Let's Play: Knights of the Old Republic II: Update 23: The Dark Side of the Force

[woodaba]

Ok, right now we're three for three on becoming a Jedi Master, and Dantooine is ahead of Onderon as our next destination at two points to three.

I also vote for Jedi Master and Dantooine. I figure Korriban tends to work best as last because of what goes on there, and whilst I do enjoy screwing with the order of Onderon a bit, for a LP it's probably best to play nice and have it work in an ordered fashion.

Just remember, we're playing with the M4-78 re-implementation mod, so travelling to Korriban will unlock that planet, so Korriban won't be the last planet we'll necessarily be visiting.

 

[BrotherRool]

Oh I'd forgotten about that. I still haven't played through with the droid planet, is it long? If it is then I guess Dantooine, Korriban, Onderon, M4-78 might be a better order then, but that's still a vote for Dantooine at this point.

I'd say it's length is roughly comparable with Korriban. It's not the lengthy miasma of sidequests that Nar Shaddaa is, that's for sure.

 

[woodaba]

Alright, capturing the footage now: we'll be becoming a Jedi Master by unanimous consent and heading to Dantooine. Stay tuned!

 

[C F]

...And I just caught up with the Let's Play. Silly me for missing the vote, but let's see if I would have changed anything if I hadn't:

Dantooine (It's interesting, but not as exciting as Onderon and Korriban can be so let's save those for the endgame and get this in as a nice midday lunch break)
Jedi Master (because Force Powers, and depending on your wisdom and charisma we could go with the drain life or force lightning trees without a substantial cost penalty)

So the answer is: nope!

 

[AD-Stu]

Really interested to see how that planet plays out - is it actually complete in this version?

Never got the chance to play it myself, and all I've seen of it otherwise are screenshots from the unfinished version. Which were... bizarre, to say the least

 

[iwinatlife]

Well my Vote would have been Dantooine for planets cause i always liked that one early.

But Jedi Watchman for prestige class because I've never seen it used.
My light side playthrough usually being weaponmaster and Dark side being SITH LORD because chain casting force crush at the end of the game while a tad OP is very satisfying as a reward for going through those hellish early Jedi Master fights

 

[gamptrak]

WOO!! It's back! So happy. While I'm to late for the vote I don't think it would have mattered. Would have gone for Onderon and Jedi Master.

Playing the Xbox version, you missed out on so much content. Never had those random HK fight, and I the game was bugged that I couldn't complete the Telos quest line and inform them that they had fuel.

So excited for the next update though, YAY.

[HEADING=2]Update 20: Homecoming[/HEADING]

Wait, why are you not playing Transistor? GO PLAY TRANSISTOR. This will still be here when you're done. Go go go!

Spoiler

Last time, we finally left the mean streets of Nar Shaddaa and are now heading for greener pastures. Quite literally, in fact: our next destination is Dantooine. But first, as per your votes, we're going to graduating to Jedi Master! Yaay!

But, of course, it wouldn't be Kreia is she didn't ***** at us for a good half hour first.

Bob: "I'm surprised you know so much when you never leave this room."

Kreia: "I personally rescued you from the crime lord's yacht."

Bob: "That doesn't count."

Kreia: "...and why not?"

Bob: "Because...fuck you, that's why."

Kreia: "(sigh)"

Bob: "...um...if you say so. Shouldn't she at least know her heritage, though? Her mother was a Jedi, after all. Wouldn't she want her daughter to follow in her footsteps?"

REMEMBER THIS. THIS WILL BE IMPORTANT. THERE WILL BE A TEST LATER.

Bob: "Fine. Now, about this Prestige Class business..."

Bob: "I...who...what? You put those thoughts in my head with you're incredibly suggestive phrasing! My feelings for her are nothing like that, and you know it."

Interestingly, there's no way for the Exile to say "I'm hot for the Handmaiden" here. The most you can do is be evasive about it.

