I agree that there is no point to being "grey". The "no FP penalty for opposite casting" excuse doesn't hold water with me. All you need to do is have a little CHA bonus and the "penalty" goes away. Then you're only left with the bonus side. A Jedi with LS Mastery throws Force Storm just as ...

Played both games through LS all the way and tried to do all of the sidequests and other little things. Went back to do DS all the way through both, and halfway through KOTOR1 as DS the game was just a monotonous blurr of killing everything the game would let me kill, and being and complete punk to ...

Just as effective. Simply more expensive (more FP to cast).

LS Mastery makes LS powers cost 50% and DS powers cost 150%.
DS Mastery makes DS powers cost 50% and LS powers cost 150%.

In both cases, a very high CHA modifier will reduce the penalty for casting "opposite". The EFFECT of each powers ...

Yes, a Jedi Master should use Force Storm. A Jedi Master should use every tool at his/her disposal. Even a LS Jedi Master can wield DS powers like Force Storm with little difficulty. As a Jedi Master, you'll have ample FP to throw around on stuff like this late in the game. With a huge pool of FP ...

Should be possible. Can't be done for Kreia or the droids. When I went through, NS was my last planet so I picked up Mira too late in the game to do much with her. But at that point I had everybody else (except Kreia and the droids) as LS Mastery and Jedi status. I know Mira can be a Jedi. So it is ...

Are you thinking you get +6 WIS for Consular/Master combo? Because you don't. At least I didn't. I went through the game as a LS Consular/Master and my LS Mastery bonus stayed +3 WIS both as a Consular and as a Master. My guess is that the Mastery bonus is determined by the current career class, not ...

Or you can try changing the default tactics for each of your party members so that they'll do what they're told. By default, everyone is "aggressive". That means they'll grab an appropriate weapon and rush off to use it on somebody whenever a fight starts.

You probably want to have them on a ...

In both cases it is for their peanut gallery comments. Carth and Bastila throw barbs at each other like an old married couple. Canderous and HK-47 consistently encourage me to greater acts of DS depravity and they're a great late-game support for a DS ...

It isn't exclusive to DS. My LS Jedi Master throws a mean Force Storm for only 35 FP. Not bad for avg 150pts damage and a DC that is almost unsavable. With just under 600 FP max and a good regen, he can throw Force Storm all ...

I don't care if you think Viridian is "basically green", it isn't. They look different enough to me. Equip a pair of single blades some time, one of each, and compare.

One possible ending of KOTOR1 is that Canderous is "dead". Maybe he doesn't remove his armour/helmet to suggest that he might have some nasty disfiguring permenant injury. Remember Malak's disfiguring crippling injury from KOTOR1? Of course it would have been cool to SEE that in KOTOR2 if true, but ...

Atton's "Pure Pazaak" was annoying. Kreia is just a backstabbing Sith Witch. Goto is a moron who deserves swift field justice from either DS or LS. But it isn't the characters that I hate. It is the STUPID plot advances! I really hate the moronic deus ex machina plot advances throughout the game ...

Buff with stims. Activate shields. Throw grenades. Lay mines right before the fight and then and lure him back into them by running away.

Its a good plan. Thats basically what I did with a Consular/Master. I'd Force Storm the hell out of the opposition and then mop up with Master Flurry Master Speed and a pair of sabers.

I've come to the conclusion that LS characters can be buffed harder than DS. LS gets Enlightenment for cheap buffs ...
