I tolerated Mission and her loser brother, Bastilia and her constant need for reassurance, but Malak was just too much.įor the record, there’s no dark-side points for killing the captive Jedi if you examine them, it says something about how they’re effectively already dead. I just wanted to tell him “Enough! Let’s fight!” What the hell is it with these villians that they have to rant so much before the final fight? I came for a fight, not a soliquy. Actually, I didn’t need to buy much, since the Jedi code doesn’t prevent looting every chest you come across.Īctually, the only thing that really got on my nerves was Darth Malak sermonizing about how strong he is and how weak I am and blah blah blah. The rest of the time, I had more then enough money for anything. Hell, I even felt bad when Juhani told me not to use the force to mess with people’s minds to avoid paying the docking fee.Īnd I will say that it is expensive to be nice, but only on taris.

Next time, I’ll probably play dark side, but I actually liked most of the characters on your team and I’d really hate to hurt them. I just finished the game as light side and I rather enjoyed it. The only one I haven’t tried is playing nasty right up to the alien temple to get all the villainous powers, and then And get to see Bastila modelling her Sith’s Secrets new season underwear. Waste the captive Jedi with a couple of Throw Lightsabres, toss a couple of Force Lightning and Drain Life hits at him, he’s toast, and you rule the galaxy. Oh, sure, you get Light Side powers, but the Dark Side powers are far better, too: Malak is bloody hard if you’re playing nice, since the strongest power you get is Force Push, but play dirty, and he’s a stroll in the park. Well, a couple of Echani duelling shields would be nice this Christmas, but good Jedi don’t take money for helping hapless aliens. Being nice costs, and you’re endlessly scrabbling to recoup the credits you give away to every Harry Hardluck and Sally Sobstory you bump into. What would you get if you played nice? Take Dia, the chick who tells you to get out on Taris: you’ve got to pay off the guy who took out the contract, and you’re 400 credits out of pocket with nothing more than her grateful thanks and a Light Side bonus.

Which do you play? I’ve beaten the game on both, and the Dark Side is far more fun, as well as being much easier: you can backchat Carth when he starts whining about “betrayal”, ignore that hypocritical pricktease Bastila’s tedious sermonising about the perils of the Dark Side, you get all the fun “assassin” quests instead of the boring “reuniting estranged families” ones Yep, the Dark Side pays cash, baby.
