Yeah, KOTOR is one of the best RPGs I’ve played as well. It’s up there with Skyrim and Dragon Age for me but it’s been a while since I played too.
It sounds like you might’ve played as a dark Consular with a Scout starting class for the extra Force Points and regen. That’s a fun one. Dark Side powers are a lot of fun. I’m playing as a Scoundrel Consular for the Sneak Attack bonus damage from Dark Side Powers and the extra defense and evasiveness. Can’t wait to try Plague and Death Field and Force Storm. Last time I played, I went the Light-Side Jedi Guardian route which was an unstoppable melee tank with Force Push and some more defensive perks.
I remember there being some late-game head gear that was for Light Side only and did decent Wisdom buff, while the Dark Side equivalent which might’ve been head gear too was rather lackluster in comparison. I guess they don’t want us having too much fun playing the Dark Side.
Can’t wait to play KOTOR twice and then check out KOTOR 2 which I’m fresh to since I’ve never played but I’m highly looking forward to.
I played KOTOR 2, and I think it could've been better, but was a good game none the less. I liked the way force powers worked more than the 1st, but I think it only matched the first in ways thst it could've surpassec so maybe I just had my hopes too high. Definitely worth the play, though.
