Hmm, your guy does look cool. But I don't think n00b is the word to describe lightside. I like lightside more than darkside. Darkside is just to easy, to many shortcuts where as lightside you need to do things the long way and you will have less money so it is harder.

For KOTOR II, I found Dark Side was a little harder than the Light, but was fairly the same as Light.

I enjoyed playing on both sides of the Force, but if I were to choose the better/the more fun. I would have to say the Darkside.

DS was a quick and some times easy way, I found Dantooine extremely hard playing DS my first time through, it was my first planet, Laigreks and Vrook were almost impossible. DS is harder at first, because all of the good force powers, death field and force storm, dont come till later on, where as light side has powers that are well balanced and useful through out, I found it easier to play through as LS, and had an equall amount of fun playing both, if you want us to see how 'pwnage' your char. is show us your stats not a picture of you on nar shadaa.

Yes, Master Vrook was soo hard to take down!

And like you, I had also travelled to Dantooine first thinking I could get my saber. I wasn't able to fight him the first time. But I've found, if you're having trouble it's good to not travel to Dantoonine until you proceed further in your training and become either a Sith Assasin, Marauder or Sith Lord. Then it's a piece of cake.

master vrook was hard.. but i found a solution.. run around till u loose him and hide in the corner place like 20 mines everyware once ur ready attract his attention and get him to run into the mines

they will all explode at once automatically killing him :laugh:

I've heard this theory too.

The run, hide and plant mines method. I must vouch that it does work it you are in need, but you have to be very fast and have enough mines planted to take Vrook down first run. Or else he will heal and it would be a waste of effort.

This method is also very slow and I found it wasn't a very good approach.

LS is n00b

Harder than DS. In fact, while playing the DS, I got royally bored. The only reason I played it through was to see any plot happenings that I may have missed before.

DS is only more powerful, if you play the game right. LS can use the powers too if they can handle the penalties dropped on them by using opposite alignment force powers. There is not a lot that the DS can use that the LS can't.

Heck, my character ended up weaker then it normally does whenever I play DS. DS was not as much fun as many had told me before...

It is not like LS has instant access to their strong powers either. All you need for DS is Force Storm and you can power play the rest of the game. Force wave is effective, but not as powerful, and most other LS powers work to power up your character instead of performing varying amounts of damage or inflicting fear on opponents, like the DS do.

I found playing Blade Master was über powerful when you used force enlihghtment, but this is only in late game, but the stun and stun droid powers are realy good especialy when you upgrade them to their second and third stage, and healing allways comes in handy

Lightside makes it easier to get through plots I've found, such as the whole Influence thing.

Darkside I found is good if you want to get through the game with brute force.

wonder whose more fanatic, a jedi or a sith?

jack111 · Post by **jack111** » Sat Dec 31, 2005 10:24 pm

sith will pwn a jedi... they have cooler powers

The Reaper · Post by **The Reaper** » Sun Jan 01, 2006 5:53 am

But do not forget Jedi have powers to counter most of the Sith powers...

Don't you think you could let Jack get away with that post Xandax? I mean, he did kind of explained why the Dark side is funner than the Light...

Dark side does it better

Knowing the Mods' dislike of starting threads with similar subjects to old ones, I'll hijack this dormant thread to ask a related question:

How well balanced do you reackon KOTOR2 is? IN KOTOR1, DS gave definite benefits, in that you got a lot more XP and a lot more items, as well as some quests.

In KOTOR, do you reckon you would get more XP points if you played purely DS (ie doing as much as possible while never getting a single LS point for any reason) or purely LS. Or is it balanced? Has anyone here ever tried it out?

Hi

Erm... not to be rude but why is everyone posting here? Isn't there a related thread in the KOTOR 3 forums?
