The flag speaks to the fact that he is emulating a Jamaican.

Well it seems they missed this April Fool's Day. Only 363 days left till the next one.

Don't use the Mod program, get the Omega Drivers. They allow you to still have Mobility laptop Vid Card options rather than just the Desktop options (power saving, and other things). Plus they do work better, go for them rather than just hacking a plain Desktop driver set yourself. Peter

Are we still talking about the Patch that was supposedly sent off to Lucas Arts over a month ago, or the new patch that Obsidian has been working on since then with all the extra stuff in it rather than the barebone (sort of) fixes? Peter

Posting all the things I've put on the Lucas Arts Tech Forums in the past week: Ya, that X-Ray problem I had that before. Especially around the Telos docking area as well, though even before I left the planet. I had to reboot to fix it. Here are some screenshots of where I was under the Jekk Jekk Tar when not only the walls disappeared, but my character didn't feel quite...whole. http://www.cczclan.com/files/Justtogetahead1.jpg http://www.cczclan.com/files/Justtogetahead2.jpg http://www.cczclan.com/files/Justtogetahead3.jpg http://www.cczclan.com/files/Justtogetahead4.jpg http://www.cczclan.com/files/Justtogetahead5.jpg Here's some more that I took just now in the Cantina on Onderon: http://www.cczclan.com/files/Justtogetahead5-5.jpg http://www.cczclan.com/files/Justtogetahead6.jpg http://www.cczclan.com/files/Justtogetahead7.jpg (if you thought I had it bad this is Canderou..I mean Mandalor, doing his invisible suit like the Parageus spacesuit impression - you can just make out his shadow) http://www.cczclan.com/files/Justtogetahead8.jpg http://www.cczclan.com/files/Justtogetahead9.jpg http://www.cczclan.com/files/Justtogetahead10.jpg Also notice that people in the background got a bit sick, really greenish in some of these. Oh and that Exchange Quarren who ran the Refugee Sector, I agree completely, I just posted something over on Obisdon about that as well, I think it was the same guy too, it matches perfectly. I think I mentioned that above as well, not sure though. So you know, I haven't read all of your posts here completely since I'm not done the game, but I'll check them out as I get to those points. pjp New one as well, also dialog skipping. I'd just finished giving my first Open Visa (I have one more) to the Women and Children on Onderon, and was looking forward to my reward - namely her thanks and some praise from the Handmaiden. Well, the mother's thanks got cut off before it could finish and then the Handmaiden started to say it was Noble what I had done, then she got cut off as well and I think one more bit of dialog jumped on screen but was gone before I could see it. Darn. Not satisfying at all.

