In a Galaxy far far away.

I was never really that excited about World of Warcraft coming out. I never really played the Warcraft games, so didn't know the IP, but it sounded amazing from some friends, bought it and loved it.

Bioware are making an MMO Based on Knights of the Old Republic, and me being a huge fan of Knights of the Old Republic (both of them) really can't wait. Even if the game is a bad Warcraft clone I still think i'll love to play it, but I doubt it will with what Bioware are promising, even if they can only deliver 10% of what they promise, it should be great.

So I threw Knights of the Old Republic on my netbook (gogo netbook running older games!) and played that most of the way through. I forgot a couple of vital things.

1) I have low Dex, high Str (gogo lightsabers) and wear medium armour (since the best armour in the game is medium, not because I can't wear heavy). I picked up the Drain Life force power, and the other one after it. Neither works in armour.

2) Other force powers included Choke (level 3, is it Death?).

3) I wanted to play the game Evil, then switch to good at the end, since the entire Light/Dark side thing was useless in respect to the story since there is a very definate "So, what ending do you want?" point. I forgot that this would put me neutral instead of leaving me in the Dark Side.

So, it comes to fighting against Malak at the end. I can't use some of my force powers due to my armour, the main force power I do use, Malak just resists or is immune, which means I've got to rely 100% on my lightsaber skills to win. My Lightsaber misses half the time, and does low damage, he can kill me in 2 hits...

This isn't helped by the fact that my collection of truely brilliant gear has either "Lightside Only" or "Darkside Only" wrote on it, and being neutral means I can't use either.

Thankfully I did take the Disable Droid force power, making the fight 100 times easier than it would be if I hadn't, but I still can't kill Malak.

I promised myself I'd move onto number 2 after finishing the first game, but I get the feeling I might not finish the first without playing all the way through again...
