Meeting Carth has nothing to do with your character being dark side or light side. It has everything to do with Revan being dark side or light side. If you say Revan saved the Republic, then you get Carth. If you say he fell to the dark side again, then you don't get Carth. I think Bastilla only ...

I sort of like the idea of random items, but I find it to be really very flawed in this game. I find that it's either not at all random, or just ridiculously wrong. For example:

NOT AT ALL RANDOM
There's a thread about people getting the same lightsaber colors over and over again. The example given ...

Kill the golems? Are you nuts? I can think of nothing less stealthy than that. Forget how similar the fake dragon eggs look, you think when the matron mother sends people to go get the eggs for the ritual they're not going to notice all the guardians dead on the floor and think "Hmm... I think ...

I love having Keldorn in my group, but I tend to boot him out when I get to TOB. He said he would go home to his wife for good after we had rescued Imoen, and while I understand how he is honor bound to see the whole Irenicus thing through, there's no excuse for him wandering around the woods with ...

I was able to get past the drow door guards, but I don't remember exactly what dialogue string did it for me, or if it required a certain stat (like high wisdom or high charisma). I know I had already agreed to help Adalon, so I was disguised as a drow. If you talk to them looking ...

Well, they should have an icon for it, but I'm pretty sure the cambion says something along the lines of "Uh, oh, hope you have something that can remove curses." right after you draw the card. Clearly this was karma's way of saying you should pay attention to the dialogue.

I'm not sure what the problem here is... You want Imoen (who you would edit to be a swashbuckler/mage) for roleplaying reasons... But you want Haer for his class...

So why not just edit Imoen so that she's a blade? You're already planning on editing her anyway, and you've edited your protagonist ...

I voted for the bottom one too, but not so much because I think I'm trying to be difficult, but because I think you're trying to be difficult by creating a whole bunch of options to what should be a two option poll. You have 2 choices for Sorceror, 3 for Wild Mage, and 1 of those choices for Wild ...

I don't suppose she was hit with the spell Holy Smite? I seem to recall there was a bug where the blindness was permanent and couldn't be dispelled. I think Baldurdash fixed it, so you might try downloading that if you haven't already.

Of course it's overly cheesy... If it weren't also hillarious (And trust me, watching a giant beast plant bear traps is funny), then the cheese would be the whole point.

hmm... Which one made the transformation an item? I seem to recall it used to be a special ability that worked automatically (like the normal druid shapeshifting abilities)... But now in my games it just creates the paw icon in my inventory and can be equipped and unequipped at will.

Well that answers the question, "What is it?" but it still doesn't answer the question, "What does it do?" I'd answer the question myself, but I installed it at the same time as TOB, and I know TOB also made changes to the class, so I'm not sure what changes are from what.

The inmates should all be dead. If at the end of the fight they are alive, they automatically die when Irenicus leaves. I found this out after trying really really hard to finish the fight with all the inmates still alive.

And yeah, your problem is that Saemon isn't showing up. If you can get down ...
