Bro this content is SO AMAZING. It’s the unsung hero’s like you that keep this game and the dream alive, you are AWESOME
Why thank you! That is very much appreciated! I am always blown away by how popular this game still is with people years and years later. Show truly how good of a game it is!
Well executed. You should also mention that your class also dictates how effective your alignments Force powers will be during combat. For example a consular and/or Sith Lord would benefit from using a single bladed lightsaber and relying on dealing damage with Force Powers rather than weapons. Since most of the dark side powers are damage based. Same for guardian Jedi weapon Master where you're not bogged down with casting more so just a few buffs to augment dual weapon proficiencies and like you said heal with little to no cost at all.
bro ur a god ur making guides for a 10 year old game i appreciate that
Thank you very much! :)
@@CatDaddyGaming welcome
Love this content! Growing up i never knew any of this stuff playing the game! Can't wait to finish school and give the game another play
Another great Kotor 2 video!
Thank you very much! :)
I know this is 2 years old but i keep playing kotor and kotor 2 lol. Great content! Best video ive ever seen! I subscribed!
Been playing through these for the past 15 years and it's always a joy. That is much appreciated! Thank you very much for the kind words.
Consular and weapon Master with dual wielding is also a good choice for lightside. Since I feel like later in the game most classes are starved for feats, and in the beginning of the game your Force Powers are less effective, so those Force focus feats are essential. The only powers that matter for light side are heal stasis field and valor. Because most lightside powers are buff abilities as a pure light side playthrough it would be wise to choose dual weapon fighting and most likely weapon master. versus Sith Lord you can just sit there and spam storm and jack your charisma up to ridiculous levels. You're very rarely be using your lightsaber at all ironic isn't it
I always pick Guardian and Weapon Master
My friend just started playing the game and your guides can help even who has played the game 10 times
Very glad to hear the guides are being helpful! I do love the feeling of getting back into the game after a long long break from it!
@@CatDaddyGaming hey have you played oblivion or Skyrim because your tutorials and editing style is perfect for that.
@@CatDaddyGaming you should do oblivion and Skyrim guidea
@@huju4000 I have played them both but it was back on Xbox before I had my PC. Played Oblivion a little but I did 100% Skyrim and get all the achievements. Maybe I should get it for the PC. I have really wanted to try all the crazy ass mods they have come out with for it. Perhaps I will buy a copy and give it a go. I appreciate the suggestion. If you see a Skyrim video on my channel, know that you were the reason for it! :)
@@CatDaddyGaming thank you so much. Also this account I'm using is not my main one. ITS a random one I made. If you want to see my actual channel I can list it but I don't want to shamelessly self promote. Anyway get special edition and if you get oblivion, also get the game of the year deluxe edition. Let me know if you need help nodding from either me, or r/Skyrimmods
Thank you for the great content, man. Awesome stuff!
"I have my charisma at 19 +4 so 23"
Big nope, Kotor follows d20 rules, +4 is the modifier of your womping 19 charisma. Take it to 20 it'll be +5, etc...
I see! Thank you for pointing that out. The math added up when I was testing it but I was probably doing something wrong. I also was never a D&D player so I am not as familiar with the mechanics as I should be.
Amazing content bro, love it when people break down the mechanics of a game so clearly and comprehensively
Thank you kindly! Glad the video is enjoyed!
These videos are so helpful they encouraged me to play Kotor 2 for the 5th time
Lol glad to hear the videos are helpful! Also glad I could assist in encouraging another playthrough. This game is a classic. My favorite is coming back to it after a long break from it. The nostalgia is well worth it!
Well, this video helped me figure out what happened to my playthrough. Because of the fact that I'm just playing the Xbox version no restored content mod I exploit ALOT of glitches, and I'm guessing this is what caused my problem, witch I figured out thanks to this video I figured out that my game must think I'm constantly in combat but it ONLY affects my force point regeneration.
Great video! Thanks for sharing
Pretty sure the +4 is your charisma modifier. So when you need to apply charisma to a roll it would add plus 4. It doesn't make your charisma 23. If you increased char to 20 it would say plus 5
The modifiers don't add to your attribute totals, the modifiers are bonuses to rolls concerning checks for modifiers for those attributes. If you have 18 strength (+4 modifier) you get +4 more damage when unarmed or (1.5×4 more) when equipping most melee weapons, and +4 to attack rolls if you have the finesse feat. So having 18 strength with a +4 modifier doesn't mean you have 22 strength.
