So what you're saying is if I lost enough influence with Disciple, I'd still be able to turn him? Interesting... It never really crossed my mind, to be quite honest. He annoyed me with those comments, so I just left him on the ship after that. Oh well. The odds I'll play again as DS are pretty slim. I'm such a light-sider, it's actually a little sad.

Can you really say that? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Can I really say what?

You know, this is exactly what I've been saying for years... :D But then again, I'm lucky, because it would seem that guys like girl geeks. Mind you, it may have something to do with the fact that there are so few of us.

When you're converting Atton (LS), he asks "Is there some kind of ritual...?" ...With DS he asks "Is there someone I should kill?" Mind you, I did manage to see that "is there someone I should kill" thing once even though both Atton and the Exile were LS... I think it's just a matter of pushing the right buttons, so to speak. If you convince Atton that Jedi lie and that she was probably just manipulating him, that's what you get. As far as Disciple is concerned, I never managed to convert him when I played DS. I'd lose influence just by talking to him. "Wow, you look like crap. The DS has a hold on you." [influence Lost: Disciple] I did manage to regain *some* of the lost influence, but it wasn't enough.

Wow, you buy games strictly for the ending? That's a little sad... I mean, yeah, like most people I was a bit disappointed by the ending or lack thereof, but who care? It's still an f-ing great game! I finished the game twice on my bf's Xbox, and I still went out and bought it for my PC (OK, so that was mostly so he could get off my case about hogging his Xbox, but even so!).

I never made it a big secret that I was in love with Atton from the moment he made comments about the Exile being in her underwear. He's a great character, has some great lines, and I found it really interesting to find out about his past. Not to mention that he's HAWT. Especially in Jedi robes. Disciple, I wish I could say I liked him from the get-go. I actually rather disliked him at first and wouldn't have anything to do with him. I just permanently left him on the ship. My second run through, I was playing DS and he's the one who didn't like me much. I couldn't do much with him, I kept losing influence... so I left him on the ship again. It wasn't until my third, yes, my third run through that I actually grew a fondness for him. As a Jedi, he can kick some serious @ss! And his personality kind of grew on me, and I don't find him *quite* as hideous as I used to, though his teeth still really bother me.

And how! I had such high hopes for him the second he started making comments about my underwear... *le sigh*

"You'd think I insulted your man!"

Oh my GOD that was funny. People sitting around me must've wondered what I was laughing at. MY favourites are: -Atton, first and foremost. He's got a good story, his comments made me laugh constantly throughout the game, he does some very decent damage, and he's really hot in Jedi robes. A girl couldn't really ask for more. I took him everywhere with me. -Bao-Dur: sure he doesn't say much, but when he does, I think it's well worth the wait. Sure, he sucks with a blaster and got his @ss handed to him more than once before he became Jedi... But he came in VERY handy where technical stuff was concerned. -Disciple: a week ago, he would've been in the "least favourite" section, just because I found him annoying, but I've since grown to appreciate him... on my third run through the game. Yup, it took that long. The boy really can fight if you give him the chance. Least favourites: -Kreia: She annoys me greatly. The only time I almost liked her was when I was playind DS. But even then, she spends most of the game on the ship. -Hanharr: He just makes me uncomfortable. Though the comments made about his presence ("Why is that psychotic Wookie with us?") made me laugh. -Visas: HATE HATE HATE!!! I don't know why she annoys me so much, but she really, really does. She is by far my least favourite character, and I absolutely hate the fact that I'm forced to use her toward the end of the game. She's USELESS.

Whether you're playing LS or DS is irrelevant... what's important is if you selected Revan as being LS or DS. My first run through the game I was LSF, but I had accidentally selected Revan as being DSF, which would mean that Carth didn't exactly manage to leave the Star Forge in KotOR 1... so I never saw Carth. My second run through I was DSF, but Revan was LSF, so Carth was all over the place. I never finished KotOR 1 with a male Revan, so I have no clue what the ending's like there.

Well, there are also the two little cut scenes where Atton tells Disciple to back off and such... but that only happens if you have more influence over Disciple than over Atton. (so basically you have to hit up Dantooine first) But yeah, other than that... well, that's pretty much it, I think. Silly Atton.

And that's... bad? For the record, I always used Carth in KotOR 1. I likes my pretty boys. :D

I'm a little disappointed that there was no option for playing pazaak with Atton, Nar Shaddaa rules.

*L* They actually give you a statue? I never selected that option (I much preferred getting the 4,000 creds), and I didn't think they'd actually go through with it.

I wouldn't think anybody who was alive for the original release of ep. IV would think there were ep. I-III. I sure didn't, despite the fact that I was *very* young when ep. IV came out. It was just a given. Star Wars started at ep. IV.

I found it easier to play DS in KotOR 2 than in KotOR 1. In KotOR 2 all I had to deal with was Atton occasionally telling me I looked like crap. In KotOR 1, I had to put up with Carth lecturing me constantly... and quite frankly, I was unable to let Carth down. I never even managed to finish KotOR 1 as DS. *L*

AND Atton.

I pretty well always have Atton with me... I couldn't bear to leave him on the ship. Poor thing would get so lonely. This time around I actually developed a bit of a liking for Disciple (not in THAT way... cause... EW!), so he's been following me around quite a bit.

Atton: We're not playing for credits. We're playing for something else. Are you going to play or not? Exile: This better not be using Nar Shaddaa rules. Atton: Nope, our clothes are gonna stay on.

*wipes away tear* So...funny...can't...stop...laughing!

I always had Atton with me. In fact, the only times I didn't was when I went to get that info on him from those Twi'leks (and then left the area and put him right back on my team where he belonged); and when the party gets split up, I had him lead the Dxun party while I was on Onderon. The rest of the time he was right behind me (Atton in Jedi robes has got to be the hottest thing ever). In fact, I was really annoyed when I was forced to use Visas and Mandalore on the Ravager... Mandalore I was fine with, but I wanted Atton with me, dammit! And even though I selected him to be in my party, they kicked him off. I don't LIKE Visas at ALL. I could have easily done without her altogether. The other person I'd use would vary... though I'd generally fall back on Mandalore.

Man. I must be some kind of goody-two-shoes. My first playthrough I got LS mastery so fast I couldn't believe it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, same here... mind you, that would also explain why I had NO influence over Kreia.

I think you need to beat it once light side, and once dark side... Some new dialogue options become available then. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That is correct. I don't know exactly how often new dialogue options show up, though... I started my 3rd game, and I came across that Atton "Are you an angel?" Easter Egg (I think it only shows up if you're playing female Exile, for obvious reasons), but so far not much else is different that I've noticed. (Granted, I haven't left Paragus yet.) Just don't expect a completely different game.

Yeah, I felt the same way too... I thought it was fitting that he should choose the dark path, as I was playing DS that time around, but in retrospect, I feel kinda bad. Oh well. I was only playing DS so I could unlock the Easter Eggs. I HATE playing DS. I'm actually amazed that I managed to actually finish the game by doing so.

Funny, I had kind of a similar thought the first time I played KOTOR 1... I was as LS as I could be, but I remember telling my bf that if for whatever reason, Carth got killed by Malak (or whoever), I'd be so pissed I'd be doing an about-face and go DS in a snap. I guess this is why Jedi aren't allowed to fall in love.
