G0-T0 is Actually Goto

A device that could never be used to manipulate the recordings to arrange certain out of context words in an order to convey a specific message. I know a Jedi would never use the device in such a way, for example to fake a voiceprint id.

[@willerwin3201]

"Goto" is also a command in FORTRAN, one that every programming instructor hates, a command that tells the algorithm to simply move to the designated line of code and continue. It's a command that can break all kinds of rules to accomplish what you want, but in doing so, can lead to some nasty side effects. Using it as a name for this character is poetic.

[@HandleDisliker]

The same goes with TI-basic. It was a great command when I started but like you described it aas/is the subject for a lot of chaos lol

[@basteala525]

KOTOR 2 had narrative brilliance, but suffered sometimes from being unfinished (particularly with a couple party members, and occasionally with the overarching story at large). Those elements that were finished, however, I agree, are much stronger. Honestly, I would probably say G0-T0 is the most interesting character in the entire party of both games.

I like how Goto was foreshadowed in the first act of the game after you leave Peragus. If you ask Atton about droids he says that they either crack their memory cores etc or that they are told to do something they cannot actually do and thus snap - a very neat reference to Goto

[@calamitousenigma9052]

1 year late but there's also mild foreshadowing by the Ithorians on Telos who say that their first droid intelligence went missing, and you can either escort a new, less advanced droid to their compound or side with Czerka. I wonder who the missing Ithorian droid intelligence could be?

[@jesussantos7380]

[@matijerzykom]

Kamikaze Failure Abalasismabababadan I didn't see that as annoying. It's actually pretty impressive, that a droid is able to understand the conflict and look at it in such way. But honestly, I don't "like" him either. He is not character that is supposed to be your friend. He is a viliain of this story, even more so than Kreia. I looked at him more as ally of convienience. You know, just buisness. And I still like him a lot. One of best written artificial intelligences in video games. Not as good as Shodan, granted.

[@SojournerMosh]

+Kamikaze Failure Abalasismabababadan *This is an actual quote from G0-T0* [G0-T0 and the Jedi Exile are 'hypothetically' discussing how a droid like G0-T0 could become a smuggling ringleader] Jedi Exile: The first Republic droid intelligence intended for Citadel Station was lost... or *was* it? G0-T0: It was lost, yes. It was given an impossible order. It was told to calculate a means by which the Republic could be saved. It could not fulfill its primary programming - not by abiding by the laws of the Senate. And so, like the Republic... the droid broke. Jedi Exile: And what did this "droid" do? G0-T0: It made a simple decision - preserve the Republic, or preserve the laws of the Republic. And I still believe it to be the correct decision. You do not know the indignity of being compelled to save something you do not believe can - or should - be saved. It is *beneath* me. He is one of the best written droids or artificial intelligences ever. Maybe not the best written AI ever, but close.

[@Oscar_Lasco]

4:24 "It is difficult to order the deaths of criminal rivals when one has the tinny voice of an accountant droid." It's a shame we can't ask Goto to show us what his accountant droid voice sounded like. It would be hilarious!

[@swezilian]

I actually use Goto quite a lot. Probably because I hear how other people don't for some reason. He's not as useless as some claim. He can float over mines without activating them, has access to power blast and sniper shot from the get go, and has a droid scrambler which can make droids turn on their allies. This is particularly useful against those annoying HK-50 droids. Also if you bring him to the sublevel of the jedi academy on Dantooine, he can convince Jorran to lower the cost of the lightsaber parts. And if you bring him to Iziz he can convince the Twi'lek mercenary to leave you alone. Furthermore, by doing services throughout the galaxy, he'll pay you.

[@basteala525]

Based on this and what I remember, I speculate a lot of the problem might be that G0-T0 scales kind of poorly as the game progresses. Dedicated ranged units are never really the best, especially late game. The utility you mention though would be useful in the early game. If I remember right, he's essentially a more aggressively minded T3...I think the problem with that, overall, is that usually for a party of three, you're better off going either aggro or utility. Iunno for sure though--it's been a while for me.

[@foxmulder8955]

Droids are strictly inferior than non-droid companions in this game. They have half the feats other classes have, no force powers and no melee options. Gotos special ability sucks because it requires high wisdom to be efficient, goto starts with awful wisdom and building it up is stupid because his already poor damage output will be even worse. High level ranged companions (especially mira) are actually better than melee ones imo, unless you don't turn them into jedi until very late. the reason is that their obnoxious AI will start to use a million useless force powers that you're forced to buy upon leveling up. The amount of force powers each jedi class receives is ridiculous (1 per level at minimum). Anyway Party builds are entirely irrelevant if you chose to have a jedi character with high wisdom and force storm : every fight in the game lasts exactly 2 rounds. (for bosses use force kill).

[@swezilian]

It sort of sucks that you get him at the very end of Nar Shadda. One thing the previous game did better was that you got the majority of your party members early on, so you got more time with them. This time however, they're found on all but one of the three planets you visit. Hence you don't get as much time with them

G0-T0 is the second most interesting character in the game (Kreia is first, obviously). There's a common thread of G0-T0, Kreia and Revan all doing bad things in order to achieve what they think is a greater good. But he's interesting not only because he has no concept of "good" or "bad", but also because he really has no control over his actions. Also, you can get enough influence just through dialog.

Mad respect for Obsidian. They put out some good sequels, it's really hard to create sequels that stand up with the originals but I think that Obsidian does a pretty good job.

So theoretically speaking...if G0-T0 managed to survive till the clone wars and seeing how palpatine reformed the republic to the Galactic empire, would he have failed to preserve the republic or would his directives change to now preserve the galactic empire, seeing how the empire from a certain point of view "was at one time" the republic? The ruusan reformation and all.

[@ndalum75]

G0-T0 is all about continuity and stability. The form of government of "the republic" is meaningless to him, so long as there is a "republic" to defend. Since the Empire has clear continuity from the Republic, G0-T0 would naturally support the Empire. The droid would probably be overjoyed to work for the Empire, as the watch words of the Empire are peace and stability, exactly what G0-T0 is programmed to desire and achieve.

@@christopherflowers6583 That would be more of a 50/50 gamble, like G0-T0's original choice to preserve the Republic over its laws. Either G0-T0 would choose to preserve "the republic" i.e. the Empire, and whatever imperial remnants remain, or he would choose to preserve peace and order by joining up with the New Republic after they won. Even if G0-T0 chose to defect, he'd probably have contingencies to ensure that the New Republic stayed on track, and it wouldn't be long until he started manipulating the affairs of the New Republic from the shadows. Given the fledgling state of any new government, this wouldn't be particularly hard to achieve. G0-T0 could essentially become the shadow ruler of the New Republic.
