Alright, going to finally play this classic. Which class/build should I go with? I'll likely only have time to play it once. Is Light or Dark side more fun/fitting?

Just be yourself
just play the fricking game, god i hate zoomers
Dark Side is zero fun. You can't just be selfish and power-hungry you have to go full moron puppy kicker.
It's very clunky and archaic. It was good at the time, but not so much now.
Literal brainrot post
I enjoy the soldier guardian build for tons of perks, jumping around and sheer damage output.
Consular with as few levels taken in scout as possible is best for CC and zapping mothafrickas. Getting through Taris at level 2 on a first playthrough is pretty rough though.
Scoundrel sentinel only if you're gay.
Scoundrel/Consular or Sentinel/Consular. Youre a fricking Jedi so DONT choose Guardian, the entire point is to use the force.
*Scout/Consular Sentinel and Guardian are shit unless you like having a small number of under ranked force powers that fail half their DC checks.
>Youre a fricking Jedi so choose Guardian, the entire point is to use lightsabers.
FTFY
Force lightning the shit out of everything
>Force lightning
Badass
It's my favorite way to play the kotor games. Dark side force specialist.
one thing I hate about this game is how much ranged builds suck.
Kotor 2 made them more than viable.
I remember seeing a webm. of an anon who meta'd a range build down to a T. Was able to kill Malek in 1.5 seconds and skip all his phases. So its do-able if you want to open some goddamn spreadsheets.
Sentinel
I like doing a darkside force user run where I only wield one lightsaber but barely ever even use it and just spam force lightning and shit.
if you dont want to figure anything out there are thousands of guides online for this. LS/DS is all preference, but DS answers are typically cartoon villain tier absurd. you get a bonus for being fully alligned to one side or the other, and each bonus will benefit some play styles more than others.
LS all the way, although DS can be pretty hilarious too.
As for the class, Scout 5/Consular 15 is one of the most versatile builds, and Scoundrel 5/Guardian 15 might be the most OP build available in K1.
Pursuade is literally the only skill worth leveling up in the first game; if you want to complete the HK-47 sub-quest pay a few points in Repair and then use Repair buffing gear.
OP I'm going to play again on the highest difficulty as a femboy challenge run just because you mentioned this
This game was tight as frick I failed college classes playing this game and missing class
Dark is really stupid and full of plot holes, play as Lightsider
i prefer kotor2 but the first one is great too!
have fun.
darkside is lolevil. light side is more enjoyable to me.
not OP but can going high str and high con be fine as a single-style lightsaber character?
I see everyone suggesting to put dex into it instead online but I don't particularly want that
It's not a hard game, that will do just fine.
Dex works pretty much the same way as Str for lightsaber combat.
Dex gives you AC as well as upping your hit chance with lightsabers, so it's generally better. Str gives you hit chance and damage, but the damage boost isn't as big of a deal as increased AC. Also only the highest of str or dex is used for your hit chance, so you don't really want to mix between the two.
You could go str and then wear heavier armour rather than robes, but that will lock you out of most of the best force powers. Or you could just go robes with low dex anyway, the game isn't very hard, it just probably wouldn't be optimal.
Jedi Consular/sith lord/Jedi master is fun. I liked freezing people and using force lightning as they came out of it.
The most memorable thing about this game for me is starting the game as a goody two shoes like i always played video games and then have the game organically and naturally corrupt me to the dark side by the end by offering me things i wanted in return. That was infinitely cooler than if i had some arbitrary character trope or alignment i had to play along with. It also awakened my corruption fetish
Dark side is both more fun and has a far better ending. Ignore the morons in this thread, you don't have to go full puppy-kicker to go darkside but sometimes you may want to, because a lot of those choices are hilarious.
Pick up force persuade (and upgrades) to unlock all the best dialogue options. If you go darkside or even just neutral force lightning and force choke (and their upgrades) will deal with every single combat in the game.
