They worked for me, so consider it fixed. As before, loving the work. I'd put my vote in on the merchants, but I see that's already going where it should.

The whole PS4/Xbone thing? I'm currently 360, went PS4 mindset after E3. Now the recent reveals have driven me back into considering Xbone, although it's obvious that anything they said now can be just as easily reverted to the old situation in the long run. I don't care for either camp's exclusives so much, since anything that interests me that has been announced is going to come out on both (and pc). However, I vastly prefer the 360 controller over the PS3 so I'll have to have held both nextgens in hand before I can decide, although some reports say that the new PS4 controller IS an improvement. Also, all immediate interesting titles (I'm thinking GTA, Watch Dogs and Destiny atm) are coming to 360 still and overall the support for that looks good enough for at least another year and possibly more. Not to mention everything that came out in recent years and I haven't gotten my grubby hands on, games that already cost half or less than what they used to. For example, I haven't gamed much recently but my most recent library addition was Sleeping Dogs, which is really a lot of fun btw! So I'm also considering just sitting the initial wave out (there won't be Red Rings again right? They wouldn't cock up like that another time...) and then decide if I want to upgrade to a new system, do nothing, or go with a PC in the end.

[HEADING=2]Update 14: Atton[/HEADING]

Last time, we touched down on Nar Shaddaa, recovered a veritable treasure trove of pornography, and also some schematics that nobody really cares about. We pick up where we left off, entering an entertainment promenade in search of more side-quests.

When we enter, we're accosted by a group of 'handsome' individuals.

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%203/2013-06-02_00411_zpsa375610f.jpg.html]

Bob: "Fuck, no. Pazzak is a broken, unfun, piece of crap."

Chris Avellone: "No, wait! Stop! We fixed it in this game!"

Bob: "...really?"

Chris Avellone: "Well, kind of. We fixed the AI."

Bob: "What about the fact that Pazaak itself is boring as fuck?"

Avellone: "Well, um, we're not entirely sure that that is entirely...fixable."

Bob: "What about the AI? Does it still cheat constantly?"

Avellone: "It doesn't force you to go first anymore."

Bob: "That isn't what I asked. Does Pazzak still suck?"

Avellone: "WE'RE NOT MIRACLE WORKERS! (cries)"

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%203/2013-06-02_00413_zps720eddd9.jpg.html]

Bob: "Well, I'm not going to play pazzak with him. Can I pass along a message, at least?"

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%203/2013-06-02_00415_zps0e502117.jpg.html]

Alien: "It's not like we aren't gonna murder him or anything. Noooooope. Certainly aren't going to do that."

Bob: "I'm going to go now. And not murder people. Well, we probably will. We tend to do that. But not this specific person. Not right now."

We head inside the cantina, and come across an argument between a patron and one of the employees.

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%203/2013-06-02_00417_zpsb8ebc9df.jpg.html]

Alien: "I am apparently also a completely different person from the member of the same species from outside, even though we look literally identical."

Oh, yeah. I've tried this pick-up line on all the ladies. Works every time.

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%203/2013-06-02_00424_zps5ee80d61.jpg.html]

On the list of things not to say to people on the first date, I imagine "you will see" is pretty high, in between "I'm a convicted serial rapist" and "I have a World of Warcraft subscription".

Bob: "C'mon, man. She's not interested. Why don't you leave the lady alone?"

Atton: "Is this scene in every single thing ever? Because it sure as hell feels like it."

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%203/2013-06-02_00427_zps74e0032b.jpg.html]

Bob: "Keep pressuring her, and you'll make it my concern."

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%203/2013-06-02_00429_zps2fd2780e.jpg.html]

Incidentally, "Prepare to Die" is the second worst thing to say on a first date, with number one being "I play an elven fighter in 2nd Edition D&D". Your date will be extremely displeased at your lack of proper class/race synchronization.

Also, the female Twi'lek in question vanished from the gameworld as soon as the fight ended. So, yeah. I guess we were fighting over a collective hallucination.

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%203/2013-06-02_00431_zpse8135a4f.jpg.html]

Bob: "Heard any rumors?"

Bartender: "Ah, you must be the protagonist of this RPG!"

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%203/2013-06-02_00433_zps3d30578f.jpg.html]

Bob: "You're being incredibly subtle, but I think I get what you mean. Humans aren't exactly welcome around here."

