[tsl mod request] "torture chamber" aka getting influence

[valas991]

Hi,
I'm rather new to KOTOR games. In fact, I just played the games for the 1st time this year.
Anyway, on my first playthrough with KOTOR2, I went with mostly DS decisions, thus, in the end, I didnt have enough influence with 3/4 of my crew, so I missed a lot of conversation and the option to turn some of them into jedi.

I've read the influence guide and it turns out that if you want to get influence, in many case, you have to act nobly, get LS points, etc.
And it kinda sux.

So, there is the cargo/supply room in the ebon hawk, that is rather empty.
I was thinking it would be interesting to put at least one cage there, where you could put one of your crew members, and torture them. (either with force lightning, or with the built in torture lightnings I guess)

How would you get influence from this you may ask?

Well, the concept is that with enough torturing, their mind would falter, the exile would technically break their will, thus make them an easy target for manipulation, easy target for influencing them

Now, since I'm a newcomer, I have literally no idea if it's even possible, or if it is, with how much work, and with how incompatible it would be with other mods, such as restorec content mod, etc

Anyway, just had the idea, thought I'd share.
Take care

That is a funny idea! But I don't think anybody will take this request.

It's possible, and not a bad idea. I'd do it myself, but I'm busy with other projects.

Might I suggest adding a Force Persuade Option whenever you don't have enough influence with a character. It would be a lot easier to make than the torture option and would make more sense from a certain point of view.

heh

It's so obvious & simple that I didnt think of that...

But yea, that's great as well

Can't say I'm not interested in both ideas. You can kind of already torture Mira in TSLRCM, when she says 'It'd better not be meditation stuff.". Force Persuade should be a Force Power that you can gain, and you could also gain Force Persist. It certanly is an interesting concept.

Playing devil's advocate: Why not just use KSE instead?

Well, imo, it's easier to forget that you are cheating if you can do so during gameplay, it's more immersive in a way.

And, no need to quit the game, open kse, change parameter, save changes, commit, etc

And it's not really fun either

I like this idea sort of... But you should get a High percentage of dark side points for force persuading your allies

I think force storm would be better...

I still have the Mind Probe mod installed, from the ancient times of PCGameMods.

 

Basically, a headgear piece that allowed to raise and lower influence by set values. Very fine.
