Of course, importantly, you can always go light side and have your NPCs take the dark side powers. Yes, I know it uses up more force but realistically, its only a tiny bit! I had jolee and juhani with wave and storm and my main character as a full-on light master!
And you still get to feel all good ...

OK having completed the game since my first post :) I can now conclude.
Skills are actually VERY good. And I know no-one else thinks so. But it means you can have a 3 jedi party for most of the game and still use your skills.
Cases in point.
1. There are droids in the game you can repair for over ...

Heh, I would think it depends. From a role-playing view I would have a solider-consular for dark side, and a scout-consular for light side. In terms of abilities, no difference. I suspect that a scout is in fact the best, but depends on your style of play - if you're gonna run round revelling in ...

Another suggestion is to try to disable him - stasis, concussion grenades etc. Or even just three thermal detonators under him :)
Seriously though, I had trouble occasionally with "boss" jedi even at medium levels because occasionally they go on crazy draining sprees and immense force use. Then ...

OK, well i can still take jedi rather than taking skills based characters that might be less useful.

Hehe, thought so. Still might go scout for kicks though, figure i can use skills to get xp and blow stuff up. And i suppose if i am skilled then my companions dont have to be, meaning i can take tanks.

Just want to know what you think, is it worth putting points in intelligence to get more skills as say, a scout? I have just received the game, so I'm wondering if skills are actually useful or if most of them are a waste of time (like so many other games). I dont really like playing as a "fighter ...

I found a fighter 4/druid x was good... If you want a ranger i suppose you can do the same thing... ranger 2 or 3/druid x. You dont need to go very high with ranger class becuase you wouldn';t need the ranger spells, just druid ones!

Sounds fairly good... in my party i took a Rogue 1/Wizard x because with the high intelligence you can cope with the traps and locks no problems. I think with the monk extras you are going to be struggling - you need str, dex, con, int and char so you're gonna have to compromise in terms of power ...