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%203/2013-06-02_00435_zpsd7f77f76.jpg.html]

Bob: "Jekk'Jekk Tarr?"

We'll be checking out this area eventually. For now though, we come across an...interesting affair.

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%203/2013-06-02_00442_zpscd47a6e2.jpg.html]

Bob: "So, ah, what's the context for...this?"

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%203/2013-06-02_00447_zps38353498.jpg.html]

Bob: "What sort of arrangement?"

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%203/2013-06-02_00452_zpsbf2e52dd.jpg.html]

Bob: "I'll see what I can do....I think I just became a pimp."

Atton: "Wow. How does it feel?"

Bob: "I...don't...know."

Yes, this side-quest is totally a thing. We bring one of our female companions here, they get judged by this guy, and then they're off to dance for Vogga in a chainmail bikini. Again, really. So far, we can only have the Handmaiden do it, but if we were female, we could do it as well, in addition to another companion we haven't picked up yet. If we bring Kreia, she gets rejected, and another companion we haven't picked up yet jut refuses to do it, point blank. We'll be coming back to this side-quest, simply because I need Bao-Dur and Atton in the party right now, but we'll come back to this soon.

Before we head to the refugee sector, let's check out the Pazaak den.

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%203/2013-06-02_00457_zps0fa88521.jpg.html]

Bob: "[Force Persuade]I can go in."

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%203/2013-06-02_00459_zpsc17c01b2.jpg.html]

Bob: "Thank you."

Atton: "Does it ever feel bad, brainwashing people for your own ends?"

Bob: "Not in this instance. I've already killed this guy once, and foiled his plot to murder someone before then."

Once inside the completely conspicuous Pazzak den, we're beckoned over by an unfamiliar face.

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%203/2013-06-02_00460_zps10ff5e3f.jpg.html]

Bob: "Hello yourself, gorgeous."

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%203/2013-06-02_00462_zpsce8bb020.jpg.html]

Bob: "How about a little game of cards, darlin?"

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%203/2013-06-02_00464_zps13f710f9.jpg.html]

i'll just leave this here

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%203/2013-06-02_00465_zps72982fec.jpg.html]

Bob: "..."

Bao-Dur: "..."

Bob: "Did you have to make those grunting noises while you played a game of fucking Space Blackjack?"

Atton: "Yes."

Bob: "Why?"

Atton: "Because."

Elsewhere in the Den, we find...a droid?

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%203/2013-06-02_00466_zpsd1261b06.jpg.html]

Bob: "Why do many players?"

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%203/2013-06-02_00468_zps4334c316.jpg.html]

Bob: "Why do you waste your time here then?"

Atton: "Hey, it doesn't stop you."

Bob: "Shut up."

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%203/2013-06-02_00470_zps39727d0d.jpg.html]

Bob: "I could take a look at your programming."

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%203/2013-06-02_00475_zpsff85d618.jpg.html]

Bob: "Hold on a second..."

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%203/2013-06-02_00480_zps0a4045b6.jpg.html]

Bob: "Hmm. I'll be back, module thingy. Just as soon as I murder enough people to get better at computers."

Thusly, we leave the Pazzak den, for now.

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%203/2013-06-02_00483_zps71d7a886.jpg.html]

However, on our way out, we come across this little guy.

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%203/2013-06-02_00484_zps27575838.jpg.html]

Bob: "Sure. As long as the woman in my head doesn't go on another existential rant about it. What do you have to sell me?"

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%203/2013-06-02_00488_zps59d0bb77.jpg.html]

Bob: "How do I know it's worth it?"

Bob: "Okay. Tell me something about the area."

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%203/2013-06-02_00493_zpsbf8ebf19.jpg.html]

Bob: "Why aren't you allowed in the bar?"

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%203/2013-06-02_00498_zpsbbbcbbb7.jpg.html]

Atton: "That sounds more like code for: I look up the waitresses dresses and then spill my Star Racer all over them."

Kaalah: "Not true! But...

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%203/2013-06-02_00499_zps85201bba.jpg.html]

We'll be coming back to those guys next time.

Our business in the Entertainment Promenade concluded for now, we head to the Refugee sector.

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%203/2013-06-02_00501_zpsc4aad476.jpg.html]

Bob: "Really? You guys are trying to threaten a heavily armed Jedi and his similarly badass companions? Do you even have brains inside those heads of yours, or is there just another testicle?"

Bob: "Well, that was easy."

