STUCK :(
 

I've been dying to go farther into this game, but this baffles me, I might be stupid but I can't open that damn gate to get outside of the underground village in the first planet you're in and i can't get that guard to open that gate to let me through and those ratghul(can't spell their names) animals kill me easily.

Help!

PS: I just want a lightsaber, hehe. I'm really enjoying this game but this is frustrating, is there anymore confusing parts later in the game?

Thanks

To get the gate open you need to speak to the gate guard. As for the Rakghouls, you should probably earn some more experience in the upper levels before venturing below.

Or you could use cheats to boost your stats.

Mod note: off-topic posts pruned

Do all the upper city and lower city quests (many of which you pick up in the apartments and cantinas) before you tackle the undercity. Talk to everyone you possibly can to get more side quests--not only are some of the conversations funny (like the Twi'lek in one of the cantinas talking about his lekku), but side quests give you xp and loot for leveling and upgrades. Make sure you've upgraded both your armor and Carth's, along with your weapons, before venturing out there, and have a few grenades and such.

Isn't that one in TSL?

Yeah i think so. He's in the onderon cantina

To get a lightsaber, you'll have to leave the planet ( Taris ). Don't worry. It won't be very hard. Anyway, the advice is to check the plot in your journal ( what you have to do to move on ). Finally, you should use cheats. Here's how :(very very usefull)