KOTOR 2 though...anything knew other than even more bugs? I'm glad though that in 2 you don't need all your characters to be next to you to go to a new Area, because if we did I'd be screwed : ). Mandalore heard that the Bartender wouldn't serve me so he decided to jump behind the counter and give me another round. http://www.cczclan.com/files/mandabar1.jpg http://www.cczclan.com/files/mandabar2.jpg Then I got impatient and decided to join him... http://www.cczclan.com/files/medrink2.jpg http://www.cczclan.com/files/medrink3.jpg Then there is this, this hasn't happened before in my KOTOR/KOTOR II experience - I've been cloned! http://www.cczclan.com/files/attackoftheclones.jpg Otherwise just minor things like ppl thinking I'm a Swoop Racer (and complementing me on it) even though I never raced and ppl looking for Captain Rieken when he's just around the corner. I think the Neophyte Armor was not supposed to be upgradable - its way to powerful, but I like it - No other Force Compatable clothing has even come close to it in the game so far : ). Also, if you switch between all your characters and update their attacks, it will start to forget what you programmed them to do and start attacking, even if you told it to do something else better, such as a Force Push, for instance. PJP Couple more bugs, in the Freeda Nadd Tomb almost all the dialog is way too long, and all of it is English that I have seen. Sits around 5 or 6 seconds at least after the person is done talking before it flips and nothing is going on. Also, though she didn't say it out load, while Mira was telling me not to go near the Dark Side Energy it said in the subtitles "I'm not a Jedi but even I can sense it" - Well hello, of course she's a Jedi. I've got my own little academy here! Forget Dantoonie and Planet Maraluka the guy should come after the Hawk - everyone but (Old) Ben and the Driods are Jedi... PJP The combat problem is that it automatically when it spots an enemy sets you up for a certain attack. The thing is, it doesn't let you see the attack - you have to select an attack before the menu comes up at the bottom fo the screen with your new attack as the first one on the menu. But it really isn't - If you cancel that attack you added only then can you see the attack that is really at the top of the stack for you to carry out. Then you can start adding all the attacks you want to do. This is a simple bug, it looks like an incrementor was off or soemthing and instead of replacing the first attack thats there and displaying it, it shows you the second one and just adds to the list. Though its simple, its terribly annoying since it affects every single combat we have in the entire game. I really, really hope the new patch fixes this. - Other thing that just happened, about pathing, I was controlling Kreia using Force Screams all over the clearing, and my character actually got stuck on the other side of the square somehow next to one of the sheds near next to where the Basilsek landed. He had perfect health, but he sat there for the entire battle doing Force Heal over and over. Kreia wasn't getting healed, I guess she was too far away (where's the force chain?) but he just sat there the entire time over and over to no affect, even for about 10 seconds after the battle was over and everyone was killed, he still did it 3 more times automatically...just thought that was odd. - One more thing, when I chat with the Royalist Soldiers while heading to get the Palace back (before I take the 1st shield barrier) they say "I knew General Vaklu would not remain allied with the Sith. I'm glad we're free of them." What? That's completely off topic there and only seems to reveal what will happen later... PJP - At the second shield it says that I need Ben Dur to get through it if I try to bash it with Mandalore. But he wasn't a required character for this mission (Kreia was), so rightly so it works to get through the shield with my Lightsaber (or I'd be stuck). So why does the message popup? Bug. I don't suppose this is a bug, but the fact that I can Force Confuse the Sith Lord into fighting for me every time I try...boy do I ever feel powerful now : ). In the Royal Palace there is a Gas Room. I have Breath Control on. Though I don't lose any health points, I keep getting Xed out and therefore can't even move more than a step or two and can't open anything. Quite annoying. What's up with that? It seems they remembered for Breath Control not to take the HP off for getting poisoned, but forgot to turn off the Horror of being posioned...even though I can't be horrified because I really couldn't have been posioned because of the Breath Control... PJP Also, there is a door in the Royal Palace on Onderon which I can't seem to open or treat in any way as a door. Like the ones at the docks on Nar Shadda. This room is an offshoot of the Dining Room. The next one down the corridoor from the Dining Room has the same problem. Also, KIPH keeps trying to send Overload signals to the Computer Terminals in the Palace, but they never blow up. Sometimes thats because I disabled his access or stopped the Overload Sequence, other times I let it happen and...nothing happens. It says 'Here's a present for you Jedi' and nothing blows... Also, Why are Royalist soldiers attacking me? And why are they following General Vaklu? Aren't Vaklu's troops the ones I'm fighting and the Royalists (for the Queen) are my friends? Then why are the ones in the room with Kiph and where they are holding Captain Riekenn, Royalists? They should be Vaklu's soldiers. Also the Captain in the other room mentioned I could go to the Armory in the next room and take whatever I like. Is that room that has been erased from the Map? PJP Darn it, I'm screwed! I can't get into the Throne Room and I can't tell Captain Kadran that I got the Security Codes - I had done it already, but I asked him 'Anything you can give me to help me out?' and thats when he told me to go to the non-existant Armory. I lost the ability to ever tell him I got the codes though, its never an option anymore. Therefore I'm stuck and I can go no further in the game...darn it... PJP

Just wanted to say I find the game way too easy. The only part that was tough for me was the Hidden Tomb on Korriban, because I went there before any other planets (specifically the battle at the start, after that I can't die anyway). In that case I was both alone and weak being still new to the game. Otherwise I really can't die... Of course I do all the quests, break every door, lockbox and safe and so on as I go along - ppl with less XP would have problems. I'd say the first planet you visit after Telos will be somewhat difficult, next planet will be So-So and after that its just simplicty itself. The enemies do get harder I think...they really should, but thats the problem with playing with options - it isn't coded to change the difficulty based on the # of planets you've already done so it has to have the same entry level difficulty. Some of the unarmed combat against the Mandalorians can be a bit tough, but if you put on your force powers and shields before the match its simple. Of course I say that because I always use force powers a lot, if I just wanted to hack and slash there are a million games I could play - but shooting some lightening or invisible waves of energy at people while holding a glowstick - now thats what we only get from Star Wars : ). Of course I haven't finished the game yet, I'm just about to save the last Jedi Master on Onderon then go on to the Ending (finished Peragus, Telos, Dxun, Onderon I, Korriban, Dantoonie completely). PJP

