So I still am a bit anal out my last playthrough of KOTOR 2 because of so much I did not know. How the fuck was I suppose to know that most of the party members can be Jedi?

I mean jeez the Malachor V finale did not end up well. No one was Jedi, Visas died, the Shadow Mass Machine failed because G0-t0 stopped it. Man last time I play an RPG blind, this is why people always want to get the best possible outcomes they desire in many RPGs because otherwise your in for a rather dissipointing playthrough.


So anyway I am just curious that can everyone have max influance without comprimise? And also how do I make these characters become Jedi themselves?

There are guides out there that tell you how to maximize the influence points. One weirdness is that they never tell you if they are written with tslrcm in mind (or if so, which version).

One thing I can tell you for sure is that sometimes you have to choose to gain influence with one follower while losing it with another. Likewise, some encounters will permit you to gain influence with one follower among a few choices. You have to bring the one you want to influence and leave the other behind.

Closely related to influence is darkside/lightside points. Often you must lose points from the side you wish to favor in order to get some influence.

Personally, I hate using the guides. I prefer to make the choices that feel right to me. It pisses me off a bit that it means that I can't hope to unlock all the abilities and content that I would if I kept a book handy to help me navigate through every conversation. I guess that's just the nature of the rpg beast.

Using TSLRCM: Yes
Not using TSLRCM: Yes, except for Mandalore

I have the restored content mod installed already mind you.
