View original postReally? Why? I actually played KotOR 2 first, and 1 second, which did spoil the big reveal (on the upside it does more to establish Revan's character, so that it means more when you're playing him/her in the first game), but regardless, I still think the second is at least as good as the first... Kreia is a great character, too complex for the usual "good guy/bad guy" distinction, and the rest of the plot, while perhaps a bit too derivative of the first game, is definitely not worse?
I played KotOR 2 back when it came out so details are a little fuzzy but I seem to remember the end feeling rushed and not getting to know what happens to all your buddies and the conclusion feeling... not very conclusive. Isn't the final battle basically talking to Kreia for 30 minutes?
Basically what people originally complained about concerning Mass Effect's ending. But a lot worse.
View original postI now restarted ME1 with a male character, aiming more for the Renegade side. Oddly, though, it seems if you play mostly Renegade while avoiding extreme cruelty, you can end up fully Renegade but with still more than half of the Paragon score (enough for a lot of Paragon convince options), as there is a handful of quests that will give you tons of Paragon points almost inevitably (for instance when eliminating obstacles for your allies on Virmire - there's no possibility to get equivalent Renegade points, or any sensible reason not to do it). Not sure if that trend carries on in the later games.
Interesting. I'm in the middle of ME3 with my paragon FemShep now, and considering I lost my Dragon Age save files and therefore wanted to replay both DA
and DA2 before Inquisition, and also try out a renegade BroShep, it appears I will be stuck in Bioware game-purgatory for awhile yet
View original postYeah... in fairness, Ashley really doesn't seem like the bisexual type, it does make more sense for Kaidan. Regardless, it is pretty cool that they went to the effort of giving both characters their arc in ME3 even though it takes multiple playthroughs to experience both (multiple playthroughs of the trilogy, really, if you don't want to take shortcuts).
Huh, never figured Kaidan as the bisexual type.