Incidentally, the idea of a Jedi Watchman gives me the image of Rorschach having a lightsaber duel with Ozymandias. In other words, the most awesome thing ever.

Bob: "I didn't know becoming a Jedi Master was as easy as just picking it at level 15."

Kreia: "How else do you think that that fool Anakin Skywalker gets on the Jedi Council?"

Bob: "...because everyone not called Obi-Wan was an incredible moron in that movie?"

Kreia: "I mean apart from that."

Bob: "Then that's what I'll do! I'll teach the future generations! I'll be a Jedi Master!"

It was in that moment that a thousand people across the galaxy convulsed in horror...without knowing why.

Bob: "...Hey, come on. It's not like I could be any worse than the last batch of Jedi Masters."

Fair point.

Bob: "So...what do I have to do?"

With our lovely new class, we have a bunch of new feats.

Light Side Enlightenment is great. Because pretty much every possible force-user companion on a light-side path is neutral or light-side, it basically just lets you use the powers you're already using for much cheaper.

We also add this to help with the general effort.

This is a great power, being essentially a more powerful heal for your party members.

We also pick up Stasis Field, which is great against organic enemies. Once we get Force Storm and the ability to absorb the health of multiple people at once, it will form the first part of the Ultimate Killing Field of Ultimate Death.

That finally done, we finally arrive at Dantooine.

Well...not exactly. The Matale family was involved with a, frankly, ludicrous Romeo and Juliet sidequest in the first game. They "disappeared" when Revan convinced them to murder each other. Because Revan.

Our incredibly enlightening conversation with the droid done (we'll check back later), we go talk to the other people around the ship, starting with this old geezer.

Bob: "...it's a goddamn Jedi Temple! Revan and Malak and a hundred other great Jedi lived and learned there! It has huge historical significance! Why is it SO strange that anyone would want to just...visit it? Not everyone who visits the Lourve is planning to steal the Mona Lisa, asshole!"

Old Man: "...salvager!"

Bob: "ARRRRRRRRGH! ...Don't you know ANYTHING about the Enclave?"

Bob: "You're having trouble with the droids? I did notice a droid over there...seems kinda fucked."

Droid: "Daisy...Daisy...Give me your answer...dooooooo"

Bob: "Nothing to do with me, though. Didn't touch it. Look at me. Is this the face of a liar?"

Old Man: "It looks like the face of a salvager."

Bob: "...I want to hurt you so bad."

All of this stuff we've been chatting about will crop up soon enough. For now though, let's just continue doing not much of any real substance.

So, yeah. This guy has got access to some of the best armor components available at this stage of the game. So, like Final Fantasy 8, if you want top tier equipment, you gotta play some cards. Unfortunately, unlike Final Fantasy 8, Pazaak is shite, even with the minor improvements in this game. So we'll be going back to this guy...when I can stomach it. Why am I not doing this now?

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20Part%207/2014-05-09_00193_zps78c4fa0b.jpg.html]

I refuse to play more than one game of Pazaak a day. I'm pretty sure there are serious mental health risks from playing more.

Leaving the spaceport, we move out onto Dantooine proper.

I gotta say, the open fields and blue skies are a nice change of pace from our previous environments of a grey metal space station, a grey metal space station, a brief field, and a grey space city. I also like how this place is a reasonable approximation of how the place looked in the first game. I mean, some stuff is missing, and there's a few fields missing, but the Jedi Temple area is pretty much spot on.

Outside the building, we come across this chap.

Oddly enough, despite avoiding a lot of the conventions of Star Wars, the writing in this game does occasionally fall into one of my biggest pet peeves in sci-fi/fantasy writing. I'll let this Penny Arcade comic sum it up. [http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2008/07/23/san-diego-sketchbook-on-vibroblades]

Says the man who not 10 seconds ago was threatening to murder anyone who crossed his path. I would make a comment about gun control, but I've learned not to antagonize people with deadly weapons they can use at a moment's notice.

We decide to head to the Administrator's office.

