Malak

As I remember you can easily win every fight in Kotor 1-2 with just spamming force wave(jedi) or lightning storm(sith).

And from my experience, force wave only throw him away and hurt him very little. Toward the end, it even has no effect on him. But I agree with Fear (?) that lightning ...

Malak

I once ended the game with a constitution based Scout/Consular build. It was fairly anticlimatic -- I ended up killing him with endless force waves, and eventually he keeled over after I smacked him around with it enough.

That's surprising. Force wave can kill Malak. What else?

Tough fight. As a scoundrel/consular I don't have any spell that could really hurt him. Force wave throws him away, stasis has no effect. And unfortunately, my character doesn't have a strong melee. But at the end, I defeated him by throwing 3 cryoban grenades + 7-10 thermal detonators. The game is ...

Bastila rarely heal herself

I let her alone to do the fighting and at the end of the fight, she clutched her side and bent down. I wait and wait but she stayed the same. It's miserable!

In my game Bastila ,rarely if at all, uses cure to heal herself despite the many posts make you believe that she indeed uses cure. Maybe I did something not right?

Marl

One thing to consider is that dual wielding is going to reduce your chance to hit rather dramatically if you have the wrong feats

The problem is as a scoundrel or scout you need to select your feats carefully. Since the majority of guides encourage dual wield, most players just follow ...

turets fight

There are only 6 fighters. At the beginning, try to hit 1-3 fighters then shoot down the rest one by one, listening to the attack sound. I found it pretty fun because it does cause your heart beat a little faster.

Marl is too fast. I tried grenade and run but it did not work. My scoundrel has 2 blaster pistols which take a long time to hurt him. Any suggestion?

a bug?

Well. It is not HOW I CASTED a spell. Since When I just clicked a spell ( ex: bull strength ), my character ran immediately to his companion and casted the spell.

It's not that I just played the game yesterday. I played both OC and MotB several times.
Your counter question means that you ...

It always happens after I ask my companions to "stand your ground". My spellcaster always casts spells on his companions no matter my intention is to cast on himself.

I hope that it isn't a bug because it is annoying and make me stay away from playing cleric/wizard.

West Harbor reaver

Please be serious.

It can't be killed! No matter what I tried, including cheats . Is it the kind of "hit or miss" bug?

Rdd

and my non-level adjusted characters were at level 20 by mid Act 3.

I only got to level 16. But it is probably depends on how you play the game*. anycase, it's besides the point. The sooner you get the benefits of the 10th level of RDD, the better your character is.


* quoted from Nigel ...

Rdd

In OC, you usually get to level 17 before the final so you should plan to get RDD ASAP. Say, 4 fighter + 1 bard + 10 RDD then the rest put into fighter. Another thing to consider is RDD does not require that you can cast arcane spell so you can just start with charisma=8.

The sooner you ...

weapon upgrade

Do I/ Qara need weapon craft skill levels or just caster levels?

the guide(s) is not clear about the process of distilling a monster remain into faint essence. such as what monster remain for faint power essence, fire essence etc. ?

value of appraisal

Starting from mid ACT 2, we'll have more gold than we need.

game's impressions

MoTB was much better story-wise, and therefore a much greater game. It fixed many things present in vanilla, and was very enjoyable.

Well, yes. I referred to MotB actually. In both NWN and NWN 2, the expansions are better ( HotU and MotB ).

BTW, I measure a game by what I ...

This is one of the games that I like to give my impression. This game is similar to HotU in that both are built for multiclass and although MotB is turn based game, it can be played most of the time the same as HotU, I mean you don't have to stop and prepare for gameplay. The graphics and story ...

I'm not sure about appraisal but when I want to upgrade weapon, Safya is the only person who can do it since she has high weapon craft. But Mr_Sir is probably still correct since the gold appears the same in any member of the team.
