DESCRIPTION:
A lifelike rendition of the character Ahsoka Tano, Padawan to Anakin Skywalker, from around the time of her departure from the Jedi Order.
FEATURES:
-----------------------------------
AHSOKA AS SINGLE-PLAYER SIDEKICK:
Have Ahsoka assist you on your single-player missions. After loading a level and activating cheat mode, type this in the game's console:
npc spawn ahsoka
A CHATTY BOT:
Ahsoka's multiplayer bot has a true-to-character, chatty personality, and is loaded with new things to say -- directly sourced from and inspired by her character talk and snap-backs from official games and TV show episodes, leading up to the end of The Clone Wars.
NEW DUAL LIGHTSABER COMBINATION:
Ahsoka being a dual lightsaber wielder in the traditional fashion, with a shoto blade, I've included her second lightsaber in the game's lightsaber selection menu. This allows the player to actually use a shoto (shorter bladed lightsaber). I found this makes fighting against duals a little less predictable, and helps to spice things up a bit both visually, and in terms of gameplay.
Console Reference:
Primary: tano
