As said, it's probably all semantics. Carth's meeting with the Exile is almost certainly unworkable for a DS ending to K1, which makes any replacement of Cede an aesthetic change rather than an addition of content, which isn't worth anybody's time really. So maybe best to assume he did die, regardless.

I'll repeat, majorly rusty on KotOR - probably think I remember much more about the plot than I actually do. But I was convinced that Carth just ran off at the end and only shows back up (to get killed) if Revan is female. Surely for a DS male revan, Carth would still get picked up from the planet and simply join the republic forces - of course, death in the battle is still a strong probability, but no battle has 100% casualties and it doesn't seem unreasonably to propose his survival in that scenario.

Interesting. Makes sense that the meeting wouldn't work - don't remember any of the dialogue, but I can well imagine how much of it may be dependent on a LS ending to K1. Without dialogue from Carth it may not be worth me pursuing any further, a purely aesthetic switch is probably just modding for modding's own sake, if one exists I'd be curious, but otherwise it's probably best to accept Cede and assume Carth is off doing something else productive. Cheers for the reply!

Yep, that's the thing I had in mind. Sorry, like I say, been out of all this for too long. Kept my head in the game with K1 content to some extent, but still haven't played the restored TSL! Finally want to get around to playing through the games, last few times I tried I modded too much and caused things to break, so was going to keep it simpler this time - so perhaps foolish to seek a Carth in TSL mod, but if this is going to be my defining Kotor/TSL experience, I would hope to be able to get both the Dark Side Revan ending for K1 and still see Carth admiralling about in TSL - but that may be unfeasible for any number of reasons.

Just thought I'd throw up a thread here since a quick search seems to be throwing up blanks for a mod I was sure would exist - is there any mod knocking around to put Carth back into the second game in some capacity when Revan was a Dark Side male? Sure, we leave him on the Unknown World, but the Carth/fem DS Revan ending PROVES that he gets rescued from the planet - I struggle to see why he can't be in the second game unless Revan was DS female, but perhaps his dialogue makes too many references to Revan being good for such a thing to work? It's been probably a decade since I played the game so I wouldn't really know. Anyway, I was hoping somebody might have made it possible, does anybody know anything like this?
