I agree with 2 and 3 but dislike the influence system and would scrap it completely from KotOR II. I prefer party members to have their own personalities and challenge what you say and do. I didn't particularly appreciate how in II, so much good dialogue was locked behind the influence system either; it made KotOR 2 feel emptier than it was. I'm not against the influence system entirely, but it would require considerable work and a large rewrite, and then you end up likely deviating too far away from what made these characters great. I don't want them to be blank slates moulded by the PC - the companions, except for Kreia and HK in II, felt zombie-like to me and far more stale than in I.
