NomadDC Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I've only found out that replaying story chapters is pretty much useless - it doesn't change the story according to what you do on replay - story is stuck dead on what you did first playthrough outside of individual chapters, which for me at least removes any incentive to ever replay them. A token to wipe our KOTFE/KOTET story and decisions would be an amazing opportunity (even though I think it should be a part of "replaying" story feature that is already in, but whatever). For example I don't want to start a new character to play story again, because I have all the unlocks, reputations and cool items on my main, but when I played for the first time through main campaign I thought that I can always go back and change things (because for me it made sense that if I can replay chapters - I can change story by doing so), and hence I did some decisions with "I will replay this later" mindset - sometimes taking decisions I would normally not take while counting that I will just go back and "fix" it. I don't mind having to replay whole KOTET and KOTFE story all over, and having all their progress wiped if it has to be so, as long as it allows to alter story.

dxlolman Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 It changes on different difficulty from what I hear try running on veteran or master if you got the gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomadDC Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) I can confirm it doesn't. I've been desperately trying to change it over last few days, and after figuring out that replaying it on story does nothing for me, I tried starting over on Veteran (which I never did before). I've went in order from chapter 1 kotfe to chapter called asylum (where afaik you could see first changes to your storyline if it worked - if you pick DS on chapter one when ship is about to blow and ram another ship, a guy from Koth's crew will be unhappy with you and will mention it) and despite me picking LS option on Vet - guy from Koth's crew still was mad at me for taking DS decision from original playthrough.

Vanjenn Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Yes, that's a great idea. There should be a way to replay and make choices matter! If you replay to see other choices and their effects on the story, you miss out on really seeing that in the replay by not being able to reset the original choices. The KOTET level 65 boosted characters don't even have a romance option, even if they go back and play KOTFE. Everyone should be able to add a romance option in their story if they want. There should already be a reset token to buy inexpensively, or better yet - a free reset button added to the outlander chapters interface to give us the option for our replay choices to matter, and our romance choices to work no matter the level you start on your character. (Let's hope Keith reads this and agrees!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveTheCynic Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 i want to replay with my character KOTFE/KOTET because i had a bug and i couldn't romance with beniko in the KOTFE chapter 9 in the cantina scene and i romanced her all the time but when i realized that there was suppose to have romance ihave already ended KOTET.... is there a way to reset it all and go back and replay it ????? and btw is someone knows how to avoid this bug with lana plz tell me... I can answer the last part, with the proviso that it's only for the next character you do it on. I'm also too lazy to type this out *again*, so I'll track it down in Forum Search and quote it here: Sorry to tell you that that character will remain forever devoid of Lana's romance. There are rumours of a possible "fixer" mission for later, but there's nothing concrete. The basic schema for the next character (the same schema applies to Lana or Koth): * Start KotFE Chapter I. * Play through to the beginning of Chapter IX // the end of Chapter VIII *without* there being a patch. * It doesn't have to be at one straight-through sitting (five or six hours if you watch all the cinematics), but it *can* be. * For best results, start on Friday night and play at various times during the weekend. They've never released patches other than Tuesday (normal day), Thursday (once in a while, usually for emergency fixes), and Wednesday (*once* only if memory serves), and certainly they wouldn't release one *on* the weekend itself. * Do not start your "at one sitting" run at 9pm. I did this one time, and finished at about 3am. * On the way to Chapter IX, flirt with Lana (or Koth if he's your target) at every chance you get. * Reach the cantina scene in Chapter IX. When you reach the atrocity wheel(1), it *should* look like this: 1. I want to speak with one of you. 2. [Flirt] I want to speak with one of you. The exact wording depends on your class, but options 1 and 2 are always the same on the wheel, apart from the [Flirt] tag. Pick Option Two. That takes you to a conversation where you'll get another [Flirt] option. Pick It. You'll get a pop-up warning you that you are about to start a romance. Click CONFIRM. Then play through the rest of the chapter normally, all the way up to the point where you begin Chapter X (with a cinematic full of blither about "Firebrand"). What if the atrocity wheel has only one option? 1. I want to speak with one of you. The solution below is slightly theoretical. People have talked about it, but I've never had the problem, so I can't vouch for its validity. *Immediately* bail out of the conversation by pressing Esc. Start any earlier chapter (use Shift+E to get the Chapters panel, then make sure to press PLAY / LAUNCH so that you get *into* the chapter). Restart Chapter IX and take the flirts with Theron. This reactivates the "Atrocity Wheel Option 2 needed" state on your character. In all cases, once you've locked the romance in place, make sure to finish the chapter! Final note: the marriage proposal (we haven't seen the wedding itself) happens at the end of the "series of flashpoints" story arc that follows KotET, in the aftermath of the Nathema Conspiracy step. (1) "wheel" because it's a dialogue wheel. "atrocity" because it's an atrocity in game story progress management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
