Help me Avid Gamers, you are my only hope! (KOTOR Question)

Hello all.

I am a regular in the Lit forums and the RPF, but this is my first foray into Games. I recently purchased the game Knights of the Old Republic and I have been addicted to it! Yet, I have encountered a game glitch, and I was wondering if there is anyway to fix it, short of me restarting a mission.

When I was on Tattoine in the Sand People Enclave, I rescued the Jawas. Yet, I opened another door across from them. Later, when I was trying to find Mission's brother Griff, I noticed that he was not in the cell. Does he never appear because I opened the cell before I knew he was a captive of the Sand People?

Please let me know if this can be fixed. If not, can someone tell me what happens when i free Griff. I just want to know how that little storyline ends.

Thanks!

Hello and congrats on experiencing one of the best Star Wars games of all time!

However with your question I'm afraid I cannot help. I to have experienced this same problem. I don't know why he appears, I remember back in one of earlier play-throughs of the game I found him. But in later games he never appeared. Hopefully someone can come in to shed some light for us both.

 

Hello Nick! Nice to see you post somewhere other then in the Literature Forum

This error has never occurred for me, and sadly I do not know how to fix it. However, I can give a brief summary about what happens to the side quest once you rescue Griff. (At least as best as I can remember, as this is all from memory.)





Minor Spoilers

Once you rescue Griff, he goes in the Czerka office. Gracious for saving him, he promises to "let you in" on a business idea he has. He plans to make Tarisian Ale, which is quite profitable since the destruction of Taris. If you give him 100 credits (or something like that) and get a special item from Kashyyyk he'll let you have some of the profits. Of course there are several Light Side and Dark Side actions that you can chose, but the end result is similar. Griff runs off with the money, without even mentioning his sister, Mission. Eventually, Mission realizes that her brother is a jerk and decides to move on with her life.


End of Spoilers

I hope that was what you were looking for, and if anyone can fix any errors or expand this summary, feel free to do so!

 

Plotwise, that's it.

Glitchwise--if you hadn't progressed far enough with Mission to find out that Griff was supposed to be at the Tusken camp, and then go there anyway, I'm fairly certain you can't go back and get him. This happened to me twice on my forays through the game, and I never found a way of fixing it, other than going to an earlier save game before heading into the Tusken camp.