Just a comment, yep Cerebus I had that same skills thing. I thought I mentioned it before but maybe not. Otherwise I'm mostly posting now on the LA Tech Support forum there, got a 'List of Bugs' post started that seems to be going strong. Hopefully they will see at least one of these posts and correct these errors.... PJP

I heard that as well Cerebres, though I can't be sure. It probably does do something though to the game, though I think its just fixing some language text issues. Ya, I didn't bother Intimidating the guards, just talked to them and they left me alone. Then I went over to the Sorocco camp after speaking to everyone in the Refugee Area, used Force Persuade on the guard at the enterance and entered the camp. I saved just before I spoke to the Sorocco Leader, and told him to attack the North and he attacked me instead. So I reloaded from before that point and just told him instead with a Force Persuade to 'Give the Refugees Some Room' or something like that - that worked perfectly. Then I went and raided the Exchange with my Stealth Gear, and spoke to the Refugees again. Then I went up to the Exchange boss and told him with Intimidate to leave the Refugees alone and he decided to attack me then - I got some LS points though from that Intimidation dialog though, then I just killed my way out of there and all was well. You lacking the options in dialog though really screws it. Its like when talking to Vogga and not being able to dance for him again. They remove the options too soon and too much in the game. PJP

First thing with Mira, I had the same. But I figured it was because I had her dexterity set so high that they couldn't hit her. Also had the repeat in dialog I completed both the "Couple reunion" and "Fuel Source" quests succesfully, and got LS from the first one. Just had to kill every Exchange person down below then tell her to go to her Husband, and I got the other group to leave the Refugees alone via a Force Persuade. Fuel Source I just spoke to Vogga after fixing the dock power problems + Refugee job and transit quests, and he gave me the Creds. - I then went to Telos to see if Luet. Grenn would say thanks, but no one even acknowledged I did anything...(like how the Cult Ithor Leader didn't either after going to the surface). One thing about the Quarren being the same guy, they thought it was as I did because he says "I'm the one in charge of the Refugee Sector" and in the Refugee Sector you see this Exchange guy who is the same species and says He's the one in charge of the Sector. I didn't check the name though on either of these to know, but it does seem to make you think they are the same... though this may not be a bug or anything of any consequence and just that they are different I suppose, but it's what makes you think there is an issue there. pjp

Out of curiousity Cerebus, what version do you have? Only the international versions were patched so I'm kind of curious. I didn't have that last problem, though the Gas Mask thing I agree worked perfectly fine (though I'm not sure if everyone has a Gas Mask at this point in the game or has access to it). Still the dialog says you would die from skin contact, but its not a problem so I suppose thats a bug. --- More bugs: Another one I found just now is that when fighting in the battle circle against Bralor, I actually died. But for some reason, it said I had won. So when I was declared victor I got an item, I went into my character screen to see what it was, thinking it was Armor I tried to equip it. Somehow when I selected a peice of armor on the list, it jumped to the Handmaiden as my main character. So I flipped back to my real character, and somehow it had listed that I was equipped with the peice of Armor I had just clicked to see, the Armor I had on before was gone and the game froze on me at that instant. I figure it must have detected I was dead, and tried to prevent me from accessing the character until he was Revitalized, but failed somehow. Two things though, I was definately dead in the Battle Circle (0 VP), at least a turn before Bralor was anywhere near it, I'm not sure how I won, and then it locked up completely and I had to do a CLTR+ALT+DEL to get out of it. - Another Bug: If I chat with Kreia about My Chrystal on Dxun (haven't noticed this before and this is where I am now) then her second statement, something like 'come to me if you need it refocused" is skipped if I listen to the first one (it's bonded to you). The statement flashes on screen for about a fraction of a second then the chat goes on to the 'Is there anything else you wanted to ask?' statement. If I skip her first comment about the Crystal though, then it plays the second statement perfectly. --- Btw, the Ebon Hawk's mini-map shows a Swoop Bike in the garage, but I've never seen one on the ship, just some grating in that spot which Bao Dur plays with. I am stick half a planet away from finding the last of the Jedi Masters, I'm curious though of anyone who has finished the game - will there ever be one there? pjp