Moving on, Atton stops us for a second to bring something up.

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%203/2013-06-02_00518_zps415a2545.jpg.html]

Bob: "What do you mean?"

Bob: "It's weird...with all of you with me...I feel more in touch with the force than I ever have been."

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%203/2013-06-02_00522_zpsbca3a02f.jpg.html]

Although they are a bit repetitive, I do like these little conversations about your alignment, and the fact the whole "your alignment changes how you look" is recognized as in-universe is one of those little touches that makes this game great, and fits with the overall theme and tone of the story.

Further on, we come across these fine gents.

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%203/2013-06-02_00524_zps4cd87ca9.jpg.html]

Bob: "Who are the Serroco?"

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%203/2013-06-02_00526_zps18f05e53.jpg.html]

Bob: "How rude. I'm going to write a strongly-worded letter of complaint to my local representative. Then I'm going to kick the shit out of you."

I know we're leaving a lot of deserving butts un-kicked in this update, but they'll get their comeuppance. We're here for one thing today.

We arrive at the Refugee Sector proper, and it's a...pleasant...place.

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%203/2013-06-02_00527_zps1062b1a5.jpg.html]

Eh. Still better than the average caravan site.

Now, what time is it kids?

PICKING UP SIDEQUESTS TIME!

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat's right!

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%203/2013-06-02_00528_zpsb6e0f735.jpg.html]

Bob: "I didn't take your daughter."

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%203/2013-06-02_00530_zpsf80ae435.jpg.html]

Wow. For someone who just lost her daughter, she looks incredibly bored.

Bob: "Can I help you get her back?"

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%203/2013-06-02_00533_zps318b31a3.jpg.html]

Woman: "I mean, yeah, I could get 600 credits out of my piggy-bank, but it's, like, all the way over there.

Bob: "Never fear, terrible parent. We heroes are always on hand to do the shit you should be doing. We'll rescue your brat!"

Atton: "I think calling us 'heroes' is pushing it slightly. Maybe "murderers who kill other murderers for slightly less evil reasons" fits better."

Bob: "Eh. Too long and unwieldy. We can't market ourselves with that name!"

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%203/2013-06-02_00535_zpse75183c5.jpg.html]

Bob: "Well, me might hit him. With our fists. And maybe some superheated plasma. And maybe also a katana. I'm told those are effective negotiating tool."

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%203/2013-06-02_00537_zpse74dc5cb.jpg.html]

Elsewhere, we find an interesting Twi'Lek.

Bob: "No, I don't think so."

Atton: "I don't even think we count as spacers anymore. Spacers usually have, y'know. A spaceship."

Bao-Dur: "Look, don't get your panties in a twist. The General will think of something."

Atton: "I'll have you know that I am perfectly capable of being indignant about something without twisting my panties."

Bob: "..."

Bao-Dur: "..."

Atton: "Fuck."

This in hand, we confront Atton with what we have learned. I won't be saying much until the end of this sequence, because this demands your full attention.

I know this is all great stuff, but I just had a mindgasm about how fucking awesome the writing is here.

Atton is essentially saying that he pretended to be a shallow, smarmy Han Solo rip-off to avoid his targets discovering his true nature and motivations, in exactly the same way that the writing presents Atton as the resident Han Solo stand-in to obfuscate his true identity to the player!

Bob: "And, at last, Atton. Awaken."

LOVE

THIS

SCENE


In a game filled with so many memorable moments, it's striking that something that is actually quite difficult to trigger is so well done, so memorable, and so critical to getting the whole experience of KotOR II. In the name of conciseness, I'll make a list of why I think this scene is so good.

1. It's entirely optional. This scene is by no means mandatory, and, in fact, the means by which to trigger it can be more than a little obtuse, having to stand in a very specific spot, with Atton in your party. In fact, the first time I played through this game, I never saw this scene.

2. It's foreshadowed in such a way that you'll never see it coming, but makes perfect sense when you get to it, and on a repeat playthrough, you can notice all the little inconsistencies in Atton's behavior.

3. It shows Revan's tactical genius, badassery, and ruthlessness in a way that the game that starred her never could. I don't exaggerate when I say that despite the Expanded Universe mostly shunning KotOR II as the red-headed stepchild, EVERYTHING about Revan's subsequent characterization is drawn from this game. Yes, even that terrible book.

4. It introduces the fantastic mechanic of turning force-sensitive party members into Jedi, thereby bypassing the awkward fact of the first game that non-Jedi party members were pretty much worthless.

