I'd like to check how much influence I have with various party members at the moment. How do I do that?

You can't see influence in-game. If you really need to check, you need to download and use the Kotor Save Game Editor.

Does that editor allow you to alter influence levels? I'm having a pain maintaining a DS Bao-Dur.

I believe it does, yes, though I've never used it myself.

I wonder why the game was made that way. It's pretty confusing without ability to watch the amount of influence. I almost feel blind.

 

But I don't want to cheat, even if that's only a save game editor... That's not the way the game was supposed to be played. Cheating takes too much out of the sense of accomplishment.

thier's a mod somewere that makes Bao's remote tell you what your influence with your party is. To unlock influence options you need to either have really low influence of really high influence. With high influence your party members gain allignment points that you do. with low influence your party gains allignment opposite of you. the more extreme your influence is the more allignment points they get. Charisma will also increase allignment but Masters and Lords have a feet which signifigantly pushes thier compain's allignment to the extremes. the benifit of alignment mastery is that you git a bonus of some sort.

Well the easiest way to go about it is if you are pure LS or DS. The closer they are to your alignment, the more influence you have with them.

Hm, if so, then I have extreme influence on everybody except Goto. Their alignment is very dependant on mine, although I didn't know that it was influence causing it.

Still, it would've been nicer if there was a real function in the game that could show you your influence in percents!
