One thing that always bothered me about KOTOR II - TSL is the influence system, in which you can gain either positive or negative influence with your party members, by saying or doing stuff that they can agree or disagree with, and positive influence will bring them closer to your LS/DS alignment and negative influence will make them go the other way, opening up new dialogue options, and in some cases train them in the ways of the Force.

My problem is if you have negative influence your companions will open up to you. That doesn’t make any sense. Think about it, my companion dislikes me so much that they are now willing to tell me more about themselves, and later, they disapprove so strongly of my comments and actions that they now want me to train them in the ways of the Force. That’s not how relationships work. I would want to have everyone on my side.
