KOTOR question

[Sythe]

I have beaten the game before and am playing again but this time an evil bastard that is skilled in dual wielding. I was looking foward to getting evil force powers such as force lightning to decimate my foes! But the problem is that my guy has a dexterity of 16. And my AC is around 17 or 18 when I put on the Jedi Knight robes. I would get hit more often but if I put on Davik's armor I would have an AC of 23 or 24. But that would mean I'm unable to use some of the dark side force powers since they are armor restricted. What should I do?

P.S. I have the game for Xbox btw.

Since you're an evil guy using the force, like Force Lightning, it sounds like you're focusing on force rather than fighting. In that case, take the robes. However, if you want to be a combat-evil guy, which would be good with your dual-wielding, I would go for Davik's armour.

If you want to do both, then I'd say that's quite a pickle. Usually I have two Jedi's - me in combat and Bastilila using the force. Sure, I'd cast Heal every now and again but Bastila would cast the main force spells. Or sometimes I focus on the force and get a different Jedi to fight.

I think KotOR is one of the hardest games to choose characters for - especially since you can only have three. I always find myself wanting Bastila because of our 'connection' and Mission because of her thieving skills. This makes it hard to introduce new characters because it would mess up my system. That's why I find it slightly easier to play Scoundrels.

So, anyway, go for the Jedi Robe.

depends on your survival strategy...
is your wisdom/charisma high?
is your jedi archetype a consular?
then you might consider the robe and using the life leech skill to heal yourself when necessary.

If your cha/wis are low and your not a consular you might consider wearing the armor and using your jedi powers only to augment yourself before you rush into battle.

I am a jedi sentinel and my charisma is 12 and wisdom is 13. I am close to level 12 so I might put a point into wisdom.

those stats seem a little low to carry it off well. when i want to play a consular, i start with these stats:
char(15)
wis(15)
int(14)*


*int @ 14 for the extra skill points at each level up [img]smile.gif[/img]
i'll bump up the char & wis when the opportunity arises as she gets more levels.
