Double Crossing The Exchange?

After reading a kotor fic lately i've been wondering if there is any way to make a mod that lets you double cross the exchange.

 

Such as when you deal with the Rakhgoul Serum, instead of having to choose either only the DS option or the LS option you can choose a third option marked as (Lie) when you talk to Zax.

 

Doing so would give you a double dose of LS points on the same side quest.

 

Can this be done?

True.

 

But, if you do it that way you'd have to run all the back to Zax. If you do it on the way from the undercity there won't be quite that much running back and forth.

 

Still a good idea though.

Hmm... interesting... I'll have to figure out how to change Zelka's dialogue so that you can still give him the rakghoul serum after giving it to Zax.

 

It will probably be a global variable, or maybe an inventory check. If you're going with the two vials route, you'll have to change Zax's dialogue, so that if you're not going to double-cross him then you give him both vials (or none, if you're going LS). If you are going to double-cross him, then just write a script that destroys one of the serum's from your inventory, and keep the other one for Zelka. Here's how I would structure the options for Zax:

 

1) Here is all of the serum I found.

2) (Lie) Here is all of the serum I found.

3) NO! I love life and all of its runty little children. Let's go save all the nice children in the Undercity...

4) I'll have to think about this.

 

So 1) and 3) would trigger the same reaction from Zelka, but you would then add some reaction for 2), which would be something along the lines of: "Oh my, aren't you a fiendish devil? Here, have some LS points". I would keep the LS points for double crossing the Exchange the same as if you just sided with the doctor, but have the former get some influence (or some money). Or perhaps the former could have some sort of persuade check on it? Otherwise there's no real reason not to do it.

This topic has changed. lol.

 

About the double-crossing the exchange aspect, I'm sure it would be extremely easy to change dialog and make a new script for that mod. I'll take a look at it for you.

Uhm... I really do hate to burst your bubble, but it's not simply a script and dialog edit >< It requires editing the Global Variable too...

 

But I did think of one thing that could happen... you could find a "Fake Rakghoul Serum" and give it to Zax, like you can do with Shaardan on Korriban, by giving him one of the other swords... basically it would be a non-usable antidote pack ahah.

Just thought of something.

 

You find the Real Rakhgoul serum on the sith corpse.

 

What if Igear has the Fake Rakhgoul serum?

 

It sounds like something he would do.

 

not a bad idea

That wouldn't really work out though... because if Igear has the Fake Rakghoul Serum, what's to stop him from saying that he can help the others with Zelka >< then Zelka would mass produce it and then everyone would die. aha...

Eh... I'll give the fake Rakghoul Serum to Gorton and then you can kill him :xp: That way you only have to make one trip down into Zax's domain, other than when you have to go talk to Canderous or if you're a bounty hunter :p

I had forgotten about the fact that Outcasts can't actually leave the undercity.

 

And, i don't think that anyone in the undercity would be stupid enough to think that he actually has a cure.

Assuming that there is a global variable. It could just be an inventory check, but I'd have to make sure.
