OK.... here's a challange. I'm on vacation this week & plan on my 20th round through the game. I'm going solo through it except the parts where you need to split parties. Anyone else want to try? I'm saying pick NO ONE for the party. I'll post my opinions of this type of style later this week (If I have my way I'll be able to play the whole game by Tuesday, but I'm sure the wife has other plans for me

Now that's kind of tough. Going solo against the masses of enemies. By the way, are there any tips and strategies on how to survive while going solo?

:laugh: Lol no kidding I was playing through it for my 2nd time but I got to Dantooine and got bored.Why don't you join team gizka
(you are probably skilled with computers) and your expertise on KotOR 2 should be given (I think you have played it the most outta everybody) and you probably know all the possible thing's you can do.

Its not all that hard to go solo except certain select battles. For instance, the one hallway with a load of deadly laigreks in the enclave sublevel on Dantooine was really hard when I tried to solo it. I think if you go light side guardian it wouldnt be all that hard cause you can just kick everyone's ass, heal, repeat.

Thanks for the support. And no, I am not the one who has played the most. My 20th time, but actually there are others here that I believe have more games then I. Besides, the wife keeps interupting with this stupid list in her hand & all the stuff on it cannot be done with force powers
(This is not the mower you are looking for... we can move along
Strategy for solo???? I am gearing up for 2 weapon fighting & mass force powers like lighting & push. I want to hit a bunch of people instead of just 1. Grenades will also come in I'm sure, so I'm gonna load up on them too. Pumping up on strength & constitution instead of intelligence & chasrima.
Anyone got any other ideas? I'm also thinking about a dual blade saber, but that's just a brain activity & not the plan (I truely LOVE 2 long sabers.... looks awesome!). Also, what planet should I get first? I'm thinking Dantoone, Naa Shadar, Dux, Korriban, ???

Sorry I can't contribute much since I don't take these types of challenges but I hope I can be of some help here. Try getting as many medpacks (regular and large) and stims as you can. Don't know if antidotes are useful but include that just in case. Also get the sturdy power shields like the Verpine prototype shield as an example.
Well, dual lightsabers, to me, are kind of cool but also effective especially at crowd control. Highly recommend maxing out the dual weapons feat. Also use some stances that will be effective against either crowds or force adepts. Another thing, I remember that you will be facing a lot of droids in the game so pack some crystals that are effective against droids. Also equip yourself with mind-affecting equipment so that no Sith will be able to unleash his/her mind-affecting attacks on you.
As for planets, I highly recommend going to either Dxun or Nar Shadaa first since they're easier to deal with. Going to Dantooine as the first planet will be kind of hard as what many game guides have mentioned. Korriban, I'll leave it to last, in my opinion.
I'm out of ideas for now but I'll re-edit my post should I get newer ideas.
UPDATE: Added some ideas as to how to survive in the game.

i highly suggest stun moves + force wave. its pretty hard to get killed wen your opponents are 10 feet away and cant move.

Quick update:
Half way through Telos & the darn game will not let me solo. Got to keep Atton & Keria (for now). Just about cleared the Harbringer. I put Atton & Keria in ranged mode so I can kind of stay solo. Can't wait to get to Peragus, that should be fun.
Yes Des, I save Korraban for last as well. No matter how you play the game it is in my opinion the toughest planet. I'm also grabbing all the meds I can, but will focus on force heal. Moving with lighting & will get the push as well.

Well, it seems the lords of time are against me. With the recent 100+ weather here in New England I figured it would be a great time to get some game play in. BUT......
wife's van got a charging gremlin in it that I still cannot figure out completely, daughters b-day is sunday & wife decides yesterday that I am cooking a ton of stuff, wife picked up a new dog last night & I still cannot get him to pee, Mom decided yesterday that today would be a good time to start a big yard project.
So here I sit at Telos. Finally was able to ditch Atton & Keria, but got beat pretty bad by the thugs outside the bar. Got past it though with a lot of force lightning. I'll continue, but don't know when
Maybe next time I go on vacation I won't tell anyone

Down on Telos surface now. Got through Telos solo with not much problems. Going ranged with a really cool rifle. Good thing I know where the enemy is so I can save before the encounter. Have to keep Bau with me, but I just go solo & drag him up when I need a forcefield smashed. Merc camp was a breeze, just went stealth & draw them out 1 at a time. This worked well with the bounty hunters at the shield too. Went stealth, sneak in & zap one with lighting, run back & restore. Funny, the enemy does not regain life when you are not fighting. Never noticed that before. Big tank droid was easy too. Lobbed a ton of ion grenades at him & he went down. Next up is the polar academy which is a solo thing anyway, so should not be an issue.
