Sometimes a game can reward you for flying under the radar of level caps, and sometimes, as in the case of the outstanding KOTOR 1 and 2, you can utterly cheese the system by still levelling up but being very selective as to when and where you do so in order to reap huge rewards.

As we all know, both titles allow the player to walk the path of The Force, for either Light or Dark, and infuse their very being with all manner of amazing powers, however this doesn't happen right away, and until that point players will be slogging it out in the trenches with blasters and blades like regular chumps.

As battling with such restraining features can feel like a chore, players might look to grind out levels in order to give them a bit more bite, however, they might actually be served better by choosing to resist popping a few levels in the early game.

Both titles actually allow the player to "stack" their level-ups, meaning that they can pass requirements but simply not choose to indulge, and by holding on to these levels until the game affords them the path of the Sith or Jedi, can see gamers get access to the best abilities with little to no effort at all.

Upon choosing a Force class, the player can pop all the saved up levels and then experience the bonuses of late levels instantly, making the rest of the game a virtual playground of ultimate power!
