Most Useless NPC?

[DarthMalevolent]

I don't really mean useless, but the ones you never or almost never take with you.

Personally, I never take Mandalore with me unless there's a quest I need him to complete (like recruiting Mandalorians) GO-TO, HK-47 and T3-M3 all stay on board the Ebon Hawk.

A fairly redundant poll I suspect, I can't see many (if any) people voting for anyone other than GoTo. It could be interesting just to see if anyone does vote for someone else, or if it's totally one sided.

Personally I'd vote for GoTo as being the most useless and pointless NPC ever created in any game since CRPGs began. Your missing out by not using HK47 and T3-M3 IMO though, I guess you must be a Robotist.

That's sort of what I want to see. I'm betting it's going to be led overwhelmingly by GO-TO, but I'm wondering if anybody uses him.

I've used HK-47 and T3-M3 in the past, but I've never really found anything that they could do significantly better than other characters that are better in combat.

G0-T0 is actually quite interesting if you actually use him, and he's extremely well written once you get enough influence with him to get his backstory.

I voted Disciple, since he's bland and boring.

Interestingly, so far only 57% of the vote goes to GO-TO.

I hate GO-TO's personality and I hate using him to begin with. Most pointless and most annoying character ever created....oh and Kreia tops the list too.

[DesR85]

GO-TO. Never liked that guy in the first place.

He's still the clear leader though.

I don't like Disciple either, but if you're playing a female he's the only romantic alternative to slimeball, so he does serve some purpose!

Are you kidding me?! No self-respecting female would take that wishy-washy sissy over a "bad boy", particularly one who was a combat vet.

I don't know what problem people have with GO-TO.
He is far more useful in combat than T3 and only insignificant worse with skills. Also, his "fly through grenades" ability is the reason I occasionally took him for the Freedon Nadd mission. And he has more personality than T3 who is a straight R2D2 copy.
I voted Disciple.

To be honest, I'd say ANY ranged weapon NPC is useless. Ranged weapons, even with upgrades, are way inferior to melee weapons or Force powers IMHO. This applies to all the droids. Another problem with droids is that their armour is usally nowhere near as good as human armour, particularly because it can't be upgraded.

For these reasons ALL the droids seem pretty useless to me. I swap them into my parties only briefly in order to gain an influence point from them, then swap them out again. Since T3 and HK give VERY nice rewards for getting 90 influence, they do have some purpose.

Heh... Since I've NEVER played either of the KotOR-games as a darksider, then Hanharr obviously is the one I've used the least, since I've never had him in my team. at least GO-TO gets of the Hawk for the occasional level up.

i never take droids and always have kreia in my party for the exp bonus(shes very annoying however) and i only ever use atton(jedi), handmaiden(jedi), visas(if no one else is a jedi or if i dont have hanharr to bash my enemies). i sometimes use bao dur(so i dont need skills myself), but rather not in combat. HK can be fun, but only if youre darkside(he always says stuff like "good idea, master" when you suggest killing someone). i never take disciple because hes weak and boring, same goes for mira, who is absolutely useless.

[eskilla]

I never use T3-M4. Well, I do when I have to, like in Vogga's warehouse, but apart from that he stays on the ship. There really aren't enough skills for me to need him - between Atton, Kreia, myself, Bao-dur and Mira, I've got everything covered for computers, worktables, lab stations, disabling mines etc. Plus, all my organic allies can use medpacks and be affected by force heal, so I don't have to blow money on repair kits.

That basically goes for all my droid allies - I only use them when I have to or when there's an influence point (I like to have high influence with everybody). If they make a KotOR 3, they need to make droids special in some way, like with droid-specific abilities or something.

to me, G0-T0s only good when you go to the Dxun sith tomb when he can sneak over the mines and disable the sensor thingy
