Mod Title: KOTOR2 Computer Use and Repair Skill Swap 1.1

 

Author: Mellowtron11

 

Description-
Something that always bothered me from a lore perspective was the fact that the Consular got the repair skill and the Sentinel got computer use as part of their respective class skill sets. This is all fine from a balancing perspective, but I was always confused how a class that dedicates itself to research, diplomacy, and Force usage has a more practical worldly skill. In the same vein, Sentinels are considered to be slicers, but why aren’t they adept at repairing things as the lore suggests?

 

On that note, I also thought that a Jedi career that includes researchers and historians within its ranks would probably be better handling computers than machinery. So, to keep everything balanced skill-wise, the Consular and its corresponding Prestige Classes (Master and Lord) now have Computer Use. The Sentinel and its corresponding Prestige classes (Watchman and Assassin) now have Repair as a class skill.

 

I also made computer use a class skill for the Scoundrel and removed it from the scout’s skill list, similar to the Scoundrel and Scout classes from the Wizards of the Coast Star Wars RPG Core Rulebook.

 

All classes mentioned in the changelog below will be affected for both your player character and your respective NPCs. E.g. Kreia and Atton will have Computer use, Visas will have repair, etc.

 

Installation-
Copy and paste or drag and drop the skills.2da and feat.2da files into your override folder.

 

Uninstallation-
Delete the associated skills.2da and feat.2da files from your override folder.

 

Incompatibilities-
Anything that also modifies the skills.2da and feat.2da files will probably not work.

 

Known Bugs-
None, but if you find any, please message me at Deadly Stream.

 

Permissions-
Please do not claim credit for this mod or redistribute it without the author’s explicit permission.

Alright folks! Sorry for posting this several months later, but I finally fixed this mod up to what it was originally supposed to be. Sorry for the very long delay. Things have leveled out for me right now so I've been able to devote some time to modding again. 

 

Here's the  new changelog.

 

Changelog V1.1

And for those who were curious about getting feats to show up or disappear, here's a small list of what I had to do. For those you don't know about the abbreviations, bead-v's character stat guide is posted below with the proper info.
