Without spoiling, which playthrough is more interesting Male or Female?

[wongoli]

I played through this game once as a male and I'm interested in a replay since it's been YEARS since my first playthrough of the game.

well it depends but i think going with female is more interesting

I think girl is better IMO, but I do prefer Handmaiden as a companion over disciple, not that you have to use em, though. The Exile in canonically a girl so if you wanted a canon playthrough you would want to choose female. Both do have moments of gameplay that make more sense based on your gender.

is not the same?-.-

Is Disciple boring? That's what I really care about lol.

Disciple is underrated, he's not that bad. Handmaiden gets slightly better dialogue and the game shows more of the interactions with Atris. Disciple gets interactions with Kreia hinting at the nature of the Sith threat. At least they do with TSLRCM - which I recommend you use.

If you haven't played as a female character you should. Interestingly you get different dialogue from Darth Sion even.

I think the difference between light and dark playthroughs is greater than the difference between male and female characters. Try a different combination to your previous playthrough. Mix up your starting and prestige classes too.

Lore wise, the exile was a woman.

Not as intersting as Handmaiden imo, you also don't get the batte pregonition perk because only handmaiden can give you that. His class/jedi also ins't really optimal, he starts as a soldier and he become a jedi consular. Handmaiden becomes a gaurdian so it complements her original class better. I still reccomend Female on your next playthrough though, many other companions to use like HK-47(Which with TSLRCM you can get earlier)

Thanks for your input. It's hard for me to be evil in these games lol.

I used to think like that and only ever played light side when I originally had the game on disk. However Kotor 2 allows you to do interesting evil, not just be a jerk. When I play dark side I roleplay it as a necessary sacrifice to save the galaxy (sorry if that is a very minor spoiler) and limit myself to being evil to those who ask for it - and there are plenty of them.
