"Yeah, but they have different ways of saying it, and when they initiate dialogue they don't make it sound like it's your fault. They say "Why are we stopping?" when you get a vision or something."
WTF? You on crack? There always whining about me slowing down thier progress. "Why don' you hurry', "We have to get out of here; don't be slow'. Yawn.
"How is that lame? The characters in KOTOR2 are obviously not two-dimensional card board cutouts like the ones in KOTOR (whom I couldn't even tell if they felt anything for each other.) People in real life are often rude to each other but that doesn't mean they hate each others guts."
Oh please. One second Kreia is wishing that Atton was dead for no desernible reason; and the next she suggests for you to check up on him. It's on thing not be one dimensional; it's another to be a psyhco.
"They just have different ways of showing their emotions, like real people."
That's right. Real people *always* say they want someone dead, harmed, or left behind 99% of the time; but for some random crap; for the last 1% ask another to check up in them. I dunno about you; usually when someone insults someone they like/love it's because they are mad; not just because. Whatever.
"You got dark side points because you were playing an asshole. She was clearly in pain - she had her hand chopped off, and Atton could see that she was in pain, but she was hiding it from you. The fact that you can't see that, or that you choose not to see it, means you're an asshole. You could at least go and check on her. When you say she can 'take care of herself', you're being selfish, and it's like you don't give a shit about what happens to Kreia. It wasn't a fair and accurate compliment - it was a lie. Kreia was in pain, but she was hiding it. Atton says so himself. You just come off as a heartless bitch."
That's your (and obvious Obsidian's) stupid opinion. I was respecting her wishes. Obviously, Kreia is a proud old geezer and din't want to share her feelings. I respected that. What's funny is that when you do check up on her she completely denies being in pain (except a little discomfort) and tells you to stop bugging her about it. And, you lose 'influence points' with her. Whatever. I try to respect someone's wishes; and I'm the 'heartless bitch'. Hahaha. What a lameo game. And, what a lameo you are for slurping it up like a little whore.
"I did, but it's hard to reason with old people."
LOL Too true. You got the same reaction I did, there. :D
"I bet you didn't really gain or lose any points for it, though, did you? You could be an asshole and make her hate you and then gain her affection back, but that still leaves you at +/- 0, which does not help character progression at all."
Nope. All positive influence there.
"edit: about the conversation with Atton about Kreia's condition - even I could see that telling him she can take care of herself was a 'heartless response', because he was clearly egging you on to go see how she's doing. I mean, god, she's in pain. You'd have to be autistic not to realize the scope of the emotions in play during that conversation."
Again, as above, it's not about being austistic or heartless; it's about respecting her wishes. She's a non Jedi Jedi, and she's proud. I was repsetcing her. Since when is rpesetc darkside or ehartless. I was using my heart in respecting her. Lame.
"Let's just say your son gets beat into a pulp and your wife tells you to go see him, and tou tell her, "He's a tough kid, he'll get through it by himself" and refuse to go see him, you're just being a dick, not a caring father. Similar situation here."
That's right. Comapre some lame lass RL kid to an obviously powerful proud Non Jedi Jedi. Whatever. If that's the best you cna do to defend the lame actions so be it.
