Does this game have....like the first game?

Does this game have...

 

1)conversations between party members like the first one had conversations between Canderous and Carth.

 

2) What about sidequests to learn more about characters' past like the first one had Carth with his son?

[CptRanger]

I havent seen any conversations between the party members that you have with you, but there are times where they will all gather and have a group discussion, like when you found out you were Revan in Kotor 1 on the Ebon Hawk and Carth told everyone.

 

Also there are some ingame cutscenes that will have party members talking to each other, or furthering along the plot. One of the funniest is having the Handmadien and Mira talk to each other about 'how to get a man' lol.

That will be funny.

You can in fact learn about people's pasts, and this is tied in with their influence meter.

 

the nicer you are to them, the more the reveal, the more influence you get.

[nightcleaver]

Not MUCH of their pasts, though.

 

There's not as much character interaction of the sort that was in the first game. However, there's a lot more story and plot-related stuff happening, and overall there seems to be more happening behind the scenes with your party members and the plot in general. It makes them feel less like an extension of your will, which is a good thing, I think - but they should've left in the option of more direct conversation with your NPC's. They did a really good job with the influence system.

Not in the same way, but that's for the better. You don't need to go walking around with the 'right' people in your party; party interaction takes place automatically every once in awhile when you enter the Ebon Hawk. It actually allows the conversations to be more natural; instead of just suddenly chatting about something in the middle of a Sith base, you'll see them strolling the corridors of the Ebon Hawk chatting in a sort of mini-cutscene.

[City Blues]

Does anybody know exactly what triggers these 'mini-cutscenes'? I tend not to return to my ship all that often, even less now because it's not an instant heal like in the first KOTOR. I've noticed that when you gain a new character, you'll usually have a cutscene the first time you step onto the ship after it. I've also had several cutscenes, one after another. I'm not sure if the top was 2 or 3 unrelated cutscenes.

 

I'm just wondering if it's entirely random with the exception of gaining new characters. Or if it's dependent on your levels, or the levels of your various characters, or related to plot progress, or influence, or something completely different.

[nightcleaver]

It's not really dependent on levels at all. It's influence, plot, plot progress, special happenings... all of it.

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Personally I liked the interaction of the first one better. It felt more realistic, and the side quests were a lot of fun.

You need influence to unlock all of their past. But the dialogue and characters are much better than the first game.

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Yeah, I'm gonna have to buy the game. I rented it, which meant i had to play it all in a few days, which didn't leave a lot of time for talking. I should have just bought it, now i'll be paying the full price+plus the rental fee

[Darth Abomination]

I've had a few cut scenes were the other hand maidens and Atris are talking about ur handmaiden betraying them, I just got the one were the two are talking about how she would have been exiled eventually so they're happy that she left when she did are there anymore?

[Guest Eric328]

Well sometimes in the game you will see characters interupting you and also very little will you see partymembers talking to each other.

Thats totally not true, all the characters after ahile only have the same couple of dialoge options and don't really increase with exp.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

spoilerish

 

 

 

 

in one instance a certain character tells you there real name, but low and behold that the same dialoge option which they don't remaines
