I finished the game once. But, after a while I only used Jedis for combat. I didn't use Canderous or Hk 47 much, because blasters are underpowered in the game. Maybe I'm not playing the game right, but Bastila is much more lethal in combat than Canderous or HK 47, even if she's not as good as the other Jedis.

[Stuie]

Beef Canderous up for melee combat and give him Ajunta Pall's (sp?) blade. Nasty. After I did that, it was mostly Canderous and Juhani for me after the Leviathan. I'm not a fan of Jolee - he seems to drop a lot.

[Jagdtiger]

Jolee is alright if you pump him full of Will and keep him back from the action doing force waves or whatever. HK-47 fully upgraded(Yavin equipment, memory restored) is one bad mother. Plus you get the occasional remark like "You cannot kill the master. You may start running while I warm up my blasters."

[BustaMike]

Yep, HK-47 is ridiculous when he's powered up all the way. He can get the highest defense of anyone (34 I think) + he regens life automatically. I duped myself the Cassius Fett blaster and gave him 2 of those. He tanks like no one and can actually do good damage to everything except some jedi (because of blaster deflection).

Jolee is great as support. Give him max force valor (the one that ups stats and saving throws), max heal, and force wave, then set him to jedi support.

All other characters are strongest when set to pure melee with a double bladed weapon (cept the little droid of couse).

Canderous is the MAN!

I beat the game as a dark jedi (really fun causing chaos in the galaxy).

My party was Canderous with Juhanni. (of course I made her feel the power of the dark side... )

Carth BeLOWS and that droid thing too....not HK, I love him and his use of "meatbag".

Join the club

BTW how did the Sith get so many crews for the Infinite Fleet at the end?

[Dis]

Canderous is great. Although the first time I used him I didn't use him as a melee guy

He is the best melee non-jedi type. I'll take him over zaalbar.

this next time around I will also use Hk-47, as I'm playing darkside.

Although sometimes it is more interesting to have light siders when you play dark side. Some of the comments Carth makes when I do evil things are kind of funny. There are so many combos I'd like to try.

[BustaMike]

Diss... if you're playing darkside you should take Jolee. His comments on Kashyyyk are priceless.

[Dis]

I'll definately use him on that planet. That's the planet you find him on right? Some areas of the game it just kind of makes sense to use certain NPC's.

[BustaMike]

Yeah, that's where you find him. All I have to say is, make sure you don't help and then kill the crazy wookie

[Grumbold]

Playing it now....At last , a decent star wars game!

The figher minigame nearly made me give up until I read about the change brightness tip. Stealth fighters were owning me every time up to then

[Dis]

you may have had it at a high resolution. that also makes them harder to see. no prob for me as my computer can only handle 800 X 600

[Grumbold]

The res is fine now I've boosted the brightness, it just makes the rest of the game a little brighter than I prefer. Don't get me started on swoop racing though, I could rant all night about that being impossible at high res

My favorites, though I haven't played with it yet:

....Holding Shift when clicking Give Item or double-clicking the item to give will transfer the entire stack, without shift it moves the items one at a time

Now I can finally dump all the useless crap at the EH containers, one at a time was not getting it done. not sure however, if I can select more than one type of item at a time...

...Added the ability to see all available party members character, ability, and equip screens while on the Ebon Hawk or in the apartment.

great. I hate having to disembark just to see who is equipped with what. makes workbench work much easier.
