How are you supposed to build your character in this game? I put all my points into persuasion and now I’m stuck at the fight with the admiral on the bridge, I think I’m going to have to turn cheats on.

Same thing happened to me, create a save just before the fight and keep going at it if you are lucky you will kill him. After that I would recommend getting xp because fights will only get harder after that.

Even if you've got a good build you can still get fucked over if your RNG goes bad or your AI companions get stuck or something. The combat barely works on a good day and should not be why you're playing.

you can cheese in the game by saving after every hit you make until you die, then load the latest save you made and your character will make another attack, continue saving, as you will likely die after the attack. repeat until you have beaten the enemy.

>Combat oriented RPG
>put everything into persuasion
gee I wonder why there would be an issue? What are your stats and what skills do you have?

Are you a literal child? This is a children's RPG and you're having problems with it?

>How are you supposed to build your character in this game?
Putting points into persuasion is fine. The problem would be if you put all your points into charisma. Take a picture of your character sheet and post it so we can help.

use medpacs from the inventory screen instead of actually in combat.

spam grenades if you have them.

Not that I want to bring up the Kotor 1 vs 2 discussion again, but even when I played poorly in 1 nothing was as difficult as the Twi'lek twins fight Atton has to do in 2 if you've kept him underleveled so he gets more prestige class levels. The only way I beat it was cheesing it by going behind the bar where their AI bugs out and can't follow you so I could just keep shooting them.

I don’t know how you screw up a build in either KOTOR game. Even on non optimal runs I’ve never had an issue with combat. Late early to mid game you should be easily decimating everything.

So why is a Selkath on the cover when they're only around for one planet and you don't get one as a party member? At least in Malak's case he's on the cover because he's the game's villain.

you can heal in the item menu during battle without losing a turn

They were a new species made up just for this game so Bioware wanted to show one off to make Star Wars fans go "woah, I've never seen that alien before!" It's all marketing, and fairly good marketing too.

Taris and Dantooine can be hard when you skilled wrong, but everything after that is easy.

persuasion is not taken at the expense of combat

The skills don't mean shit for combat, what are you talking about? Demolition is worthless, it only decides how good you are at disarming and arming mines, treat injury just gives you more points healed per used medkit, which characters can only use on themselves.

You shouldn't worry much about skills, persuasion is good for the player character since he's the only character where persuasion checks are relevant.

Someone post the screenshot of the dumb fuck who got to the final boss of fallout2 with skills in just banter and doctor

for real? i wished i had known that earlier.

Combat is broken in this game, get the force power that lets you go faster and cast it during fights so you have more attack opportunities, you'll be dishing out tons of damage in no time.

Use items which boost your stats

pic? I dont remember this at all

>taris can be hard
especially if you don't know that you don't have to fight the rancor.

My current run of KOTOR2 with a pure CON build is pretty shit. I brought that upon myself though.

this but cast right before a fight instead

just use stims and shields.

Cuz they're fuckin' badass sounding.

>The skills don't mean shit for combat
By skills I meant feats, it's been a while since I played. I assume by OP stating they went all in on persuasion they dumped everything into CHA, bought non-combat feats, and put all skill points into persuasion. Treat injury is also useful for combat in general.

persuasion is almost useless after you become a jedi.

hopefully you have 1-2 characters with force stunning abilities. Just chain CC everything and kill them.
