the secret academy isnt a planet but its on the planet malachore V and theres also a better ifinate exp glitch on nar shadaa Actually, I think the secret academy he's speaking of, is Atris' academy on Telos.

Agreed... 256MB RAM just don't cut it. It didn't really cut it a year ago either... Windows uses about 200MB when your computer is booted. That leaves 56MB for other applications that loads...such as MSN, Anti-Virus, Display related shells and so forth. This means the games are left with virtually no physical ram, and have to resort to page-files, which is very slow. Todays computers shouldn't have less than 1GB RAM.

The game is completely patched and up to date?

You'd better download the Team Gizka fix for this quest. http://www.team-gizka.org/downloads.html You should meet them a little bit before you get to the military base.

Two lightsabers, one regular and one short lightsaber, seeing as it gives you less of a penalty for two-weapon fighting. I like to outfit the short one for the best possible blaster bolt deflection, that way I'll be more or less immune to blasters, and then I equip the regular one for maximum damage, preferably with a crystal that gives some "unstoppable" damage, that's the best kind Oh, and I like my right handed (regular) lightsaber to be green and the left handed (short) lightsaber to be violet. Nice color combination in my opinion. Very contrasting colors. Green is to blue and yellow what violet is to blue and red... or something :D

You can't expect a person to wear the same robes all the time, they would become very smelly. Naw, they'de definately need more tunics and robes, so they can change into some clean ones while the other set is at the dry-cleaners.

Example??? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> when you "influence" a party member to your point of view your starting to siphon force off of them.... or somthing like that. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Correct me if I'm all wrong, but the way I understand it, the Jedi Masters believe you have not regained your connection to the force, but that you are only drawing the force through other force sensitive beings. Your "connection" to the force first reappeared in the presence of Kreia (a force sensitive) and it becomes stronger every time you gain a new companion. It's not your own force power you are using, but rather the force powers of your companions. That's the impression I got anyway. And it clearly explains why they think you're like a parasite. However, I believe the Jedi Masters are wrong in this assumption. I simply won't accept that the character I've played through the entire game isn't force sensitive on his own Besides, I think there's more to it than what the Jedi Master think, as they have had a habbit of going for the easy explanations.

In all honesty, I didn't "train" any of them. The jedi training in KotOR leaves alot to be desired. You could, obviously, teach most of the organic crewmembers how to recognize the force, and feel the flow of the force through them, but that was it. There was no proper training. You didn't get to instruct them in the ways of the force, you didn't get to do lightsaber sparring and stuff. I wanted to be able to spend time with a student, to actually get to train somebody. But alas, it was just WAY to simple. I do "convert" as many as possible to Jedi though, seeing as Jedi are by far the most efficient class in the game when it comes to clearing a room of baddies as quickly as possible. Well, actually you basically only need 1 Jedi companion to heal and buff you, and you can just force storm or force wave your way through most of the game. I wish a bigger part of the game would require other sollutions than "enter room, kill baddies, loot footlockers and plasteel sylinders, leave room". I mean, that's not really the Jedi way is it? It's fine from a Sith point of view I guess, but it doesn't really feel very fulfilling.

So after all the talk that is found in-game (mainly from Hk-47 and suggestions that when time is right factory will go "down" " ) that makes you wait for resolving whole Hk-50 issue, and never seeing it, has no bearing to overall story? M4-78 was cut because of lack of time too. All games have cut-content, and there would be no reason to restore TSL's, unless there would not have been so many "Huh? What the ****?" moments that are resolved by cut-content. Whole ending, really. However, with purposedly cut stuff includes Atris being party member etc. TSLRP is not restoring those <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That is one of those parts where it was accidentally left in. Bad edits. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually, to make the edits better, you would have had to remove the HK-50 driods, because they serve no other real point of the story other than leading you to the HK-Factory. Oh, and then you'd have to remove HK-47 as well, cause he is of no real importance in this game either, other than being a main part of the HK-Factory quest. The ending of the game, give no explanation of anything what so ever. The game takes plenty of time to get through, and as a reward you get a 10 second cut-scene of the Ebon Hawk flying off to wherever. What kind of endnig is that? Even before I knew for a fact that the game had any cut content (although a whole bunch of dialogues and hints throughout the game suggested as much) I felt that the game as a whole didn't make any sense. The story of the game is severely crippled, and I for one see no logic in NOT restoring the missing content. Granted, a 3rd game in the series could have explained all the unresolved issues in TSL, but then a major part of the game would have gone by just to do that. And besides, we don't even know if there will be a 3rd game.