5. We finally get a chance in a Star Wars RPG to be the master rather than the apprentice, and get an honest-to-god Padawan to our Knight.

6. It's just a brilliantly written scene, and while it may come across as exposition, we really do get a sense of where Atton was back then, and where he is now. His reasons for joining the Sith are actually fairly logical and make a fiar amount of sense, and he isn't even all THAT remorseful for his actions, which is a really interesting touch: he left the Sith partly to save his own skin, but also because his experience with the female Jedi so profoundly moved him that it caused him to have an existential crisis and reevaluate his entire life. He didn't just wake up one day, decide that his comrades were massive cocks, and shot his way out. He behaved the way an actual human being would. It's actually kind of beautiful. He came from a sith assassin and torturer, to someone who exists solely to help another. In some ways, despite his incredibly dark past and the heavy implication that he's a couple cheerios short of a bowl, he embodies what being a Jedi is better so many other characters.

7. It's more delicious foreshadowing for the finale.

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%203/2013-06-02_00750_zps0952acfb.jpg.html]

Now that Atton is a Jedi, he gains a new level for his new class. Sentinel is our class, so we won't be using Atton quite as much from here on in, but we'll still pull him out from time to time.

We won't be getting Atton a lightsaber for a very long time, so it helps to have something like this to tide him over.

And, there we have it. This update was extremely heavy on story, but if that bothered you, don't worry. Next week, we'll smash enough faces to fill plenty of space.

However, before we move on, we have a decision to make for Atton's future. Obviously, as a Jedi, he can now wield the awesome might of a lightsaber, but the question is: do we want him to? The consensus right now is that Bob should keep to the fisticuffs, but should we keep Atton on the blasters akimbo, or should we give him a lightsaber whenever we get a chance?

NEXT TIME: BOB BINDO: CHAMPION OF THE DOWNTRODDEN, AND LOOTER OF THEIR STUFF.

Excellent update.

Count me as another one that completely missed all this stuff the first time around - it was only after I got to the end and my brother asked me what I thought of being able to turn people into Jedi that I realised maybe I'd screwed up not paying close enough attention to all that influence stuff :p

As for blasters v lightsaber on Atton I'm easy either way, maybe go for blasters? Could make some of his... encounters... later in the game more interesting :p

Love the update =D

As for blasters
If you want Mira to stay with ranged weapons then Atton should get a lightsabre, but otherwise Atton with blasters is cooler. Variety is the spice of life, double-blades, dual-wielding, solo blade, double blasters, kung-fu; one for each Jedi. I guess you still have a couple of people left over if you get the whole set, but Mira and Atton are the only ones who it feels appropriate to give the blasters to

I say that Atton should stay dual blasters. He is used to being at range and it just makes more sense.

I think Atton should stay with blasters, simply because you're gonna probably need someone with a gun.

But yeah, I agree that this scene with Atton is amazing. Which is why I prefer Obsidian's writing to BioWare.

This is why i enjoyed atton more then carth despite the damningly annoying "Pure Pazaak" everytime he unlocked a door i alwys used atton because nothing fit my horrendously evil party of sith better than an ex torturer. My characters tend to resemble Varen more than Bob if it wasnt clear.

As for the question i say stick with blasters because...well i never stick with blasters and your unconventialness intruigues me

Good old Atton. Make sure not to Jedify everyone the first chance you get, don't want to wear it out. As for weaponry, again, why not do both? Use ranged until they get close, then swap to the lightsaber to finish them off. Or just go with whatever weapon has the better upgrades/specs.

[HEADING=2]Update 15: Gang Bang Shibang[/HEADING]

Sorry for the delay everyone; an unfortunate convergence of holidays, the steam summer sale, and the release of Civilization V's new expansion devouring all my life combined to create significant procrastination. But, worry not! With all that out of the day, we should definitely be back on...

...wait, Shadowrun Returns comes out next week?

Well, shit.

Last time, we had a chat with Atton about his dark and troubled past, and picked up a lot of quests from the local layabout refugees. We begin by starting to eliminate the Serocco gang that's muscling in on the Refugee's turf.

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%204/2013-07-09_00001_zps8f5e047c.jpg.html]

We travel through a tunnel of containers to reach Serocco territory.

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%204/2013-07-09_00002_zpsfff15032.jpg.html]

Bob: "Take me to your leader! Because I wish to talk to him."