Thanks for clearing that up. I am not totally familiar with the D&D system. Thought the math worked out but I definitely had that wrong. Appreciate you letting me know so I can not make that mistake in the future.
Beautiful videos man
Thank you very much! I really appreciate you saying so! :)
Sorry but I really really like your voice. It gets me excited (not in that way but can be ;)
I know right?! I'm in love!🥰
Why thank you very much! I used to hate the sound of my voice as a teenager but have slowly worked myself into liking it. Kinda have to when you have to listen to your recordings for hours when making a video lol
Dope intro
It's crazy I played this game as a child and just now in my 30s I'm learning how to really play.
Now, THIS is pod racing.
How do you feel about the Force ?
I recently realized my Meetra and Revan are what Sion and Nihilus could have been if they had been more loyal to Kreia (or her teachings at least). But at the same time they fought and manipulated in the name of change, only Revan remained neutral, relying mostly on his physical capacities. My Meetra on the other hand grows stronger in the Force, particularly the Darkside.
This might sound weird, but I feel kinda guilty about my leveling up. When playing, I take the story more into account than getting stronger in levels.
Your wisdom is terrible though. 19 at Traya academy? Rough.
Was at 45 with valor & equipment, and still Kreia saved against everything I threw at her.
Was lots of fun getting the Sith to cluster and casting insanity, walking into the middle, casting master force scream and just watching them drop. Made a great build with conditioning, valor, and battle meditation.
Lightside btw for wis equips
i allways play a lightside playthrough, i have "issues" with force regen only in the tomb of korriban.
try this insane build to understand why it works that way:
sentinel, watchman.
ossus keeper,circle of saresh,jal shey belt and gloves (the + 2 wisdom types), +2 to all stats implant. (2 LIGHTSABERS)
starting stats:
8
8
17 (con)
18 (int)
9
8
through 4,8,12,16 level up int to a total of 22 base int (that way by level 25 you max all your skills), which means you are a walking workbench btw.
level 20 to con so you reach base 18 for the implant
the rest goes to wisdom
this build is the best build you can get hands down in this game and here are the reasons:
you stun ANYONE (except kreia), you 1 shot anyone with the right lightsabers enhancments (exile crystal/kaiburr +keen, ponitie lens,expert fencing emitters,ultimate diatum energy cell)
master valor, master speed, master flurry + juyo.
from level 13 to when you learn juyo use force channel.
i did an unharmed build and one shotted anyone in traius academy, it was hillarious, also around level 24, i dont use heals no more, i just don't need them anymore, the only time i find myself using it is at kreia ish? depends on if i save some level ups for that fight or not.
an other note i wanna mention is why i find this build the best one, you unlock any door in the game, you persuade anyone in the game, you defuse any mine in the game, you repair anything in the game, basically you reach to the highest possible level without cheating, which is around level 30 ish vanilla, 34 with tslrcm and m4-78, 38 with coruscant and the other dlc such as newbians,curse of the sith,genoharadan,cathalan and azgath dal null or w.e.
my favourite route is going to coruscant right after telos, using it to reach level 15, upgrading to prestige class, learning juyo. from that point on, the game is a piece of cake til the end. might be better yo use niman form to be honest but i havn't tested it.
thanks to the wisdom added to your defense skill from the handmaiden, i allways pick a male exile. you reach an insane amount of defense. basically only "strong" opponents hits you, it's like cheating.
if anyone tries this build, understand that it's all about the master stun for the sneak attack added dmg. i don't have anything against force lightning, it's just more fun to slice and dice. also, you reach an insane amount of force regen and force points around level 18 so force points is not an issue at all.
in the nihilus battle you wanna stun him using the force push + force breach, on sion normal stun should work with the force breach.
feel free to ask questions if i missed anything important
i should fix 2 parts i wrote here:
part 1) constitution can be 16 at character creation due to a +1 you get from hk-47 dialogue, put the rest into wisdom, also, if you do the math, it is actually better to start 15 con,which takes you to 14 wisdom. then level up constitution at levels 20 and 24, but i dont want the implant to be available only at 24, up to you guys.
part 2)it is better to be sith assasin over watchmen due to sith assasin getting every other level a sneak attack, while watchman gets it every 3rd level. i never understand why they made this difference between the 2 classes, it is absolut bs if you ask me but w.e
Great video, but I need to know... How / why is your Mini Map on the right side of the screen
Is yours not? Lol mine has always been on the right!
