I used the search function and typed in "INFLUENCE GUIDE" and it searched the entire network of forums on this site and came up with a TON of threads that I really didn't want to search through (most of them on the first couple of pages didn't even relate to kotor)......so does anyone have a quick link to a guide that tells you how to get influence on any NPC in KOTOT 2? Thanks to anyone who helps out.

Possible Spoilers

Well it just so hapens that I was in the mood for heloing with influence...On Handmaiden,Visas,Mandalore and some of Atton...Those are the only ones I really know.Dark Side of course.

Handmaiden-(preferably)when you first get her abored the Ebon Hawk gladly except her into your'e party.Go talk to her about the Echani and the poetry,Ask her a little about her self just basicly get to know her.Then after you get enough influence on her spar with her a bit.Just din't really insult any traditions of the echani or anything.You can kill random people just not those who don't pose a threat.

Visas-When you fist go to talk to her just get to knoe a little bit about her and her home world.She usn't really hard to gain influence on though.Just go kill who ever and se will follow you.If you want to you can ask about How her kind are blind.But otherwise she is fairly easy.

Mandalore-I got to know him a bit better when he was first a part of me team.Basicly the Best thing to do is to talk to evrybody In Mandalorian Battle armor(with Mandalore in your'e party)Ad help him recrute(sp?)people into Clan Ordo.You will gain a whole lot of influence on him like that.

Atton-Well atton was very Hard for me on dark side.Just get to know him a lot better.And you can kill random people,Just tell him that he made the right choice by killing people along with you.

But other than that the best tip would be to just get to know them Better,And to make decsions that go with your'e aligement(sp?)

You sure about that regarding Mandalore? I heard recruiting those Mandalorians do squat with Mandalore's influence. Basically the only real opportunity to gain influence is to kill some innocents (see Dan Simpson's hit list for his Influence guide in Gamefaqs) and do actions that tend to support Vaklu in Onderon. It has been commented that the gathering of the clans is an incomplete quest.

Just as an aside, I had him with me for those Mandalorians on Dantooine and it netted no LS/DS points, no experience and no influence with Mandalore recruiting them.

Yeah I am pretty sure,I didn't even realize that it was even a quest.

I can't link to guide in gamefaqs directly (the site won't allow it but just go and bookmark Dan Simpson's Influence Guide FAQ for KOTOR2). You will have all those NPCs eating out of your hand LOL. KOTOR2 should still be on the top 10 of their most requested FAQ pages when you visit the main page http://www.gamefaqs.com

P.S. Once that happened with the Mandalorians in Dantooine, I didn't even bother going to the group in Nar Shaadaa (that is it, only two groups of Mandalorians).

what about Kreia?

I think it's difficult to gain influence on her. What do you think? I am playing as Dark.

kreia is easy. Just say what she wants to hear. This gets a few DS points for a LS character. The fact that you gain more force points by pursuing the training through is incentive enough but you also get more xp and background information.

I think you need something around 11 to 13 awareness for the infinite Kreia influence bug. Keep talking to her about Visas' homeworld and making the [awareness] observation when it pops up for influence again and again...

I love the gems she drops about Revan.
