Bugs, Glitches and Other Terrors :FNBGS:

Bugged Powers (from J.T. Wilder)
There are a few well-known bugged powers. Probably the most notably bugged
power is the Force Aura line, which gives no defense bonus at any of it's
three levels... leaving it as a booster of saves. The Force Aura line is
effectively the biggest power "lemon". Force Speed also gives no defense
bonus, which makes the first tier less useful, but the extra attacks still
make it worthwhile.
Marauder's Fury line also suffers from slightly crippled upper tiers. Both
of the higher levels of "Fury" should grant an extra attack(s), however,
neither actually seem to. This is too bad, since it would've been a great
alternative to Master Speed for the armored Marauder type. It's also worth
noting that Marauder's Fury line is an exact mirror of Hanharr's Wookie
Frenzy line (in fact, Hanharr's rage effects will be listed under the
Marauder's skill names in the "Effects" tab). So, both Hanharr and
Marauders seem to lose there should-be special attacks. This is just
something to be aware of, since you receive these skills by default.
Also, while not a bug per se, those players who like to check the effects
tab may notice some fuzzy math when it comes to Sith Marauders receiving
damage. The Ignore Pain skills subtracts a set percentage from damage
received, a la "Improved Toughness", but while "Toughness 2" is listed as a
factor in damage breakdowns, ignore pain is not. Instead, the math seems
to be done correctly, but not listed... resulting in seemingly bad
calculations.
Glitch when Deleting Old Saves
I was just doing some housecleaning, deleting old saved games from
characters that I started then abandoned, and using (X) to switch around
between them. When it got back to characters I had fully deleted such that
there were no more saves for them, it started acting odd. When I switched
back to my current character, the screenshots were all green, then the
Xbox froze.
Handmaiden Jedi Glitch
When you train Handmaiden to be a Jedi, you can sometimes get stuck on
Telos. You are NOT supposed to be on Telos yourself. This is supposed to
just be a cutscene with Atris. All you can do is reload and do it again.
Nar Shaddaa Glitch
Nar Shaddaa presents problems. Most can be solved by talking to Keelah-Nah
near the Cantina/Pazaak Den once, then again to set your reputation with
the Exchange. However, in some instances the cutscene that triggers to get
you the Comm Message is broken. If this happens, all you can do is reload
to before you cleared your ship of the Slavers, and try it again.
Modded Xbox Problems
I heard that modded Xboxes have trouble running KoTOR2 from the hard drive.
They'll freeze in a black screen when trying to load areas.
Dialogue Text Stuck On Screen ... Forever
While I was doing the Geeda/Nar Shaddaa merchant war quest, I talked to
Oondar twice in quick succession while he was vanishing. The line I said
at the end stuck to my screen until I reloaded out of it. It even appeared
in the START menus.
