They all work. It's really up to you.
I myself prefer a single, regular lightsaber with a few crystals that up attack power.
I give Bastila a double-bladed one (double-bladed have stronger attacking power). I haven't really dual-wielded yet, though I understand you can try using a short lightsaber in the off-hand and a regular one in the active.

In the end, it's your choice, and any will do.
Just choose your favorite.

Well, single lightsaber sucks, anything else is great

Two lightsabers are probably the way to go though, because you have room for more crystals.

Well, people really worked out the mechanics it seems! I prefer double-bladed lighsabers myself, for the coolness and damage!

Naaah, The BEST way is using 2 regular lightsabers. 1 more attack, more crystals, etc. You must have skills with 2 weapon fighting, of course. But it still is WAY better than Dueling.

in kotor I, not the sith lords, due to a bug in the xbox version, you get the same to hit numbers as if you maxed out two handed fighting with any double bladed weapon...including double bladed lightsabers, without any of the two handed feats...

but having two sabers and maxing out two handed fighting feats is still worth while due to the ability to use mutiple crystals later in the game...

In KotOR II, wielding two lightsabers is advantageous mainly because you can fit your lightsaber with a keen lens instead of using the one of the two slots for a keen crystal.
This allows you an extra crystal slot to fit another crystal which you couldn't do in KotOR I *cough*Massive Critals*cough*, which means you can put a much stronger punch with Master Critical Strike than you can with Master Flurry.

Try a master power attack with two sabers...

make a consular weapon master, max out two weapon and power attack, weapon specialization lightsabre and strength attributes...

improved beam gem, your charname crystal, opila (massive criticals), improved beam gem, master fencing emitter, and ultimate ditanium cell on mainhand lightsaber. (and the lightsabre form that increases the critical hit multiplier)

now, this is where things get really fun...static variables, like strength damage bonus, and jedi weapon master bonus damage will multiply per critical hit...and the bonus damage granted by master power attack...

on a roll of 17-20, you get a critical hit with master power attack (threat range of one handed lightsaber with improved beam gem) and i've gotten over 250 damage PER HIT...



(yes, i have way too much time on my hands sometimes...)

I tend to avoid the Power Attack feat tree in favor of the Critical Strike feat tree due to the -3 penalty to hit for Power Attack. (As I said before, high damage potential is pointless if you have low hit ratio. )
Then again, I tend to follow the Sentinel/Watchman or Sentinel/Sith Assassin path (Mainly for that "first strike kill" with Master Critical Strike ) so there are too few feats to offset the To Hit penalty.

On the other hand, your lightsaber is very well built!
Might have to play KotOR II again just to try saber with increased critical multiplier.

try sentinel weapon master...you will find the "increased melee damage" innate feat will vastly improve critical strike attacks, since it is a constant bonus and WILL MULTIPLY on a successful critical hit. now the sneak attack bonus(sith assassin) does add enough damage to equal the bonus of a multiplied increased melee damage, but its close...(sentinel weapon master will beat a sentinel watchman in total damage)...i tend to build my consular weapon masters with max critical hit and max power attack, using both as the situation calls for...both will take down just about any enemy in one round with master speed in effect..

i understand the interest in skill points, but i find that using the dragon cave exploit, and base 16 intelligence with upgrade to 18 in the first eight levels give me all the skill points i need to max out all my skills by the time i leave korriban...
