Force sight?

[Totherpage95]

I've just realized that kreia and visas see differently and that force sight should allow me to see in the same way sentients alignment and such which i had no idea because the sight isnt in my game. kreia and visas see no differently in first person and force sight does nothing for me except cost force ... apparantly ive heard it also doesnt add a buff arrow on my portrait but other than that i dont know whats up. any ideas? ( my friends tell me its not particularly important to game but i still wanted to know why it doesnt work) i suspect this has something to do with my computer...

Thanks

You have to be in First Person mode to gain the benefits of Force Sight.

Sure it does.

It doesn't work on your main character, he's not a Miraluka, and it's not an activatable skill (so it never costs force points); it's always active, and it doesn't add an arrow to the party portraits. When you are controlling Kreia or Visas directly, if you hit Caps Lock (default) to go into Free Look mode, the edges of your screen will have a smoky/wavy effect, and people will be highlighted different colors according to their alignment, like so:

Main character looking at Visas:

Kreia looking at Visas:

Visas looking at main character and Kreia:

But again, only Kreia and Visas, and only in Free Look mode.

The main character can learn that skill after talking with Visas long enough. I've done it on the Xbox a few times. and unlike Kreia's and Visas' it works in third person.

You do have to cast it so it does cost Force points for the Exile.

Frankly, for some reason, I can't get the effect to work on my copy of Kotor 2. If I use Visas, and go to 1st-person view...it's exactly the same as everyone's elses.

EXACTLY

[Totherpage95]

i thought the tsl mod would fix this but it must be something else

[Totherpage95]

another glitch is in space battle where you defend the ship with the turret guns i cant see the enemy ships... ( i can see explosions only and the game tells me when ive destroyed a ship) but this doesnt matter as much to me at least because the game only lets you man the turrets once i think anyway ...

do you think its a graphics setting? what settings are on your kotor 2?

[Seera1024]

Yea, it sounds like there's likely some graphical glitch going on for you. I got it to work on the Xbox when I first got it so it's not a glitch that the TSLRCM can fix. It works without it, since you can't mod the console version. You're just likely not seeing it due to some graphical reason.

Try adjusting graphical settings. And are your video card drivers up to date?

*snaps fingers* Actually, I think I remembered why it doesn't work on mine: I turned off the Frame Effects Buffer.

The Buffer adds certain special effects, such as the invisibility (when cloaked), and the motion blur when using force speed. But it also tends to destabilize the game. (Plus, on my laptop, the option is greyed out entirely)

It's possible that the Force Sight effect is part of the Frame Effects Buffer.

Ah! THX

I think I have that disabled as well, but when someone goes into stealth mode they still look cloaked. Is it supposed to look even more invisible?

[Hassat Hunter]

Without frame buffer effect they have yellowy outlines.
With frame buffer effect they just turn invisible, and you see blurryly what's behind them.

And yes, Force Sight is part of those effects.
