This really isn't a matter for a poll, as I see it, because each has its advantages in different situations. But it's up to you.

With Master Two Weapon Fighting, where the penalties are all but eliminated, you have twice as many crystal slots, which means more damage

But if you really want my opinion, I would use neither - I much prefer weilding a single saber, but thats more role-playing (can't stand power-gaming approach)

I said two different ones.

But, I always use a single lightsaber. Seems more Jedi to me, and the AC bonus is much better than an extra attack.

I personally like a double bladed light saber. it's mostly for roleplaying, though. If you are on the dark path, you can pull a Darth Maul. If you are on the light path, you can be a new type of Jedi nobody has ever seen. Plus, i get immense joy out of totally obliterating my enemies.

I personally enjoy the 2 sabers over a double bladed. However I'd rather play a single sabe approach as a jedi. As a sith the double seems to act alittle better depending on what prestige class you go with.

I allways go with 2 different sabers (probably because in clasic D&D I allways play dual wield ranger) but I agree that having only one saber seems more like a Jedi should be.

Double-bladed lightsabers are also known as Sith sabers (acording to Star Wars Encyclopedia) so they feel right for DS Character.

it really depends if you have somes feats that include two-handed weapons or single weapon like jolee. So the thing is you just choose the good feat... the right crystals and a nice color. And it's perfect

Never really used lightsabers in KOTOR1. I preferred melee weapons (or physical damage weapons) over them. Melee weapons had better upgrades (and there are less shields around that counter physical damage).

I played a Scout/Jedi Consular with a single lightsaber with the Dueling line. In the end I used the Mantle of the Force, a Solari, and a Sigil or Upari. That worked the best for my style.

For my persona, I prefer one saber... but I do like some of my companions to use double-bladed or two sabers.

Isn't the only actual difference between having a double blade and two single blades is the upgrade slots on the light sabers? As such, I'd think that for pure damage potential, the two blade approach would be more effective as it allows you to utilize more crystals.

Alternatively, I suppose the double blade acts as a balanced weapon, whereas you'd have to use a long and short blade to get the same effect if you were wielding two blades. Ultimately, none of it matters too much, as maximizing damage potential isn't really needed in KoTOR, when you inevitably become quite unstoppable regardless of what abilities you have.