The GeForce 6150 is indeed integrated. It is also a low-cost graphics solution, and not directed at gaming. The "LE" version, is even slower than the regular 6150, and seeing as the 6150 hardly could be said "gameworthy", I somehow doubt it was ever meant to run KotOR2. Too many people focus on a fast CPU only when they buy a computer, but especially when it comes to brand name computers, this is by no means a good indication of the over-all system performance. Thelvinaer, if your old graphics card wasn't integrated, it's a GOOD chance it's MUCH faster than the new one. The 6150 isn't even on par with an old GeForce Ti4200. The 6150LE is prolly around half the performance of the Ti4200. Atleast if the numbers I can find on the net is anything to go by. Sorry man, but your graphics just ain't made for running games much beyond Solitaire.

Actually, electronic components don't decay noticably over time. A computer can last decades, except for the mechanical storage units (HDD, FDD and optical drives). There's no reason why a 5 year old computer shouldn't function just as well as it did when it was brand new. Most HDD's have a lifespan of a few thousand hours, sometimes as much as 10.000 hours. Meaning with an average use of 3 hours a day, it will last you a bit over 9 years. The only reason computers usually last 2... max 3 years, is because by that time, they normally won't run most common applications and games at an acceptable speed. If you however, chose to still use your old applications, it will be just as good as it was when you bought it. I have an old 386 laying about, that's not currently in use, but it's seen many years of use, and still works just fine. It's basically useless, but it works.

Nope. They couldn't do that because after doing sth smart like Gain influence+DS with a LS char wouldn't leave any place for Kreia to put her 2 cents in. Moreover such actions are told to be "Manipulative" and the Exile couldn't have had them because that would bring competition to Kreia. Starting the game with the thought "the Exile is dumb and doesn't know anything about manipulation and the gray side" makes it alot easier to accept the dialog options you are given. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> <_< i say we kick out kreia <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If Atris had more of these voiced lines about being Darth Traya... it would definitely be possible to do that or at least weaken her role <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think this relates well to the whole problem with the dialogue system of Kotor2. The things is, as it is now, it's relatively easy to see which options will lead to either the light or the dark side, and most of the time also quite easy to see which will give you better influence. But i mean, that's totally stupid, cause it's not that black/white in real life. I mean, sometimes what might seem like the right thing at the moment, could cause a chain of events that leads to disaster. Even though your action at the time is well meant, and possibly noble, it doesn't nesessarily mean it should reward you with lightside points, seeing as the outcome is more important than your actions at the moment. I mean, isn't that what being a Jedi is all about? Doing the right thing in the long run... Trying to keep a balance in the universe, even though that might mean letting some people live with their troubles at the moment, so long as it's for the greater good in the long run. In Kotor (both games really) you have to be a cold, cruel, calculating son of a biatch to become darkside, and if you're not, you'll generally become lightside. If you wanna become "grey" you have to show yourself as somekinda multiple personality disorder kinda person and mostly be nice to people, but occationally act like a complete psycho to level out the good stuff. There's really no "neutral" choices in the dialogues. It's either saint or satan really. The game as a whole however, is entertaining, it's got a nice Jedi kinda feel to it, and that's the important things in my book. The story also seems to be much more complex than you might think at first, so that's also things i like about it. Okay, i'll cut it there...before i go on too long :D

Whomever i've Jedified gets to be on my crew, got no spesific preference, but Jedi's generelly clean up a place alot quicker than somebody with blasters, so i try to keep my crew jedi-only. In Kotor1 you had to use HK47 alot, because of the sand people, and you didn't get an excess of jedi, which means you got to hear all his funny and sarcastic lines... In Kotor2 however, he's basically useless, as you normally have atleast 3 jedi on the team before HK47's put back together, so i hardly ever use him... Even though it'd like to use him more... Oh well...

Jedi ARE allowed to have emotions, just not let themselves be guided by them. There's a difference between not having emotions, and not allways doing as your emotions tell you to. "Reach out with your feelings, Luke". Acknowledge your feelings, keep your head cool, consider all the facts and think logical... That's how the Jedi are supposed to be.

Disciple has the massive advantage over Bao-Dur that he actually can wear robes. Other people have mentioned it, and it can't be ignored :D Bao-Dur would have been cool to DS if he could have worn some black robes, but alas, that damn arm of his caused extra work to have made him robes, and so "let's just drop it"... Bah! That made him worthless as a jedi to me... I DO turn everyone i can into jedi though, just cause i can... But still, if i was gonna not teach one, it would be Bao.
