I have a bit of a dilemna here. I was about to go with my usual planet order (Tatooine, Kashyyyk, Manaan, and Korriban) when I just learned that Yuthara Ban shows up on Dantooine if you redeem her. Now I'm too curious not to follow through. However, that would require going to Korriban 1st or second, since Dantooine is destroyed after the 3rd Star Map is found.

This usually wouldn't really be a problem, however I still have yet to finish several subplots after 4 games. This includes Juhani's, whose plot stopped after she met the Mandalorian on Manaan who claimed to know something about her mother, the last time I played. She pretty much kept saying "DON'T TALK TO ME! I WILL HAVE REVENGE!" until the end of the game, since the Mando never appeared again.

I also need to have HK and Jolee join me early on, especially HK, since I'm finally developing my repair skill enough to unlock some of his memories before my character is revealed as Revan. And of course, I need Jolee before Manaan for obvious reasons.

As you can see, I have a problem. Basically, is there a way to switch up planet order to include Yuthara on Dantooine and every other subplot in the game?

And yes, this whole post has been confusing even for me. tongue

I've thought and thought and thought about it many times before whitey... theres just no perfect order to do the planets in. The game doesn't go in a certain order in which if you play straight through it, you can do EVERYTHING. The only way to do that is to go back and fourth between planets. For example, make it so the first thing you do after you get off Dantooine is that you go purchase HK, but then you just get back on the ship and leave, and finish Tatooine later.

Also, does Yuthura really show up on Dantooine? Why don't I know about this... oh yeah... I always kill both her and Uthar... hehe.... good times....

I suppose if you need HK and Jolee you can just pick them up at their respective planets and then come back for the Star Map later? Though that would be a pain.

According to wookiepedia, she does.

And I thought of the planet hopping, but I hate having to go through the planet arrivals over and over again. tongue

If all else fails, I have a game that I abandoned 14 hours through. I can just go to Korriban first on that game.

I have a pretty general question: what's the best way to beat Malak (final battle)? I beat him, but it wasn't so satisfying when I would run, through a grenade, advanced medpac, then keep running until he's down to almost zero health, then going and flurrying him to death. Any suggestions?

Yeah I found it annoying too. The whole time I was just spamming medpacks and stims because my character just wasn't strong enough. Eventually I do win though, so I guess Medpacks >>> Star Forge life drain

The way that feels more epic is to have Drain Force and/or Force Lightning and then run around and use those powers on the Jedi that are imprisoned. They are already dead, so don't worry about lightside or darkside stuff. Using Force Drain will of course regenerate you from the damage Malak unleashes. I would throw up Master Speed first then just run off to the nearest Jedi. You could hit Malak with a Force Push, it almost always works at first, then run off with Master Speed.
Just be careful and watch that Force Power Meter. Once you destroy all the Jedi Malak can no longer use them to power himself back up, and then you can tear him apart, though he is still rather tough. You may still need to run a bit and hit those medpacs but not nearly as much.

Oh yeah I picked Force Breach to take out the dead Jedi chambers. For some reason using it on them will regenerate your Force meter, so I guess it could be useful if you alternate between it and Life Drain if you put a point into that skill as well. The massive Force regeneration you get from Force Breach could help make up for a light side Jedi using Life Drain.

I played as a Consular, so I didn't have any useful battle techniques against him (I usually won every fight by stunning my opponents into oblivion, Bastila never got a chance to use her lightsaber, but I couldn't stun Malak).

So I ran away. Then I pushed him. Then I ran away. And it really ended like a playground brawl after a session of serious pushing. grin Somehow, I found this to be very satisfying... whistling

I actually didn't need any health packs or stuff like that, maybe condition enhancer to escape more quickly... I'd agree that destroy droid (or lightning, but I didn't have that) is most practical for taking out the captured Jedi, but lightsaber throw works just as fine. It only takes longer.

I think that the BEST way to beat Malak is strait head to head combat with Soldier\Jedi Guardian at least form my experience, i tried last time i played Soldier\Jedi Consular it was...... just wrong(at least for me) i ran and ran and ran... from malak, force powers not working, not much life points and force points for that matter but i beat him in 10 min(which is far to much for me and my Guardian happy )and after that i will never play as a consular(much to weak, in KOTOR2 the consular\Jedi Master\Sith Lord was the **** i had a lot of fun and he was very powerful)any way i think that the best way to finish the game is to have a good Gedi guardian.

The End!!! grin

I'm on tatooine and on the part where you disguise yourself as tusken raiders and walk in. It won't let me; now at first I thought it was just the ambushes, but now it atoumatically makes the tuskens an enemy. Any suggestions?

To the mannan question: Perhaps it is the graphics card. Which one are you using?

Did you buy HK? If I remember correctly, you have to have HK to translate for you otherwise they see through your disguise and attack you no matter what.
