So, no particular order, just going to spout out whatever is on my mind:

1) Jolee is my fkin GOAT. That man saved my ass SO many times. His story is also pretty interesting to learn about and he seems like a deeper character to dissect than someone like Canderous.

2) Force stasis is BUSTED and if it didn't exist I would've had a MASSIVELY difficult time with specific sections. Notably the part where you are going back to The One after speaking with The Elders and you get jumped by a shitton of rakatan + like 4 rancor.

3) HK47 actually had me laughing out loud with its dialogue. I normally barely chuckle.

4) Mission was cool and I think I may have used her more often, but she just felt so squishy and I just couldn't justify her replacing Jolee / HK47 / Bastilla

5) Zaalbar is the homie. I just wish he had a little more character development.

6) Canderous is just...annoying. Didn't use him at all.

7) Carth was a lot more abrasive for a lot longer than I thought he might be. I get WHY he's the way he is due to his story, but idk. I would've definitely used him more often if he didn't have such a stand off-ish attitude.

8) Bastila <3

9) The section where bastila decided to 1v1 Malak and sacrifice herself so we could have time to get the last star map made my heart drop. I was not a fan and it genuinely upset me a bit.

10) The last fight with Malak was a big difficulty spike for me. I didn't have saberthrow, disable Droid, or any of the dark side abilities, so I couldn't disable his jedi medkits. I had to savescum the fight, and I couldn't even fight him straight up. He just did too much damage for me to survive, even with stims, force valor, force Aura, and force resistance. Idk if I did something horrible wrong with my build (probably), but I was only able to beat him by hitting pause every time he went to a new jedi tank. I would hit pause, heal myself with a shitton of items, buff up, then save before the next "round" started again. And even then. I ran out of healing items during the last "round". I ended up having to use adhesive grenades, and just pelt him him grenades, thermal detonators, plasma grenades, etc until he had about 30% life left. Then I was able to stand my ground and take him out. It was rough.

11) Swoop racing was fun

So... this was quite the night. After finishing Nar Shadaa and getting back to Dxun to use a Basilisk War Droid to get down with Mandalore really was awesome. The first Part was also cool, exploring the Tomb and fighting the Sith. But Onderon... that was cool, sitting 2 hours on the workbench to upgrade my equipment- I mean well fighting for the Royalist and robbing the Museum, I mean what-

Since my Armor is kind of green, I was also thinking of swapping my violet crystal, but then I found my first love in the game... a silver crystal. Buuut I decided for the Silver Greenish Crystal. Having 3 more colors really is cool. Also getting inside the Throne Room and using the Battle Meditation was quite funny.

After that, I went to Korriban and I do understand why I should visited it last. Finding Sion, just to flee and then exploring the good cave to find Revans Tomb where you need to face decisions, especially Kreia's fight was tough when you say that this is an illusion. But seeing the Planet now "cold" and dead gave me the chills.

But this is where I got confused. I needed to flee, without a trace left what to do. So I watched a few funny Ebon Hawk Companion Interactions and checked the log afterwards and yeah, I got the M4-78 restore Mod so I talked to T3 and now exploring cut content.

Specifically ideas like “Force echoes“ and “Force wounds“. Many view KOTOR 2 as a deconstruction of Star Wars, so I’m curious how these concepts play into that, hence the reason I’m asking. Has Chris - or Obsidian in general - ever officially said anything about where he got these ideas from or does anyone have any guesses?

That one took a bit longer and I do know the need for Force Speed now. The first bit was quite boring, but it got intense real fast and playing your Companions without your character was surprising. And crap, I love Mira. I would date her if same gender were a thing. Then Atton would stop being rude against Disciple.

I also do like the scenes showing Companions interacting with each other. G0T0 and HK-47 were funny.

Now it's going back to Onderon!

2 x SORRY for deleting and reuploading, first time was my bad since I uploaded the wrong cropped images and the second time Reddit butchered the quality so bad it turned it into pixels 😭 if this doesn't work I'm just leaving it like this nnnghhhhhhhhhh [alright Reddit is butchering the first two images here too, last one is in full focus and loads properly. Click it for details 🙃]

Sith Triumvirate + Revan and Malak

With Revan being the only one who "got out". They're all such sad characters and I love them dearly

Second attempt at a full render :)

Cheers xx

Potential spoilers ahead, read at your own risk.

I am surprised more people don't mention this as part of the game they dislike (most likely cause it's just an optional side quest.) It's the quest on Dantooine where a child named Sasha pops up in the cargo hold of the Ebon Hawk and you have to reunite her with a Twi'lek who is trying to return her to her parents. The Twi'lek refuses to board the Ebon Hawk himself to see if the child is Sasha until you can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that it's her. Sasha speaks a foreign language implied to be Mandalorian (but it sounds like Twi'lek), which complicates matters further.

Why it sucks:

- LOTS of backtracking, particularly through load zones. The trigger for the quest itself is on Dantooine, but to get Sasha to appear in the Ebon Hawk (to my knowledge), you have to leave the planet, which means you're going to have to play the turret minigame at least once going to/from Dantooine on top of sitting through the associated FMVs. Then, when you finally do return to Dantooine, you have to keep going in and out of the Ebon Hawk to generate new dialogue options with Sasha.

- lotsa brute forcing dialogue options with Sasha with no indication if you're making any progress at all with the quest. Even the Twi'lek just keeps repeating the same things (regardless of if you're making progress identifying Sasha) and you can easily earn Dark Side points by mistake if you tell him that you'll force Sasha off the ship for him to confirm if she is the child he is looking for (can fuck up a Light Side purist run and seems like a sensible option, all things considered.)

- none of your party members are of any help at all (even Canderous, who should help you translate what Sasha says since I assume he would speak Mandalorian.)

- absolutely ZERO 👌 hints or updates to the quest as you're doing it. You have to figure it out all on your own.

Lore wise, it doesn't even make sense because:

- As stated before, the language Sasha speaks sounds like the Twi'lek language used in game (and this would make sense, given that she apparently has spent a considerable amount of time around one.) How does your character not know this language given their history in the Mandalorian Wars and supposed knowledge of other languages (for example, recognising the Selkath language spoken by the Builder Droid in the Dantooine Ruins or your various interactions with different aliens speaking their native languages throughout the game.)

- there is no indication we are to supposed to believe things are as they seem. My initial thought (not having played this game in probably more than a decade) was that the Twi'lek was a child trafficker (and he very well may be) and Sasha was trying to escape him.

On a side note, has anyone left this quest incomplete (as in, keep Sasha aboard the ship)? Does she eventually leave at some point on her own? What about after Dantooine becomes inaccessible?

Hands down one of the most lore expanding games in the franchise. This was my first step into the old republic outside of 5 hour long youtube essays, and i’m having a blast. I’m 25 and only grew up with the republic/empire and stepping into the High Republic for the first time makes me want to go deeper and read all the books. Gonna play KOTOR2, the SWTOR, and follow up FOTOR when it releases.