Bao-Dur: "So, now we've done the "take me to your leader" joke. We've officially hit rock bottom."

Atton: "Man, we're way below there. We're officially in the molten core of the planet at this point."

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%204/2013-07-09_00006_zps4809531e.jpg.html]

Bob: "I heard the exchange has been getting in your way. Maybe I can help you guys get the upper hand."

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%204/2013-07-09_00008_zpsc5365c70.jpg.html]

We make our way into Serocco territory proper, and are greeted with an exceedingly bland sight.

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%204/2013-07-09_00009_zpsda4b9c1b.jpg.html]

Bob: "Grey...grey...grey...light grey...more grey...grey...oh, is that...no...it's gray...Man, these Serocco guys really don't know how decorate. Get some color in here!"

Atton: "Well, I know there's gonna be one color variation here soon enough."

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%204/2013-07-09_00010_zpscd48d9b8.jpg.html]

Bob: "Yeah. I have a problem with you bullying the refugees."

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%204/2013-07-09_00012_zps5b67a439.jpg.html]

Bob: "Surely you can find something better to do? Like, maybe take start decorating this place a bit? I mean, I'm not saying you should start painting everything pink and setting doilies over everything, but come on. This is gotta be really depressing to wake up to every day."

Serocco Boss: "I wish I could, but between running this gang and playing Animal Crossing, there just aren't enough hours in the day to truly express my love of decorating."

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%204/2013-07-09_00015_zps9cdb096f.jpg.html]

Bob: "What about the exchange?"

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%204/2013-07-09_00017_zps8c8898cd.jpg.html]

Bob: "I heard they beat you in an extreme sports competition to win the local skate park in a heartwarming and uplifting extreme sports movie plot."

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%204/2013-07-09_00017_zps8c8898cd.jpg.html]

Bob: "I have a plan to get revenge on them once and for all."

Bob: "If you penetrate both the rear end and the front door at the exact same time, it should leave the Exchange a quivering mess of it's former self. Make sure to armor up first, though."

Atton: "That sentence gave me cancer."

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%204/2013-07-09_00022_zpsdb6b81a2.jpg.html]

The Serocco go off to fight, and get their asses kicked off-screen, severely. Thankfully, this situation benefits us greatly: the Serocco is utterly destroyed, and the the Exchange is significantly weakened, alleviating the strain placed on the refugees somewhat.

More importantly however, with the serocco dead, we can start LOOTING!

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%204/2013-07-09_00027_zps669312b4.jpg.html]

We find this snazzy outfit for Bao-Dur. That's always the way in RPGs: the items with the better stats always make you look like an utter ponce.

We also find a broken-down airspeeder in the vicinity.

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%204/2013-07-09_00028_zps33a2fec6.jpg.html]

This airspeeder is pretty much useless, but it's an interesting little distraction regardless. We have the navigation interface, so we install that.

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%204/2013-07-09_00036_zps831f9385.jpg.html]

We'll revisit the speeder later, but right now, we begin tackling the second item on our to-do list: rescuing a little girl from the Exchange.

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%204/2013-07-09_00045_zps040b47ac.jpg.html]

Navigating the Exchange compound, we eventually come face to face with this ugly mother.

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%204/2013-07-09_00048_zps227237a9.jpg.html]

Bob: "Then maybe you ought to start bathing."

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%204/2013-07-09_00051_zps17c6d260.jpg.html]

Bob: "Yeah. I don't have a million horrific tentacles glad to my face, and we humans can get acting roles that don't involve Hentai. That's where we are now. You the one running this place?"

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%204/2013-07-09_00053_zpsc3280af0.jpg.html]

Bob: "What a spectacular thesis on the general suckiness of human life. I am truly bowled over."

Saquesh: "...is there a reason you are bothering me?"

Bob: "Yes. I'd like to talk to you about Adana."

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%204/2013-07-09_00057_zps086553a3.jpg.html]

Bob: "I would like to settle the debt and win Adana's freedom."

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%204/2013-07-09_00059_zps6d6350b2.jpg.html]

Bob: "Partly to be nice, partly to find some outlet for the masses of pointless credits I'm hauling around, and partly for delicious EXP."

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%204/2013-07-09_00061_zps51ecb745.jpg.html]

Bob: "You said she was feisty, yeah? Something tells me slave owners will not be fond of owning a slave that will defy them at every turn. She'll be hard to sell. I'll buy her for 600 credits, which is more than you'll get from anyone else."

