Wookie Question

CopperWater · Post by **CopperWater** » Tue Dec 30, 2003 6:03 pm

I am thinking of buying KOTOR and I was wondering if wookies can use lightsabers. I dont think so since no screens show them using one and it might set their hair on fire but I just wanted to check.

Well, in the Star Wars mythos, Wookies ~can~ use lightsabres... however, in KOTOR your Player Character is always human. There are three male and three female human models to choose from.

You can acquire a wookie NPC but he cannot use a lightsabre.

SOME wookies can use lightsabres and become Jedi, just like SOME humans can use lightsabres and become Jedi. It just happens that the wookiee you meet is not a Jedi.

There's one alien Jedi NPC that you can have join your party (not a wookiee) and two other human Jedi NPC that can join you.

As for setting a wookiee jedi's hair on fire... that's a good question, to which I cannot guess an answer.

You can have Zaalbar be a cross-class Jedi in the Xbox version, but it requires the use of some complicated glitches.

you have to be a human as your main character? Nevermind, i'll just get Jedi Acadamy instead.

I wouldn't suggest that, unless you are really bored and only doing it for the multiplayer.

Last I checked. Wookie wasn't a playable race in Jedi Academy...

I own JA and KOTOR for Xbox and have to say that KOTOR has almost infinite replayability. I would say the only game I could compare it to for overall quality and sheer enjoyment of every facet would be Halo:CE. I didn't even like RPG's until KOTOR (unless you count Deus Ex as one, but some don't), but the graphics, gameplay, attention to detail, and story line make this one of the best games of all time.

JA is a good FPS, but doesn't hold a candle to either of the previously mentioned games and is good for 3 or 4 run throughs before you get bored. It is a worthy sequel but I didn't find the Multiplayer exciting enough to cite that as a major reason to buy the game. If you want exciting Multiplayer, go Halo. The only thing that will beat that is Halo2.
