Current Events > How viable is a neutral playthrough of KOTOR1?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Ive only ever done full light or full dark. But if heard neutral runs are good due to them being able to use both side powers as melee builds.

So how would one do that? Some morality choices have more weight than others.

Yeah, that game doesn't really allow for a neutral. You either save a woman's family or you eat her babies.

have fun donating 1000 credits to a homeless guy and then breaking an old lady's vase in front of her

Story wise your character will probably be pretty nonsensical.

If you want to use powers from both alignments you can play as a Consular. You have a lot of Force Points to play around with.

Doesn't a high charisma stat minimize the alignment penalty? Like, if a light side character used dark side powers, would charisma make it not as weak?

If so, just go high charisma and use any power you want.

Story-wise, I'm not sure what a neutral character would even look like. Even the neutral options tend to push towards light side iirc, so you'd have to be a straight up dick for no reason half the game.

That's classic bioware choice system.
