Eh... I like Bastila, but she starts to grate on my nerves after a while with the lectures and assuming command on Taris...but, having just said that, once the story actually starts, then she becomes interesting, and a worthwhile companion.

 

In fact, I never leave the Ebon Hawk without her... except for Korriban, when she's getting tortured by Malak.

 

Anyway, thanks for destroying NWN for me! I've been meaning to finish it one of these days... weeks... months... years? By OC, I'm assuming you mean Original Campaign, yes?

Meh, she is very low on my list of good characters. An arogant insecure doll who lectures I could like. An arogant insecure doll who lectures/prattles while dropping not-so-subtle hints about her eventual "fall", then turns into a power hungry girl toy when she finaly does, not so much.

A tragic character. I'm only able to turn her away from suicide by saber brawl about half the time,

 

Born to a troubled family, and parents whose marriage seemed to be on the skids. Then, abandoned to the Jedi Order as a small child, shut up in enclaves and drilled relentlessly. She parroted the dogma, became the perfect little doll image they wanted, saying the right codes, kowtowing towards the right Masters - beautiful in appearance, obedient, powerful in the Force...

 

And painfully, tragically brittle. She was already falling towards the Dark Side, and it's even more apparent if you play DSM Revan. Malak gives her a BIG shove over the edge, playing up her insecurities and ripping her apart using the cracks in her armor.

To be fair, she was being interrogated and tortured by the Dark Lord of the Sith.

 

So do you actually like the game or not? :xp:

 

Regards the hotter thing - Visas has no eyes.

 

 

Yeahh, she might say 'fine fine I'll go DS' or whatever, but someone who was intent on the LS, wouldn't be able to just do that. :) Yeah, she said she doubted herself sometime, but how many times have you doubted yourself and NOT gone out murdering people?

 

;)

 

I love the game! But everyone has their... (pun INTENDED) darker side. lol.

The good characters in Kotor 1 are Revan (of course), HK-47 (efficient), Canderous (efficient), T3-M4 (useful). Other else are nothing more than minor characters.

 

Funny. I rotate characters quite a bit, depending on the planet and situation. Mission can be just as useful as T3 skill-wise. Her sneak attack and stealth capabilities really help in places like the Manaan Sith base.

 

Carth? Never weigh him down with anything heavier than Echani armor, amp up his dex, and give him the best pistols you can get. Canderous gets the opposite tack - heavy armor, that planet-smasher he has fully upgraded, and Grenadier script. That way, you send the Mandalorian against the tanks like assault droids while Carth shoots up the lesser foes in the way. Alternately, hand Carth some blades (this works excellently on the Leviathan bridge). HK-47 with a good rifle and full upgrades splits the difference.

 

The Jedi party members? Juhani is excellent. The combination of Force Jump, solid hit points, and saber skill works very well where there's a lot of enemies. In addition, her stealth skill makes her a natural scout. Jolee's not really the best fighter, but he is a lot of fun. Bastila, like HK-47, is a good middle-of-the-road fighter for things like Sith bases or modded levels.

 

But that's fighting, and I tend not to play it for that. I'm looking for a story. so, Bastila goes with me on the bottom half of Dantooine, most of Tatooine, and parts of Manaan. Dantooine, as it's her home turf, Tatooine, as we have her parents' quest to work with, and Manaan, as she's "officially" in charge of the mission and we're showing the flag.

Bastilla was an alright character, with a unique ability, her fall to the darkside made sense but it could have been better. I wish Bioware was allowed to give Bastilla the name they wanted to in Vima Sunrider, it would have connected the game to the Tales of the Jedi comics but unfortunately it outside circumstances didn't allow it to happen.

First off, I played fem Revan first, so there was no romance. When I got to Bastilla, I was expecting her to say something like, "Thank you for rescuing me. I hope you didn't get hurt too badly. Do you have an idea how to get off this planet?" Instead I got, "Well, I didn't get rescued by you, I rescued you, you stupid little girl! Now I'm in charge, and you shut up and listen to me because I'm technically an authority figure!"

 

'Scuse me?

 

For the rest of the game, she tormented me saying, "Don't fall to the Dark Side, the Dark Side if evil." "You're straying too close to the Dark Side!"

 

Never mind that I was so flamin' Light Side I gagged every time I opened my character screen to level...

 

Then, of course, she falls to the Dark Side! So now, I gotta rescue her rear from the Dark Side if I want the Republic to win, even though her gut is close enough to stab...it was pure agony turning her back to the Light Side!!!!!!

 

On top of that, I was disappointed about how she looked. She looks just gorgeous on the box, but in the game, I personally think she's kinda...well...chunky? Her face is...okay...but her frame is too heavy.

 

And her voice annoyed me.

 

 

Hey, you asked! :xp:

^lol!

that you expected her to be nice but got a snoot was probably exactly the intended dynamic the writers wanted imo.

lol. the box and the game bastila look completely different. in fact, all the other illustrations of bastila are different from each other as well. heck all they need is a youngish woman with black hair and that bodysuit. it annoys me that they cant keep it similar.

frame? afaik her body is just the same model used for all the medium females...

or are you meaning something else...s -?

fyi im not angry or anything. shes a character i like... but im not having giant hearts in stead of eyes and a slack tongue about it :lol:

Bastila may have been annoting at first...but as Jolee Bindo once said: Oh...and that body. Bastila is hot...Hot...HOT! I thought her voice was beautiful at first...but then i found that i couldn't find the off button for her voice and i grew to hate it