Because when one man murders another, as long as it's a fair fight, everything is entirely ok. Something tells me that Dantooine has regressed somewhat to a frontier society...

We decide to leave Khoonda for now. On our way out, though...

And...this guy legitimately wont talk to us anymore. Dick. With that, we leave onto the plains of Dantooine.

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20Part%207/2014-05-09_00474_zps0ecfcf19.jpg.html]

Dantooine is a much smaller world than Nar Shaddaa. At least, it feels smaller, partly because the atmosphere of Nar Shaddaa actually lent the place an air of this bustling run down city, partly because there was loads of side quests there compared to the rather sparse content of Dantooine, and partially because the "Overworld" of Dantooine consists of...two areas. One thing I'd like to note is that the monsters running around here are significantly tougher than the enemies that have been hyped up by everyone in Khoonda, though sadly I didn't capture any screenshots.

Making our way near the Jedi Temple, we encounter these guys.

Annoyed, we return to talk with Miss Surly about the thief.

Bob: "Do you know anything about the Thief around here?"

Moving closer to the Temple, we hear the Voices again. This time though, they're not telling us to burn things! Yay!

One group down.

With the HK's dealt with, the sublevel door opens.

G0-T0: "Is there planet where everyone doesn't hate you?"

NEXT TIME: The Enclave sublevel, Bob waxing nostalgic, and the Companion That Never Was.

Question Time! What are you all looking forward to from E3 this year? For me, as a recent convert to the small Wii U cult, I CRAVE new information on Monolith Soft's X. Xenoblade with Mechs? Uh...yes please! I'd also like reassurances that Dragon Age: Inquisition and Final Fantasy XV will be good. I'm a cautiously optimistic of both, and I actually liked Dragon Age 2 a lot more than most, but please, Bioware and Square. I used to really like you guys. Don't let me down on this one.

 

[BrotherRool]

Is there more dialogue about Arren Kae in the future or was this it? For some reason I seem to remember it being a bit more...pointed.

I'm not actually looking forward to any specific game at E3, I'm quite content to be pleasantly surprised this time around. There's lots of IPs that could be good (or potential for new IPs) but I'm not expecting anything of any of them. Except for the Phantom Pain, I'd love to puzzle through a few more cutscenes of that.

There's a couple more dialogues about her sprinkled throughout, even in the next update! I wouldn't expect too many more references to her added in cut content, however: I speculate that she was a late addition to the script given how infrequently she turns up, and thus I can't remember off the top of my head if there are any more significant additions to her subplot aside from some stuff at the ending, I think.

 

[AD-Stu]

Do you know how much of the Arren Kae material was added back in by the restored content mod? I've only played the game once through in its original form (and I missed a heap of stuff in that playthrough) and I can't really remember what was original vs restored on this point...

According to my notes, there's a conversation between the Disciple regarding Arren Kae if you recruit him that was cut, so take that with a a bit of salt. However, the vast, vast majority of Arren Kae allusions were in fact in the original game. I think it might be one of the only "subplot" that survived the Great Story Culling almost completely intact.

 

[C F]

Ah, the enclave's a bit of a crawl, but it's not that hard.

Also, I am not looking forward to E3 this year. I actually haven't been keeping an ear to E3 for a while now. But! I wouldn't mind hearing from the Nintendo side of things. The Wii U and its kind need a shot of hype in the arm.

 

[Supertegwyn]

I have some reading to catch up on I see

 

[putowtin]

Excellent update,

E3? Dragon Age: Inquisition & Assassin's Creed (the many that are coming out later this year) Oh & a nosy and what's coming next

 

[SantoUno]

Awesome as always.

As for E3? I honestly haven't been hyped about any games premiering at E3 for years. Except for Dark Souls 2.

Coincidentally...

Spoiler

BEAST SOOOOOOOUUUULSSSS!

Yes, that game should be exhibited at E3. I wonder when I can buy a PS4, hope it's before it's released.

Hmmm... it's almost like Obsidian wanted us to know that little tidbit was important or something...
