DESCRIPTION:
This is a modification which is made up of several fixes, additions and some new content for the relationship between Bastila Shan and the player character in Star Wars: KotOR 1. It comprises the following components:

- Additional dialogue options with Bastila, written by Allronix, scripts by SwFan28
- More additional dialogue options with Bastila (new, by SwFan28 and Darth Shan)
- Bastila and Female PC Romance options, by Master Kavar
- Bastila Romance Enhancement (Kiss Bastila), by SwFan28
- Bastila Romance Enhancement for Female PC (new, by SwFan28 and Darth Shan)
- Bastila Romance Glitch Fix, by Darth Shan
- Bastila on Korriban, by T7nowhere
- Helena Shan and Malare Clothing Fix, by Shem

These files have been merged and edited, squishing some bugs and trying to give you the most immersive experience when talking to Bastila in K1. Various scripts have been added to achieve plot consistency.
Note that this mod does *not* comprise the other files contained in "Allronix Dialogue Pack" and in Master Kavar's "Bastila Female PC Untold Love Story".
Plase note, that this mod features some instances of sexual innuendo and hints to homosexual relationship. But this is no adult mod and it contains no indecencies, nudity or anything like that.




CONTENTS:
Most of the stuff consists in editing Bastila's dialogue file. You'll have a bunch of additional options to react to Bastila's lines. There are additional lines for Bastila as well, some are voiced (either restored or taken from other parts of the game), some are not. You may romance Bastila regardless of your PC's gender, i.e. male or female PCs. In theory this should also work with additional gender options from the Kotor Savegame Editor, although this has NOT been tested.
When you successfully romance Bastila, there will be new animations when it comes to the kissing scene. The animations are different for male and female PCs respectively (this has to do with differently played "talk sad", "listen injured", "talk forceful" animations).
After having kissed Bastila, you may talk to her as often as you wish - without loosing the "Bastila"-Quest. (This is the infamous Bastila Romance glitch.) The bug has been fixed by removing a wrong script reference from her dialogue.
You may take Basty with you to Korriban, although she first insists that she wouldn't join you there. One dialogue option has been added, one has been cut. Try this, she has a whole bunch of lines which are really fun to experience.





INSTALLATION:
Copy and paste all files from the "Install>Override" directory to your game directory's Override folder (LucasArts>SWKotor>Override).
If you want to use other mods like Allronix' and Master Kavar's dialogue expansions, install them first and this Romance mod on top of them. This will necessarily overwrite some files. Accept it.




BUGS AND ISSUES:
- Bastila’s weapon(s) and headgear will be missing from the inventory after the kiss (male PC sequence). They will become available again the next time she’s in the active party.
- One dozen of unvoiced lines. Anyone befriended with Jennifer Hale?

Resolved issues from former versions of these mods:
Due to a bug in an earlier version of the dialogue editor, Bastila's dialogue file ("K_hbas_dialogue.dlg") had been corrupted, i.e. all flags for "sound exists", all references to 'dialogue.tlk', all Camera IDs and all animations had been deleted. This also led to the omission of dialogue lines from the file. All of this has been fixed.




Stinger:
Bastila: "I'm Bastila Shan, a member of the Jedi Order and a fleet commander for the Republic. Nobody 'owns' me! Now we don't have time for joking around. What are you doing here? "
Player: "I think you've got things confused. You were a helpless prisoner until I came along."
Bastila: "I may have been a prisoner, but a Jedi is never helpless. Maybe you've heard of a little thing called 'the Force'?"




GENERAL CREDITS:
