| I played quite a few rounds the same way the first guy did. I went through the game in its entirety as a good player, but he was weak 'cause I didn't understand the progression of my players. It took me 3 days to beat Malak (and that was without killing the Jedi because I was stupid and hadn't chosen throw lightsaber). When I went through again I was (sorta) smart. I made a good character and saved at Dantooine before choosing what Jedi class I wanted. I never touched that save again. I then did the same thing for a dark character. My starting attributes were kinda like this:
Strength and Dexterity were equally high (14),
Wisdom was my highest (16),
Charisma (13) but I wish I'd not given this as much as I did,
Constitution was actually low (11) becuase I wanted more points for the first three I listed. Figured if my wisdom was high I could knock everyone out before they reached me and with high dex and str no one would last long up close, and that has actually proven true. I've only been knocked out once and that was becuase I accidentally hit unpause before I gave orders when I fought Juhani and Jolee. They kept me swirling and that weak Bastilla couldn't knock them out.
Intelligence was very low (10) because I figured that's what my other characters were for (Mission and T3 are the best skill people in the game, and there was no reason for my character to compete with them).
I believe that all totals 30. That is how I like to basically start out. You can tweak things as you wish, but I find that intelligence, constitution, and charisma can be sacrificed a bit (force persuade can make charisma virtually useless).
When I get attributes I always concentrate them on wisdom, because I can boost dexterity and strength with gauntlets and robes.
As far as class choices, I like the soldier/consular combo. I love it so much I don't like trying anything else. I use the early feats of the soldier to master out critical strike and 2 weapon fighting. Getting the implants is a major bonus as well. After leveling up to about 6 soldier, I hoard up to Jedi and use the rest on consular. Gotta grab the force wave to be effective though. Knock 'em down and daze 'em, then butcher them!!!
What other class combos do you guys use?  |
