I've noticed on the forum people mentioning training Handmaiden and others as Jedi. About the only info anyone's given on this is that you need a lot of influence with them.
I've got PC kotor II, can you do this with the PC version?
Do you have to be a Consular or anything to do it, or can Guardians and Sentinels do it too?
How much influence is required, how does one get this started? I've gained enough influence with the companions to noticably affect their alignments, how much does one need to make them jedi?
I didn't know about this game feature on my first character but was keeping an eye out for it with the second, which also became a Jedi Master at a lower level (15th as opposed to 19th for my first becoming a Weapon Master). I couldn't seem to find the dialogue that starts off training others into the ways of the Force all the way through that game and quit when I made it to Malachor V without success. This game I really searched for as much influence upon the companions as I could find.
So is this just an X-box feature or something?
Perhaps if someone could give a basic walk-through of training other companions as Jedi, in an example, I could understand how this is done.
I mean, tactically, becoming a Jedi Master and training others in the use of the Force is the most appropriate counter to the initial Sith threat in the story line. For a benevolant Jedi. Kind of like the way Yoda didn't go off and train more combatively and then go after Palpatine like a Jedi Assassin after Episode III. Instead, following Obi Wan's lead, he trained more Jedi Masters (Luke), to replace those killed off by the Emperor, only the Emperor is always getting older, an active Jedi conclave will always attract new pupils...that's how Palpatine really lost the war (the whole tryst with Skywalker family was just representative of this).
I thought that on my first time through the game, when prompted to which elite class I would like, I knew the intelligent one was the Master. Not for power (I ended up taking Weapon Master for that and walked through every encounter for the rest of the game with a couple of hits from a tough lightsabre and good equipment). But for beating the Sith threat at its very heart, countering its purpose.
If this road had been taken of course (become Master and train other Jedi), the story line continues to counter-counter that with the fact that Darth Nihilius gains power from draining force users, feeding himself on them.
Yes it's obvious the game was only half finished since this plot development potential is left untouched (a new dimension to Darth Nihilus in an extended series of PC showdowns). Some interesting combat between a Jedi Master character with appreintices and Darth Nihilus draining them, levelling their energies back at the PC and disabling their supportive combat effectiveness on the way.
Might've made a nice addition to a more tactically combative "sleeps-with-vibroblades," for Weapon Master PC's, equipped better with lootable items and given a cadre of real combat Sith. Since a Weapon Master would be a good counter for a tougher Darth Nihilus.
And a more sustained Force using "witch" for a Sentinel PC (throwing powers at the pc during inopportune moments in the midst of combating others, providing player-chosen opportunities at forcing a showdown, ie. confronting her immediately upon deciphering her true identity). Since the obvious polarity to Darth Traya is a Sentinel/Watchman.
But presently what concerns me is how to make the other characters Jedi. I can't seem to figure it and I'm already at 11th level and have just left Telos on my second attempt to train them in the Force.
