Disciple, Influence and secrets...

[Andyr]

So I am on my second play of KotOR II, and have gone for a female Dark Side character. I was male Light Side last time, so now I find I have Disciple in my party instead of Handmaiden.

 

He seems to have some sort of big secret he's keeping, though my influence with him is fairly bad so although I can ask why he looks familiar and what his issues with the Jedi are I don't get any answers... What I'd like to know is are his secrets something I will find out eventually, or only if I can influence him enough?

 

No actual spoilers, please.

 

The second point concerns my Influence... I have CHR 18 and Dark Side Mastery. Yet several NPCs seem to hop about the alignment scale from Light/Neutral to Dark and back, even when not in the party and I don't think my influence with them has changed. It's happened with Bao-Dur, Atton and Disciple. Is this a bug or just intentional behaviour I don't quite understand? I have the Sith Lord prestige class, but this happened before I was one too.

 

(Last time when I was Light Side I didn't experience these jumps in alignment, though I think most of the characters affected had Light Side tendencies anyhow. And I obviously didn't have Disciple.)

There are indeed things you can learn about Disciple by having good influence with him.

 

Mild spoiler (not advised for first playthrough)

There are some interesting effects of having a much higher influence with Disciple than with Atton.

 

 

The NPCs flitting back and forth between LS and DS is a bug, one which affects different computers in different ways and for which there's no simple solution. It doesn't seem to have much effect on gameplay, other than looking weird.

Thanks; perhaps I shall wait until after completion before reading the spoiler part of the post then.

I never managed to find his secret and won't be replaying for a while, so could someone spoil me? What's the truth about Disciple?

1. I wonder why you couldn't open his secret. You can Jedi-fy Disciple in a single convo, thus also hearing his secret and stuff

2. The aligment switching is a bug

 

The spoiler;

Disciple's "How does he know you"

I never had decent Influence with him and couldn't manage to see anything suggesting making him a Jedi. I didn't even know you could, though.

 

Thanks for the link.

There are also some interesting things you can learn before you make Disciple a Jedi but after you ask those questions they can never be asked again unless you reload. Plus the answers to those questions depend on whether Revan went LS or DS.
