  1. ooo--you mean the only reason I don't get the option again is because he needs someone new? Guess I'll have to test that. Thanks for the input!
  2. Spoiler Warning: If you haven't visited Nar Shadaa, and you don't want to know about the details of one of the quests (even though this may help you out), stop reading now. Well, I stumbled upon the ability to have the handmaiden act as a dancer for the Hutt. And while I found the whole little sub-quest interesting, I couldn't help but shake the feeling that I was missing something. And that's because I was. It was only well after I had her dance for him that I discovered that I could break into his treasure vault by feeding Juma juice to his hounds (you only know this by sneaking up on the two alien scoundrels nearby in stealth mode). So I went to the bartender and got the Juma juice. Unfortunately for me, however, you cannot feed the juice to the hounds in their water bowl unless the Hutt is asleep. And how do you put him to sleep? Why by dancing for him of course. Only problem is, once you've done it and left and he's awake again, you are never given another opportunity to dance. So the heist simply can't be completed. Did Obsidian never think you might actually discover how to dance for the Hutt first? This is a broken quest tht could easily have been fixed with simply allowing the dance dialogue option more than once. So if you want to finish the quest--make sure you retrieve the Juma juice before approaching the Twilek about having found a dancing girl for the Hutt. *sigh* btw--was there anything good in the Hutt's vault?
  3. I just wanted to add that I finally figured out a way to complete the quest under these circumstances without gaining DS points. As has been stated by others, you simply need to kill the front two guards. In order to kill them without getting DS, I chose one of my evil characters (in this case, the GOTO droid). Then I made him my primary and switched to SOLO mode. The conversation with the guards still seems to take place with the Exile, but when you refuse to back down and force the guards to fight, it reverts back to Solo mode with no DS points gained. You are then free to kill the guards without penalty.
  4. I agree with the original post. Beating Nihilus was an anticlimactic event of extreme proportions. After all the build-up, all the talk of me being "not ready to face him", all the rumor of this immense power he wielded, I barely broke a sweat destroying him. I had a harder time taking Col. Torbin down. heh. The game box does not deliver--no reason to put his face front and center. His picture should have been a tiny mug shot in the lower right corner.
  5. McHo. This is definitely not working for me.
  6. lol! What can I say? It's a good thing I'm role playing, else half these people would be dead, and the other half pregnant. Dark side next time around.
  7. Spoiler Alert -- if you don't yet know the full story of Atton's past (and don't want to prematurely) stop reading now. OK. This is from a light-side user's perspective. I just got through listening to Atton's looooong-winded recounting of how he fought as a Sith scrub and killed a bunch of Jedi during the Civil War. Now, after all of that, he actually wants me to train him! So it looks like I've got the option to do so or not. Here are my caveats: 1. I'm already training the handmaiden. How many apprentices are they going to let me take on??? I've also got the old woman and the blind woman at my disposal for Jedi needs. 2. The guy is unrepentant about wholesale slaughter of Jedi, and then seems to feel almost nothing about outright murdering the female Jedi who tried to help him. He even comes up with excuses for doing so. And my character is supposed to trust that Atton has the inner strength to be a Jedi and not turn into a Sith at the first sign of adversity? please. 3. Add to this that I've been building the guy up as my default tank--training him means abandoning that route and basically making him turn in his steel combat boots for a pair of Jedi ballet slippers. :D I'm just curious if any of you have opinions about whether or not I should train him (as spoiler-free as possible please). You can obviously see that I'm leaning toward giving him a rejection letter.
  8. Yup--see that's what I'm talking about Janson. Instead of killing the leader originally like you did, I force pursuaded him to help the situation. Now I'm stuck because he and/or his guards remain an obstacle that I can't surmount without DS usage. Just seems like Obsidian didn't consider this route and provide a lightside-only alternative resolution. *shrug* Thanks for all the replies here. At least it appears I didn't miss anything blatantly obvious.
  9. There is something else odd with that for me--I was never able to use the speeder. I found all the parts for it, but when I went to put them in, the game says the speeder has been "sabotaged beyond repair". No clue who would have done it or why. Iwas not an enemy to the S(whatever) clan--so it doesn't seem likely to have been their doing.
  10. Perhaps. But then it winds up being the only side quest that doesn't offer you a completely moral alternative for resolution. I think it's a glitch or a mistake.
  11. Nope--that still gives me DS points. Guess I have to either abandon the quest or be willing to lose my lightmaster status--at least for a while (and the nice att bonus that comes with it). Kinda sucks that you are put in a position of having to commit an evil act to help someone else.
  12. Spoiler Alert--read at your own risk if you are unfamiliar with the Nar Shadaa quests... I need help figuring out how to help reunite the husband and wife. I think the only way to complete this is to provoke the Exchange in some manner and slaughter all the guards. The problem is that I've finished just about every other quest on the planet without actually raising the ire of the Exchange (I've already defeated the leader in his underground lair/arena as well). Now I can't provoke his right-hand squid-face (the guy whose control room overlooks the refugee camp) or any of his thugs to attack me! There's no conversation string that allows me to fight him. I've even tried setting up mines in his office--heh. About the only thing I can do is pick a fight with the gate guards at the front--but that gets me dark side points (I'm going light). I raided the Exchange vault--which prompted the attacks of two pigs--but that was it...the rest of them ignored me afterward. I even robbed the rest of their cylinders in plain view--most of the guards just ignored me. I read elsewhere that you can pay the little bat guy to give you Exchange influence one way or the other, but I must have miised that boat as well--he doesn't give me any options except to give me hints about the bar and the pazaak den. Am I missing something here? Do I have to leave the planet--provoke the Exchange elsewhere and then come back? Or is it simply impossible for me to clear out the guards at this point?...at least without soiling myself in the process.