(Spoilers) Handmaiden - I can activate her Force quest at least twice. As I right this I'm seeing the 'Betrayal' Cutsequence again. Kreia also told me earlier not to get involved with her. I am not sure how I set this off, perhaps because I already made her a Jedi Gaurdian before I asked about why her face looked different. I just saw a screen about the other Atris handmaidens saying it may be good she exiled herself (first time I flew the Hawk since I made her a Jedi Guard). Now she is asking me to be a Jedi...this is not good I think. I hope it doesn't cause my game to become unstable. Maybe she will get some free upgrades now I'm not sure. I'll make a new message on this when I figure it out further. - Update: Yep, it just went to a blank screen and stuck there. I saved it and loaded the save game and now I'm on deck. It couldn't actually show my the 'Betrayal' cutscene with Atris again, since the characters were out of position I guess. So it just stopped. Seeing what other consequences there are there though. Hope this doesn't stop me from finding out more of the Handmaid's Tale... Further Update: lol, Now she is pretty darn souped up. She got reset to Jedi Guardian Level 0 when I spoke to her again, and I got to upgrade her all the way up 4 levels right away (which was more than the XP she had before we spoke). I got popups saying 'You have been granted these feats' or 'these powers' but they were all blank. So I got to get lots of new powers and feats on her for Free. Very interesting situation, I am not sure exactly where in my talking to her I got this bug, but I spoke to her a lot and went down almost ever chat path there was with her at least once. Very odd bug, I have no idea truely how I set it off, I just hope it doesn't destroy my game later on. pjp

I apologize if any of these have been mentioned before. Here are the bugs I came up with: (Spoilers - :ph34r: at end of them) 1. Gold Pazaak Flip Cards do not add up properly (2&4, etc..) - Won at Pazaak den with almost no effort, I think that this may be why, the AI couldn't understand it. 2. Swoop Racing always tells me I crashed and have to finish the race to continue (even though I did win the race) 3. Often skips T3's speech, no sound on parts of it 4. Some video glitches like just a head with no body (while on Halbriger) and no walls and floor (Telos city) or completely invisible body (spacesuit outside) - though restarts fixed these. 5. Assorted crashes, lockups, very slow conditions, only when saving or loading (mostly at loading time) 6. Droids at Telos - getting ready to leave on flight - B4 says 'Now you got him angry!' but the other utility (refresher sized) droid doesn't do anything 7. Death in Tomb while facing Bastila, Malak and company - dialog comes up, but you still die...not sure if this is a bug or not, but you can't die in the rest of the tomb so wondering. 8. Swoop Racing - the Mouse moves you, but there is no other button on keyboard to increase speed. I really wish that you could use the mousebuttons like in KOTORI and not have the mouse affect movement. Not sure if space was what did the powerups in the first game, but here its for jumping. Can't change it on keymapping. (This happens on both Telos and Nar Shadda, haven't gotten to any other tracks yet if they exist) - I managed to get 00:00:00 on Telos after beating all the records, though at first I had 59:59:59 for awhile when I forfieted my first race because I didn't know how to jump and got stuck. 9. End Turn buttons doesn't work when playing Atton at Pazaak for a tutorial game. It warns you and if you press End Turn anyway nothing happens. 10. Runs much slower than KOTORI, but that might just be because the areas are so much bigger. 11. At Pazaak Den on Nar Shadda, can't play the Twilek at cards - she will say how handsome I am, I ask if we can play a game, the screen goes black for a second, then she says she really enjoyed it. I can never ask to play again. Same sort of thing happens when I ask to play Pazaak with Atton in the Ebon H in the 'Pazaak in my Head' conversation 12. Can't tell Hutt on Nar Shadda to watch my companion (I'm male) dance after starting request for Telos fuel mission. 13. Kreia says she gives me a bonus to my weakest and strongest skills after I talk to her (the Force lesson to imrpove my weakest skill). I do notice my Force points have risen, but my skill bonuses seem not to have changed at all. 14. Alien dialog too fast and some of it gets skipped - let us skip ahead if we want to, I get most of it but there have been at least 7 or 8 times so far that I haven't finished it through. 15. Nar Shadda door thing, the two doors that aren't accessible as doors. 16. Nar Shadda Jedi Master repeats one of his last comments twice. 17. Got message from Exchange guy to meet with him after I killed him? He said he was in charge of the Refugee Sector and he was also a Quarrin...not sure if its the same one. 18. Some chats will not put the last text at the top of the screen as I reply, others do not even have a black area at the top but just whatever is in the background. 19. Handmaiden gets new clothes every time I ask her to get dressed after battling. 20. After fixing HK47, he wants to see my sonic sensor, I let him, he replies its similar to his vocabulator, that the HKs are tracking us through it. If I say
