I dont know what it is about videogames, but they always seem to inspire grandiose pronouncements on the part of the players. If words could be literally eaten, these pronouncements would then be the staple diet of most gamers as they’re proved utterly wrong. Take, for instance, Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords and more specifically me playing the game last night.
This is the worst arrangement ever, these 2 are toast before they ever begin. They’ll never rescue my main guy…
The “rescue” of the main player dude in the game, from G0-T0’s yacht, involes you picking 2 of the other (secondary) cast to fight and solve the puzzles all through the game level. I picked the two most useless characters - Bao-Dur and T3-M4 only to find that they were a powerhouse together - send in Bao-Dur first to use his ability to knock out shielding and then the renewable shield that T3 carries means he’s pretty much safe from the droid shooting back … who cares that Bao-Dur gets flattened and has to wait out the rest of the fight while T3 gets it done? Better still, they’re immune from the poison gas mines (assuming that Bao-Dur wears the breath mask) that are meant to trip you up. So, yes, I eat my words having seen these 2 in action. So if you’re looking for a hint on finishing the G0-T0’s yacht level on KOTOR2, go with these guys - they kick way more droid ass (uhhhh, floating spherical rotunda) than (say) The Handmaiden and either Visas or Kreia.
