Yeah, he's a funny old coot which is why I decided to stick him in the party. My plan is to finish this, run KOTOR 2, then do a Dark Side run again through both games a but later in the year.
Yeah, I've certainly not power-built so fingers crossed it'll provide a good challenge.
Dunno, I played both games within the last three or four years and neither had particularly strong plots or villain writing. BG II improved a bit in ToB, but most of the base game was just running around doing a billion quests that didn't relate to anything wider. About the only two things that BG II had that were objectively better writing-wise were the flavor of responses your PC could make in dialog, they were generally more clever and smarmy, and the amount of companion dialogue, however even that tended to surface at wildly inappropriate times. As for the quests themselves there are a handful that I can remember, Firkraag, the Planar Sphere, De'Arnise Keep but none because of writing quality. Even BG1 was better in that department. The moral dilemmas in BG2 were also severely lacking, very easy to track which was the good/evil choice. KotOR 1 at least had a few quests that weren't as clear such as Sunry on Manaan, who to betray on Korriban, the Lost Droid on Dantooine, the Hero Slaver on Kashyyyk etc.
BG2 had a lot of content.
Which planets have you visited?
Nah, they're all Malak's creatures.Yuthura, obviously, and make the Sith Academy loyal to you as the returning Dark Lord
Oh please. Uthar and definitely Jorak predate Malak AND Revan.
I think Uthar got yeeted away by Revan when he took control of the Academy after he returned from the Unknown Regions with Malak, right?
Firstly, honour is not often a Sith trait. All chains are to be discarded.
The Academy was integrated into Revan's forces when he returned from the Unknown Regions, but just how much he interefered with its administration is not clear. I think they left Jorak in charge, whom then was ousted by Uthar. They didn't care, as long as the Academy continued to provide Sith adepts.
They're the epitome of middle-management climbers that always seem to fall on their feet from regime to regime. They had their time in the sun, but now the Empire is moving in a different direction. The Dark Lord needs young, hip (preferably female) fanatics that dream of working for no one else!

BG2 has a lot of good quests, but I've never felt like it was particularly strong in a roleplaying sense. The companions were good, though. Mostly. The ones Beamdog added were all dogshit, in classic Beamdog fashion. I only ever play the Beamdog version if I'm using my PS4, since that's the only option available.
Very good order. Korriban works best as the last planet of the four.Tatooine, Kashyyyk and I'm now on Manaan, just entered the Sith base.

Did any of you guys try it as your first planet?Very good order. Korriban works best as the last planet of the four.Tatooine, Kashyyyk and I'm now on Manaan, just entered the Sith base.

You can’t use Bastila on Korriban too.
I prefer going there before Manaan. It's the planet that makes the most sense to be intercepted by the Leviathan upon leaving, among other reasons. If you're on the DS, it's the perfect place to begin breaking Bastila. Even on the LS, the planet has many scenarios that allow her doubts to slip out. Her fall is foreshadowed better in both cases.
