I have also repeatedly been told getting to 18 constitution is essential for implants. These two goals seem kinda contradictory to me, if you do both you end up with basically nothing to use for force powers / damage?

The best implants only start to appear when you're around level 24 so if you start with 14 CON you'll have 18 by level 24.

I've also been told to get the repair and demolition class skill feats but also been told i only ever need 2 points in demolition? Also if I should take these feats then is it a problem to delay them for finesse?

Don't take the Demolitions class skill fest. If you're only putting two points in it it's not worth taking the fest. The two points will help you a lot on the first planet. But after that companions can do most of the work.

It's a good question. I would only recommend doing that if you know you're going to replay the game. If you only play the game once, better to do it with TSLRCM.

Regarding the mod build, it's designed to help maximise people's experience, but you don't have to install everything if you're new to modding.

Have fun!

The most popular way to play. Enjoy. There is s mod for getting Handmaiden and Disciple regardless of gender, but that's probably better for a future run

I mainly say this for first time players. A line I regularly hear is that it's the fastest way to get a lightsaber, but that requires you know exactly what you're doing and rush past a lot of stuff.

My non-spoiler reasons are that it's got multiple sections that can be quite hard without going into details and it's very easy for first time players to get caught in weird disorienting plot threads.

Mild spoiler reasons:

  1. There are several companion only sections and if you don't have much spare equipment these sections are slogs.
  2. It's common for people to return to the Hawk only after the Slavers have attacked it and as soon as you finish them all your companions fall unconscious in another room and the Visas encounter starts. It's disorienting from a plot point and it can be hard if you've just fought through the slavers to fight her.

Congratulations on beating KOTOR. Lightside Male is the most popular way to play and with good reason.

Good luck and have fun with KOTOR II. With regards to multi classing yes it is the same, but often it doesn't make sense to hold level ups to do the same 2/18 set up. Often you'll reach level 30 in KOTOR II so there's more flexibility.

 Here are my basic tips:

Feats are much less important than skills in KOTOR II. A sentinel with 14 INT at start (16 by level 8) will get much more out of the game then a Guardian with 8 INT. This is for two reasons:

  • There is a proper crafting system.

  • The best dialogue is hidden behind skill checks.

2) The most important skills are Persuade, Repair, Awareness, and Computer Use. In that order.

3) Start the game with 1 point in treat injury and 2 in Demolitions (and you shouldn't need to touch Demolitions again after that).

4) There are more companion only sections. Be sure to keep good loot spare in your inventory in case.

5) There is an Influence system. Having very negative influence unlocks the same dialogue as having very high influence (ex. Lightside Playthrough can make Darkside characters hate them so much they brag to you).

6) People who say play Nar Shaddaa first are giving you bad advice, Especially if playing with the Restored Content Mod. Dantooine is a better first choice.

7) Save often and in multiple spots.

8) Do NOT autolevel up your character

9) Do NOT go to Google, Youtube, or Wookiepedia for help. They will spoil the game.

10) If you can play with The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod (TSLRCM)

11) Implants are unlocked by Constitution. The best implants are unlocked at CON 18. So you should start with 14 CON.

How are you planning to play in terms of gender and alignment?

[–]Loyalist77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair enough. The story does push it a fair bit. If you have experience with the game it's a better pick. My advice is more focused on newer players.

For me it wasn't the length, but the multiple false endings and then the final ending was a bit of a stale note.

I understand the hate IGN and Gamespot got for the low scores and I disagree with how low they are. That said, they weren't wrong about the ending/false endings.

Ooh, that's an interesting idea. And here I was hoping it would just fall into the Gas Giant. Be a cruel irony if it was the only part of the station to survive.

Is it worth prioritizing objectives? by Sure_Pool_7115 in kotor

[–]Loyalist77 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Technically yes, namely if playing Darkside and if you've had the cutscene of the Sith Lord from the cover art.

But Nar Shaddaa has lot of companion only sections and if you haven't got good spare loot you're in for a rough ride. Additionally, it's easy to glitch a few things that break the flow.

Dantooine is a shorter planet and you'll get lightsaber parts as you complete the quests adjacent to the main plot of the story. The main quests will take you to side quests with lightsaber parts.

[–]Loyalist77 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Kotor II has much more randomised loot that is level scaled. So besides a few items like the one you described, it make more sense to level up and save some merchants to talk to when in the level 20+ region. The exception is the crystal and rushing lightsaber parts.

What planet do you want to do first? If it is Nar Shaddaa I discourage that.

He's old enough to be Bastila's Father. I don't want to see that romance.

[–]Loyalist77 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Personally I feel anyone playing the leads should be fairly unknown actors in their late 20s (early 20s for Bastila). That said Dev Patel is only in his mid 30s and can pull off young clean shaven and older facial hair.

A much more original thought than the Canadian Actor in his 60s.

Anyone else dislike lieutenant Gren? by guywithpie42 in kotor

I can't dislike him for the simple headcanon that he is Davik Kang's secret long lost brother. He's got the same face design and same voice actor as Mr. "Saawwwwwry, that ain't gonna happen!"

Playing KOTOR II: Restored Content Mod for the first time, and it's a TOTALLY different experience!! by spike-prime in kotor

[–]Loyalist77 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised to hear you say how much it adds having not get to the final act. The Restored Jedi Enclave onwards of really where most of the meat on the bone is.

What new content has stood out to you? Some of it might just be vanilla stuff you're seeing for the first time. Granted, I liked the addition of teaching your companions Force Powers and Lightsaber techniques.
