I think Revan's motives and how much he was influenced depends on what you consider canon, because I believe KotOR and TOR contradict each other somewhat on that point (and many others). So it kinda depends on individual interpretation.

Bastila is... complicated. I definitely get why so many players disliked her because she was such a stuck up little Jedi princess snob at the beginning, but I never hated her. She was someone who had been basically indoctrinated by the Jedi Order since she was a toddler and grew up thinking she was special both because she had Force sensitivity and because of her battle meditation skill. But that attitude was more derived from her masters than anything. All of the Jedi are like that, from the council on Dantooine to the random knight that chides you for not wearing jedi robes in the enclave. But with Bastila there is a chance to break down that dogma and show her that everything is not as cut and dry as she was taught. Granted, it takes romancing her and then allowing Malak to break her to make her come to her senses, but by the end of the game if you play lightside and redeem her (using your connection to her, not the stupid Jedi code), she does have a pretty major character arc.

And you're right, Jolee points out a lot of things that are wrong with the Jedi Order. I wish Bioware had made it easier to play as a gray Jedi rather than straight up light or dark (especially since most of the dark options are basically "DIE DIE DIE"), but he lends an interesting perspective that hadn't been seen in the Star Wars universe up to that point.

You're right. That makes him probably the most difficult to train. Since you gain influence with most of the others through dialogue, it can catch you off guard if you try to talk to Bao dur and that comes up before you're ready.

Also, on Dantooine there is a side quest to find some atmospheric sensors. Put Bao-Dur in your party for that quest and let him inspect the sensors when you find them for some influence.

What up guys.

I got back to playing through this recently on the Xbox (actually doing it backwards compatible 360 which is laggy as crap but whatever), and the influence system is... interesting. DA:O was better IMO, but if you look up the guides you can make it work pretty well. Bao-Dur is influenced outside the Ebon Hawk during events, not conversations. It's different than BioWare's conversation driven system, but basically just have him in your party and do lightside things to gain influence with him, and after a couple times you can talk to him about the war and tell him something to the effect that the Force can help him deal with his anger and hate of the Mandalorians. There are a couple of good places on Dxun and Dantooine to influence him, like sparing the wounded Mandalorian on the forest moon.

Mira is best as a ranged character with a repeater or blaster rifle (well, next to HK). She's ok as a Force user but I think that's more of just a perk to her character rather than a necessity.

Recently found this and it sums up this issue perfectly...

I thought the lightsaber design was great. I really don't understand the outrage. I think it's psuedo-fanboys who think they know more about Star Wars than they actually do and are looking for something to complain about with J.J.Abrams' version. Crossguards are in lore I'm pretty sure, so that isn't a problem for me. And there are materials that resist lightsaber blades, so that also isn't a problem either (anyone who has read the EU knows about cortosis, and vibroswords from the games and magna staffs from Episode III). And as far as blades on the side hurting the user, the guy trained with it so he knows how to hold it and not hurt himself (or herself). Just like Twi'leks and other species would have to train how to use a lightsaber and not cut off their lekkus (honestly that seems more likely than hurting yourself with a crossguard).

Plus the unstable blade looks amazing! It looks like something straight out of Force Unleashed (I really hope this means that in one of the future films we finally get to see a lightwhip!).

I think they tried to with LOTR Conquest, but yeah, not the same as Battlefront. Although if you like the Batman Arkham style of game play, LOTR Shadow of Mordor looks awesome and follows that same style of play.

I FINALLY got around to playing Dragon Age: Origins, and it's pretty good. I enjoyed Mass Effect more, but I like the advances that they made in turn based combat to make it better than KotOR.

Hey guys. Sup. :-D i'll hopefully have a video on this very subject soon. KotOR 3 is owed fans as much as Mass Effect 3 was.

Haha.

I need to pick up some of the Assassins Creed games. They've always looked pretty cool.
