Goddammit. I decided to play the Darkside after all and in KOTOR II and when I got to the mercinaries in the outskirts of Telos, my character just kept missing, making him useless. Oh and he had darkside powers as well - that didn't work. WTF. I don't remember these guys being that hard on the Light side. I did beat them once, I don't know how, but my characters just went off on their own stupidly going after 5 guys at a time, limping their way there. And there is no way for me to stop it. So you know what, F this, I'm not playin anymore. If anyone wants to buy it, look in sig.

What? You couldn't pause it and assign all of your party to attack one enemy at a time? Common RTS strat, focus all your fire power on the biggest threat that can also be taken down fast, then rinse and repeat until you've finished off everyone - obviously keeping check on health and medpacks forceheal when needed.

Even when I didn't know how to play the games and didn't level up properly I could still get out of sticky situations by using my items to death. Grenades, stims and meds will go a LONG way to improving your chances - sometimes making really tough fights absurdly easy.

Yes, I did that. My character can't attack for sht, cause he always misses and his force powers aren't anything either cause they miss for the important guys. Even if I did take care of the first party which I could. My characters would run off to kill someone else when they weren't ready and die.

I don't think you're understanding what he's saying. Pause it... queue up attacks from each member of your party on ONE guy. If you're not powerful enough to win a battle, you're doing something wrong. I've found KOTOR2 to be rediculously easy. I actually find that I have more force powers than I need or want. I use force heal the most... and I use light sabers for combat ALWAYS. If I can't use a light saber with one character, I'll go buy a really good melee weapon for them... I also work on two handed melee since you do more damage that way. Screw blasters... they suck. Also... it helps sometimes to go solo, so your party doesn't follow you and get aggro'd... then you can pull enemies one at a time, like the robots n crap like that.

I understood. I did try it again and I kicked arse.

Just that my character sucks was throwing me off because the games are easy.

I'm passed that part now. I'm still selling it though, I figure I'll be done by then.