Saquesh: "Very well, 600 credits."

Bob: "There, now wasn't that easy? Here."

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%204/2013-07-09_00065_zps96a30f4e.jpg.html]

With that quest done, we gain another level, and are officially pushed into the Upper Echelons of the Light Side.

We head back to the refugee camp to pick up some more quests and make sure Adana got home safe and sound.

Bob: "Ew."

In the corner of the camp, we find a sick-looking gentleman.

Bob: "No, actually. I think you just have...the cold. Seriously. The people in this camp are knee-jerking assholes. Now, hold still."

As a reward for helping out this penniless refugee with his cold, we get...an extremely valuable manufacturing component. Because logic.

Surprisingly, that's one of the last influence opportunities one gets with Bao-Dur. Thankfully, we have enough with him, but it can be extremely challenging to gain influence with Bao-Dur if you don't know what you are doing.

We return to the refugees' leader, Hussef, to inform him of our success with the Serocco gang.

Bob: "Well, if by 'wiped out on my own' you mean 'tricked them into a suicidal attack against a rival criminal organization using dirty underhanded tactics that would make your average League of Legends player tutter in disapproval", then yes. I did that. Is there anything else I can help with?"

Thusly, we return to Tentacle-Face, though this time, we aren't going to beat his face into the ground, tempting though it may be.

Bob: "Uh, I heard that, uh, the refugee Geriel has a terrible disease."

Saquesh: "Really? What disease does he have?"

Bob: "The Common Cold."

Saquesh: "Oh, the squidmanity! The horror! We must do something. But..."

However, the local Gamorreans take issue with us ransacking their stuff, and start introducing their aces to our faces.

In the process of wiping out the Exchange's muscle, Bao-Dur gains a level.

With the Exchange in this sector brought to it's knees, we return to Hussef.

And so ends our business in the refugee sector. We'll be returning here to fix up the speeder, but we have more pressing concerns at the refugee landing pad.

This scene was cut from the base game, and I can see why. See, this is something I'm going to be going into far greater detail towards the end, but Kreia's motivations in the base game were...vague, at best. However, in the Restored Content Mod, her motivations are far more clear, and this scene actually feeds into it, in a way. I don't want to spoil anything, but I will say that this scene works a lot better with the Restored Content mod's ending than the ending of the base game.

However, Kreia isn't able to stand there looking badass much longer, as she is suddenly attacked with a poison gas grenade.

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%204/2013-07-09_00181_zpsd7e9d582.jpg.html]

Fun fact: because of the way the cutscenes work in this game (they abide by the dice rolls of combat) it's entirely possible for Kreia to dodge the grenade, but then fall unconscious anyway.

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%204/2013-07-09_00183_zps5aa64e3a.jpg.html]

Mook: "Err...boss? Why are we locking them in the hold, thereby giving them a chance to overpower us and retake the ship? Shouldn't we take advantage of the fact that we have the upper hand to just, y'know, kill them and prevent complications? Why don't we just do that?"

Trandoshan: "Because shut up."

I suppose you could say that this is another example of a good deed having unforseen consequences, but, let's be honest, we're more glad to see this guy get beat up than pity for his situation. Nobody takes our ship and gets away with it.

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%204/2013-07-09_00192_zps9e422831.jpg.html]

Bob: "Ah...I sense a disturbance in the force."

Atton: "Really? What is it?"

Bob: "I sense that...the script says we have to go back to the ship."

Atton: "Oh. All right then."

And so we go back to the landing pad where we last saw the ship formerly owned by us. Unfortunately, a group of scruffy gentlemen block our path.

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%204/2013-07-09_00194_zpse17560b6.jpg.html]

Bob: "Atton, next time, why don't you try landing somewhere that isn't directly owned by a crime syndicate ran by insane trnadoshans, yeah? Might be something to consider."

Atton: "Look, it's not like I knew! It isn't my fault!"

Bob: "In what universe is this not your fault? That's like if I parked my car in the driveway of a serial killer, knowing that it wasn't my driveway, then protested at the inevitable result of me being tied up in their basement torturing me with instruments of agony by saying "Dude, chill! I didn't know a mass murderer lived here!"

Atton: "That's an eerily specific example."

Bob: "Look, let's just kick these guy's asses."

Atton: "That's your response to everything!"

