Influence can unlock companion backstories and training in Star Wars™: KOTOR II. Keep the companion you want to develop in your active party during relevant conversations and actions, then check back with them through dialogue.
How influence supports companion development
The supplied guide draft describes influence as changing through conversations and actions taken with a companion present. It also says that reaching certain influence thresholds can open more conversation about a companion’s past and, for some characters, training.
The draft names Atton Rand as a companion who can receive Jedi training. It does not provide exact thresholds or a complete list of the choices that raise influence, so there is no supported universal dialogue path to follow.
What to do
- Bring the companion you want to develop into your active party. The draft says you can have only two companions active at a time.
- Talk with that companion and pay attention to new dialogue as your influence changes.
- If their story or training has not advanced, continue playing with them present for relevant conversations and actions, then check their dialogue again.
The draft warns that some influence opportunities may be difficult to recover after a negative outcome, but it does not establish which choices are irreversible. If you want to avoid risking a conversation, save beforehand; treat reloading as a precaution, not a guaranteed way to unlock a specific outcome.
