About This File
After the Dantooine Enclave sequence, there are very few opportunities to change your party's equipment before arriving on Malachor V. If you are like me and regularly unequip your party's gear to keep it available, you may then find that your companions unwisely attempt to fight Darth Traya armed with nothing but their fists. This mod makes it so that you return to the Ebon Hawk after finishing the Ravager sequence, giving you the opportunity to select your party's gear for the Malachor cutscenes. It also modifies the "traveling to Malachor" cutscene so that Atton does not appear if he has left with Kreia because of jealousy over the Disciple.
This mod comes in two versions which affect how the galaxy map behaves when you travel to Malachor:
- OPTION A (Limited Galaxy Map): Displays the full galaxy map, including Malachor. All planets are visible, but you will only be allowed to select Malachor as a valid destination.
- OPTION B (No Galaxy Map): Does not display the full map and instead offers a dialog option confirming whether you are ready to go to Malachor. Malachor's appearance is therefore not revealed until the Ebon Hawk arrives there, as in the vanilla game.
Thank you for downloading, and I hope you enjoy this mod!
