Disciple/Bao-Dur/Mira works well too. Really, any combo of them works just fine, as long as you have 1) the needed Skill levels to make things easier and 2) a decent melee fighter or two. Just depends on how you built up the NPC's. Edit - and since I'm usually about lvl 20-25 when get around to Dxun, it's all...well...pretty easy... :D

I've always played female Exile, w/Sentinel as 1st class and I've used Weapons Master, Assassin, and uh, whatever the LS version of Assasin is. It's either a (rather random) bug (to get it or not to get it) or there's something really specific to achieving it that some of us just never 'get'. *shrug

Sorry if it was discussed months ago or something....but is there info somewhere about what priority NPC's use for casting spells (on their own), either in general or based on which AI-behaviour you have them on? For example, with an NPC on Agressive, they rarely use Jedi pwoers at all, with the exception of Lightning, which they'll cast maybe once a fight, particuarly once it's Master level (or maybe it's their chr lvl that determines things). Jedi Support, of course, tends to use more, but still seems to prefer a certain way of casting order. And don't you love it when they cast the buffer spells AFTER a fight is over... " Again, just curious about the game mechanics...

Yeah..there's plenty of ok powers he can use w/armor on. Even when I turn him to Jedi I have him on Agressive/Melee anyway, so he doesn't use powers very often...he's healed my Exile on his own, in battle tho, which was nice of him. But I suppose if you're using him for Jedi Support, that'd work out nicely.

I've had high charimisa (16+), full influence (where they won't get more even if you do the bits where they gain). I've taken a dark side point and then re-gained light points w/the thought that maybe that would re-set something. Nothing. Zilcho. The alignment bar stays one notch below Mastery. I feel deprived. :angry: :D

Yea, I haven't tried as DS yet - after intially playing DS (which was very fun), I've been playing LS ever since, for....er....game play reasons. Yeah, that's it.... It seems odd that you'd be able to get NPC mastery only on DS tho...strange.

Where's the 'Light side but with a dark past' option?

It's not April Fools day here yet........ This is all beginning to remind me of Diablo2 and everyone waiting for (or at least complaining about the time it was taking) the 1.10 patch. All those posts on battle.net forums, lol

I just use that save game editor if I want to look at influence numbers or change them for cutscene viewing purposes. I still haven't been able to get anyone past 99 in DS/LS, (legitly, no mods) and hence to LS/DS mastery, like some report having been able to do.

Intersting poll results so far, I think. Mostly it damages the re-play value for me, because when you're beaten the game you're left with wanting to use/try things with the characters/party configuration in the way you wish, not because the choice is scripted by the developer.

Not that I expect it to be used much, but there's a basic forum up now for discussing the gallery stuff. http://crimsonkeep.com/galleryforum/ Or....one can still use this thread. Doesn't matter much to me. :D

The first two times through the game, I didn't mind being forced to use certain party members since it was new and well, otherwise I wouldn't have played with many of the NPC's in a single game. On replays however, I become more irritated with the concept. At least let me choose one of members of my party on my own at all times, when the party can have 3 in it. If I want to use Bao-Dur or Atton or Mira or HK the entire time they're available to me , for every quest, I should be able to. I can't drag along HK on the Ravager for fun, if I want to later, and that's...well...a drag. Another reason to have more than 3 in the party perhaps. I remember in BG1 there were a couple times when you needed a certain NPC but since you had six slots you didn't feel like all choice was taken away from you.

If all it does is fix bugs/glitches, I suspect those who have stopped playing already/didn't suffer too much from such things in the first place, won't play it again just for that.

So glitch then? Every time before, when I did that side quest, I had Bao-Dur w/out max influence so he'd gain there. This time w/no one to properly influence it did that. And not worried about it...just curious. I do feel like the more I play the game/the more saves I have/more I delete saves the more these minor things pop up. Maybe I'll re-install. @slipstream - you can't take Atton with you when you first visit Dxun, so I doubt it was intended per say, unless picking that response option favors him regardless, like with T3 in one quest.

Nothing major here, was just playing thru Dxun and rescued the guy on the cliffedge bit...had Disciple and Bao-Dur with me, both were max on influence...but Disciple chimed in with his 'you're so nice' speech anyway etc. And then I got the little info screen, and it said I'd gained influence w/Atton who wasn't even there. I know occasionally that occurs, where party member doesn't have to be in party to be influenced, so just wondering if that's supposed to happen here or not. If it matters, I'd chosen the response line "Mandolorian war was a long time ago they aren't my enemies anymore" or some such.

If I link directly to the image it doesn't stay in the 'program window' so the description text isn't visible. And yeah, the browser link url seems to change.

Sigh. I was afraid that might be the case. I'll try again.

Morrowind and Might & Magics are also good if you like a little more action with your RPG's. But the Might&Magics - very old 3D graphic look. You've been warned. Funny...I loved BG1, was totally obsessed with it for months - and then got through about half of BG2 before deciding that I didn't like that one. Despite it's better graphic look, It wasn't as charming. Not that it sucked...just didn't pull me in like BG1 or IWD. And then NWN turned me off the whole BG universe altogether.

What?? You want the place to actually be functional? Done. I put in your cross-links too.

Sometimes if you 'cancel combat' and then re-click on an enemy(while still paused), that goes away. Other times, if you unpause/pause again really fast it sometimes (again, not always) re-sets/rethinks/clears the queue or something and you can then set up your queue without it showing up. I don't know if that makes sense, but either of those things works for me 90% of the time when it happens. Which isn't too often.

Individuals don't scare me. Humanity as a whole sometimes does.

Oh...I was thinking about adding a small basic forum to go with the place, where people could discuss/ask stuff there, maybe even link to their uploads from topics, if that's preferrable to them. Wouldn't be a game-discussion forum like here....just easier than the comments/keeping track of this thread... maybe.

Eh? Jumps? Elighten a middle-aged lady on the terminology there.... :D Anyway, no, I don't think you can edit text once you've posted it. The program I'm using is a bit limited that way - I haven't searched for user-made scripts for it or anything yet either. There's some screens from Kotor1 that have been posted. I haven't played the 1st game past Taris yet myself, so I don't personally have anything to share from it yet. And original artwork - well, I'm hoping people will share some more of that, but that's up to them, and time. Certainly won't see any posted by me. I'm no artist. :D

My desktop occasionally has a picture, but often it's just plain old black or gray. heh I figure it's usually covered up by some active window anyway.... :D

Darn this is making me want to play a new game of Kotor2. I'll never get far in Kotor1 at this rate.
