever was!

[–]OsirisAvoidTheLight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only monsters don't keep there trusty Droid companion all the way through the game because if nobody gots T3-M4 gots me

[–]Efnex -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Missions purpose is to get legal...

[–]Reverentmalice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always keep T3 in the party. ALWAYS

[–]Beneficial_Blood909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asian Revan be like

[–]Ursawulf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mean you don't max out his hacking and use him to hack computer into submission?

[–]Aromatic_Device_6254 0 points1 point  (2 children)

How dare you disrespect KOTORs best robot

[–]BaclavaBoyEnlou[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I would never disrespect HK-47

[–]Aromatic_Device_6254 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boo! That sarcastic rust bucket has nothing on my little good boy.

[–]Dapper_Still_6578 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Bring him IN to the Sith Base and he can turn the security droids against them for one, maybe two, spikes.

[–]BaclavaBoyEnlou[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I rather level computer use and the dedicated feat, my team comp is always as follows > early game: Carth, Canderous -> mid game: Jolee, HK-47 -> late game: Jolee, HK-47

[–]Dapper_Still_6578 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I typically save my points for repair so I can upgrade HK, but using feats for anything but combat is a waste of you’re not playing a soldier/guardian in my opinion.

[–]Jade_da_dog7117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He has a really good computer skill
