Well... I was experimenting with the idea of switching to the dark side in the middle of the game and I found that The "good" force powers like heal and etc. are rather useless for a dark jedi, therfore I concluded that I would be better off play a dark charcter right from the start and choose the appropriate force powers to go with it.

Don't get me wrong, if you play your cards right, you still can beat the game if you switch side half-way, but IMO it is less powerful than a jedi who remain light or dark all along from the start, unless you knew that you are going to switch side early in the game and choose the appropriate force powers to anticipate for the benefit of the opposite alignment once you switch over. But doing this will also means that your character is at a disadvantage in the begining because he/she is using force powers of the opposite alignment.

Anyway... how you play the game is up to your liking, but if I am going to play on the light side (for example), I would rather invest on force powers that are either neutral or beneficial to my alignment and vice versa. A dark jedi would better off using med packs than to "waste" force points on trying to heal himself/herself with force healing... just my 2 cents. ;)

I want Ewoks in Kotor 2...

Kotor 2: Happytimes on Endor


Would be cool if you could be a Dark Ewok Jedi, land on Naboo and get to destroy a Gungan Colony...

I wonder if I'm the only one as a kid who watched the original trilogy and wanted Chewwie to actually EAT Ewoks? [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

The fact that Storm Troopers get outsmarted by those uber-walking Koala's really frustrated me. :D

Having said that, KOTOR fascinates me and reading about it makes me more keen to play it.

Kotor 2 screen shots ... i must say .. looking good ;)

Yes you did, Harkoliar. ;)

Anyway, I am glad that they are still using the old engine. At least I don't have to spend a lot of money to upgrade my PC just to play KoTOR II.

Well... that girl in those screenshots is my light side jedi from KOTOR 1.

I tried taking screenshots, but I gave up because I couldn't figure out what's the button to push that automatically make screenshots in the game folder, without the GUI, and because I can't move the camera that far away from the characters.
