Ah - I think I had some manner of bug here then, because when Atton went down I got the "All of your party are dead" message followed by the option to load last save, choose a save, or quit. I just had another go, trying a stealthy tactic, and while I could go into stealth and shoot the apparently unaware Darth Sion, I never seemed to get any Sneak Attack bonus damage. Boo. However, when Atton died I got a cut-scene and am now back in control of the Exile, so that's all good. I thought I was properly stuck!

Unfortunately it's all cut-scenes up to that point. It seems like the game basically drives itself from the point where you meet the jedi council. The fight with handmaiden's sisters, atris, malachor's surface as the exile and as the remote and as Mira all happen automatically with cut-scenes in between, but no opportunity to upgrade Atton's gear.

Yeah I have Mira with dual wield blasters and she is devastating - the Jedi powers are key though, because adding Master Speed into the mix with 2 pistols, 30-odd Dex and Rapid Shot and you're outputting around 200 damage a round. I should have done the same with Atton perhaps, but I have ignored him. The last time you get to use a workbench is unfortunately a long way back from Malachor V - probably way back before you fly to Dantooine to meet the council, so Atton's gear is unfortunately crap.

I don't mean Sniper Shot - precise shot is a passive feat that causes more damage and makes shots harder to deflect. I use shields and first aid and run, a lot. I can fairly easily scrub off 50% of Sion's health, but Force Drain is a ranged attack that he can spam quickly enough that he can heal faster than I can hurt him, and shields do not seem to stop it. I think I will have to give up. I can't imagine how many hours I would have to go back to have time to convert Atton to Jedi.

That was what I tried, rapid shot and a lot of "precise shot" feats to make Atton's shots hard to deflect. Usually one or all of them is deflected though. Even if I have a good round and do ~50 damage, Sion can drain me for more than that every turn.

Hi, I have been playing KOTOR2 with the restored content mod for a few days and I am near the end, Malachor V. So far the changes the mod has made have been uniformly excellent and there have been very few glitches (come conversations fly past at warp speed so you have to go and read them in the dialog log). I have reached a point I don't appear to be able to navigate though. I never turned Atton to Jedi, simply because I rarely took him anywhere with me. One of the restored bits of content seems to be a showdown between Atton and Sion after Kreia disables Mira, Visas, etc. I don't appear to be able to win that battle with Atton still a Scoundrel. I have kited Sion around the room while healing, using shields, and occasionally peppering him with blaster fire. As soon as he reaches 50% health he force drains me until he is back up to about 75% health, forever, until i run out of shields or health packs. Is it possible to beat Sion with Atton not being a Jedi? cheers, Andrew
