killerqueenfan Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I've been wanting to do this for a while, but wanted to see if anyone had ever had any luck (good or bad) with it. I'm thinking of using a Sentinel and taking the force deflection powers, and dual-wielding pistols thru the game. Can anyone think of any pros or cons to that?

The Doctor Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 DO IT! I tryed it in my most recent file, and it kick @$$. It was a little challenging in places, but TSL was far to easy anyway, especially once you got a lightsaber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Maker Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Never, not in TSL or K1, lightsabers are much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeSade Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I haven't tried it so I could be wrong but how do you stop the other Jedi/Sith from deflecting every shot you make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Yeah, it's fun if you're looking for something different. I only tried it for K1 (TSL blasters are too powerful). The only battle I really struggled with was Malak (uber deflect). Still wasn't too hard though. You can find a couple of recommended character builds here.

SITHSLAYER133 Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 it friggin hard but u worth it u end up feeling like some sorta gunslinger in the old west Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venom750 Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I did and it was good i suggest using a guardian because you can use double-handed feat while at the same tme getting your blasters and lightsabers up at the same time because your lightsaber can help in sticky situations.

Darth Covetous Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I haven't tried it so I could be wrong but how do you stop the other Jedi/Sith from deflecting every shot you make. I've never tried, but what I've read makes sense. As a Balster Jedi, you need to keep that Dex as high as possible (so you hit with your blasters) So, if you run up into the face of a Jedi, you get a bonus to hit, and they are hardly able to deflect at all. They, of course, also get combat bonuses for using melee against a ranged opponent, but the idea is that your Dex is high enough that it raises your defense to a point where they can't really hit you. That's it in a nutshell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Don't forget that you still have Jedi powers. Opponents don't deflect very well if they're stunned or in statis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordre Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 With all the nice feats in kotor2, and the relatively few lightsabers I've encountered, it wouldn't be too hard to kick some ass with blasters... Of course, to actually do some damage, they'd had to be upgraded a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melly Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 I agree with The Doctor. It was incredibly fun playing through TSL as a dual wielding pistol terror. Started out as a Sentinel and then went for Watchman (for sneak attack and the Force Camouflage powers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MdKnightR Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 I never tryed it, but I prefer using sabers. However, just to have something different, I maxed out my character's dexterity and played through the entire game with her in her undies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobQel-Droma Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 I think I am going to try it out with my game right now, or maybe another game. Probably this game, although it kind of sucks since I don't think I quite made the right build. Wasn't planning on doing a gunfighter character 'til now.

lukeiamyourdad Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I'm with Achilles though I tried it with both games. In K1, it's quite challenging at times but in K2, with the right blasters and force powers, you can take down enemies just as fast as with a lightsaber. Which makes it boring.

I agree, it becomes quite easy to do with ranged weapons. And it's just "so uncivilized!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobQel-Droma Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Wonder if Katarn and Kenobi met, what would their views on the matter be? Obi-Wan: This, is a lightsaber. A more elegant weapon, for a more- civilized age. Kyle: I know that. But nothing is better than a good blaster at you side, old man. A Stouker concussion rifle is such a fun weapon, in a remnant filled age. Clears a crowd very well. Obi-Wan: So uncivilized. So messy. Kyle: Oh really? Here is a disruptor rifle, it isn't messy. Doesn't leave a single trace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkExcalibur42 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 lmao.... heheh (to RobQel-Droma's post) But i was thinking about going the entire game dual pistols. I'd basically remake my old SWG character (Jaykke Starhawk). THAT would be fun, and way more of a challenge... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarNProgress Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 It's relatively easy. I'd suggest a Sentinel as to get Sneak Attack (you WILL have a 25% stun chance, right?) and then all the right stuff. Feats: Two-Handed Fighting Max Precise Shot Max (Who's worried about deflection with this?) Toughness (As many levels as you want, but the first is really the only important one) Rapid Shot Max Finesse: Lightsabres Force Powers: Force Deflection and Redirection (This should work with dual blasters, right?) Burst of Speed (I think you get like 6 rolls with dual blasters and Master Speed) Force Wave (This to Stun, then your Sneak Attack can rape) For stats, you'd probably want to suffer a few stats for 16 dex to start, then 8 to strength and buff up the rest of your stuff, probably 10 to int and then boost your Wisdom some so your force powers don't totally suck. Charisma can be nice as well. For equipment, you'd look for Dex boosting items, ofcourse, and you'd want your two best pistols in your main equipment slot, then a Lightsabre in your backup in case you have to get nasty.

RobQel-Droma Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Just beat Juhani and two groups of Mandalorians, not to mention Kinrath and Kath Hounds. Sweet!!! . I am going around with dual heavy blasters and Davik's armor. Can't wait till I get the Mandalorian heavy pistols. Once I get KotOR II and have beaten it many times through playing it differently (pretty much trying everything), I am going to do a gunfighter here. Especially with the new stuff you can do.

Cygnus Q'ol Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I'm doing this now. It's actually quite fun. I find myself falling to the dark side though. I feel like Boba Fett. Only I'm armored and carry rapid fire dual Mandalorian heavys. (upgraded just a bit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth InSidious Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 When even in K1 a standard blaster rifle can be upgraded to do 5-40 damage.....mwahaha! Still....continuing.... Obi-Wan: Ah, but a sabre leaves a mark.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 When even in K1 a standard blaster rifle can be upgraded to do 5-40 damage.....mwahaha! No, it doesn't. Not without mods or cheats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I've never tried doing this, but might have to. The idea never actually occured to me, but it could be quite fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