Bob: "Because it applies to every situation. Now, stop talking and start shooting."

This is actually a tough fight. You have to go through wave after wave of these slavers to get to the hawk, each enemy being rather tough. That wouldn't be too bad on it's own, but because of the nature of the AI, they're more likely to charge off and aggro the next group of enemies before you have a chance to recuperate. It's a nightmare.

Fortunately, the fact that Bao-Dur is an incredible badass mitigates this somewhat.

Bao-Dur is particularly bad for drawing aggro you don't. Beneath that soft-spoken demeanor, he's apparently a bloodthirsty ************.

Inside, we're treated with yet more slavers, and the same problem that crippled us in the last fight goes double here, especially since we're getting attacked on all sides.

Thankfully, Atton has a special ability where he cannot be permanently downed if he isn't the last person alive on the team, which makes it handy for Bob to create a safe place for the party to regroup for the next strike.

Unfortunately, Atton's aggro drawing habits preclude any kind of complex tactics. Goddammit, Atton.

Thankfully, we're more than badass enough to mitigate this.

With a safe area finally cleared, we regroup and heal up before we attack the last few trandoshans.

First we head to the med bay, and clean up the enemies there.

Then, we head for the cockpit.

Finally, the leader of this group of assholes starts talking to us.

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%204/2013-07-09_00261_zps849a1b24.jpg.html]

Bob: "No, really? I thought these guys were trying to give me ice cream before I shoved it's creamy white goodness down their throats."

Atton: "Oh, for fuck's sake..."

This last fight isn't actually that bad. With a minimal number of enemies, we can easily focus on who most needs our fist in their face. Soon, the leader falls, and the former owner of the Ebon Hawk speaks to us.

In the room, we find a most unusual sight.

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%204/2013-07-09_00281_zpsb8ff0a19.jpg.html]

Bob: "Oh, fuck."

We are immediately attacked by the assassin, which is very bad news, seeing as we haven't yet healed up from the previous fight. However, this fight is easily exploitable.

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%204/2013-07-09_00287_zps763bb772.jpg.html]

If you run out to the corridor, the assassin won't follow you, so you can heal yourself up however you need before you go back in to fight again.

The Assassin does have a few new tricks up her sleeve, including this ability, which stuns us and makes our vision go wrong.

Despite her substantial skills, however, she's no match for our resident Kung-Fu Jedi, and falls.

With that, our mysterious assailant passes out onto the floor.

Later, in the Ebon Hawk's medbay...

Miraluka are a race in the Star Wars universe that are close to humans, but not quite there. Their most striking trait is their lack of eyes: even though they do have eye sockets, which is kinda messed up, evolution. However, thanks to the fact that Miraluka are more force-sensitive than other races, they can see through the force and sense the moral alignment of those around them, which is useful in a universe of black-and-white morality.

Later on, after everyone is rested and the Sith is recovered, we begin chatting to all the crew members once again, beginning with the Handmaiden.

We'll come back to the handmaiden in a bit, but let's go have a chat with Bao-Dur for now.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen! Resident badass, Bao-Dur, with some light meditation and a few punches and kicks, has now become a Jedi Guardian, the lightsaber focused melee badasses of the Jedi Order. Now, he's even more badass. I was going to save this for later, but we need to get that conversation out of the way before we can have this one.

You'll notice also that the process for Bao-Dur becoming a Jedi was significantly shorter than that of Atton, and I think that's mainly because of the two's respective roles in relation to the Exile. Atton's purpose in the story is actually closer to the "Token Evil Teammate" trope we see so often in media. We'll be picking up two legitimately evil teammates as we get further into the game, but even then they're both subversions of it: one isn't actually that evil, just a kind of a jerk, and the one that really is evil has good motives, and he's really just misunderstood. By comparison, Atton was a sith torturer and assassin, who, by his own admission, relished in the work, is, at the very least, mentally unbalanced if not outright insane, and murdered the woman who showed him the light and was in love with (albeit a kind of twisted, how-Chris-Avellone-sees-love kind of way, but love nontheless). And yet, he's consistently sympathetic throughout the entire game. I view his role in the game as continuing to strengthen the game's Grey and Grey morality system, and as part of the game's scathing criticism of traditional morality in the star wars universe and Black and White morality systems as a whole. Bao-Dur, on the other hand, serves to inform and reinforce the Exile's character. He is, after all, the only person in the party who has openly met the Exile prior to the events of the game, and they shared responsibility for what happened in the Wars. His actions and struggles has a character, namely, the fact that he enjoyed killing the Mandalorians. He serves as a partner of a light-side player character, as his regret and mixed emotions are undoubtedly indicative of how a light-side Exile must feel about themselves. However, the important thing in relation to the length of their becoming-a-jedi scenes is that Atton's is centered around one revelation that takes a great time to explain, while Bao-Dur's is simply the culmination of his character arc in the conversation with the Exile.

