Palpatine_dc Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Handmaiden Why, because of all the points mentioned above. And you can learn battle precognition from her. (adds wisdom modifier to defense). I think it is one of the most usefull feats in the game, yet it can only be gained as male. I don't see any advantage from disciple, only an extra mouth to feed on your ship. And yes I find her way hotter than disciple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smilodon Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 I find that the Disciple is not a very thrilling character, he's more like an ancient teller of fairy-tales, if you get my point ^_- [x] Handmaiden Since she is more useful in combat and her character has a deeper background.

Not as near as annoying as Carth even tho i didn't think Carth was that bad, and as a DS female your face goes evil as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master_Vrook Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 I found Handmaiden easier to gain influence with and made a very good Jedi Guardian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soogz Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I like the Handmaiden better, because I just thought she had a better role than Di in the game even thought they basically have the same abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Aleera Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 The Handmaiden is more useful than the Disciple. Combining Soldier with Jedi Consular is an unwise class chose, because Disciple wisdom is simply too low, and the result is that the character is weak, as a Jedi Consular, for example compared to Kreia. In the same way, the Handmaiden is well balanced as a Soldier/Guardian, and is possible to have her in the party even if you are not using a male playing character (using the Handmaiden mod created by stoffe-mkb). Also, the Disciple has that good boy attitude that I never liked in a character (like Carth in Kotor I, but Carth is a pivotal character, and well suited for his class, Disciple is not, especially as a Jedi). So I voted the Handmaiden, even if I'm a girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallucination Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Handmaiden 'cuz shes so handy . And I really hate Disciples line (first time he said 'You have left me an opening' I thought he said "your a lefty and ugly" and I was like WTF????)

General Kenobi Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Well I'd pick Mical for the "I won't run back to my former master with a prize" kinda attitude HandMaiden seems to have. In a game for real playthrough value though I'd pick handmaiden every time. She's just a better character in my book. Plus she can teach you how to not get your arse kicked in unarmed combat General Kenobi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noghri_assasin Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I so go with HandMaiden! Disciple is so annoying! His lines and everything, he's just really dumb anyway. he has in no way enogh wisdom to be a Counseler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mira Dona Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 The handamiden has a name too you know, Brianna! Yeah about that, whats the deal there? Why are they called Deciple/HandMaiden and not their real names? Anyway, I always play through with female characters (lets face it, the male profile choices aren't that good for 1 or 2) so I have only had Deciple in my party. While he can be nice to have along since he praises your every good deed (and for me was the first jedi I could train), his character was totally lacking and rather boring. I'm unsure how HandMaiden will be as far as her story goes, but really ANYTHING would be an improvement over Deciple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 The explanation behind Handmaiden's lost name is because she swore to serve Atris and therefore became nameless, only referred too as the last of the Handmaiden. I can't find the logic behind not calling the Disciple simply Mical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOssusKeeper Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 i would have to say Handmaiden (Brianna)... it seems Kriea manipulates Disciple (Mical) more then the handmaiden, i wonder why... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoffe Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 i would have to say Handmaiden (Brianna)... it seems Kriea manipulates Disciple (Mical) more then the handmaiden, i wonder why... Probably because... ...he's starting to catch on to what is going on, and as such could gain insight into Kreia's plans. There's no need to manipulate the Handmaiden since she pretty much just blindly follow you without a clue as to what is really going on. Other than that the two are fairly similar personality-wise. Both are totally humorless, serious and a bit naive. Both follow the Exile because of the emotional attachment they've formed to her (though more strongly in the case of the Disciple, since you have a past history even if he won't admit it at first). IMHO, the Handmaiden is slightly less annoying than the Disciple though. Not exactly sure what it is about the Disciple that bothers me, but there is something...

TheOssusKeeper Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 i don't know, but i think disciple kinda' reminds me of bastila in a way, all serious and stodgy... i can see some traits that they are similar to each other i guess... but i don't really like disciple either...

IMHO, the Handmaiden is slightly less annoying than the Disciple though. Not exactly sure what it is about the Disciple that bothers me, but there is something... I think that was the only really redeamable element of his character, finding out about that history (though brief in coming). It added a nice element to give more insight about who the Exile was before the start of the game. Of course Handmaiden does the same thing. . . but with a more detattched way of going about it. Having finally played with both characters thanks to a certain mod. . . I found the stuff Handmaiden adds to the over all story far more gratifying. As for why Disciple is annoying (other than the whole lack a real name), I would have to say I think its probably his voice which kills his character the most. He sounds like he would be better suited to a fairytale than the SW universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why he isn't called Mical is a mystery to me. I would have to say I think its probably his voice which kills his character the most. He sounds like he would be better suited to a fairytale than the SW universe. You're so right! He looks a bit like those blonde prince charming from "generic fairy tale # X". Or maybe he just sounds like he's high all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mira Dona Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 He does have a real name Mical. Why he isn't called Mical is a mystery to me. That's sort of my point, it made no sense to exclude that. Looking at it from a personal relationship sense, its hard to identify with someone who lacks a name. Calling him Disciple all the time lends itself easily to seeing him as nothing more than an object, which hurts any game when the story relies on you needing to 'care' enough about these characters that you WANT to find out their history and give them a chance to add things to the game. You're so right! He looks a bit like those blonde prince charming from "generic fairy tale # X". Yup, that was the first thing I thought when he first spoke. Before I first ran into his character I thought he would be alright, but after that first bow and his first lines I was like "I hate you." I was in total agreement with Atton.
