Board 8 > Playing KotOR for the first time.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I was complaining that I didn't want to play any of the games I own, when my roommate asks me if I wanted to play Knights of the Old Republic. I remember people talking about this game a lot when I was younger. I never played it, though, since I didn't have an Xbox or a PC.

So, going into this completely blind.

Indeed. Bastila da best.

And if you're going into it completely blind, don't get curious look up anything about it online and you're in for a treat later. :D

Amazing game, one of my all time favorites. One thing; don't look up anything related to this game. The big twist is everywhere.

I may laugh at my own jokes, but I don't dare laugh at SuperNiceDog!

It's an okay game

making a character

hello D20 system!

I didn't know what the differences were between classes, so after playing around for a bit, I decided that the rogue gets the most skill points and access of powerful and exclusive feats. So, regardless of what character I want to make, I should make a rogue. So I did, and dumped all the dex into str, because I wanna be a jedi man.

After a few tutorial fights, the game crashed. Ah well.

You know, I replayed KOTOR again a few months ago.

Uuugggghhh... damn thing keeps crashing every so often, I got paranoid and saved often.

Aww, I lost to SuperNiceDog, Winner of the Rivalry Rumble Guru Contest

oh yeah, the game does tend to crash a ton

btw, focus on either Flurry or the skill that hits really hard, not both of them, you're just gonna end up spamming one of them anyways

also get Knight Speed or whatever it's called immediately imo because I think its second level grants everyone an extra attack every round

also also forewarning: if you go dark side and try to use light side powers (and vice versa), the cost of activation will be higher

And go dark side because it has better powers.

I always got Flurry, Power Attack, and Critical Strike maxed out. It's not like you're low on points. And they seem to have their advantages for different situations.

Flurry's better for enemies with weak defense, power attack's better for tougher enemies, and critical strike.. meh, think I looked up some statistics once and it averages out to lower DPS unless some really specific conditions are met. If I'm playing serious I usually get power attack and stack it with the +attacks off Knight Speed, if I'm just screwing around I get Flurry because hitting like 5 times each attack is fun

You can always just give party members what you don't have and prioritize their attacks towards who they're best against! Better than wasting points maxing out every skill on every person imho. Not like it's an entirely meritless idea, but you could be picking up some other sexy skills instead and diversify!

I remember not having any difficulty getting all the skills I needed/wanted. The game is pretty easy and you don't really need to strategize either. I liked having all the attacks and mixing it up, more fun that way.

I always max out Flurry and Two-Weapon Fighting; in conjunction with Master Speed and two lightsabers, I get five attacks per round mmmmmmmmm

Watch and you'll see... SuperNiceDog own me... in the Guru!

well geez, now I can't even get the game to boot. Looking it up on the internet, it's because my computer is too new, and there's nothing that can be done about it.

I might try running it in wine tomorrow. It supposedly has a platinum rating.

I didn't care for it six years ago, but I might give it another shot one day.
