LS or DS what would you pick? - Page 3

Pretty good idea. It would be good if the two parties overlapped; for example, if you're a light side jedi you could be with your master, and have a story line involving a sith master and some unknown apprentice (who is unknown for most of the story, appearing at the end). Similarly, a sith character follows his master, and interweaves with a Jedi Master, and hear of a bright young jedi (or something). At one point, the character's master dies (Jedi defending the character if LS, the character murders the Sith master if DS), so they have to go solo. Also, the character can be enticed into changing sides.

I'd pick darkside, I find it more fun to play, the only downside I can see is the whole greyish pale deathly look you get when your completely evil which I didn't see anakin all paleish when he fell.

Yes, that's something a SW expert might be able to explain to me: in the Return of the Jedi, we see Vader and the Emperor, and they're both grey and distorted etc. So the games suggest that if you go DS, your apeparance changes. Then, in Revenge of the Sith, the Emperor goes like that because of the reflected force lightning, and Anakin is burned... consistency?

yeah, they were both distorted after what a jedi did to them, not because they were evil lol. Also I'm the kinda guy that likes to play as a female character for obvious reason so I don't really want to see a chick with pale chapped grey skin. sorry if this strayed from the topic.

But for the person above me that hasnt played KOTOR 2 on the dark side yet the ending cinematic won't be any better, they both sucked. The first KOTOR's cinematics were so much better.

I'd want a 'gray side' line as well, though it's similar to the light side in many ways, mainly because I naturally play as neutral, I dislike the way LS and DS are so clear cut and obvious, I also disagree with the play style of the dark side, I'd want to play a cunning Sith, not one that kills everyone in their path.

i tried playing nutruel but i found it difficult to choose your dialoge because you dont want to be a panzy little jedi push over but you dont want to be a insane corrupt killing machine sith

P.S i somehow turned out full dark so uhm i didnt do it write

it is so much more fun to go around killing everything- leveling is easier too when darkside/ i play both just to see how it turns out differently- i just started original kotor and im level 10 dark side most of the way and i have yet to leave taris, i completed every quest on taris all the bounties all the fights except i messed up 1 choice in the undercity village

all characters are alive

Of course the status could all change (except for the dead characters) during the course of the game.

to the DS allignment: apprenticeship to the Sith Lord seems too big to be thrown into right at the beginning. my suggestion (as i stated in another thread) is that you start as apprentice to the Sith Master of an enclave of a sith planet (a.k.a. you're Uthar's Yuthura on Korriban)

to LS allignment: all characters alive is a maybe. if you're going back to KotOR 1 as well, then Juhani (as much as i want her dead without the dark side points) is kind of iffy. it depends on whether or not you managed to persuade her. also ties into DS by how if you went Sith Lord or Savior in 1. If you went as Sith Lord, it obviously doesn't matter, since Juhani would be dead whether you redeemed her or not. As a Savior though, it's a bit circumstantial.

long explanations to the problem, but really only 1 problem for each. overall, you've got a good idea. it's actually what i was thinking (mostly) to be honest.

IMO starting off in different alignments would add some replay value to the game and be a very nice way to start off instead of being dumped in the middle of nowhere not knowing who you are, what you are doing here etc.

I would like to see the dark sides corrupting power a bit more. In the movies/books when people fall to the dark side, they act accordingly and they are difficult to turn them back to the light side. But in KoTOR you can easily switch from DS to LS (or the other way around) without any troubles. If you're an evil sith lord, you can still act like a saint to the person that cheated you for 2000 credits instead of cutting him down without a second thought. IMO being turned back to the light side should involve either a KoTOR 1 style denunciation of the dark side or a LS oriented party member (Bastila/Carth?) redeeming you in some special event.

i for one usually pick ls bc i get way to into the game and i feel all bad if i ruthlessly kill. i think ls had alot of power tho bc it takes alot of control for ur emotions and u can be powerful if ur in contruol of yourself. i guess im more grey just bc the jedi council usually bug me

who doesn't the council bug (especially Vrook. i have to thank Kreia for killing him the next time i see her corpse

)? anyways, yeah i'm kinda with you on that, seejai: i do feel bad when i kill someone for creds or for the saek of killing them, however only because usually the others get pissed at me for doing it. in turn, i could travel alone (usually), but then it seems too lonely

so hard to go darkside
