Ok i finished the game 14 times now and no matter wich side or character I take I never got further than level 27 as a sith marauder It's impossible for me to get all the lightsaber feats.. has anyone ever got level 28 of higher?

You really beat the game FOURTEEN times????

No offence meant, but: why? There arent't so many different ways to do it (LS, DS, male, female), are they?

Well I got up to lvl 29 on my first run through, there are some experience well bugs that mean you can get infinate exp from doing certain things over and over in certain areas.

The best known exploit to gain high levels is in the sith tomb on korriban, where you search the Jedi body and two Hssis appear, you can do that an infinite number of times to get easy experience. (especially when you have force storm and are dark side)

Another way is to put down a number of mines, go to another area, then go back and retrieve them. You'll get experience for every mine then, so it can quickly add up for 15 deadly mines a time.

The mines trick is better as
(a) you can have an NPC do it for you
(b) you can control the progression. Say "wow, only 600 xp for my next level up", well just perform the mines trick for a bit .
(c) you don't have to wait until mastery levels are at a certain point to do this and won't feel the need to suck up all the experience possible.
(d) Experience scales with level. Enemy xp rarely scales and at times, goes down.

And unlike KOTOR I it seems the higher your level.. the more damage the baddies do.. Personaly that sucks. ((Alot when your level 50 and a blaster dose 64 damage per hit))

Tit for ta . What is 64 damage when your character has over 700 vitality and can inflict over 300 damage with a critical hit (power attack + shien form).

I'd actually consider this a good thing. The game's painfully easy as is. It would be truly horrible, if a high level character was only taking minimal damage from NPCs.

unless you use a save game editor, max damage with critical is around 243.

Agreed. It got so bad in KotoR that I put it on autopilot after the first half: all except the final battle. That, to me, is a game without any challenge at all.

Well UU, don't know if it is just the PC version but I have seen a figure of over 300 pop up at times when using a double bladed saber with master power attack and shien form. PC had over 40 strength and was level 40 plus. *4 damage multiplier so I did see over 300 but most of the time it is between 250 and 300. Note that since double bladed does not have as great a critical threat range, I don't see it a lot but it is spectacular when it does occur. I actually lucked out and managed to pick up a barab ore ingot along the way plus all the meelee damage feats of the weaponmaster were already achieved.
