The whole influence thing right? Yeh, I missed out on a lot of info in my game and I ended up finishing wondering "ok, so what just happened and how is this related to K1". Well, probably not that extreme, but there were a lot of plot holes which I never filled due to low influence, and more annoying, low influence with all the members who had info of the past (HK, Mandalore, Kreia, T3...). I think it might be deliberate to force players to replaying with all the different combos. Replaying in K1 was mainly about exploring dialog and outcomes, where as in this, it's now almost a necessity to play the other combos to get the full picture. (or just an unseen side-effect of having influence)

I agree, but remember the small things add up.

Would you read the text even if you knew you were spoiling it for yourself? The spoiler tagged text is the black block of text which you read by highlighting it.

Do you mean as a useful character? I found him very useful. Very good attack bonus and that critical hit bonus damage thingy feat (is it the Assassination protocol feat?). Anyway, he was was very good as ranged support.

Is there a full solution to this crime or is it just "he's off the hook, screw the case"?

I would've told you originally but I couldn't remember. Anyway, I looked it up and I've found it: \StreamVoice\298\ I got all this info from another thread, and some of the voices are based on answers which you ask (playing as HK-47), so you'll have to work out the question based on the answers you hear. I think only one of folders involves the conversation between HK-47 and thte 50s, but the bits where they talk about you in the facility are entertaining...classic HK talk.

I haven't read anything about Malachor V being shortened - I'm not saying I don't believe, I just haven't looked at everything that was cut or changed cos there's so much. As for the droid factory/Telos sealed sub-level, have you listened to the files where HK-47 is inside the droid factory and the HK-50s are commentating on his progress? That might clear up some your questions.

One of the sticking points in this game which kinda confused people at the end was the whole thing about Kreia trying to "kill" the Force using the Force Void within, or something like that. Also the Jedi Masters had said you also were forming dominating force bonds to everyone around you without a deep connection first. However none of it was actually proved, as there are possiblities to counter the evidence supporting the whole force bonds and force wound thing. (note: this is about the deep controlling force bonds, not the KotOR 1 or Master/Student types). Some examples: Kreia was linked to you, pain and powers: Well she is the betrayer, and could have faked the bond by channeling the pain (and powers) like she does her voice or like she did to threaten Atton...you get the idea. Players around you are influenced by you: Well, I suppose the game makes the point that your actions influence others, but that doesn't have to be the bond. A lot of the characters give their reasons why they follow you (and you bluntly ask Visas this). Besides, the fact that disagreements and stuff reduce influence sorta support this. Visas around the dying Miraluka: If the wound is caused by mass death then well, Visas didn't seem affected when Nihilus paid a visit. And there was nothing to show that there was a wound in the force. You feel like a normal developing Jedi through the whole game. Not to mention the fact that nothing seems to be established at the end of the game (it seems to ignore this whole thing and focuses on the True Sith). Everyone will have their take on the whole thing, but I suppose the main thing is do you believe the Force Wounds and Insta-Force Bonds (and you don't know it)? (or alternatively, if there's arguments both ways, do you think it all sounds phoney-baloney (sp? ), farfetched, unStar Wars, etc...) For me, I don't think the force wound thing exists. (you might wanna trim this if you're gonna quote it)

A very common thing around here unfortunetly

I hope this isn't true, but if pure luck (independent of your stats or quests) is involved with some of the items, well, that's a pretty lame way to add to the replay value,

In trying to get some info for another thread (FYI, the "What is Keen" General thread), I ended up playing a save game which was the second fight against Atris. In that game, I decided to kill her and just afterwards, Kreia does her force voice-over and says that she would've been Darth Traya, but since she has failed due to her weakness (ie, she was defeated), it was a "guess I'll have to be it" type of thing. If you spare her and thus she self-exiles, you do not get this voice-over- as far as I remember from what I did the first time around. So yes, ultimately the "cookie crumbled" so that Atris was never Darth Traya but the concept of her assuming that identity was there.

In other words, NO, you can't win the races without dealing with the droid (eventually).

Most of the mod talk I know of goes on here: http://www.lucasforums.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=324 probably more useful requesting it there

I think the easiest thing to do is simply look at the threat range on the weapon description after add the keen upgrade to it. I'm pretty sure get the whole idea of what criticals are stuff now cos of all the replies so far, but in the end, the best way is to play around with the configs and see which gives the widest critical threat range. btw, a good example of using a weaker keen weapon is with HK-47. If he scores a critical hit he does a lot of extra damage from his assassination feat or something like that. He also had a huge attack bonus from dex and that organic targetting component, although just remember attack bonus has nothing to do with scoring a critical (besides from hitting the target in the first place) - I think. My attempt at sorting out the Critical feats and Keen: I think this is what my HK-47 had: Disrupter Rifle Un-upgraded base = 18-20 (3/20 chance) then scope for keen = 15-20 (6/20 chance, or 2x3/20) Master Sniper shot = 6-20 (15/20 chance (w00t) ) 6-20 is 5 times more than the original 18-20 base. 15-20 was in the weapon stats window and the 6-20 came from the dialog feedback. 15 chances breakdown: base > 3 chances feat > 4 x original base = 12 (this "REPLACES" the base) scope > +3 (well, +original base) Depending on what you find easier to understand or work out, it's: 4x (feat) + [2x - 1] (keen) = 5x when you use the D20 multiplier thingy in above posts. Similar would apply for Critical Strike. Sorta makes sense when you consider that if the feat multiplied the upgraded stat, I would have 24/20 (wha?) chances to get critical, or in other words, critical every attack except on a 1 (automatic miss). if anyone's gonna quote this, trim it first...

I don't know anything about the Sith people outside of the movies, like Exar Kun and stuff. So I'd say Sidious as the most powerful Force user, but Anakin/Vader would be the best overall cos he's got good force and saber skills. Yoda is also that but there's not really enough info to tell.

Yeh, I can see how that works. I was under the impression though that it was the other way around, where Carth had learnt about the Exile from the information Atris was putting out, and had sent the Harbinger in to bring you in discretely (sp?).

Well Bronze seems to be the rarest, but I don't think I ever found that. Of the ones that I did find, there were heaps which I only found one of, so they were the rarest in my list: Silver, Cyan, Viridian (sp?), Violet, Green, Yellow Yes, a lot of basic colours there...but can't get rarer than 1!

Atris admits to having all the Jedi advertisement and bounty stuff which follows you all over the game, but I guess one question is why you? Well, I can understand that she feels you're dispensable (sp?), but how did she know you weren't already assassinated? or why not use say Bastila instead? (I don't think she'd use one of the Jedi Masters though)

That would be very interesting to see, although as a slight tweak, I wouldn't make a neutral character have grey buttons.

Atris was never a Sith Lord. She was going to be the Darth Traya at Malachor instead of Kreia but that was changed/cut. Have a look at the post which shows her un-used (and seemingly untweaked) DS Model.

My swoop racing was bugged because of the forfeit bug; , so I could never really check this. Can you win the Nar Shaddaa races without sabotaging the droid, or will it always beat your time?

the whole fading thing is something they'll probably explain in Episode III

Or just add beer... from to after chugging some down

I was all confused with the components and chemicals thing when I first saw them. In the end I treated them like credits - save them up (ignore them) unless you need an item urgently, and then go on a spending/breakdown/creation spree.
