"Quentin Beck"? Fuck, I forgot about having deleted cookies.

Anyway, yeah, that approach is exactly what made KOTOR 1 so easy for me. Hell, you know you're going to play as a Jedi, so what other approach would you take other than to beef up your lightsaber skills? Which, in turn, logically means you want to start off with good melee ability? I was a bit mystified to find out that increasing your strength increases your chance to hit with a lightsaber - aren't those weightless? Why would strength increase your proficiency with them? Anyway, that still inadvertently worked according to plan, since I started off with high strength to beef up my melee ability.

By the time I got to the Wookie world (which I did last of the four Star Map worlds), I had all the force powers and feats I needed to make the game a cakewalk. I auto-levelled up after that, aside from making sure to boost my strength whenever I got a chance.

In the final battle, where you're isolated against the boss, I think I had to heal maybe once, if that. The rest of the time was spent with Knight Speed -> Master Flurry -> Master Flurry (repeat until dude retreats), catch up with him and lather/rinse/repeat until he drops dead. This was while using a double-lightsaber with the bets gems I had found. Five or six hits per round for an average of 40HP damage each? Yeah, that was kind of a one-sided slaughter.

Even better, Destroy Droid fucking wiped out all those droids with impunity, at almost no Force Power cost. In the one room where the generators churn out infinite droids, I think I gained one level solely from destroying horde after horde of droids. It took me maybe twenty minutes before I noticed the computers there.

I really don't know why they didn't just make the Star Forge one long cutscene instead of making me stroll through huge corridors for thirty minutes massacring everything in my path.