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%204/2013-07-09_00355_zps0d295b21.jpg.html]

Bob: "Do I have all the lightsaber parts we need?"

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%204/2013-07-09_00358_zps167ce4a6.jpg.html]

And, voila! Our first lightsaber. We'll have plenty more of these as the game goes on. For now, I'll be giving this to our newest companion, and we'll start looking for a single-bladed model for Bao-Dur.

Forging a lightsaber also gives us a level, so we start adding more points.

That done, we head over to continue our conversation with the Handmaiden.

Bob: "Can you teach me some fighting moves?"

The Handmaiden is not tough. In fact, she's pretty much a pushover. A couple of attacks and she's down.

But I didn't go there to submit to their ideals, or their version of the truth. I was there. I know what I did. I came back out of respect for who they were, not for their misplaced judgement."

And before we move on, there's one last person who wants to ***** at us.

Bob: "If by befriend, you mean "I didn't murder her in cold blood", then yes. I befriended her. Wait, why do you call her a Seer?"

It's worth noting that the obsession she had with the Exile as soon as she sensed him is similar to how Atton felt for the woman who revealed to him his force sensitivity, especially with the parallel that both were probably tortured.

Bob: "Who sent you?"

Bob: "I heard from Atton. I have seen similar acts of destruction: at Malachor."

[http://s295.photobucket.com/user/woodaba2/media/KOTOR%202%20PART%204/2013-07-09_00465_zpsb84cae06.jpg.html]

That's actually quite a bombshell regarding Malachor. Up to this point, it's generally been assumed that Malachor was the site of a massive battle. But this line implies that Malachor itself was literally destroyed by the battle. This gets more and more interesting.

Bob: "If your homeworld was destroyed, then how did you survive."

Well, that sounds...unpleasant.

Next Time: I tear my hair out trying to do the most frustrating puzzle in the world.

Question Time! What games, if any, did you get in this year's Steam Summer Sale? Unlike last year, I actually had a decent amount of disposable income saved for this, so I got Dawn of War 2 and its expansions, as well as the amazing Hotline Miami, but the standout game has got to be Euro Truck Simulator 2. I'm not even kidding, that game is fantastic. And I have no idea why.

Nice update, I always found getting Bao-Dur to become a Jedi was a massive pain because if you miss a couple of early influence opportunities there's nothing you can do to gain influence with him.

Personally, I bought Thomas was Alone, Hotline Miami and Binding of Isaac to fill my indie needs, and also Dark Souls and Just Cause 2.

Oh, and Surgeon Simulator. Because that is amazing :p

I don't usually bother much with the Steam sale; if a game comes out that appeals, I buy it.

However, Tomb Raider, Saints Row III, The Cave and Baldur's Gate EE.

None of those would I have bought at full price. Hmm, sales do work!

Nothing in the Steam summer sales, but I did finally pick up Planescape Torment in the GOG sale. I blame that (among other things) for the continued lack of updates in my own LP :p

I'm guessing the trandoshans stuffed the crew in the hold rather than killing them because they inteded to sell them as slaves at some point and they didn't realise what badasses they all were. Pure conjecture but I guess it fits.

Alternate title for the LP: Gang Bang, My Baby Shot Me Down.

I'm not on PC, so I didn't get to use the Summer Sale. XBOX 360 (The good one) had a sale, so I got Bulletstorm, Prey and some other DLCs at the time (As well, I bought the 400 Days DLC for Walking Dead).

Also, is there any way you'll be able to put this on the LP Archive after this LP's finished?

Most frustrating puzzle in the world? Hmm how odd, I know all of KotOR 2 like the back of my hand (minus the RCM), and I honestly can't think of any puzzle at your current stage that is frustrating. Two puzzles came to mind, but they are laughably easy.

Anyways, awesome update as always, so grateful to have someone with such great understanding and appreciate for the fantastic writing of KotOR 2 making such an entertaining LP!
