I liked his character well enough, although I didn't use him much. But I'm one of the few who doesn't like his voice. It's too...soft and placating.

Yeah, that was the first (and only) time where I was confounded by difficulty and had to reload several times. I found it easiest to go solo (place your party waaaaay away down the path you came in on), use a lot of energy shields, and use a grenade to attract only one or two forward at a time till it was thinned enough for the whole party to handle. Then I didn't have any problems at all.

I found it. It's on the play CD, not on the hard drive...at least with the default install. If you open it in notepad, the first half is a lot of symbol garbage, the bottom half is readable, with everything mashed together into one long run on thing. Difficult to read, but interesting.

Where do you find this file? All I see is a dialogs.bif

I disliked that tons myself. It's one thing to make me pick different members than my preference in a split mission (dxun) and another to take over my choice completely.

Mine's set to 0 and I can still use printsreen to take a screenshot that gets place in that folder. Honestly, I think my swkotor2.ini does aboslutely nothing - the game completely ignores it when I've tried to do any of the stuff people talk about.

Yeah..if it was well written I'd love a novel where you get to see more of what's going on in everyone's head, or something. But of course...most books based on games aren't very good... And...glad it irrelevant because I don't want to go through that whole tree again. But it was cool to see his creepy side come out like that. heh

You end it where he's positive about the Force (he just says 'train me, I want to feel it again') or where he's negative - ie, negaitve is where he says he felt the Force once and it weakend him, and asks you if there's someone he needs to kill to prove himself. " I'm playing Light, and oddly I can get his negative responses without taking any DS point hits. I'm wondering if this might have had repercussions towards those cut-out scenes and goes nowhere in the final. I want a kotor2 novel....

I had to go look for it... You the player: I just want to play some pazaak. Atton: I think maybe you should let me....handle...this one. (fade out) Female pazaak player: That was...magnificent. Thank you for such a stimulating game.

No...it's just in the main swkotor folder, not one of the sub-folders...At least, on my XP-pro system. they're tga files - K2_00001.tga K2_00002.tga etc.

If you used the PrintScreen key it's in the programfiles/lucasarts/swkotor2 folder........

At the moment I have a screenshot from KOTOR2 of Atton, wearing some geek red shades....yes I 'm sad. :D

Love is taking a preaching Disciple and a rascally Atton and twisting them around in circles until one fights the other to the death. Damn I wish that had been in the final game.....

The scene in Nal Shadda's bar, where you're supposed to get rid of all the pazaak champions - what the female one says to Atton after he 'plays' a game with her for 'you'. That one cracked me up. I can't remember the exact words off-hand tho.

Great work at helping flesh out the story/NPC interactions for people. I would have really liked to see Atton & Disciple fighting, sounds like a cool scene. One thing I noticed, is that some of those cut scenes were supposedly to be triggered depending on influence - for example, "if player has more influence with Atton than Disciple" - I know it appears that there was a dialogue/scene in case that wasn't the case, but it brings up the issue (to me) of....since so many players like to try and get max influence with everyone possible, I wonder how many would never have seen those scenes even if they'd been included. :D Makes me wonder if there's anything different like that even in the truncated game in that regard. I always seem to get max influence with Disci and Atton, for example. I guess I should try to not do that and see if they react different. I wish there was an in-game way to see your actual influence rating with an NPC - not just by how well their bar matches yours.

Or maybe even downgrade the drivers. nvida's 66 drivers have caused a lot of trouble for some recent games, lately.

This is one of those times where I'm convinced you're thinking three steps ahead of me, and I cannot see the destination. -- Disciple's reaction to when you 'give' the Ebon Hawk back to the guy in Nal Shadda

I had a hard time being 'evil' in Kotor2 myself...I'm usually a good or chaotic good sort. But I really wanted to see/play the dark side in this game so I forced myself to go that way. Had to restart twice before I could stop thinking 'nice'. heh But.....I absolutely loved being Dark by the end. I'm playing Light now, and it feels more dull - I can't tell people to jump in pits, or kill that guards by the Exchange door just for fun, etc. Plus I have to refrain from snapping at Kreia....nooooooo! Being Light has brought up different dialogues with my fave characters tho, and that's enough reason to continue. I want to hear/see everything. :D And it's been a lot easier to achieve Mastery and keep it there (so far) with Light than Dark - especially in terms of the NPC influence stuff.

I haven't slept much in three days - first to finish the game and now to being a second game. And now my husband is playing it too - glitchy or not, balancing issues or no, it's still the best game in ages. I was getting so tired of the same old RPG and RTS....

It's 5 to max out influence far as I can tell - I've counted - after that, they still do their cutscene reactions to something influential but you get no actual influence gain anymore. I max out Atton before I even leave Telos.

Atton left because he captured a jedi who touched him with the Force and threw him into mental confusion chaos - so he killed her because he hated her and loved her at the same time or something (for causing the confusion and making him see things differently) - and to save her from further torture maybe? - and then left.

Wow...another fan. I was blown away by Tigana. I still haven't read the Tapestry...even tho I bought it years ago. I mostly read sci-fi like Asimov or Jack Chalker, or fantasy...with a little horror and historical fiction thrown in (particularly the US Civil War period). But I became tired of never ending series syndrome and stopped reading, mostly, several years ago.

I got DS mastery and saw the bonus, but never tried to get any of my party to mastery so I can't comment on that. But I was noticing this evening, that I now have Light mastery and two converted jedis who seem like they should have it (their bars are the same and I have max influence with them), but they do not - certainly no bonus. I was assuming party members just don't get the mastery bonus, only Exile - but....*confused*...ah well.

Oh wait...sorry...yes it's the Exiles skill used to breakdown items - anyone else's skill can be used to create, but only Exiles is (supposed) to be for breakdown. Although, some say that's not true for them. Just more inconsistent glitches. P.S. The endless components/energy shield etc. tricks don't work on my PC version of the game.

You need a Repair skill of 20 to have an item breakdown into the same amount of components that it would cost to create. If you'er breaking down something that's worth only 1 component to begin with, 20 Repair won't make a whit of difference. But if you're breaking down an 'expensive' blaster or armor, you'll notice.
