Alright, let's talk about Carth and how your choices start shaping things up in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. You'll have a chat with him, and he'll open up a bit about his past, mentioning he's a veteran of the Mandalorian Wars. He'll also touch on how his home world, Telos, was hit hard by Malak's fleet. Don't push too hard if he clams up; he'll steer the conversation back to the mission.

After that, it's time to head out. You'll walk to the door, and the game will give you a heads-up before you and Carth step outside your apartment. Get ready, because as soon as you're out, you're ambushed by some Sith goons. Honestly, these guys are a pushover. You'll meet a Duros who's fighting alongside you. Don't worry about what you say to him, even if it sounds a bit aggressive; he's just going to move the bodies to throw off the Sith. Weird plan, right?

Leveling Up Strategy Note: After this fight, you'll be able to level up. Some players like to save their levels until they become a Jedi Padawan and can use Force powers. This means you'll have a weaker character early on but a much stronger one later. I'll cover some strategies for those of you who want to save levels, especially for tougher fights.

General Strategies for Saving Levels:

• Let your character die sometimes to save your medpacks.
• Have a different party member lead the group so enemies target them instead of you.
• Take advantage of free healing spots like the rapid transit system and medical facilities.

There are a couple of downsides to this strategy. First, there's a bug with how experience points (XP) are calculated for party members. They'll usually end up one or two levels lower than they normally would be. This bug usually fixes itself by the end of the game when you hit the level 20 cap. The other drawback is that you won't get any free feats from your starting class (Scout, Soldier, or Scoundrel) since you won't be leveling up in those classes initially.
