The tale of Kiora Celestia - a failed Jedi!

I recently embarked on what turned out to be my worst play-through to date. I thought I was good at this game but clearly not! I just wanted to share my failings here as the dog wasn't interested in listening, thanks in advance if anyone reads!

I decided on a high INT build (not the most optimal of ideas but I wanted to create a "jack of all trades" type of character. I chose Sentinel as it made sense and started with 18 INT which I know was a bad idea. I quickly realised it was a mistake when I was struggling to kill anyone at the beginning.

I planned on a DS run, I had the great idea of focusing on the light and becoming a Jedi Watchman, then quickly pivoting down the dark route. It started well, I triggered the scene for Visas to come find me, waited until we had our fight (which was much harder than it should have been) and assumed I was safe to turn to the dark side and boy was that a bad move. When I hit level 15 the conversation with Kreia didn't appear, so I waited... and then level 16 and it still wasn't there. Then a quick google showed me my mistake, so it was back down the light side until I got my Watchman name. (level 20 before I got it!)

I had planned to have Hanharr and HK-47 as my buddies for as long as I could. HK-47 was easy enough once I found all the parts, but as I was light sided now, I needed to wait for my wookie. So I did Dxun before Nar Shaddaa to give me enough time to be evil enough for the lovely Beast. But because of the previous mistakes, I either gambled and hope I got enough DS points in Nar Shaddaa or I did Korriban too and then that would mean not being able to use him much at all. I gambled...and nope, Mira! Bugger

As I was a female Character I couldn't even have Handmaiden. So up stepped Bao Dur.

Then to Korriban, and guess what happens - I am not far enough down the Dark side to enter the lovely extra cave....All planets are now done and that was the last opportunity, wonderful!

Another failing was with HK-47, I was doing all I could for him to love me, but by the time he went onto the HK factory he just didn't have enough influence, I was so hoping he could explain how to kill Jedi. I am pretty sure I needed to trigger influence just once more but damn! so close. (I did install the pacifist module and that was funny!)

And to top it off, once on Malachor, my useless character couldn't hold her own against the assassins and sith lords in the academy. I had used so many medpacs and in the end had to give up - she made it to the academy, just to be killed by a group of Dark Jedi apprentices and some sith troopers!

Thus ending the tale of Kiora Celestia, she should have just stayed away!
