   ii.  Creating your Exile                           :IICYE:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  The "Exile" is your character, in addition to whatever you name him/her.

  There are 3 main "classes" you can take, each with a male/female option.
  Jedi Sentinel makes for a good solid choice, good offense, lots of skills
  and lots of feats and average power selection. Jedi Guardian gets more
  vitality, but less skills and one more feat, while Jedi Consulars get only
  Force Powers in any great amount. Now, for more details...

Male/Female:

  In many games, this is largely an aesthetic choice. What would you rather 
  look at for a few dozen hours. However, in KoTOR2, there is one major effect 
  of this choice, the difference in whether you can pick up the Handmaiden
  character or the Disciple character. If you are a male, you get Handmaiden,
  if you are female you get Disciple. There is no other particular change,
  besides who flirts with you, and Kreia's reactions to you, however.

    Note:  There is one more companion option like this, but unlike this one,
           you can affect who you get after you start. You get Mira if you are
           Light/Neutral and Hanharr if you are Dark Side.