@@CatDaddyGaming I wonder why aha
Why do we need charisma to reduce opposite alignment power cost?
*To charm the force of course*
Come back to channel!
Good old Hugh J
Is there anything I should change up for kotor 1? I’m helping my friend who wants to play a sith force user class. I’m having him start with kotor one and then we are going to play 2 after, as the stories connect. Your videos are so helpful and I’m using a lot of your advice when I play kotor 2! Thank you 😊
Phil Mcrackin, hugh janus lol
The question is: What force powes i earn in some levels?
Can you rephrase the question? Not sure I am reading it right.
@@CatDaddyGaming At certain levels I obtain a force power, depeding on the class.
It say "You have been granted the following powers".
I wanna know what powers do i get and in wich levels.
@@niiqlodigassThat is pretty lengthy breakdown. Too much to do through a comment. Here is a link to the Strategy Wiki. This will tell you when you get all Force Powers and what class you need to be.
strategywiki.org/wiki/Star_Wars_Knights_of_the_Old_Republic_II:_The_Sith_Lords/Force_powers
@@CatDaddyGaming thx
Nice video. Though I have to ask why many of your characters can't hit anything when they fight...
Thanks!! And that's because I don't build my characters correctly lol I turn everyone into a Jedi and then focus on Force relate stuff. I usually always play Consular and I am super powerful with the force but lacking in physical combat. By end game I catch up though. I like to use footage of characters actually battling. I tend to spam force storm and that gets boring to watch so I record footage of lightsaber battles so it's more enjoyable for the viewer. But you make a good point, it does look silly missing most swings lol
So it's out for Android now... I bought this freaking games 3 times now. Regular, Steam and Android. They HAVE TO make Kotor 3 with that Money. xD
I am right there with you my friend. I have so many copies of this game. I have OG Xbox, Steam, Disc Version, Android, and a second Steam version on my back up computer. We are just throwing money at the devs lol!
Yo you gotta give us your mod list, Broseidon.
I will happily share some screenshots with you of what mods I have on. I have 2 versions of Kotor 2 on my PC so I can share both. I run only Steam Workshop mods on my Steam copy, but also have the disc version installed so I can try out the cooler mods on there without messing with my Steam version.
@@CatDaddyGaming the +4 is the modifier that you have *BECAUSE* of your charisma.
Do you have in plan walkthrough?
I could possibly! Which kind of walkthrough are you looking for?
Whole game but "try hard" max lv every quest etc.
@@ThePawcioRavage Sorry for the late reply but I do have something like that in the works. I started on a Nar Shaddaa 100% walkthrough. I got side tracked with other videos and video games coming out. I will start working on it again. It will probably take me a while to do the whole game but doing it planet by planet should make it easier. I am doing some companion build guides currently and then I think I will try to bust this out! Thank you very much for the suggestion!
Are you running the restored content mod?
I sure am! It's the best way to play the game!
@@CatDaddyGaming use to play it on Xbox. Just got it 70% off today on steam. So time to see the differences.
@@robertreese6903 That's amazing news! For just a few bucks it is totally worth every penny. Check out a video on UA-cam called Kotor 2 Modding Story. It tells the story of how the restored content came to be. Pretty fascinating. Also be sure to tack on The M4-78 Restoration Mod. It was intended for the game but was cut, modders made it from scratch pretty much cuz there wasn't content to restore. It ties up the story of Vash on Korriban more into the main story. Pretty neat stuff!
Pazaak Video when? :0
I will have to add it to my list! Have a few others vids planned out in the next little while but I will for sure look into making it. Appreciate the suggestion!
@Jeffrey Scott I am thrilled you noticed! I try my best to respond or heart a comment so that people know I actually did read them. See lots of creators ignoring comments after the first few days. Granted I don't have thousands of comments like some videos do, but I try to help out with issues if I can! My videos would be useless without the audience so it's the least I can do. I sometimes fall a few weeks behind but catching up on them now lol
Are u that It wasn't me named among us player that played with deadshot ,if yes then reply.
I will reply but that wasn't me. I actually have never played Among Us. I occasionally do the silly names as my username, like Hugh Janus, but other than that I am always CatDaddy in lobbies.
@@CatDaddyGaming ohh sorry buddy
Why are people making videos on a game that came out 20 years ago based on when this published its 17 years?
Cuz it's a classic and still very popular despite its age!
Thank you for not pronouncing "Consular" as Councilor.
Lol took me long enough! Now I don't sound like an idiot!
