WARNING: SPOILERS FOR STAR WARS: KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC TO FOLLOW!

Okay, I'm a dude that's usually on the hippest edge of technology (And yes, I did just say "the hippest edge of technology," let's not dwell), but I'm also a man who's never too good for a little old-school, and I never forget my old game systems once I've moved onto a new one; I might have bought myself an X-Box 360 (A complete waste of money, by the way, which I'm pretty sure will do nothing but gather dust once I've grown bored with Mass Effect), but Knights of the Old Republic is still a major draw for me. So, I'm replaying KotOR, and its sequel, all over again.

Last night I beat KotOR again, killed Malak and saved the Republic all before dinner, and today I'm going to start KotOR II again. Now, here's where we get to the odd points; I've beaten KotOR II about a dozen times (At least), and am quite good at the game, but I've got no clue about the specific level-ups of the character classes. See, I bought KotOR II used and, even though it was supposed to have it, there was no instruction booklet with the game. The basic gameplay and whatnot was similar enough to the first that I had no serious issues, but there are enough minor differences to not perfectly translate. When you begin KotOR II you pick your Jedi class at the start of the game, and I'm not sure of the specifics of how each class levels up. Like I said, I've beaten the game repeatedly so I can usually compensate for this ignorance, but this time I'd like to actually know how to start the game. Does anybody know the specifics of levelling up?

What I mean by "the specifics of levelling up" is the speed and amount of advancement of each character class that you can pick. In KotOR, for example, Guardians get 10 vitality points, 4 force points, and slow skill/fast feat progression at each level-up. What's the ranges for KotOR II?

Official & Unofficial Support: If you have a problem with the game, the first thing you should do is read the Official Troubleshooting Guide which comes with KOTOR 2. This document is called Troubleshooting Guide.rtf and can found in your \Program Files\LucasArts\SWKotOR2\Docs\, along with an electronic copy of the game's manual (Manual.pdf)

Found this here (http://www.tweakguides.com/KOTOR2_3.html)

Look it up on Google, meatbag.

Sorry, I'm on X-Box, not PC, and this isn't a bug or troubleshooting issue, this is a lack of introductory information (I don't have the instruction booklet which tells me the stats of characters that you start with).

EDIT: And Benders little brother is the man!

SECONCD EDIT: And the second result in a Google search gives me the answer. You'd think after 15 years on-line I'd have learned to take the easy steps first, then go to the forums.

You can probably find everything you seek and more over at BioWare's forum; whenever there was something about one of their games I wanted to know, I could always find threads that go into ridiculous detail. Use the Search, Klonor!

Obsidian made KotoR 2.

I'm waiting for the Team-Gizka patch, personally. But I'm on PC.

Heathen! You can't ruin HK-47 like that... it's like turning Hulk Hogan into a Victoria Secret model. It's just wrong!

Thanks. Now I must rinse my imagination lobe in bleach. :(

Even bleach can't get that out.

My main problem with KotOR II was that bastard section where Atton has to fight the two sisters with swords and all that pish in the club. Apparently this is made easier by lacing the entire place with mines the first time you go there, but seeing as I lacked the psychic powers necessary to know this, I simply stopped playing after trying upwards of fifty times to beat it. Not on in the slightest.

If you quicksave and immediately quickload and pause after your turn, your opponent loses their turn ;)

... aye 20 quicksaves and quickloads until they both expire... such a top solution...

I wish they'd have got the difficulty curve sorted out. It's either far too easy or extremely difficult, with almost no middle ground.

Run behind the bar counter and shoot them. Problem solved.

Bug abuse also extremely ghey tbqh. It's a real shame when you can't win fights fairly in the first couple of goes and have to exploit bugs, or prep for it by having already won the game and known what to do.

Yeah, no arguments here.
